I give them 2 stars instead of 1 because it was clean and they had name brand soap in the bathroom, so it could have been worse. Aside from that, everything about this place is a scam. Don't waste your money on the application fee, ordering transcripts, and driving there to do tests and interviews. I scored well on both and they told me my name would be put on a waiting list. They also don't give you any information about your position on this list and say they MIGHT call you WITHIN A YEAR. As far as I can tell this place only exists to limit the number of electricians. Their goal is to drive down the supply of labor and make more money. That would be a great deal if you were part of their exclusive club, but for anyone looking to get into this profession they're just gonna make you jump through hoops and waste your time and money.
The initial study guide the JATC gives applicants for the math portion of their entrance test is NOT like the actual test. The actual test includes much, much, more difficult math such as: reading and analyzing tables multiple versions of this, graphs, sequences, factoring expressions with multiple variables, analyzing literal equations and hybrid order of operation problems that involve evaluation. As someone who helped a student pass the test, I would highly recommend you start studying a solid month before the test and use a test prep program that is specifically geared toward Electrical IBEW Aptitude.
I want to start with the good. As I was applying, the people there were extremely nice and very helpful. Good environment for sure. I give this a 3 for the negative... The negative. I want to explain where I come from so the negative makes sense. I use to be a mechanic. I'm very mechanicaly inclined. I am now a respiratory practitioner by trade. I was trying to leave the medical field for many reasons for a different topic and different time. I had to take college algebra math for my courses and degree.I even use basic algebra for my ventilators I run. When they give you a packet from them saying they only need basic algebra, don't study basic algebra. I studied college level algebra just incase. That way the test would be easier. I get in there and they were using algebra NOT in their study guide or remotely even basic algebra. It was higher than college algebra 2. They said nothing about square roots but there they were mixed in with college algebra 2. I can see why 1/3 of the people taking the test for the entrance exam were there a second time. I'd have no issue doing it again but I'm not waiting six months. That is insane. I know that is JATC and not this places fault. I don't know who is at fault for a terrible study guide but they need fired. I took one of the hardest medical boards in the country. That test there was a slap in the face. A set up for failure if a young man or woman who doesn't want to go to college is trying to get in. They clearly won't be doing college algebra 2 before that exam, if they only took high school.
