I got more out of Mary in the 1 1/2 hours I spent with her then I did in my previous (different instructor) 4 hour class as well as several previous shooting experiences.

As a prior student of "Fire eTraining", I can say without hesitation that Alan and his instructors have but together a quality product focusing on the needs of it's students. I was impressed so much by the quality of the course that I sought Alan out to seek employment with Fire eTraining. Lucky enough for me at that time Alan needed an instructor. Fast forward five years, I can say without hesitation that Alan still produces a quality product and still focuses on the needs of his students. It was a pleasure working with Alan, he always ensured we had a enjoyable and creative work environment but most of all treated us like and equal. He always listened to our ideas and encouraged us to raise the bar when teaching. read more

My daughter just completed the CNA class at the Fort Myers location…read more It was a terrible experience from the get go. She is a college junior with an intended nursing degree, so she thought getting her Nurse Aide certification while she was in Florida for the summer working an internship would be a beneficial way to spend her summer. I wish we had never paid for this class. For the amount of money charged, she should have gotten consistent education. Instead, she was taught different methods to complete the clinical tasks depending on whom was teaching the class. When the owner taught, she was taught the correct way. But he was only there for 1 or 2 days out of the week. The rest of the time, they were taught by someone who didn't teach them the correct way. Therefore, the next class at which the owner was present, they would be taught all over again using a different method. This was very confusing for the students. The day before the test to pass the class, they were learning NEW skills. Additionally, for the cost of the class and considering the job for which they are preparing, there SHOULD have been hands on clinical practice with real people. At orientation they were told they would be doing clinicals at a nursing home. Instead, they were given the option to stay and work only on a mannequin since that is what they will use to pass the test. Of course, that is what the class chose, so they never touched a real live person and only did clinicals on an 80 pound mannequin. I don't think they should have been given the option to not practice on humans.Instead, they never touched a real live person and only did clinicals on an 80 pound mannequin. Not very preparatory for the real world. Out of the 8 people in the class, my daughter was the only one to actually pass the clinical portion in order to pass the class. Passing the class is required in order to schedule the state exam. My daughter is only in Florida for the summer and was assured that she would be able to test with the state before she left in Mid August because she passed the test for the class the first time. Instead, here we are two weeks later and she only just received her invitation to be fingerprinted today (after showing up at the facility and demanding that someone DO something!). The fingerprint invitation should have been sent the day or day after she passed her class. She is supposed to be flying back to PA on Friday. We will have to fly her BACK to Florida to take the certification exam with the state, but by that time it will have been 6 weeks since she finished the class and her skills will be rusty to say the least. My mother taught nurse aides for decades and certified them here in PA. Perhaps things are done differently in Florida, but the education and experience was far inferior to the education received in PA. Perhaps that is also why the state of PA will not accept her training there to take the certification exam here. We are out $850+ for a worthless class that taught her little and ended with no state certification because of a lack of consistent education and care by those that run the program. Also if only 1/8 people pass the class the first time, something is wrong. We are lucky my daughter passed, I guess. Disappointed is an understatement. Buyer beware.

Let's start with how everything is practically still brand new. As a relatively young college all the buildings and classrooms are top notch and new. As someone who went to a college that has been around much longer, FGCU has the nicest facilities I've seen. And that's not just for the student athletes or the privileged, that is for everyone. You also have a private beach on campus with a boat for rent. Once again something that is almost unparalleled with other college campuses. Next you have the unique location of being sandwiched between two amazing cities, Forty Myers and Naples. The amount of money has such an impact on the surrounding areas it's amazing. Everywhere you go you have the best shopping and dining anyone could possibly ask for. All within 15 minutes of campus and everywhere is pretty much a friendly neighborhood. Lastly the academics here are getting better and will continue to improve. FGCU is still young and relatively easy compared to other big schools but I'm sure this will change in the coming years. This is a unique college with a pretty awesome experience waiting for someone to come give it a whirl.
