  My experience at Lincoln Tech was one of the most disappointing and frustrating educational experiences I have ever had. Instead of feeling supported, guided, and prepared for success, I often felt singled out and unfairly treated. As a Black student, there were times when I genuinely felt targeted rather than helped. Instead of receiving constructive guidance, it felt like certain instructors focused more on criticizing and disciplining students than actually teaching and mentoring them. The environment did not always feel inclusive or supportive, and that made it difficult to focus on learning. There was a strong sense of power imbalance. Authority was often used in ways that felt intimidating rather than encouraging. Instead of empowering students to grow professionally, some staff members seemed more focused on control. When concerns were raised, they were not always handled with the professionalism and respect that adult students deserve. We are adults investing our hard-earned money into our education. We should be treated as such. Unfortunately, the atmosphere often felt more like being talked down to rather than being respected as future professionals. Education should build confidence, skills, and opportunity. In my experience, the environment at Lincoln Tech did not consistently reflect those values. I would strongly advise anyone considering enrolling to thoroughly research the school, speak with former students, and carefully evaluate whether this is the right investment for you. Do not waste your money without fully understanding what you may be walking into.

  Thought this would be a great school for my son to go to . Everything seemed to be going good until . He started having trouble with his financial aid , we received phone calls every day about it . My husband and i completed everything we were told to do and that still wasn’t enough . The staff in the office haven’t returned any phone calls , emails or even texts about this situation ! Today my son woke up to an email stating if he doesn’t complete the work, today will be his last day . But since Jan 6 they haven’t let him come into the class to even do any work . This is supposed to be a hands on classroom experience . Oh and I forgot to mention that most of the students they get just graduated high school and for the financial aid department to catch attitudes when a student comes in their office asking questions is VERY unprofessional. They are babies going into the real world so the least they can do is be patient with them and help them understand.

  I would like to say a lot about this school. But most of that would probably cause this review to get taken down. To sum it all up, this school is incompetent. The teachers for the most part are incompetent, financial aid, the business department, all incompetent. I received very little hands on which was promised to me by my admissions advisor (who is basically just a salesman anyway actually). The homework that was assigned was poorly presented and uninformative. Several classes consisted of just sitting there doing nothing while the instructor did nothing as well. Instructors were not well prepared for classes. The little hands on learning I received was very poor as they were cram 5-6 people on a one person project expecting everyone to do it and learn something within a short time period. The whole school was unprofessional. I was called an S.O.B by my instructor (I’m not necessarily offended by it, but how unprofessional is that to curse at your student like that?). Another instructor forced me against my will to bring my car in several times for labs (the school had over 10 lab vehicles they could have used) resulting in my car coincidentally breaking down after bringing it into class and my classmates and instructor messing around with it. But apparently I signed a form at the beginning of school saying that I was required to bring my car in for labs if told to and no one was responsible for damage done to it even if they caused it. Talk about absolute bull crap. So I was left without a vehicle for a while due to that form and an incompetent instructor. I could go further but I won’t. This review is long enough already. Also, the cost of tuition, $40,000 just for a stupid diploma that I actually informed I had to pay extra for to actually receive it. Unless I wanted to spend an extra $4000-$10,000 more to get the associates degree they offer. Compare this to Ivy Tech that gives you an associates degree in automotive technology and shop management for only $10,000. Should’ve gone to Ivy Tech. On top of all of this, no one’s absolutely NO ONE has gotten back with any of my phone calls, emails, text messages or anything. I have been having issues with my financial aid and billing and what not, and want confirmation on some things and I have sent emails from both my personal and school email accounts and no one has responded, I made phone calls and no one responds so I left messages and no one returns my calls. INCOMPETENT. I even tried going in person several times and every time I was either told “oh we’ll figure it out” and they wouldn’t actually help me or do anything or I’d be redirected somewhere else that was even less helpful. If you go on a tour or apply for the school, they’ll be really nice and helpful at first, they’ll make it seem like a good experience, but once you start, it’s a nightmare. Don’t waste your time. Don’t waste your money. Don’t waste your life with Lincoln Tech. And if the school sees this and knows who it’s from and would like to contact me because of this review, feel free to contact me with a phone call or get back with my emails I’ve been sending nonstop. Might make me consider bumping you to two stars instead of one.
