Tom P Haney Technical College — Local services in Lynn Haven

This is NOT a college. This is a kindergarten. This “school” is not fully accredited. Financial aid is not complete and most financial aid is unavailable.

The administration attempts daily to take away all phones from enrollees, and lock them in a cell phone locker for the entirety of the school day (6:30am to 3pm). Regardless of emergency needs, access to information regarding children, or whether or not anyone uses or has used a phone in a disruptive way.

There is a clocking system requiring a badge to clock in and out, which is fine, only that the administration insists on continuously monitoring students attendance to the ridiculous extent where the time clock becomes moot. There is a policy that if a student is 1 second over the beginning of instruction, there is a punishment waiting time of two hours, which is deducted from the amount of time allowed to be missed (which for some programs is 25 hours maximum). This time limit does not allow for illness or medical issues regardless of doctors notes or disabilities. The student is simply removed from whichever program they are enrolled in.

Although (over-priced) snacks and vending abound here, enrollees are never allowed to have the items they have purchased in the classroom, let alone consume them during any time between 6:30am and 3pm, except for a 30 minute time window for a very short lunch break.

The rules do not apply to the programs equally. The aviation program is held under a more vicious scrutiny than any other, regarding all of these rules.

Administration and staff are allowed their cell phones and any food and beverage they choose, in any location of the property, at any time they choose. All employees of the school are allowed to wander the halls at their leisure, while the enrollees are treated like prisoners.

This IS NOT a school for people who have any medical issues, disabilities, children, or those who are subject to unforeseen things that life may throw at them. Any individuals over 12 years of age would be better suited at a fully accredited college which treats their students after a fashion indicative of adults paying to...

While the computer course is a great course, the teacher will call the administrators for something so little as if he doesn't like a private conversation you are having. He needs to grow a backbone and deal with things himself before jumping the gun like that. He doesnt realize that he has students at different levels of knowledge, some with no knowledge, and speaks to them like they are engineers from Google and when he does answer your question he rambles on and on and overloads you with pointless info. Good guy but bad teacher for beginners

We didn't have the access to half the material we needed to study due to restriction but instead of making sure everything worked before school, we had to sit there and waste our time and get behind while the teacher sat on the phone trying to find the right person to fix the problems

The facilities are a joke. It may look nice from the outside the inside it like stepping into a bad 70s movie. When you enter the building it smells like sweat and pea because the bathrooms are old and seem to be never cleaned just like the class room. The ac keeps going out and for a computer class surrounded by servers it gets unbearable and can ruin...

two stars because the school is limited by the school board of baycounty which means Extremely restricted internet , and the classes like aviation are very limited due to the avil tools to the school , which is scary power plant has been through 4 instructors this year not the fault of the class but the avil. proper resources that are not avil. the class needs , now onto the staff, well there are good and very bad ones .. class side the instructors that stick around and very helpfull and freindly , up in the media center they are the same but when u start geting around to the admin side the story turns ... there is two ladies that are hell bent on making life here hell it seems always trying to get involed with things they probly shouldnt and enforcing rules that dont apply to them . the principle and assistant are level headed from what I seen. and to add to this bay district schools often interfere with a fedral programs like aviation do to being a school system there for the needed hours u need often get pushed back due to some non existing hurricane that closes down other...
