what our grads have to say

“J-Tech is literally one of the best decisions I made when I decided to go back to school. With the education that they offered and the push for me to do things that I don't like to do to help better me in my career path now... It was a life changer, it was a good decision to come here.”

Myrna VasquezAutomotive Technology

"I decided to go to J-Tech because when I toured the school and saw they had all the latest and greatest gadgets and all the best technology at the time. If you are interested in going to J-Tech, don't sit and wait to think about it, just go. Everyone here is welcoming and will help you out."

Evan AndrewsDiesel Technology

“I exited the military in 2014. My return home did not allow me ample time to prepare for civilian life. I faced some difficult roads when I started my school search and trying to get the financial side covered. But once I got to J-Tech it was totally different. They helped me along the whole entire process. I never had a hiccup.”
