I love Fortis!
Great experience there. Was able to complete my program in HVACR in less than a year (48 weeks) and received my EPA Universal license. the program is broken down into mods which is two classes for 6 weeks before you start the next mod. They have an HVAC lab where you can get used to the equipment and troubleshoot problems just like in the field. The teachers I've had were all great and very helpful. There was one teacher I didn't have that is questionable but since I haven't had him I can't say for sure. You also get a tool kit which is helpful when transitioning into the career. The offer day classes from 8am-12:30pm(Which I had) Monday through Thursdays and night classes which I believe is from 6pm-10:30pm (could be wrong). You sometimes do have to make up holidays on Fridays. You get a two week Christmas break and a 1 week summer break. I definitely would recommend Fortis to anyone pursuing a career in HVAC. To me this is the better option because unlike Midlands Tech you go to school 48 weeks instead of 2 1/2 years. You also don't take unnecessary classes at Fortis like you do at Tech. Definitely stop by and see what they are about.
They have instructors and leaders who are very prejudice and will do everything to bring a student down instead of helping students excel. Instructors who sit there and judge students without knowing a student. IT'S A 'NO' 'NO' GO TO SCHOOL. A word to the wise is enough.
Don't waste the money complete rip off!!! I am now I'm debt $20000. Thinking I was doing the right thing..come to find out all I was taught was minor trouble shooting abilities..nothing on duct work after getting epa certs only could find a job for 12 an hour due to lack of knowledge..recommend you start green and go pay for the test!!!save big $$$ and a lot of time!!!!
Financial Aid Department will lie and screw you over. I wasn't supposed to owe anything and now I owe over 14,000. Make sure you save all your paperwork if you dare sign up with them.
Please folks, it will be a terrible idea to enroll in this so called 'College' . Their passing rate is horrible. They keep losing their accreditation quite often. I wonder why they are allowed to operate and be ripping people off. This is a full profit setup mainly to make money and the only way they do it is to prey on innocent people like myself who wants nothing but a brighter future.
