Summit College - El Cajon Campus

"So am I currently taking the electrical program and after completing 6 months its been going pretty well once we switched over to the advanced classes as the teacher puts more effort than the one before. I have learned things I wouldnt have on my own and always gives us good points on what we can improve. Sebastian is a honest instructor that if you pay attention youll actually learn things. Even with these bad reviews I went on my own experience and rate it good ! I cant wait to start working in the field ! -- Current Student"

"My experience in the electrical program has mix feeling. In the beginning course you do learn some electrical work but with the current instructor it's very rare. It wasn't till I moved to the advanced course with Sebastian that I started to understand electrical work. He offers students extra help if needed even if you already graduated. Because of his teaching I was able to leave school confident in myself to work in the trade."

"The school has made major changes to staff and instructors in attempt to bring the quality of learning up to the highest standards. Two new instructors in electrical have stepped up the quality of lectures and actual labs. Many labs with instructors in the lab working my with each student. 100% improvement form a few months ago."

"The school experience has been great. The teachers are well versed and help out with whatever you need and do fantastic demos. Maria from admissions has been a huuuuuge help! Best in admissions! Highly recommend the welding program at this school."

"Do not attend this school for the Electrician program. It seems temping because you can complete the course in 9 months and start working but it is not worth it. The teachers barely have any field experience and they don't understand the trade or how to teach it. Not mention they are constantly switching out “instructors.“ There is nothing this class has to offer that you can't learn on your own online. Also, some employers do not consider this to be a real education and the Electrical Trainee card they promise you after 2 months takes them forever to get for you (I had to wait 9 months). They say they help you with job placement but they only find low paying jobs. Compared to an apprenticeship, this is a complete waste of time/money and an apprenticeship is worth the wait. Myself and a majority of my classmates at the time feel this way. Just trying to save someone else from going through what I went through since I dont see a lot of people talking about the electrical program."
