The Daytona campus offered programs to prepare students for jobs as motorcycle, marine, and personal watercraft technicians.
[16][17] A 2011 report by California Watch found that student loan default rates in 2009 were an alarming 27.4% at Long Beach and 24.6% in Fremont.
[18] In its 2011 investigation and 2012 report, The Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions also highlighted Corinthian Colleges, WyoTech's parent company, as a predatory corporation that misled students about costs and gainful employment.
[22] However, WyoTech schools faced layoffs and site closings as Corinthian Colleges, its parent company, received greater government scrutiny for its questionable business and trading practices.
Due to a lack of acceptable offers to buy the Daytona Beach campus, WyoTech continued operations there.
[25] In a 2014 expose, The Center for Investigative Reporting found that three of WyoTechs' California campuses received more than $32 million in GI Bill funds during a 5-year span.
According to the lawsuit filed on their behalf, instructors sometimes appeared to be drunk, fell asleep in class and could not answer basic questions, and equipment was outdated.
[37] On June 8, 2015, the US Department of Education announced that it was developing a process that would allow former students of Corinthian schools to apply for debt relief, if they believed they were victims of fraud.
While the Department has still not created a formal process, they have provided the outlines of what borrowers should submit if they wish to pursue debt cancellation on the Federal Student Aid website.
