Any experiences with ITT-Tech for military vets? The GOOD and BAD please!

I am getting out of the military in 7-8 months and I am looking at going to ITT-Tech's information technology degree program. I want to know the good and the bad. I did some research on the VA website's tools and there was only one complaint for the school in Albuquerque but a lot of complaints for other locations. Anyone have experience?

Too many issues with that school with very low academic standards. Get with your education center for a more solid school.

In addition to the message I sent you I'm going to add 3 sites you might want to look at.
At about certifications in the area you called:
http://certification.comptia.org/getCertified/certifications.aspx
A choice of school that is free and will allow you to get the certification free. Remember there are many schools that offer the same thing for a very high price.
http://perscholas.org/it-courses/
the school you asked about so you can compare what your looking for VS what they offer to get to your intended goal.

CompTIA certification - IT certifications

CompTIA has four IT certification series that test different knowledge standards, from entry-level to expert.

If the unaccredited school that you are considering has more commercials than the next three schools combined, you might be considering ITT-Tech.

There are way too many ACCREDITED (regional is much better than national, btw...) schools that you have at your disposal to even consider this school.
I'd rather see you go somewhere that will land you a good job, not an acting gig on a commercial...

My younger brother attended ITT he went for 2 years he is still paying off his $48,000 loan he can't use his degree because it's not an accredited school and he can't go back until it is paid off.

SSgt James Bingham, unless you already have a background in IT, based on what I've heard from many people a degree from ITT Tech isn't worth the paper it's printed on.

A school I have heard lots of good things about is WGU Online. Not only do you get a degree but you get industry certifications as well.

My experience was bad. The instructor for my basic networking class was Russian and barely spoke english... I dont care that he was russian I cared that he spoke broken english. When i asked him what his degree was in he told it was classified.
