WSU Tech

Currently enrolled in the AMT (Aircraft Maintenance Technician) program. While I go to school, I also work in the tool crib. Got to say if you're a hands-on person, this is definitely a great school to attend. At this NCAT center has programs from Welding, Composites, Design, Airframe & Powerplant and more than I know. It's got the same Academic Credentials as Wichita State University. Grinding out the general requirements is tough but once your past that classes become more hands on. Got a full ride scholarship from Kansas Promise Scholarship. For the Cost and time it takes to complete a program this facility will become one of the top leaders in producing Future Work Force individuals. Very diverse culture men and women. Staff is young and old with a lot of knowledge and wisdom.

My son got his certification for CNC programming here at WSU Tech. Everyone was very helpful in getting us through the enrollment process. My son said he really enjoyed the classes and his teachers. They also took the students to job sites and had them speak with employers.

Went to this school in 2018-2019 through the Wichita promise scholarship. I had financial aid and it was a long and tedious process to get it. Teachers were great, but they never gave us enough time on the computer videos to learn from them. Also, never really learned any type of hands on things with sealer... I was there for aviation sheet metal classes, but they only touched on sealer things vaguely. When I left the class it was optional to attend the graduation ceremony due to covid starting at that time. I chose not to attend and did not get my certificate in the mail or an email notifying me to pick it up. In the end, I only had to pay for the book for the class, but I guess if you only pay $50 you get what you pay for. I now work for textron and am going through their training classes and am shocked at how much information that wsu tech left out. Also, I had to apply multiple times for different entry level sheet metal jobs for them to deny and then finally hire me. If you ever have to say where you got your experience from do not list WSU Tech as a source, since most aircraft people don't even know that they changed their name to WSU Tech and also because the companies are on the fence hiring people from that school. Final take aways, you get what you pay for, so don't expect to go in and learn something life changing because most of the teachers are there to do their job and go home. They don't want to answer extra questions or give extra help to students that need it.

I got Covid and missed 1 week of a 4 week class. I failed the class despite asking for extra time. So if you get Covid you pretty much have to come into class. Also the class was a prerequisite for the next class in the semester so I messed that too. Overall to get my associates it is going to take 3.5 years. I tried to take electives that interested me, but there were never enough people enrolled to actually take the class. They also crammed 2 classes into one room and yell at you for talking. The worst part though is that I feel like I could have earned the same skills on YouTube in a matter of weeks. So many more issues but no time to share. (Also I think my old review was removed) So to recap. If you get Covid you have to come into class. You’re not going to get much from it. And it’s going to take as long and cost as much as a bachelors degree. They cram multiple classes into one room. And you’re going to pay on average around $200/lecture. Like I said there are 1,000 more issues you should be aware of before you start here, it’s very easy school but the policies and content are mostly terrible. Just get a bachelors

Newly enrolled, adult student. Had a few hurdles to get through with financial aid in order to enroll in classes. My financial aid advisor wasn't helpful. She made me feel as if she didn't care whether I got the issues resolved or not. I had to send her an email every single day just to make sure I didn't need to do anything further. She even told me I was waiting on my docs to be reviewed and it could take two weeks, so after waiting two weeks and not hearing from her, I sent her an email to find out what's going on and she responded letting me know my acct wasn't in review bc wsu had been waiting on more docs from me and it would be another two weeks before my financial aid was resolved. It took me almost two months to finish up my financial aid thanks to a negligent financial aid advisor. I just hope the instructors are better than this. Fingers crossed.

Enrolled in the A & P program. Financial aid was a little bit of a struggle at first, but I understand they must have been busy. My advice is to just go to the campus and talk to the advisors rather then call them. Now I have had an amazing experience in the A & P program. Teachers are all very knowledgeable. Of course there are some that aren’t good teachers but are good mechanics so it just takes alittle to get what they are trying to teach.

No wonder wsu tech has 3.2. i called to make an appointment for touring, and the lady told me she couldn't give a tour because i wasn't enrolled. Plus, it sounds like she was irritated and didn't want to talk . Its a shame i really wanted to study there
