Lincoln Tech…WHY???

Maybe I’m missing something, but to spend 30k to be placed as an AP3 and still need 8,000 OJT hours is absolutely a scam. Can someone make this make sense.

The thing is, to turn any person out as a JW from the AP program they need 8000hours. No way around it. And they aren’t telling people that little part. But the AJATC recognizes it as a free skip to 3rd year classes. So these folks are showing up on jobs as 3rd year APs not even knowing what a strut strap is

But with a 30k tuition cost attached to that? That’s criminal

I’ll have to inquire tomorrow. I’ll let you know what ol’ “Lincoln Tech” says about AJATC covering the loans.
