Westwood College • Denver, CO
Studying Associate Degree - Medical Assisting (completion in 2009)

"I was satisfied. It got the job done fast and easy, although I can't say I had a lot of fun or anything like that at the school."
Ratings are on a 1-10 scale
| Characteristic | Rating | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Would Recommend? | yes | Medical assisting is a job that requires just a certificate, which Everest definitely provides. Classes were flexible and I had no problem finishing the program. |
| Program Reputation | 7 | It's alright. There are a lot of medical assisting programs that all tend to be rather similar, so Everest seems like it's on the same level; no less, though. |
| Program Quality | 7 | My school did a good job, although I wish we had more experiential training. All jobs in medical assisting tend to be a little different, but that would have been nice. |
| Instruction | 8 | Instruction was good, although I did a decent amount of learning online. Professors were good and tried to explain things well. |
| How Difficult | 7 | The program wasn't too hard, although it was rather fast-paced. Help from professors really helped in order to make it more manageable. |
| Hands-On vs. Bookish | We did both, but I think that I would have preferred more hands-on learning. When I started working, I felt that I would have liked more experiential work. | |
| Schedule Flexibility | 8 | I did a lot of my classes online, which was great with my schedule. There wasn't a huge variation in terms of on-campus classes, but many night classes helped. |
| Academic Facilities | 8 | Facilities were decent, although I never really had to use them. There didn't seem to be enough space for the amount of students. |
| Social Life | 3 | At this school, there wasn't a huge school culture. We have no sports teams or organizations, which made it less of a spirited school. |
| Placement Services | 8 | Job placement was great. I knew where I wanted to go and had a few connections already, but the school really helped to solidify it. |
| Alumni Network | 2 | There's really not much of an alumni network. The school does use alumni to find jobs, but not as much as advertised. |
