    This is what they gave me after they dropped me from school. Does this look like an official transcript????
    MPhuong L.

    Don't go to this school, very bad school, instructor don't care about there student, if you have 1 absent you will be drop from school and they won't give you a transcript, so basically months of internship for nothing. Be aware of this school. Clinical instructor leave a needle on patient bed multiple times and she kept blaming it on student. Make you take care of a covid patient, risk your life then if you catch covid, they will mark you absent and drop you without giving you a proper transcript. If you fight for your right, they will drop you without any transcript, your money will be down the drain. Theory teacher doesn't know how to teach properly without a good theory lesson. He sells snack and chips in class for student. Save your money and don't go to the school , you will waste your time and money and gas for nothing, they will not care about you. They only care about your money. Once you paid them, there's no money back. You will waste all your time gas on all the clinical time but if you missing one clinical day, they will drop you, and won't give you a chance to go back. But refused to give you your transcript. They will make you do all the internship time in hospital. You will be cleaning personal secretions, urine, person fluid, covid patient, pneumonia, all the horrible diseases, even AIDS and HIV patients, basically all the dirty work but if you got sick from covid, you will be dropped without any explanation. They don't even care about student, they will try to hide their flaws as much as they can and will tell you "forget about it and move on"-this sentence was said by the CEO of this school over the phone with me after I was dropped from school. They think they can get me to stay quiet and won't speak up. But it's time to let everyone know what they're hiding.

    So glad I went to CDI as well as my family members. The instructors are very helpful and the way the school is organized by the DON will definitely make you pass NCLEX as long as you-- pay attention to lectures, TAKE NOTES, read the textbook/workbook and do the exercises, Saunders, and ESPECIALLY ATI. Kim is wonderful and really cares about the students. The instructors, especially Ms Fae, taught me how to become an organized, caring competent nurse. The school itself is smacked in a quiet neighborhood and has a homey feel to it. It's a family vibe between classmates, schoolmates, staff, and teachers; you can even bbq at the back patio area. The skills lab is bigger and has more mannequins to practice with compared to surrounding vocational schools I've visited. The clinical sites and the staff in each of them are amazing and will prepare you in the real world. From SNF to subacute, acute to medsurg/telemetry, to psych, to ICU to observing surgeries, and to maternity and peds. It's an exciting feeling and CDI will guide you through that journey.

    I definitely recommend CDI! The school is organized and they really help you and teach you the material as well as hands on skills. I am well trained due to this school and found a job right away. THANK YOU KIM!

    I can't recommend the ACC LA Radiography Program enough. I want to give a huge thank you to Mr. M,…read moreMr. Demers, Mr. S, Mr. Burkhart, Mr. Flowers, and Ms. B for everything they've done for me. They played a huge role in helping me graduate, preparing me for the ARRT, and giving me the confidence to succeed in this profession. One thing I want future students to know is that these instructors truly want nothing but the best for you. They will push you because they care. Sometimes their feedback can be tough, but it's never personal because they want you to become a safe, knowledgeable, and successful radiologic technologist. Looking back, I'm grateful for every lesson and every challenge because it made me a better technologist. A special shoutout to both Mr. M and Mr. Demers. They are both exceptional instructors whose passion for radiography and dedication to their students is unmatched. They genuinely care about every student's success and always go above and beyond to make sure you understand the material, think critically, and become the best technologist you can be. Their years of experience, knowledge, and commitment to teaching are evident every single day. I've even had people from other schools and other states message me saying how lucky I was to be taught by Mr. M because of his reputation in the radiography community. Together, Mr. M and Mr. Demers didn't just prepare us to pass the ARRT. They prepared us to become competent, confident, and safe radiologic technologists. Mr. S, Mr. Burkhart, and Mr. Flowers were amazing throughout clinicals. They always made sure we stayed on top of our clinical rotations, competencies, and hours, and they were always there to guide us every step of the way. Their support and mentorship helped us grow into confident technologists who were ready for real-world clinical practice. I also want to thank Ms. B for always being supportive, patient, encouraging, and committed to helping every student succeed. This program is challenging, and it's not supposed to be easy. Success takes effort from both the instructors and the students. If you come in ready to learn, study, accept feedback, and put in the work, these instructors will do everything they can to help you succeed. For me, every dollar of tuition was worth it. I graduated feeling prepared, passed my ARRT, and now I'm starting my career with confidence. I have absolutely no regrets choosing this program. Thank you again to the entire faculty for believing in me, pushing me to be my best, and helping me build the foundation for my career. I will always be grateful. RTR

    Sabio is amazing. What makes it stand out above other coding bootcamps is the amount of years of…read moreexperience that the senior instructors have who are actually teaching the classes. From Prework to cohort, there is really no experience not to love, I actually found myself excited to get up and go every day. Not to say the hours aren't long...they really are, there's no way around it, you're learning an entirely new language in months. You have to be prepared for that mentally. But as long as you can withstand the work knowing that a great job is just waiting for you right around the corner, you'll be fine. And that's the thing about Sabio, they really want every single student to succeed. Gregorio and Liliana truly care about each individual that crosses their path, which is apparent the minute you sign up. They are there, helping you choose the path that best works for you. If you want proof about any of this, check out this article 'Selecting A Coding Bootcamp That Is Approved By The State of CA Has Many Benefits!' https://blog.sabio.la/selecting-a-coding-bootcamp-that-is-approved-by-the-state-of-ca-has-many-benefits-5997b7bf5c12 With all the information laid out for you, why would you choose another coding bootcamp? The answer is simple: Go Sabio.

    If you are using VETTEC you should steer away from Sabio! They haven't posted their graduation…read morerates since 2019 for a reason, one of the latest cohorts started with over 100 students and is already down to ~30 students. the training is 66hrs a week, and will leave you no time for anything but this course, and once you get to a certain point in the program, they give you a test in React which you are more than likely to fail. If you are using other programs such as your GI bill or you are paying out of pocket, there is a good chance they will let you continue, however, if you use VETTEC and fail, they will push you back and make you use your GI bill or pay out of pocket. pros: The course is very fast-paced and will teach you a lot in very little time. Some of the instructors are nice and really helpful (Alley, Barnett, Zach, Daniel...). cons: The course changes after the first month and leaves you to code on your own with one lecture (1 hr) a week and videos that you should be following are inconsistent and some have not been updated since 2016. People with no coding experience should not attempt this course, as it is too fast pace for learning anything properly and everyone just tells you "keep pushing", whether you understand it or not, is of no concern, as after a week they move on to a different topic React-to- SQL, they also do not have makeup tests as the course is so fast-paced. If using VETTEC they drop you back the first chance they can, so they can get more money from you, if you decide to pay out of pocket its suppose to be 75 percent (which is apparently around $5,000), if you use your GI bill they double it based off of the hours. So if you have 3 months left in the program they will take 6 months of your GI bill, if you have 4 months = 8 months of your GI Bill. Some of the instructors (Nick, Danny...) are really rude, making the student feel stupid when they are asking a question.
