Ratings are on a 1-10 scale
| Characteristic | Rating | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Would Recommend? | maybe | It's a hard career. It pays the bills. Not everyone loves it, but I like it. |
| Program Reputation | 2 | The school is known as the dropout school. Often students will graduate and not be able to place in a job. |
| Program Quality | 9 | I loved my teacher; I worked hard and she recognized that. Years later, she remembered me, which meant a lot. |
| Instruction | 10 | Almost everything I learned, I applied. I felt prepared and ready to work. |
| How Difficult | 4 | Many skills were needed to pass, but hands-on learning was easy for me. It amazed me that some people had to retake the class. |
| Hands-On vs. Bookish | We had a good half-and-half mix. There was a lot of bookwork, but it was great preparation. | |
| Schedule Flexibility | 8 | They offer many night courses, but no online courses. |
| Academic Facilities | 5 | The facility is older, but they are updating it. Library is small, if they have one. In terms of the atmosphere, it feels more like a high school than a college. |
| Social Life | 1 | There were no social activities at all. Everyone was in and out, and doing their own thing. |
| Placement Services | 1 | They offer courses for jobs that are extremely full in our area. With so many people going back to school, they need to continually update their programs for marketable jobs. |
| Alumni Network | 2 | I receive a quarterly magazine with current classes offered, and that is all the contact I have had. They do offer workshops to reach out to the community, which I think is fabulous. |
