Would Recommend?noI've already told others who were thinking of going into this field to NOT attend this school. I got a tip from one of my clients for the sound advice!
Program Reputation1Many students have left for other schools in the area. There are also many verbal fights with the owner.
Program Quality3The instructor was not very educated in the field! We had to rely on other students with higher credentials to help us.
Instruction1The instructor was too busy drinking coffee and smoking to help or care. Our main instruction was from other students.
How Difficult5Practicals took a long time, but helped us prepare for the field. It was a learn-at-your-own-pace experience.
Hands-On vs. BookishBesides other students, the book was the only way to learn. The instructor was busy smoking and drinking coffee. She was completely clueless.
Schedule Flexibility1If you weren't there by 9 a.m., they locked you out of the building.
Academic Facilities1None of the standard resources or facilities were available at our school. If you have a question, you can use the internet on your phone.
Social Life1She doesn't offer any extracurricular activities or social events. Most students left each day angry.
Placement Services1No job placement. Don't care what happens if they let you leave.
Alumni Network1There is no alumni network. One of the students has been there 2 years, due to the fact that the instructor won't let her test.
Review your current or past school and help others make better career decisions.
