Berk Trade & Business School

"Shout-out to all the hard working instructors and office workers at Berk. Special thanks to Jose, he was very involved in helping my class, He was personal with us till graduation. Thanks Mr.Welsh for being such an enthusiastic teacher, We in the building!. Now lets talk business: This is a private family owned school, so profit is of the essence. The chances of you graduating are ~90% if you don't drop out, they're very forgiving so please be nice. Now, the chances of getting a job afterwards are a different story, add to that the low pay for a year of breaking your back. Getting hired is a whole new game of chance in this system, and its not guaranteed to have one after graduating. The school and teachers try to motivate you saying that you're in high demand and that companies are all over the school trying to hire us, but in reality its a sales-pitch for you to not default on your student loan. We were promised help to make our resumes and get job offerings weekly, but only our resumes were half baked. I've been looking for a job for the past 4 months alone, Which I can understand because I'm unable to acquire a license due to a vision disability, thus lowering my chances even more. I think the school should really work on logistics and communication. The workers are so overworked to the point I feel bad, specially Mr.V. The owner is pushy/demanding and has a bad temper, which are probably the reasons workers are replaced so often. Give workers a break, listen to their demands and put your greed away for a minute, hire them for what they were hired for, and don't expect them to work "harder" after a raise. And finally, don't promise things to us that we won't get, if you can't help us get a job then be honest and say it, its less stress on the school, and improves your reputation."

"I just recently graduated Berk Trade School this Winter, and when I first got there I wasn’t sure how I was gone Learn Electrical but sure enough I did. The instructors are great and Knowledgeable, my teacher Mr .Walsh was a excellent teacher who took his time and patients with the class and really cared if we learned or not. For a conclusion I’m glad I came to Berk Trade and I can absolutely say it was one of the best decision I made in my life."

"I had the worst experience in Berk in every type of way. One week before graduating staff came to the classroom, talked about interviews, and promised us a lot of offers, it's been two months and now they don't answer the phone when you try to reach out to them. There are always new staff members and that's their excuse for not getting us jobs. Don’t waste your Time and Money Attending this School! Join the Union, If I could give 0 stars I would!"

"The Berk Trade School is the best place to learn electrical. I highly recommend it if you want to change your career. The teachers have years of professional electrical experience background. The school projects are the same as you working in the field."
