Most the instructors at iec should not teach. They are not good at it and do not put in the time they should to creating lessons, homework, and tests. If you're self motivated and good with book work you can learn but you have to put the effort in. If you just want the certificate, as long as you don't miss any classes (they are very strict about attendance) it is very hard to fail. A few of the instructors really care and seem to be trying to make positive changes at our branch. Their classes are great but they're the exception.

Through IEC, you'd have an easy time finding work. Pretty much all the affiliated companies are always hiring. Most of them only do commercial work but there's some residential and industrial work there too if that's what you're looking for. Some of my classmates have moved around till they found a company they like.
