Not a great experience, and would not recommend this school to anyone. The administration and…read moresupport staff are horrible. I'll start with the positives: most professors/ teachers are great.... others, leave a little left to the imagination. I had one class and the teacher actually had her "skinny-wrap" home business rep come in and sell the class wraps, and potions, and bs! AND try to recruit students for her home-based business that had NOTHING TO DO with what we should've been "learning"! Some teachers are great, and really care; and I did learn a lot, clinically. Other classes were a WASTE of time, and I was enrolled in the winter session, and had to trudge up there, IN THE FREEZING COLD, AND SNOW, TO MAKE IT TO CLASS, or risk failing because of attendance rules!!!! but like I said, most classes and teachers (professors??) were ok. I'll give them an "A" for effort... they really tried, but they couldn't make up for the LACK of professionalism, and at least, knowledge of the REST of the departments. The education and mentoring was great. But when it comes to the actual administration, and departments like, financial aid, business office, management, advisories, externship and career placement... they could care less, are only out to meet quotas, get your money,and have no experience in the field. The school doesn't offer a certificate through the License/Certification Required by most jobs: Certified or eligible to be certified by the American Association of Medical Assistants or as a Registered Medical Assistant by the American Society of Medical Technologists. They use a different certification that is barely recognized nationally, and you do not have the option to take the other exams. This place was one of the worse experiences of my life. Waste of money. The communication from the administration is very lacking, or none. Anytime I had a question regarding my financial aid, or payment schedule, I was given no answers, until SALLIE MAE came after me because the had "made a mistake" submitting my loan? Which is a federal loan, and affects my credit for the rest of my living life!!! I had to chase down answers, and got the run around, most of the time. I AM STILL looking for information on the so-called scholarship they offer for nursing school that probably doesn't even exist. They sell taht in orientation- "work hard, get a 4.0, and you'll get a scholarship!" yeah.... BULL............. as far as I know, it doesn't exist because after graduating, NO ONE CAN TELL ME ANYTHING ABOUT THIS! As far as I'm concerned, it probably doesn't even exist.... just another ploy to get you in, get your money, and make their quotas!! They are defensive ( probably because they know their mistakes), elusive, rude, and just unprofessional. Horrible school. I wouldn't recommend this to my worst enemy!

I went here for a couple of months, I was super excited because I was ready to go back to school…read more At first it was okay, everyone was super nice and everyone seemed to know what they were doing then the second MOD started. They split my class up without telling anyone and they just decided to dump is into whatever class they could. By far that was the worst case scenario. When I and four other students went to class everyone was hostile and rude. The drama there is too much, their are childish immature people there who have no respect for anyone. Some of the teachers were really good, I learned a lot in my lecture and clinical classes but nothing too much in admin. I wished that the school wasn't so drama filled and that they choose they administration better. I had a admin sharing my grades to people and talking about me to other students and teachers and even told one of my teachers that I said I was "going to slap the shit out of her". Not only did I go to one of the heads but they said it was my fault because one of her reps had told her I had been attacking her for months but I didn't even look at the girl. All in all, the teachers are good, the admin and the rest of the school are a bunch of idiots who just want your money and make you get into debt. I wish I had never even stepped foot into that school..I had so much drama during that time because of that school that I just left. Students would curse out teachers like as if it was high school. It was just bad. I wouldn't advise anyone to go to that school. Just go straight to college. 16,000 compared to 3,000 at a normal college. I'll take the 3,000.

This review of the takoma parking campus is based on my experience while I was there from 2016-2018 and not anywhere if any new update to the campus. When comparing the 3 Montgomery College campuses the takoma park campus is the most outdated and old. On one side of the campus you got old building for all the majors and on the other side you have a newer building for all the health science majors. There is a pedestrian bridge that connect the two side together and below is a metro rail. The campus has vending machine and a computer lab where you can go to do work on the computer. There is garage parking on both side of the campus and sometime there is crime of breaking into car and stealing valuable if you leave them in your car. My car got scratches when I parked in the garage. The teachers I had for my anatomy class & sociology were very good when I took them at this campus. All in all, unless you are majoring in the health science majors or looking for a specific professor for your class then I wouldn't recommend coming to this campus compare to the other 2 MC locations.

But very quick to explain I have to pay a non refundable fee. I'm afraid to pay expenses like that, by observing their miscommunication. It honestly feels scammy. Due to my experience and reading other experiences, I will push for a university that is more organized and welcoming.

Pretty easy course. As long as you read the book they give you and pay enough attention in class…read moreyou should pass every exam. The CPR class was also good. The clinicals were challenging at first but the more you understand routine and practice the easier it gets. I was able to build amazing connections through this course fr the teacher as well.

This School is by far the best in the area. 1. Its fast…read morepaced , so it gets you done and into the industry faster without compromising the education. The instructor knew what she's taking about. So, gave real life scenarios to help you remember. 2. Front office personnel is top tier. He keeps you organized and makes sure you're prepared for upcoming events etc. 3. The owner did our CPR class , and he was so good. That I feel extremely confident in my ability to help someone in this type of incident. 4. The clinical portion is REAL, not made up scenarios. We were put in real life situations with real people. This will make you or break you and let you know if you're really cut out for this type of work. I am so glad that they did it this way. Everything you learn in the book. You will have in clinical, but in real time. So pay ATTENTION. In conclusion, I would attend this school , even if I had to travel. We literally had people who traveled everyday from another city to attend. It's worth it. If you have to get a hotel for a month. Do it ! The way they prepare you is priceless. It's worth every penny.

I hate this school. There is nothing good about this place. I do EVERYTHING early…read more * I submitted documents for the spring semester in November (the first week) and somehow couldn't attend until the third section started for spring. * I submitted new documents in May for the fall semester and was forced to drop all classes because none of the documents were processed in a timely manner. * I submitted financial aid documents a month before the spring semester began and I'm in week 10 of a 15 week program and still have yet to receive my financial aid. They even sent me an incorrect response saying I didn't qualify. Then they retracted it after I pointed out they were wrong saying an assistant director would fix it no later than end of day last Thursday. It's Monday - still not fixed. The people who work here are incompetent and complacent. Give it a try. Call ANY office and ask a question then write down the answer. Call back and ask a different person the exact question and you'll get a different answer. Now try it 15x and imagine being in a horrible situation where they are making it worse - the answers are NEVER the same. How this institution was able to be accredited is beyond me. This is literally the WORST school I've ever attended. They don't care if they negatively impact your life and they don't care about the student or their experience. This is only a fraction of my experience and I'm to the point where I'm about to start reporting them so their accreditation is challenged. I'm sick of it. Save yourself the heartache and find a quality school with qualified personnel.

These people deceived me. They advertised their program as requiring 14 to 16 hours a week. At best…read morethat's a pure fabrication of someone's mind. At worst it's a flagrant deception. I work a full time job. My first 100 level course in an area I already know much about through prior work experience and self-study had at least half the weeks requiring 20 to 25 hours a week for 8 weeks. That's three or more hours every day of the week. My second 100-level class has required me to do 23 to 30 hours a week. Estimated effort for the week is usually half of what you actually need to do if you want an A and do 100% of assigned work. UMGC officials give ridiculous responses when confronted with the truth of real hours. "The syllabus was available a week before." So what? Without doing the assignments which you can't access until class starts, you have no way of knowing how many hours. Also, your provided estimates of effort are no way near real effort needed. Someone just dreamt these estimates up. They aren't held accountable for misrepresenting effort. I'm no novice in this discipline and it's a heavy load for me. Can't imagine what these classes do to a real newbie. Or if 100 level class can take 30 hours for one week, what will a 200 or 300 level class take? Stay away from this torture chamber.

First, I am not writing this review to discourage anyone from learning CPR...it is a very important…read moreand lifesaving piece of knowledge to have and I encourage everyone to learn it. However, I just have to give a warning for those of you out there who are HEALTHCARE professionals looking for a renewal class. DO NOT take this class at this school, especially with the instructor Cathy!! I am sure outside of class that Cathy is a nice enough lady, but she was the worst instructor I had ever had and I have been taking CPR for HC professionals for years in various locations. Her teaching style leaves a lot to be desired as she uses public humiliation to get her point across. Case in point, she makes every participant demonstrate in front of everyone until she is satisfied with your technique. And if you can't get it right, she will chastise you in front of your peers. Furthermore, her class is INCREDIBLY too long - we began at 830am sharp and I did not leave her class until after 130pm...and I was one of the first to be done with my written skills test. I am just sorry for those who took longer to complete the test! Adding to the incredibly long class, she took 45 minutes in the beginning of class for housekeeping....."signature here, signature there, wash your hands, let us all introduce us to each other, blah...blah" The class room is also in a very claustrophobic location, the ceiling was so low that I could touch it (I'm 5'4") and it has no windows. We also had no breaks aside from one 5 minute break for water and granola bars - which she provided, which was nice of her. But to top it off, she did not have us watch the usual video from the American Heart Association as she claimed the "machine was broken." When one of my fellow students offered up his laptop to show the DVD, she refused. I think she just wanted to hear herself drone on and on. This class took up almost my entire Saturday and went at a snail's pace for all of us who have taken the class before (i.e. renewers). I can't recommend this class as it was not a good example of a AHA sponsored class that usually takes 3 hours, tops! Avoid if possible.

So don't arrive too early. The course is better as a renewal course than initial course, as I felt 2/5 students didn't get proper hand positioning or team dynamics during role play, yet they were never corrected properly. As a result, they continued to struggle with Bag masking, chest compression depth due to poor positioning, and still didn't understand how to properly switch compression and AED roles. BLS isn't hard but technique is the make or break and technique was not emphasized properly at all. Three stars because it got the job done. Easy parking. Cards emailed four hours later.
