I've seen some of the TRAINEES that Oklahoma City places in the field, and it makes you wonder if they teach anything. The ones we get with prior experience have some idea but a majority of the others (CTI/Street) hires have very little grasp of the basics. I've heard rumors that some are passed into the field to make the numbers (graduation rates) look good.

Plus, with the lack of oversight at CTI schools, they may as well hire everyone off the street instead of having someone pile up student loan debt.

Just my two cents worth from someone that sees it daily...
