The graduation rate value includes only programs that were completed less than six years for four-year degrees or less than three years for two-year degrees.
Graduation rate is the percentage of institution’s new-entering, first-time, first-year undergraduate students who complete their program within 150% of the published time for the program. Graduation rate excludes a huge number of students. This indicator doesn’t consider students of nontraditional enrollments - part-time students, students who enroll mid-year, and who transfer from one institution to another. So graduation rate alone can create a misleading perception. Completion rate in the form of total number of students receiving any types of awards/degrees creates a complete picture. Combining this data with graduation rate is a better way to compare schools.

Student Reviews and Ratings for New Castle School of Trades
Overall Rating:
I got out of the HVAC program after 1 week. It was very clear I would likely not get the education needed for this field. Instructor let class out early every night, sat and played on his phone and gave no explanation or demonstrations to what was needed to be done and to be honest probably didn't care. Who could or would pay 12,000 dollars for that? Avoid. Avoid. Avoid.
Source of the review: Google Places, Google Maps™My fiance went there 2016-2017. For $12,000 He got a C+ education (one of his instructors had never even held a job and had no experience in the field he was teaching BESIDES his schooling from NCST) and their "great job placement program" did ABSOLUTELY NOTHING in helping him get a job. Absolute waste of time and money.
Source of the review: Google Places, Google Maps™I enjoyed my experience at New Castle School of Trades. I highly recommend any student to come if interested in learning a new trade. The instructors are always very supportive and eager to help their students. If you have any questions or concerns they will help you in any way possible. I enjoyed learning about Welding. I had zero knowledge about welding when I started. I've learned that I absolutely love it and can't wait to begin my career as a welder.
Source of the review: Google Places, Google Maps™I originally started off going to a different college but because it wasn't hands on, I felt lost. So a friend mentioned NCST. Definitely something I would recommend to anyone who likes hands on experience. I decided to go through the Automotive class, my first day they handed us an engine and told us to dive in, I literally had no clue what I was doing, but six engines later I can tell you every part of it. The evening instructors really made my time here something worth while as did the entire staff. They all go above and beyond for you if you ask.
Source of the review: Google Places, Google Maps™I have attended NCST for 15 months. The class size and facilities are excellent for getting the best education possible. The staff and instructors are always willing to help you with any issues you may have. Job placement seems to be a topic that is held high and they do everything they can to place you into a great career.
