Lack of communication was apparent, which was frustrating to say the least. Whenever an issue was…read moreraised by a student, it was often mishandled and ignored. Hidden fees were NOT disclosed upfront and when asked to have an itemized bill, the school could not come up with one. This institution is more interested in accruing revenue than helping their students to succeed. I would caution anyone reading this to read all of the reviews on here before thinking of enrolling at this school as these hidden fees may cause you to be financially strained in the end. If you look at the pass rate of this school for NCLEX-PN, it is BELOW the average passing rate in the state of Illinois and WAY BELOW the national average. No wonder this school is ON PROBATION. See the links at the end of my review. If I were you, I would spend my hard earned money on an institution that has a great reputation and an above average NCLEX pass rate. In my experience, it is best to apply to nursing schools with at least a 95% pass rate; the higher the percentage, the better. SOURCES: 1.

The Aquarius Institute has been in business since 1996. Starting off in Chicago, Aquarius Institute began providing career training for job skills to individuals to meet the requirements of the ever changing technology related jobs. After a few years, Aquarius Institute moved into the City of Des Plaines in the year 2001. At the address of 911 East Touhy Avenue, Des Plaines, Aquarius Institute continued its business at this location until the year 2011. (Copies of the City of Des Plaines Business licenses from year 2001 to 2011 are enclosed for review.) Aquarius Institute at first started its business in providing Computer Information Systems training. Among Computer Information Systems training, we also provided training in the latest high demand software and hardware. We continued to provide I.T. training up until the year 2005. Aquarius Institute realized less job potential for the local individuals due to outsourcing of I.T. jobs to foreign countries (such as India, China, etc.) Therefore, in the year of 2005, Aquarius Institute took a tangent and started to provide more service related skills training in the Allied Medical Health Care field. Currently, the Allied Medical Health Care field is the best service field to be in...

For starters, they have a fantastic online resource called the Service Application Manual. This exhaustive resource contains a wealth of knowledge as it pertains to servicing. From HVAC to Ice Machines and even Pneumatics, its all covered. They also offer specific training manuals for an additional fee. For those of us in major metropolitan areas (Like Chicago), there are local chapters that hold monthly educational meetings between the fall and spring seasons. Occasional seminars are also held for an additional fee and cover a specific aspect of the trade. Keep up the good work, RSES!

This review is for Empty Bowls an annual event held at Oakton Community College. Empy Bowls…read moreprovides support to Caring Closet local food pantries and students. It features pottery and woodworking items, all reasonably priced. I recommend arriving early, 20-30 minutes before it opens to join the line of shoppers, It is very well organized and the ceramic bowls are displayed on a tables set up in a square formation allowing shoppers to walk around the tables. There are hundreds of items. With your purchase you receive a ticket for a bowl of soup, bread, cupcake and beverage. There are a variety of homemade soups to chose from. All the volunteers go above and beyond to ensure the event is well run and a wonderful experience. I highly recommend supporting Empty Bowls, a nonprofit, global movement that has raised millions of dollars .

Case in point: the CIS Chair has a BS in Computer Science, when a Masters is the minimum anywhere else. IAI (Illinois Articulation Initiative) classes require not less than a masters in the field, yet the dept. chair, with a BS, teaches those classes (CIS 101, etc.). If you look at class reveiws (ratemyprofessor, etc.) the words, "easy, turned in half my work and still got an A", etc. keep popping up. This appears to be a recurring issue, so the Dean, VP, Pres., etc. apparently couldn't care less.
