i am (sigh) a graduate of said technical education facility. What morilla's friends told him is probably true, you could get the same education by interning at a studio, but then again, it'd have to be a successful studio that is run by people who have the time and the willingness to help you learn.
Essentially, what i observed during my experience, is that about half of the people are treating it like 13th grade (with behavior to match) and the other half are really hoping to get something out of it. And you have to work to get as much as you can. Extremely easy to coast thru and pass without actually learning anything.
That said, of the people in just my (monthly) graduating class (for audio) there is:
• An ADR/Foley editor director who has worked on numerous famous movies
• A sound recordist who has done a lot of work for Alton Brown's (Food Network) shows
• A guy who was an assistant engineer on Shakira's breakout album
• A guy who did work for Boyd Tinsley of Dave MAtthews Band and works some soundtrack music guy who's name i've spaced.So, yeah, it's an expensive stepping stone that you can definately make someething out of if you work at it.
As for me, life's circumstances steered me into learning video on the job. And i am apparently allergic to making money
