I don't think anyone expected that employers would be beating down your door. It's a huge advantage just to be allowed to test and to be considered for a job! Just having the experience requirement waived is a lot!
There's no guarantee that the job(s) you ARE offered will be to your liking. If you won't accept them, you'll have to keep looking longer. You'll still have to work at making a go of the job.

did they guarantee job placement?
I have never heard of them before but the question of how much effort in placing you in a job should be stated in your paperwork. Can you ask for a list of employers where past graduates were placed and the percentage of graduates to employers? That would let you know where you stand with them and in the meantime ask them for resume assistance and start making applications on your own.
Good luck.
spare me - taking a MT course is not going to guarantee a job
can we skip the sell job here? She has experience, might need some QA with different work but certainly NOT a training course.
Okay, we believe you. We are also aware there is no guarantee any particular business is going to b
I suggest you research companies carefully before accepting employment. I could have taken a job with a brand new company a few years ago, but understanding the risk, I looked for something with a proven track record. That's still not a guarantee, and I am now leaving the company I'm working for because the current manager is so untalented that I am concerned about the expansion she is currently planning. I don't think she's up to the challenge, so I'm getting out before I get burned. Posting about her here won't convince anybody of what it's taken me years to be able to see by close observation.
Typing speed is no guarantee of success
as an MT. If you haven't had any MT training, you will fail rather spectacularly. Get some training. Get GOOD training, not some matchbook-cover school. Andrews, M-Tec, Career Step--those schools will provide the training that will get you a job. Don't try to cut corners with a cheap school. If you get the right training, and if you have the talent for the job, you will not lack for work.
