Lincoln Tech's Mahwah campus is now enrolling students for future starts. In 1948, Lincoln became one of the first trade schools to offer Automotive Transmission Servicing and Repair training after opening as a Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) school in 1946. Today, the Lincoln Tech Mahwah campus continues that tradition, offering hands-on training for careers in Automotive Technology and Skilled Trades such as HVAC, Electronic Systems Technology , and Welding Technology.

Me and my friend joined the Hvacr program together, at first we were a little hesitant but Mr.V made everything so much better, we really loved the way he teaches, and is always willing to help his students understand and work on labs. Hopefully someday we can reunite with him in the future. :)
What an absolute bait and switch! I entered this school in September with hopes of truly learning everything I could regarding electrical systems. So far I have been met with instructors who only seem to care about residential wiring and nothing more. There is very little attempt by instructors to encourage students to participate in class. The syllabus that is given for each class section is solely for computer work, which, if you have a family and a full time job, the only time to get it done is during class, which leads to very little time to do actual practical work. On top of that the class topics are not even mentioned or discussed by the teachers, and if they are it is brief, stating we’d never need to know this. If all I was going to be working on was residential wiring, I would have went to an adult evening school for a fraction of the price. For $30,000 I expected more. Including teachers that stayed for their contractual amount of time and didn’t leave before class ended. The school pushed for attendance, but can’t keep the students, myself included, engaged. For everything I grew up thinking Lincoln Tech was it is falling completely short. I did not anticipate teachers sitting in front of the classroom on THEIR phones, or surfing the internet with no engagement whatsoever. I am highly disappointed in this institution. The school is merely interested in taking your money and providing substandard education. I cannot in good conscience and will NEVER recommend this school to anyone looking to further their education in the trades. Look elsewhere and save your money.
I completely gave up on trying to find a electricians job. I do appreciate the student services for attempting to find me a job. But it's worthless on interviews, as they ask you to perform the very basics and you can't. Because my class was never taught. I re read similar posts, and they are all true. It is a 30k paperweight. It is NOTHING that is advertised, and I'd suggest they re staff a lot of people. As there were no practicals and a bunch of nonsense on the computer. It honestly turned me off with the field of work as I feel cheated by this school. I work with glass now, so if you have no electrical experience prior to going to this school. Bypass and go elsewhere.
What a joke, I enrolled my son in Lincoln Tech's automotive program with high hopes, but our experience has been deeply disappointing. The program lacks a structured curriculum and offers minimal hands-on training, which is crucial in this field.
Just a few weeks into the program, my son reported that classes were frequently cut short, often ending after just an hour. Considering the time, it took for him to commute, this was incredibly frustrating. On the rare occasions when classes did run for their full duration, the teaching approach was ineffective. Teachers often spent the entire session focusing on one student's personal car issue, leaving the rest of the class without any meaningful instruction.
The lack of proper teaching has a significant impact. The premise of needing a degree for job placement falls flat if the students aren't equipped with the necessary hands-on skills. Without these skills, graduates are at risk of either losing their jobs or being confined to low-paying, basic tasks like tire changes and oil services.
At the start I reached out to the school director and other members, including Nick Lombardi and Robert Matarazzo, to express my concerns. While they were polite, their responses did not lead to any effective changes in the program.
I am sharing this review to inform potential students and parents about our experience. It's crucial to have a comprehensive and practical learning experience in automotive training, and unfortunately, Lincoln Tech's program did not meet these expectations.

School is very unprofessional waste of time and money do yourself a favor don’t come here you can clearly see all the negative reviews outweighs the good reviews. Teachers are sitting half of the time. They barely provide any hands on it’s Mainly book work. Feels more like a daycare where the teachers are just babysitting us. And who ever says this place is good must be delusional.
I came to the school not knowing what to do or who to talk to and Nicole was able to help me understand everything I had to do when my classes would be and just made my life a whole lot easier I’m really grateful to her for everything honestly don’t know what I would do with out her
been a week since the school started, we come here to get in hands on practice and we can’t because they haven’t order our tools out of our 30k tuition. we just sit in the classroom and look at a computer instead of being able to practice.
Recently enrolled in the electrical program after 3 months of school I was told I didn’t qualify for the loan program after being told I did then I was told I have to pay out of pocket so I was able to get the difference of money together so I can pay . Then when I went to pay I was told that they made a mistake and the amount was wrong this is a horrible experience watch out for this school very disorganized do not enroll in this school for your own good. Wasted three months for nothing
