Tom P Haney Technical College - Panama City, Florida

This school is not the place for people who aren’t willing to give it their all! You have to want it to get it. Don’t apply for this school thinking you’re gonna sit in a classroom the whole time playing on chrome-books. This school gives many people great opportunities to make something of themselves. Don’t leave bad reviews because you can meet the school’s expectations. This school is just as professional as most jobs and is preparing you for your future simple as that. If you can’t bow down to authority don’t waist your time because any job you get outside of the school will require that.

During my 45 weeks in the LPN program at Haney the Director of Nursing quit, our best instructor resigned, and one instructor was fired. The quality of the workplace directly affects the quality of education you will receive (or lack thereof). I highly recommend saving yourself the trouble and applying at Gulf Coast.

This school is a joke. Not only do they treat you like toddlers but they also have absolutely 0 communication with their students. They told me 3 weeks ago to come back to schedule my test after the Fourth of July. I came back today and now they’ve turned me away from taking a test that I’ve already paid for due to “admin changing their minds, no one else is allowed to test this summer”. I’ve got a half a mind to withdraw from this school and move to a different A&P school to finish. These admin need to remember who is paying them. We as students pay their salaries and pay them to teach us. Pathetic

Took a test here today …very weird how instructor in 142 talked to us. We are not children ….luckily I gave a funny attitude back 🙂 the whole cell phone in lockers is weird asf ? so glad I’m not enrolled here.

The school gets one, Angela Reese gets zero.

Angela Reese, the director, attempted to have a disabled veteran, me, expelled from the program for exercising the right to remove myself from an escalated situation in a class room. She almost simultaneously effected a law suit against the school board and terminated her employment with the school board, but would not concede her error until the superintendent intervened. She only escaped her fate due to the wisdom and humility of her superior. I hope she thanks him every day for this.

Absolutely horrible staff & pointless rules. They act as if their school is a prestigious place to study however it’s quite the opposite. Absolutely NO ONE will ever say “Wow, You graduated from Haney?! Here’s a job “ ? They desperately need to lower their expectations of their students as the students have been forced to lower their standard of a “quality education”. Students are also treated as less then and the school basically equates to a secondary school that misfits and troubled teens are sent to. DO NOT Use your GI Bill or any educational benefits here ! Try Gulf Coast or anywhere else. Online Classes would be a much better option than this “school”.

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 attend college.

So far my experience in massage therapy has had a lot of ups and downs honestly I felt discouraged since day one by the instructor Lee Thompson the administration is great but unfortunately this is the only course with no exceptions for time discrepancy and your time does not restart at the beginning of the second semester also the course is drawn out when floridas requirement course hours for massage therapy is 500 but this course is 750 and you can only miss 24hrs of class time for the entire course and you only get a 30 minute lunch which means bring your lunch to school or your hours will rack up I hope the future instructor for this course does way better than the current he’s incredibly rude and sassy to multiple students so just a heads up! And for this it’s a NO for me.
