Southern California Regional Occupational Center

Well I'd like to leave this review sorta short.
I attended the Automotive class at Scroc, which I finished and got a dream job as a mechanic.

Classes were affordable and got a decent training for what I paid for. Mr Lee is an awesome teacher. He does everything in his power to help you learn. Which I'd give 5 stars for! Made great friends there and lifetime memories.

I was thinking to improve my skills taking a Welding class (to be able to fabricate at my shop and being able to do versatile projects.)
The welding teacher the school used to have previously I heard was great but he left. Since school couldn't find an instructor, they called a retired teacher back. The way he teaches is outdated, explanations aren't clear to learn. He was mostly on his computer and we used the equipment to learn nothing else.

I had "younger" students coming up to me in the parking lot asking if they should drop the class, and what do I suggest.if I dared to question the teacher he told me that; He knows his students and pretty much indicated that I'm not willing to learn. Seriously?

After 5 weeks I dropped the class because it felt like a waste of time. Refund policy is only 1day! So be aware, no partial refunds! Which I could've used to buy a welder and learn myself. Eventually I will learn at work.
Not to mention some of the welding booths the table rattles because of the fan.

Automotive class 5 star
Welding class 1 star. I hope they will change the refund policy for student. But I think of my money as donation to the school. It's more like my free time was wasted, I could've worked instead. But he know us the students. Sure.

School contacted me and offer a solution I just don't have time to go back and take classes. Thank you so much Scroc! I changed it to 5 stars. I just leave this as a story here.
