Mr. Weston, we are sorry to read you perceive WTCs equipment and technology as being below standards. Each of our programs meet twice a year with their Program Advisory Committees to get input about the needs of the industry and to assure we are utilizing current tools, equipment, technology and practices. Zoom was not used as a substitute for hands-on training. As you know from your own experience, students in the final semester of their program were permitted back on campus last semester in order to complete their performance tasks. Industry certification tests (in programs of study where applicable) are required as part of a programs curriculum. Certification tests are not scheduled until such time as the student progresses to the applicable section of his or her program of study. Additionally, certification exam costs (as well as all costs of attendance including optional costs) are provided to the student at the time of enrollment.

I would not recommend this institution. Equipment is poorly maintained and not current technology. School treats Zoom time the same as hands on training. Required to pay for certification testing even if student does not need them, then WTC never schedules them and refuses to refund the fees. Go somewhere else.
Dear Ms. Ross: Thank you for your concern. The Florida Department of Education creates curriculum standards designed to prepare students for entry-level positions in the cosmetology industry. Further education including specialization takes place after licensure and employment and is done based on the professionals direction and need for training. The Cosmetology program at WTC is structured using the states curriculum standards to teach students the relevant knowledge and skills necessary to prepare for further education and careers in the industry. The program invites business partners from various aspects of the industry to be guest speakers so they can share information and experiences with the students. We are not aware of any community member being denied the opportunity to share their expertise. If you have any further concerns, please contact the college to schedule an appointment.

So I ended up quitting the Cosmetology program due to many of reasons that I feel derived from the fact that I approached the department heads and the instructors about doing my texture hair which is consider course in the text book not "Ethnic" as the instructors use. I was told by one instructor that doing my texture hair is a specialty and was even Pointed out within a discussion with a Salon owner which I found odd and indirect to say the least. As a African American there are certain products used such as oils that we should be able to use without being told that "Why buy the products when they are going to just sit on the shelf". Further more for my instructor to come up on me and tell me my hair looks "thirsty" was not a joking matter considering I washed my hair with shampoo that isn't for moisture of my texture hair nor is it provided in the salon. Majority of the women/girls were not of my texture hair and could get services done on their hair with no issue. It began a class off 4 African American students but one dropped the course due to one of the instructors asking the 2 to remove their dreadlocks to get their hair washed in which she denies. I sat before 2 department heads and my instructors to address my concerns as well as input from other students within the class and continued after it was uncomfortable feel in the class to the point I received a "0" on a assignment in which the directions were on the board which is not the then said instructions by the instructors. Clearly if any one of them did not know anything about care of course hair it should have been said. There have been a few in the community that have reached out to this school in the past to teach how to care for hair such as "Ethnic" and have been rejected. I am addressing a issue that is being looked over. Yes, I have ruined my financial aid but I felt like I needed to remove myself.
I will soon attend WTI to get my ged im 16 and I want to be a mid wife so I think this is a wonderful start for me im super excited to start there I think this will be great for my future and if anyone's wondering this is my sisters account my names is Emily.
Taking the GED classes is honestly a joke. Teacher doesn't teach if she does "teach" her answers are wrong. Pushes you when you aren't ready You ask for help sits you in front of a computer. Talks behind other students backs. Can't control her class. Underage students will wonder around for around 30 to 40 mins. Everyone talks or goofs off. When I signed up I was told "she's our best ged teacher" that's false. Might as well just do it on a computer at home.
