OBC - Sheffield Village Campus — Local services in Sheffield

Update: So things seam to be getting better. We have better instructors on staff & the YouTube videos seam to have gone down to a minimum. They also seam to be trying to interrupt class much less, which is very helpful. Glad to see the college is listening to concerns of students and starting to make the necessary changes to provide the education the students deserve. Hopefully everything keeps going in the correct direction.

So last quarter we started with no tools. No explanation on why we had no tools, just that they were on order. This quarter we HAVE NO BOOKS!! I cannot speak about other courses, but the electrician training offered at OBC is a joke. Our instructor literally just shows us videos of people reading the book to us. Apparently they do not think people attending their school can read? These are videos that other colleges have put out to help with the covid pandemic or as part of their curriculum. These videos are from YouTube & loaded with ads as well. We then have to do homework and since our instructor has not taught us anything, we have no idea what the questions are talking about. I do not even know where to begin when I read homework questions. I think, if I only had a book to refer to I could do so much better. This course is beyond frustrating because I actually want to learn but I am not being taught. Yes the class size is smallish, but there is non stop interruption from other staff members and other students in the building. When another instructor or staff member walks into our class they have a conversation with our instructor which disables our ability to clearly hear the video that is playing but nobody seems to care. This is on top of the hammering sawing & drilling from other rooms. If you want to waste money and not learn anything this program at Ohio Business College is...

the structures are very well knowledgeable I did electricians program. after completing it and looking for jobs on people have questioned why did I even go to the school it's not accredited by the nccr they don't have an apprenticeship program and at the end what you receive is a diploma in electrical applications why you do learn how to be an electrician 9 months isn't enough time for most individuals for what I've seen to be able to grasp all that knowledge fully on top of it it's not going to help you with the Union that you will still have to do the aptitude test for the Union you don't get certified in the end it is a diploma chances are you already received a diploma through high school or your GED for your general education so the only difference would really be that it's at a college level but a lot of times I get looked at as an apprentice or like I don't have any experience and it's hard if you don't have that experience on your resume already or if you don't have a family member who can basically pick you up after school and apprentice you properly I mean you're going to strugglewhat getting a job and working so I would honestly say you need to think this out fully like if you're an electrician and this is your first year it would be great to happen to a school like this to start boosting your knowledge but if you just joined the union they will literally pay you to learn the...

I did the HVAC program and the teachers are great and want to help you learn but the administration will constantly call you about making payments and getting a loan so they can get their money right away. Greg will just ignore your emails as well. They’re trying to set up a good HVAC program but their main goal is getting money, not giving value. They don’t actually have job placement like promised. You’re better off getting an apprenticeship. If the company likes you, they’ll pay for your 608 certification and help you get tools you need. HVAC program definitely...
