Verified Reviewer | Decatur, GeorgiaOmnitech Institute - Education Review from Decatur, Georgia
DO NOT SIGN YOUR NAME; DO YOUR RESEARCH. OMNITECH IS NOT A GOOD SOURCE EDUCATION
I signed. I enrolled. I switched Focus; I went from Audio Engineer to I.T. This was so necessary when it clicked to me that my classmates and I were definitely getting cheated in the quality of education offered. I choose I.T. for better future career security. I connected with my professor; however, and still till this day we connect.
When I signed, OmniTech promised certification vouchers for test taking. When it was time to pay up they maneuvered around their original agreement at signing and reneged on the vouchers. I was swift and wise and made a way to get those promised vouchers.
Next issue. Three days before graduation I learned that OmniTech owed me $800 in back pay from finances they received in the 2nd month of my attendance--- which, evidently, they were not planning to reimburse me $800 on the day of graduation.
Be careful before you sign those papers. Call them up on these online complaints you're reading. OmniTech is so bad that they needed to relocate because the OmniTech that I went to in Decatur, GA. (it's first location) reputation is "shot-out." Be watchful of Mr. Lester, too. He has unethical behaviors and schemes. A bit too unethical for a black man who is in the business of forming black leaders. God will deal with him justly.
Main point, do your research or you will too attempt to form a student union, just like we did when I was there, to bring justice to the unjustifiable OmniTech. Hint, Hint: They pay for radio ads, too. Don't be fooled.
Preferred solution: Let the company propose a solution
Omnitech Is Everything Everyone Is Complaining About And Some!
I taught for 6 months in music production and audio engineering several years ago. For Charlton Lester to be an I.T.
Guy the equipment was sub-par. I got permission from administration to put my own programs on the computerss and the students loved it. The students liked my instruction and enjoyed the classses. We were doing quite well then Lester had the apps removed from the computers.
Students lost all of their tracks and were highly upset. He scolds instructors about retaining students then puts obstacles in your way so you don't succeed. He robs students dreams as he steals their money and thinks it's hilarious. Charlton Lester is Bi-polar and a sick individual that fools a lot of people until he gets you on the hook.
Because I was liked and kept students moving forward I was terminated, I was told he only wanted Grammy Award winning instructors at his school.
Do not attend this school if you intend on learning anything of value, you won't get it here!
- Students
- Fowl games
- Owner
- Butt kissing so many did
Preferred solution: Treat employees and students with respect, you never know what position they may end up in.
OMNITECH IS A COMPLETE FARSE
I went to this DUMP after Leaving Atlanta Tech (A Great School BTW)
and that is a MAJOR regret of mine. I learned nothing they charged me $300/Mo.Took advantage of me and thousands of other young people gullible enough to enroll into this fraudulent unaccredited educational junkyard.
Omnitech on a resume is laughable to potential employers. Carlos Lester is a Gangster/***-artist. one of his former colleagues told me that he only sells dreams. Cost me $6,000 in student loans after paying $300/mo for a year while unemployed.
My family is still struggling as a result 7 years after the fact. so yeah, Carlos sold me a VERY expensive dream that I'm still paying for to this day. The curriculum's are and absolute joke. I really cannot believe that this "institution" still has it's doors open.
I honestly believe that all student should be due a class action lawsuit after being duped by this pyramid scheme of a school.
Even the staff would agree (unless Carlos Lester is piping them down and breaking them off a cut of the take he is getting from people seeking a higher education). GO TO ATLANTA TECH IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO BE SUCKER PUNCHED IN THE POCKET. THEY WILL PRACTICALLY PAY YOU FOR A BETTER EDUCATION SANS A STUDENT LOAN. Wish I had seen this before I enrolled.
Now I am back at Atlanta Tech and Have to pay out of pocket because of my mistake of going to OmniFlex. PLEASE STEER CLEAR OF CARLOS LESTER CIRCUS/CLOWN COLLEGE.

OmniTech: What Is True.!?
1 Thessalonians 5:21
PROVE ALL THINGS, HOLD FAST THAT WHICH IS GOOD...
I have been a pissed consumer follower for years, because I like to know what I am incorporating into my life, regardless of how big or small. I cannot understand why this school and it's president is under so much attack, and NONE of this stuff is based on facts and convictions. Hello, does anyone not see this!? I have been so hurt and offended, as a black educator in Atlanta, I don't know what to do! I have sat and spoken with Omnitech students & staff, both past and present, and my findings are SHOCKING (to say the least).
First of all, I had no idea that Mr. Lester and Omnitech instructors are responsible for over 5,000 students acquiring over 15,000 certifications in the IT field, not including the hundreds of Certified Medical Assistants the school has groomed. NONE of the sexual harassment accusations held up in court, because of the many inconsistencies in BOTH women's stories. Its all public access! Very few of the students whom I spoke to had negative things to say about the school, and the ones who ARE disturbed are disturbed by the negative things portrayed on THIS WEBSITE!!!
Now lets look at this from the proud Omnitech students' perspective...
Apparently, people go to Omnitech to receive the best computer training in Atlanta. With intentions of
getting employed before graduating from the program, because majority of the students have done it in the past. Can you imagine the pressure these kids, and adult students alike, are under!? People, we need to seriously re evaluate our thought patterns, the things entertain, and the company we keep...
I mean, one of the ladies who have posted on this site (anonymously of coarse), admitted to being terminated from Omnitech for poor performance in a Performance Based work environment. And NONE of the stuff she is complaining about seemed to have been a problem before she was terminated.
So, with all logic in place; assassination of this school and its president needs to STOP..! Think of how many lives are affected in a positive way when another student gets certified and goes into the IT field, then ask yourself if you want to be a part of bringing that to an end...
By the way; why is this the only site on the entire web that seems to be aware of these scandals???
It's up to you...

I also was employed at Omnitech as an Audio Engineering Instructor. (M.Dudley).
I too was scammed as a student, so I flipped it on em and gained a job out of the deal. The current Digital Media Program was designed and named by me. I definitely take the credit as I should. The problem happened when I took the side of my students and demanded more for them.
Within weeks of winning my "most improved instructor" award I was told I'm not what they had in mind as an instructor. *** tho since, my ideas were good enough to bring the course up. Also I was the instructor who took the time off the clock to find and place worthy students in internships throughout the Atlanta industry. That's all I wanted to add.
Hopefully somebody sues the *** out of Lester and Wakely is a ***....
I always said it from day one! ---Dudley
That is sad you would speak down on the school but why would you want to harm educators who are trying to help young black people. Not once did Mr.
Wakely bribe students to sell electronics for him because I am student myself and he showed us how we can go get laptops and fix them up and sell them to put money in our pockets. So know your facta before you try and slander someone name.
True. He made us lie.
I'm sorry. He is corrupt. Keep turning him in. We are all doing it.
He takes advantage.
Bless you. I'm sorry if I was the one who enrolled you.
Isnt Domenic lesters boy toi.??
