AVOID THIS SCHOOOL!!!…read more I first went to this school in 2019. I ended up failing (100% on me) I figured hey it was a great school Im going to focus on a little but more and really go after it ! I enrolled again in Summer of 2023, and figured hey ill also take my wife with me. Long story short we get done with ALL the hours. The videos online that Pat does are from 4-5 YRS ago! We noticed that when the books were completely off to what Pat was saying in the video ! And if you look closely at the videos on the bottom right I believe they were from 2020. We contacted them about it and said its all correct but alot of errors on the book. The questions on their quiz don't always match the questions and answers on the book. Did the market not change between 2020 until now dramatically ? They stress "Call us if you need help, or with questions. But when you do Pat and Dave get very defensive. Not only that they take days to get back to you. And finally get to the final. I reach out to the front office (Debbie) and she's reading my old file from 2019, which I was very confused about. And whenever we would have a question she would say "let me connect you with Dave" and he would send me to vm. Mind you I did it online this time as well so maybe there was a little bit of confusion on their system. After the 168 ours were done it was test time and they told both of us that "We only had one time to pass BOTH" They said because we were passed the expiration date? They would be "nice " and give us a discount so we would have to pay $300 dollars each after just paying them $1400. Wouldn't ever recommend and wont ever recommend! They set you up to fail so you can sign up again and pay them again! Thier stats on how good and their passing rate is misleading. They take all of their students who actually passed THIER test and PSI then count that. They dont mention anything about the percentage that actually dont pass at all. IF we would have known we were one and done with testing we would have gone with Kaplan or ACRE or just another school! Hopefully help future RE agents out when looking into their future school.

Just finished Metalsmithing II and love this school. This is the most professionally run business…read morein the world of art classes I have ever experienced. Everything about the school is organized, ordered and first-class, especially the instruction. (Re: the negative review: It's not called attitude when it's true accomplishment. This is so rare that amateurs can't recognize it.) For the investment in the class fee + tools/supplies, I appreciated having such a structured environment in which to learn. Darlene Armstrong, owner/artist/teacher emeritus, has a definite point of view about craftsmanship. And, yes, it is her way or the highway. But who wants to take a class from a teacher who always says, "Sure,you can do it that way if you want; it's your art," when you don't know what the hell you're doing?? So if you are not a serious student of metal work or are just looking for something fun to waste a few hours, don't waste your time/$$ or the school's. But if you want to get better with your art (and learn how to make pieces that are commercially viable), this is the place to learn it the way all apprentices used to--doing it over and over till you get it right. I have been on an ongoing quest for good metalsmithing instruction for the past 10 years and use my vacation time to travel around the country taking classes. On a scale of 1 - 10, I've taken classes that were advertised as 10s that were barely 3s (one last year by a "name" artist who hated to, thus couldn't, teach.). I've also taken classes that I'd rate as 7-8 because they were super fun, but not all that special in my goal to "further my art." DSMA is an 11 because it hit the mark on excellent instruction, excellent venue, excellent design selection (ie., we worked on pieces you'd actually want to wear in real life). This is the only course I have taken in 10 years that had a teaching assistant because there were 11 of us in class (a large number for learning anything with a torch.) That told me that Darlene really cared that every student maximized her knowledge. In fact, Mary Ann was a great bonus to have, because besides the teacher, you always learn from other students who are better than you. Frankly, I over-estimated my own ability, based on my past experience with mediocre teachers. If it hadn't been for Mary Ann, I would have been left behind (something that Darlene did try to emphasize to me before I registered). Part of how I judge the success of my class experience is whether I am inspired to continue to the next level. With Metalsmithing II I was inspired to lower my self-assessment and go back to Metalsmithing I...with DSMA. Sort of a "not knowing what I didn't know." I love that. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is because I felt I was not well enough prepared for the teacher's expectations ahead of time. It was a big personal value of Darlene's that everyone show up on time and come prepared. I suppose it was up to me to ask more questions about what to expect (and Jennifer who handles all the admin did a super job of sending me tool lists and answering the questions I did have). But when you are from out of town with no prior experience with the teacher or school policies that are so specific, I would have benefited from more of a walk-thru in advance. A simple page on the website of "What To Expect if This Is Your First Class" would have helped. Or a checklist for out of towners, too, like where to stay, how to order lunches, starting/ending studio times, etc. For ex., at other multi-day workshops, lunch is usually provided or easy to procure. Because the school is in a business park in an industrial area, there are no good options for lunch to be ordered over the weekend, and everyone is on their own. I had to spend a lot of time figuring out how to find my own food for lunch (without a car), until Darlene recommended Whole Foods. The lovely people at the Hilton/Doubletree Westminster happily accommodated a quick stop for me with their free shuttle service. But had I known that ahead of time, I could have made those arrangements at the same time I set up the shuttle service, and had one less thing to worry about in an unfamiliar city. Not sure if DSMA wants more out of town students, but, if so, more hospitality would mean a lot. I know I'm not the only traveling class taker. That's an easy fix, tho, and so I highly recommend this school.

Hello Future Student,…read more I am truly grateful and completely fortunate to have been a part of the beautiful experience that South Denver School of Nursing Arts provides for all students. I have always known that I wanted to be in the medical field; although, I had been missing personal confidence my entire life. This school has given me so much confidence that I can barely recognize myself. First, I would like to thank Whitney for always being there every single time I called for help through the enrollment process, untill the day I collected my certificate. I honestly can't express my appreciation enough. Whitney is the complete definitions of empathy, kindness, fantastic work ethic, and professionalism. I have never met a more inspirational woman in my life who believes in all of her students more than they even can articulate. Second, I would like to thank Joy for being the greatest instructor I have ever had. I can't imagine passing this class without her. The heartwarming experiences she has shared during class will be forever be held in our hearts, and memories as lessons understood. Joy is a beautiful soul here to truly help others. Joy never fails and insures high standards are set for all her students. Which will navigate them in the right direction, so they can succeed in life. She is a wonderful nurse and I hope to be like her one day. Lastly, I would like to thank my classmates for being so respectful, kind and supportive. Without you I wouldn't believe in myself as I do today, so thank you! Please If you are reading this and considering becoming a student at SDSNA. Take the step forward, because It will be the best decision you will ever make for your future. Thank you South Denver School of Nursing Arts and staff, -Jackie
