Moore Tech - Memphis, Tennessee

Moore Tech has so much to offer. The program I can speak directly of is Machining. The machining program has very dedicated, knowledgeable instructors that assure students get hands on experience in addition to a verbal/written lecture. The school takes pride in students developing into valued members of the Machining community. Instructors are often able to assist students in getting Machining jobs even before graduation.

One important rule they follow is making you accountable for your attendance. The instructors enforce the attendance policy which 1) helps prepare you for the real world and 2) assures that you're not just passing through the classes only learning pieces of parts of the skills.

The classes are small which allows for a more personal learning experience. The instructors are available for mentoring even after graduation.

Many people forget that a technical college experience is an option, which is nice to remember because Universities are not for everyone. There's money to be made & learning a trade is a great way to earn it!

The student mix is diverse, ranging from fresh out of highschool to people that have been in the trade for years and just need more training. The class schedules also allow for those working during the day to come in the evenings.

The graduation is a full blown event with caps, tassel, and a ceremony. The employees at Moore Tech want you to succeed and will become like a family when you're a student.

Many business owners and leaders are on their Board and are proud to support Moore Tech. They know what they're doing. Classes have been in session since 1939!

I've been in school here for almost 2 years, and the teachers are quite good at teaching and very knowledgeable about the skills in which they are teaching. They can get good students jobs in their field often times before graduation. The building is a bit old, but the equipment is less than 5 years old, and being upgraded every few years.

Personally I am in the welding program. I am quite fortunate to be at Moore Tech because I was unfortunately enrolled at another similar college, which I will not mention, and I'm most certainly felt as though I was missing out on a lot of information. That in conjunction with their overall unprofessionalism forced me to look for similar programs. From the minute I spoke to the operator, throughout my transactions with financial aid, and into the programs professional atmosphere offered by the instructors, I cannot say enough about Moore Tech and how it has changed my life. If you are serious about a life change/career change this is the place for you. You will feel right at home. You Will learn as much as you want to from the instructors who are more than knowledgeable and professional.

I attended Moore tech from '17-18 for industrial electricity. That dept. is a mess. Junk everywhere. The instructor would go on rants insulting the students and refusing to teach on most occasions. I reported his behavior and lack of professionalism to the Dean and nothing was accomplished. I complained to the Dean about a lack of equipment and resources to work on. He told me he's "doing his best and that money from a Fedex partnership was coming soon." I visited the school a few months ago to see if the changes took place...NOPE. The dept was still junky and the equipment is outdated by DECADES. When I was still there, I posted a review of the school(pictures included) and the Dean called me to his office to "strongly urge" me to remove my post. I did temporarily because I feared the retaliation of him urging instructors to fail me without justification. This is not a reflection of the other programs though. Machining was awesome and the instructors were extremely helpful and willing to assist you. Eric, Mark, and another gentleman with the big beard in Machining. They're professionals.

They don't really do what they say they are going to do. My son was promised to be fully trained and know everything there was to know about Auto Mechanics. Not to mention he would be ASE certified. After working for 3 years now he is still not certified he is only an Oil and lube tech. Do not waste your time or money. My son to get a job somewhere else but has not had any luck since they want a certification.

Outstanding technical career training in Memphis, TN; has provided important vocational training to tens of thousands of students throughout the Mid-South for hands-on jobs with quality companies since 1939. The graduate placement rate is strong, the current reputation is positive, financial aid is available, and the current school leadership landing new employment relationships and career opportunities for today's grads. The college recently enhanced the curriculum and the physical plant to meet new marketplace demands. Changes are ongoing (Auto Tech, machining, welding, plumbing, electrical, HVAC, property maintenance), all designed to deliver top-caliber technical training by strong instructors. Both day and night classes offered. It's a real school, not a for-profit "tech school business."

Horrible… the staff uses intimidation and empty threats to scare people into submission. Be careful going here the administration constantly threatens to kick people out of school. Even off of hearsay. More corrupt than the MPD
