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.

There's never a guarantee!
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.


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.
Job placement
Just wanted to know if anyone has been hired by a company after finishing a MT course, but never passed their final exam. 
job placement
Susan and Kathy are always available to answer your questions or help with anything that you need. Their contact info (emails and phone numbers) are on the M-Tec website. Susan personally recommended me for the job that I was offered after graduation. Go ahead and give them a call. Also make sure they have your correct e-mail address as they send out e-mails to grads with current job openings.
They don't do placement because they can't.
Most companies will not hire grads from that school because the training is not good enough and they know it.
Job Placement w/Mtec
Hi Everyone!

I am considering taking the Tier 1 M-Tec course but would like to hear about their job placement rate before I sign up. Is it all that it claims to be? Any suggestions or info would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

I do MT placement and I have more jobs for MTs than ever before
I'm beginning to wonder if there might be a large segment of MTs on this board right now who are not in the top group as far as performance and education. I'm shocked to see what some of you are claiming that you are making. I haven't seen income that low in any of the people I've been placing.
Career Step placement
Yes,
I know for a fact that Career Step offers job placement assistance. There are several options available to you. I was hired with 24 hours of receiving my test results with one of the largest employers out there. I highly recommend Career Step. I'd be happy to tell you more if you'd like to email me.
The college should help with job placement, but most companies
will not accept wireless or dial-up.  You can dump Vista and put XP on your computer so that isn't an issue.  You may need to look at trying to get a job locally in an office. 
Contact your school for job placement assistance. NM

100% placement rate is like guaranteeing you a job when you finish.
NO reputable school would do that.

They are also frowned upon because they use/used their students to spam all over the internet about their school. WAHM message board actually deleted the MT area because of them.
Penn Foster & PCDI can't help with job placement because it's too hard to find jobs for their
Not being mean, just honest. There's a reason they won't help with placement. They take your money for their course and don't care if you can get a job afterwards or not. And most people can't, because they are not trained well enough by those courses.
