Ratings are on a 1-10 scale
| Characteristic | Rating | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Would Recommend? | yes | I found the teaching materials used worked well for people of all levels. The instructors have many, many years in the field which makes them easy to learn from. |
| Program Reputation | 10 | It has a very good reputation for hands on learning. Also, it has a very high rate of graduation. |
| Program Quality | 10 | I find it to be a very good program. The type of instructions given was exactly what I needed to learn the job. |
| Instruction | 10 | The instruction was very good considering the short time. Instructors gave a lot of hands on work which made it easier to learn. |
| How Difficult | 5 | The textbooks and videos made it easy to learn. |
| Hands-On vs. Bookish | There is a mix of hands on and book learning and videos. | |
| Schedule Flexibility | 1 | Since it is a short program, no flexibility is available. They have new classes every 2 months which means if you don't pass it at first, you can always retake the class. |
| Academic Facilities | 5 | The classrooms need to be larger, as does the laboratory. |
| Social Life | 1 | There are no social events. |
| Placement Services | 5 | They provided some basic help but didn't go out of their way. They are willing to provide recommendations if needed. |
