Bridgerland Technical College - Logan Campus — Local services in Logan

Went from IT bro to IT pro

I got the Information Technology certificate from here earlier this year and it definitely pointed me in the right direction and gave me motivation and a space to get industry certs as well. It was hard to go in and do your work sometimes because life's life but the instructors were really understanding and good at helping you succeed here to finish the program, Trent and Miles were especially helpful and good resources for me.

If you're trying to land your first IT job this is the program to do especially if you do the Comptia cert. test prep courses along the way and pass a couple of those. I wouldn't say this is the only schooling you need to go far in IT but it's a great start and has opened a lot of doors for me.

I was able to get an IT job right after I passed the A+ test here while still doing the Bridgerland program and have had no issue finding an IT job since then. However if you want to be paid what you're worth after you finish the program moving out of Logan is key lol.

I feel like some people get discouraged in the thick of it because it's A LOT of videos and information to take in, but if you're motivated and can learn to stay awake and pump it out it's well worth the time/energy/money investment.

The only negative thing I have to say is I wish they put a greater emphasis on AWS and Azure. Both are heavily used in almost every company today and I knew very little about them when I entered the real world.

Microsoft has a lot of smaller certs that you can put together to form a bigger Microsoft cert and it would be cool if in the required courses you had to do one or two of those to push you to get a higher level Microsoft cert, and maybe learn a bit about cloud computing...

I’ve thought about my experiences at Bridgerland for plenty of years now. Honestly the academic department was fine. They helped Tutor me so that I could achieve my GED.

That’s the only reason for a star. My experience in the culinary department however was hands down awful!

When you walk in on the first day to be told that women have no business in the kitchen or to be told that your “instructor” hates teaching, doesn’t set a very positive tone. For a full year I dealt with a man who had no manners no patience and no teaching skills what so ever. In fact after he angrily grabbed my shoulders for a “mistake” I didn’t know I’d made due to lack of information! I never felt comfortable in class again. And that wasn’t the worst thing. Being yelled at every day for mistakes I didn’t even make (and at times the mistakes were his own) not being allowed to defend myself for his temper and being told by the other instructor that I should know more than I did after not being taught was enough to very nearly destroy any desire I had for learning ever again.

He had no problem calling me a liar for things I later proved him wrong on and did his best to make myself and others feel like trash on a daily basis. I’m disgusted to see that he’s still head of the culinary department. Honestly they need new culinary instructors in there who actually know how to teach AND inspire not strike fear or damage one’s emotions desires or anything else. Seriously chewing out an autistic teen for a half hour over a mistake anyone could make? Please go to anger...

Hypocrisy is very prominent within the Interior Design course at Bridgerland. The instructors expect perfection. It says that on the rubric of multiple assignments. I wouldn’t have a problem with this if they could display perfection themselves. I have found mistakes that I had to bring to their attention so they could correct it. Their response was: “It looks like the assignment was not updated.” Obviously this was just a simple mistake, but DON'T EXPECT PERFECTION IF YOU CAN'T BE PERFECT YOURSELF. Their policy with their dress code is another instance of hypocrisy. They have a strict business casual, which makes sense. As an interior designer, I believe you should be dressed nice. “Plan on wearing clothing you would wear to an interview.” are the words an instructor told me. So I came to class in my business casual attire and multiple instructors were wearing pants with holes in them. Seems extremely hypocritical to me. This is just the beginning of the issues I saw with this course, but to wrap it up, there are a considerable number of flaws in this course. The Interior Design program at Bridgerland was not worth it for me and does not seem like...
