Some of the instructors are fine. I am supposed to graduate next month and we have barely, and I…read moremean barely done anything to gain knowledge regarding blueprints. Want a job? Good luck. Miss an email about a partner company coming to test students for a job? Too bad. You're not getting to take a test for that company regardless of how well you can weld. I have applied for around 25-30 jobs even as low as $16-18 an hour and still no luck. Part of me wants to think it is the schools reputation, but it's not certain. Tuition is expensive and it is going up even more for new enrollments. They made sure to say never worry about employment through the beginning as if it was only a sales pitch. My overall feeling of this school as of today is simply that they want your money, and don't care about anything else. Failing this school is actually hard to do because they push students through so they can keep getting your money. If something else magically changes between now and next month, I will update this review.

Currently enrolling and this place is a joke. I've tried posting reviews on their google page to…read morewarn people to stay away and not make the same mistake I did and they keep getting them taken down or held under review so you can't see them. These people are crooked and they just want your money. I'm currently stuck in this hostile, unhealthy, unhelpful school environment because I have to pay them 20,000 either way. I'm stuck. They are wonderful salesmen, but that is where it ends. They tell you what you want to hear to get you to sign. Please please look elsewhere. For you, for your sanity and for your wallet.

Fortis College in Richmond, Virginia has been an outstanding place to pursue my education. The…read moreinstructors are knowledgeable, supportive, and genuinely care about helping students succeed both in the classroom and in their future careers. The hands-on training gave me the confidence and practical skills I needed to prepare for the real world. The staff is always professional, encouraging, and willing to answer questions or provide guidance whenever needed. I also appreciate that the programs are career-focused, allowing students to build the knowledge and experience employers are looking for. Fortis College offers healthcare and skilled trades programs designed to prepare students for entry-level careers through classroom, lab, and clinical training. If you're looking for a college that values student success, provides practical learning opportunities, and creates a supportive environment, I highly recommend Fortis College in Richmond. My experience has been positive, and I'm grateful for everything I've learned there. Thank you

After Kevin did a great job discussing the class offerings here, the "Director of Admissions"…read moreruined all that by being very unprofessional upon my physical arrival to the school. There was no welcome or we're glad to have you here type of greeting, I was just told to stand in a certain place to have my temperature taken by this mindless automaton and then corralled like a horse into a back room. I decided to dare to "roam the halls" as it was put while waiting, and was castigated. You would think looking in other workspaces at a school would be encouraged to cross-market. What followed was a convoluted rant on C19 and CDC issues that was more bullying and self-aggrandizement than good customer service or public relations. Roaming around put me further from people, not closer, so this was merely a power move. I arrived early and had a chance to interact with some current students and I saw none of them cheerful and some seemed unhappy or even mildly scared. Very unusual. Here fear and subordination supercede education. Students, if someone is not professional and kind to you, run away. Never let anyone weaponize their own personality to make you feel bad. There are other schools and the student calls the shots because its their money. One more thing. As I walked out, the staffer at the window was not wearing a mask, and I was, so please spare the hypocrisy.

If you're a veteran looking for a low-impact place to burn your GI Bill while collecting BAH and…read morefiguring out your next move in life... this place is honestly perfect. Plenty of breathing room. Plenty of "personal time." Sometimes so much personal time you'll wonder if class actually started yet. Want to sleep in after years of military life? Good news -- some instructors don't even really start taking attendance until around 0830. Truly a gentle reintroduction to civilian life. Now... if you're attending because you seriously want to become a competent A&P mechanic and stay competitive in the Tidewater aviation market, then you better be prepared to carry a lot of the load yourself. They'll absolutely tell you they have "career services." And technically they do. If by career services you mean AI-generated resumes, motivational speeches, and career fairs where employers hand out stress balls and keychains while students pray someone's actually hiring. Remember: this is a for-profit school. Never forget that during the tour. Ask yourself honestly -- is the person giving me the sales pitch an educator... or a commissioned recruiter with a polo shirt and a clipboard? At the end of the day, the school only mildly prepares you for the reality that matters: passing the FAA writtens, orals, and practicals. The license doesn't magically appear because you sat in class and drank burnt coffee for 18 months. If your goal is a paid sabbatical with an extra $2200+ in BAH while easing out of military life, you'll probably love it. If your goal is becoming a highly skilled mechanic? You better be ready to teach yourself.
