I did not enjoy my experience here. My classroom was to crowded and I did not get the attention and assistance I needed. I learned way more on my job than I did in school. It was a waste of my money
Your better off just joining a union and they will pay you to go to school and not waste money on gen ed classes that are not needed. RANKEN IS A WASTE OF MONEY. Go to a real college or join a union
Do you like strict dress codes? Teachers touching your face to see if you shaved like they wanted? 50 students and one teacher? Your teacher being almost as old as you? (He was 26 teaching automotive brakes... No experience.) Well Ranken Technical is for you! Seriously contact me before you pay for this over priced "school".
Do yourself a favor and go to SAM Tech. Do not go here. Mismanaged. A bunch of lies. Went there for HPRT and dropped the second week of my 3rd semester. First semester I never touched an actual car. Did goofy things like test thermostats in boiling water. Waste of my time and money. Stayed optimistic and went onto my second semester for Engine Machining. We learned how to take a 295hp 5.3 to a 500HP 5.7. Class was overbooked, professor was a stand-in but knew what he was doing. 0 students finished their engines. I complained to the administration about the lack of skills I learned and how No one finished engines and was offered a summer job to finish my engine and learn some more. I shouldnt have to come back in the summer to get the education I was supposed to get during class hours. I took the job and made the best of it. Went to my 3rd semester and couldn't do it. Biggest waste of my time. They destroyed a super-flo dyno. And by destroy I mean the thing was in pieces. It exploded. Blamed it on old flywheel but plenty of 12 year old flywheels in 500whp cars dont go blowing up and killing people. Ranken owns a TurboTrans am and a chasis dyno. The 2 never get used and it wasnt until last year that the dyno was fixed. We have flow benches that never get used. A Rotler boring machine thats been waiting to be hooked up for several months now. You only use a carb and Holley EFI. They ordered a blower, had it chromed, and never taught students how to tune for boost. Commanding for 100% injector duty cycle and only getting 8%. Going on 2 years that the instructor cant fix this and robbing kids of their money and experience. You should be able to at least write a tune and you wont be able to do that leaving Ranken. 3 classes have gone through Don Rotes tuning class and learned nothing. It was so bad we had to hire Shane A. Hind and Ahmed Habibi from Habibi Motorsports to teach seminars on tuning to fill in the gaps. Extremely strict on dress code, beard, haircuts, and so much else that it takes away from class time and actual learning. 2018 is their audit year so you cant miss class or homework. You could pass a class with 100% homework and test grades but fail work ethic by 1 point and you will have to repeat the class. What sense does that make? You, your family, and your kids should never go here. P.s Hilterbrand...if youre as smart as you say you are youd bring R.S. back.
No question, this is my my Alma mater, and I've got nothing but love and respect. Curriculum is not for the lite hearted - if you come here playing you won't make it.Ranken is the only school I've heard of that actually grades you on your work ethic - I just wish more females attended, Lol.I graduated in 2012 and I was my education everyday.
