McFatter Technical College and High School — Attraction in Davie

Do not go there for the adult culinary programs. They basically treat you like you work for their cafeteria and teach you NOTHING. The instructors are unprofessional, abrasive, and treat the adult students like children. You will be working in groups with absolutely no instruction (hands-on or otherwise) and you may get lucky and be able to make a small part of the recipe since groups are 4-5 people, each group works on a different recipe, and you will be preparing foods for them to sell to their high school students. The instructor basically heads you a recipe and that’s the extent of your “learning” aside from lots of tedious book work that you also do on your own. You will not even be allowed to taste what you made since it will be sold to school children. The instructor told us if they cannot sell the product you make, you get a “failing” grade, despite zero instruction. When asked why we aren’t all individually participating in making recipes, the answer was that they couldn’t sell that many of one item. I thought I paid a good amount of money (out-of-pocket) for them to cover the cost so that I could make a recipe and not make one recipe with four other people. I got my money back and already had a high-paying career in risk management, but other students continued with the program in hopes of obtaining work in restaurants or increasing their pay. I feel this program takes advantage of the difficult situations these other students faced, many of whom paid with financial aid or GI Bills. Also, the recipes they provide are portioned for home baking or cooking, not commercial. Find something or somewhere better to go. When I voiced my complaints about the instructor’s brash behavior and unwillingness to teach so that she could stand around on her cell phone texting, there were many excuses given and not once was she held accountable. On the contrary, I was told that she actively taught the class once or twice after I left and she chastised the adult students for complaining and then reverted back to her McDonald’s/DMV level of professionalism. It’s terrifying to imagine that children are left alone with...

Save y’all time and money and go else where I was interested in there LPN program i called everyday for over two weeks and kept getting transferred to a voicemail it was so bad I had to went down there in person to speak to the person that’s in charge of that department it was a black African lady very nasty attitude name Rachel A Victor.

She kept going on and on to the point I felt uncomfortable and I said it’s ok am here now and I just want to get info how to get started she did ask for my email and send me an email but after that she started going on and on again about she never get any call or email as if am lie in to her.

If I could give this school zero stars, I would. This is one of the worst programs I've ever taken. The instructor is immature and slows down our class to talk about off-topic conversation. The school is super unorganized and cheap. And on top of that, they will use you as free labor for the school. I just literally paid to be a cafeteria lady. They will sell your work even if you paid for some of the ingredients. And don't dare voice your opinion, you'll be told to be quiet and get out of our school. Bully and retaliation from McFatter staff. I feel like they should be investigated for misappropriation of student funds. Running out of flour in the middle of our practicals. A broken oven, and a sink that has been broken for several weeks. The school and its culinary program are a mess. Don't waste your time. P.S. I'm editing this to add photos of my work and proof of their instructor's unprofessional behavior. After my complaint, this was the result. The school has not been remorseful or apologetic. This is the normal way for this college. If you're serious about culinary education don't go to this college. Unprofessional and ignorant staff. They never apologize for their instructor...
