  I graduated from Lincoln Tech’s Electrical and Electronic Systems Technology program on April 16, 2026. My experience was mixed, but overall I would not recommend the program to someone whose goal is to become an electrician. The biggest issue I experienced was the lack of consistency. Some instructors genuinely cared about students and were very knowledgeable, while others were difficult to learn from and seemed uninterested in helping students succeed. The lead supervisor of the electrical department came across as very rude during my first few months. Although his attitude improved over time, his constant criticism without much guidance made me question whether I even wanted to continue attending. The front office was another major frustration. Communication often felt disorganized, and getting financial aid or administrative issues resolved could be a headache. Some staff members were helpful, while others were rude or passive-aggressive, which made an already stressful process even more difficult. Career Services was also disappointing. I received a job placement but lost it due to circumstances outside of my control shortly before graduation. I was told to report my placement a certain way, but I answered honestly because I was no longer employed there. After multiple phone calls and messages asking for help finding another opportunity, I never received a response. That left me feeling like the focus was on placement numbers rather than helping graduates find long-term employment. The hands-on training was one of the better parts of the program, but the quality of your education depends heavily on which instructor you get. Some modules felt productive, while others did not. In one module, I spent time cutting nails instead of learning electrical skills. The order of classes also didn’t make much sense for my schedule—I started in Module 103 instead of 101 because there wasn’t room, which made learning more difficult. I also felt the program leaned much more toward low-voltage systems, networking, CCTV, and security than traditional electrical work. Several instructors were excellent in those areas, but if your goal is residential or commercial electrical work, your experience may vary depending on who teaches your classes. I do want to recognize the instructors who made a positive impact. Mr. Shabazz, Charles, Mr. Sexton, and Mr. Ingram were knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely cared about helping students learn. They were the highlight of my experience. Overall, I would rate my experience around a 6.8-7/10. If you’re interested in low-voltage systems, networking, or security, this program may be worth considering. However, if your goal is to become an electrician, I recommend researching other trade schools and comparing their curriculum before enrolling.
