I recommend this occupational center to everyone who is thinking of a career change - they have so many interesting courses, if I lived closer, I would take all of them,- their classes are very affordable and designed to take you as a complete beginner and help you get knowledge and hands on experience, so after graduating you will quickly find a job. Wishing prosperity to this place!

After you finish your tests, for certain programs you are put onto a waitlist and they tell you they will call or email you if there are spots open. I took a test back in September and was waiting for the November waitlist. I eventually did get a call/email that were was spots open and you must register at 8am on a specific day. I didn't follow through as I decided on another school but now I constantly get spam calls from this school. Even when blocked, I get calls from different numbers from this school.

This review is beyond past due. I will keep it as short as…read morepossible. Went there around 2015-16, never finished my medical assisting program because the teacher Mr. u was such a creep. This man is married with kids and a wife (who has MS), and if that's not bad enough most of the girls (barely 18-21) were confiding in me about his (Mr. U) inappropriate behavior. The fact that you're a grown man with a wife and kids as old as your students, and you're trying to be their best friends and get them to come to your hotel room speak volumes ! My sister and I had seen text messages and heard too many girls come forward to assume these were rumors. We reported this to the director who in-turn informed the teacher (Mr. U) that he was being talked about. There was no urgency to protect the students. Mr. U was more concerned about the pettiness amongst the students in the class-- which in turn fuels more issues. I approached this pedo with class and even asked how he's doing. Why would I do that if I went off and cursed you down the hall. He drove so much unhealthy competition, tension, and negativity in this class. He gossiped with the students and spread lies-- I mean this guy was eating lunch with his students in the lounge area EVERYDAY. Talk about Inappropriate. I even asked him why he had been a MA teacher for so long and not worked at a real school. His answer ? Too many reports of sexual misconduct. Erm , not the answer I was expecting but it said a lot about the mans mentality. Also shows that this staff was negligent and complicit. Staff often complained and hated their jobs because the school would make them wait weeks before they could deposit their own paychecks ! I worked as a student worker and had that same issue. Send your kid there and they will be preyed on. Enroll them and your pockets will be prayed on. Go to a community college, or take an online course at an accredited institution. Everyday since I've left I'd prayed for this school to be shutdown. Let's hope God and the universe is listening. P.S I dare someone say I'm lying-- still have receipts and names of these individuals 10 yrs later ! Just uploaded a receipt for reference.

Everything could improve, from the instructors to the people behind the desks. When I was there for…read moretheir surgical tech program (2015-2017), they only had two clinical sites and one of them shut down. When my sister went there for the same program (2020), she had to find her own clinical sites because they didn't have any. The surgical tech instructor doesn't like to answer questions or teach and most of the material is self taught in the classroom. Honestly, just go to ACC or Concorde. It's crazy how the program is about 35k and they don't even put it into the classrooms.

Since my boss paid for it, I couldn't get out of going and I do need the certificate for my job, so I went. I'm so glad I did! Victoria Burke made it encouraging, upbeat and interesting.

I've been a CNA/HHC provider for the past decade and still learned useful information in a fun way. Next time, I hope she's still around because I will look her up to take her class again.

The gal who was teaching the class started hitting the AED to activate it, and it was yelling out orders wile I was taking the test 10 feet away. She seemed to have no respect for me taking the test and I had to yell out for her to knock it off. She apologized and stopped it. But it was not professional and I have not experienced anything like this before. I put my correct e-mail address for her so I hope I get my card soon or will have to take action like others on this platform. The gals at the front desk didn't look too busy either from what I could see.

On the email after you register for your test, you'll be given a code to put in to open the door. Parking was free so that was a win-win situation. There were other people taking other exams as well on a Sunday morning. The process was simple, you check in and then get your picture taken. They take you to the room and your off taking your test. If you don't want any background noise then you can ask for ear plugs or put on the headphones that they had at the computer station. The lady working today was nice, I didn't have any problems with her. They'll give you a key to use if you have to go use the bathroom before taking your test.
