I do not recommend IBMC Greeley for any program yet alone the paralegal program they offer. The paralegal program seriously lacks support, structure, and proper oversight. It needs a full review and overhaul. The school's director, Darla, and Chad are dismissive and defensive when students try to bring up concerns. Rather than addressing issues or showing leadership, they act like accountability is an attack. The school is terrible at communication. Class schedules change with no warning, especially for night students. No clear information is given about graduation, class standards, or even who is teaching what class. It's unprofessional and frustrating. IBMC Greeley talks a big game, but they don't deliver. I would not recommend this program to anyone looking to actually grow and succeed in the legal field. read more

DO NOT get color services at this college. I was told the students doing the color were advanced and at the top of the class. That's not true at all. The girl who did my highlights had no clue what she was doing. She did have a teacher there with her but she seemed to know even less. My hair is a disaster to say the least and an actual colorist is going to have to fix it. Most of the students were spending their time drawing on their mirrors and not actually doing anything hair or class related. There was even a girl wearing a vest that showed a woman sucking on Satan's finger. It was very disturbing and not appropriate for the environment. After leaving my my hair disaster, I did some research on the college and they only have a 56% graduation rate. I can't imagine why. Stay away read more

I attended IBMC starting June of 2023. Since the beginning me and my class as a whole experienced our teacher quitting in the middle of our school year. Not only causing drama within our school, but we all realized our teacher wasn't teaching us what we were supposed to be learning. We all got handed a book while our teacher sat in the corner of the room gossiping and talking. We were in our senior session barely doing freshmen work. I can truly speak for me and my class and agree we didn't learn anything. Since these unfortunate circumstances happened, we asked if there could be reimbursements or even extended classes/education that we can get to make up for all the time we lost when we could have been learning. Nothing was done or given. As for the rest of the school year, Keona stepped in and saved us! She went above and beyond. I could see she genuinely cared and wanted us to learn. My experience wasn't good and it's unfortunate that it went the way that it did. As for the other staff, Deb was very unprofessional and extremely hard to approach. For example, our school shares materials such as cotton balls, q-tips etc, we share these items with all programs. I went in the cabinet while Ms.Deb was in the classroom (with no on in there) and she told me that those materials didn't belong to me and i wasn't allowed to use such items. She said this with an attitude. This has happened more than once so it came to a point where i would stop using there supplies and i would use my own. Even after graduating, i feel like i still struggle with most things because i wasn't educated. I would not recommend this school to anyone! Regarding the school and equipment, items are cheap, facial steamers and equipment never worked. Stains on all the sheets and blankets! read more

IBMC at first glance seems like a brand new, fun, family centered, schooling experience, but after you sign the papers, you sold your soul to the devil. Once you start of course everything is fresh and new but after about two hours, or two weeks, or two months even in, the COSMETOLOGY PROGRAM will show its real colors, not only the STAFF AND THE INSTRUCTORS BUT THE DEAN. I went to the FORT COLLINS AND GREELEY program. Not only switching from FOCO to GREELEY because it was closer and more convenient from my home, but because the STAFF AND INSTRUCTORS blow you off like a fly. They don't take anything seriously and are CONSTANTLY rolling through INSTRUCTORS because no one stays. When I went to FOCO the INSTRUCTORS would rather gossip with their favorite group of students then sign our sheet and literally do the job they were hired for. The GREELEY INSTRUCTORS were a little different I wasn't there for very long, which should tell you something. LOTS of drama between INSTRUCTORS AND STAFF, but yet THEY graded us on OUR "professionalism." The last straw was pulled when I FINALLY had my Mom come in as a client to the school, which was very exciting as she had attended this school and same campus when she got a degree there a few years back, having my mom there for the first time since I started school which was like 9 months was really exciting to me. We went to then go talk to the DEAN OF GREELEY and that's truly where I went "wait what is my mom paying for?" My mom had, had a small seizure while driving to come to my school on this day (shes epileptic but it's been dormant for quite a few years) and anyone who's knows anything knows that's unsafe. So I went to talk to the DEAN about some questions/concerns that I had, and I had my mom there so I knew she would fill in all the spots I left out. The DEAN immediately shut it down and told me that she had an interview in FIVE MINUTES and couldn't talk, that's fine okay, whatever. So I tried to talk as fast as I could and get out as much as I could in the time allotted and noy was I not ready for what came next. My DEAN showed her true, unprofessional, lack of skill, and talked to me like another young (teenage girl that has an attitude, you get the picture) girl and told me over and over that what I was talking about all depended on circumstance. She came at me hard and it was astonishing to see it live for the first time, as a young adult. I over came her negative and rude/demanding tone. I came back at her with questions trying to hold back the tears that I was holding back due to the fact that she didn't listen. She didn't hear me, but yet all she told me was "it's all about circumstances." Well this is turning into a bad circumstance... She said she had to get to her meeting and basically shut her door on us. The next day my mom and I had decided it was best that, I unenroll from IBMC. When I had gone in, I had explained some MEDICAL things like therapy and went out on a limb and even told this member of the STAFF about something I don't share. Going to therapy is hard, explaining why is harder but I told him I was in therapy and he tried talk me into just withdrawals for a session and then coming back, but after someone showed me that, as a 19 year old (atm) adults aren't nice or care or even give a f**k about their job, let alone what that entitles at that job, anyone in any profession can lack something, and a fuel to do it in a professional, positive matter, just isn't in some people's books. After I had signed the paperwork to withdrawal, the DEAN caught me there and while I had wished I wouldn't have seen her at all, she chased me to my car and wouldn't take "no you didn't care or listen, or do your job that I pay for by the way when you needed to and now that's your problem, I'm done" as an answer and literally as I paced to my car as fast as I could she somehow kept up and thought that it was once again "professional" to do that. As I told her the last time that she didn't deserve my money as she didn't do her job, I shut my car door and left as soon as possible. I was hoping it would stop there, but it didn't. I am currently in the process of transferring to a new school in LOVELAND and after my mom had emailed the guy at the GREELEY campus that I told that I was in therapy, he emailed my mom this email, I'm only attaching one picture atm. The email was his ripping me to shreds the whole time, in the second paragraph you will get a glimpse at what the IBMC COLLEGE STAFF AND INSTRUCTORS think is acceptable and it's not. Please DO NOT ATTEND THE COSMETOLOGY program, it's a waste of money and you could go somewhere else where you can wear different clothes, not be held against for missing hours, your staff and teachers actually care about your career path, and ultimately somewhere that doesn't tear you down when you're starting a new path in life. read more

IBMC College Greeley - the second paragraph is an insight to how the staff applies themselves to the "Professionalism" rule/what we were graded on (the irony) - Colleges & Universities Near Me - Greeley, Colorado

I really needed my hair colored and it just so happened that I was going to be in Greeley this particular day (with extra time) and they were so kind to accommodate me. WOW - what a beautiful facility! It truly didn't seem like a school - it seemed more like a full service speciality salon. I needed a color badly but before the instructor and student just jumped into bleaching my hair they actually cut off a strand and tested it. While it was processing I had my eyebrows waxed...it was literally a peaceful experience. Yeah, right, no seriously. Quiet, dark relaxing room. After the waxing the student doing my color came back with bad news about continuing to bleach my hair and she nicely said that it just would work for me and they couldn't do it. WHAT? Anyhow, she quickly had a solution. Bottomline; what she did turned out amazing - something I would have never thought of. I have gotten so many compliments. The only drawback is that I did call back and ask them to send me the colors that the student use and its been a week and I still have no email with those colors. Nevertheless, that's trival compared to the wonderful experience and results. I would recommend this school to anyone looking for a new career or to be pampered with their many services because the instructors were hands on, professional and not afraid to listen to their students ideas and then carefully supervise their progress. Thanks!!! read more

First walking into this I was nervous going to the esthetician evening program, but Chelsea one of the night instructor made me feel at home and always acknowledge all of her night students. Helping with everything and took the time to make us understand the workbook and hands on material. Now that she is gone nights have become a shit show! It was a shit show before I should of mentioned, but Chelsea made it so we as her night students don't feel discouraged it's well known the day esties get everything they even get two big rooms and get to label their equipment stating room 203/205 I'm like uhhhh ok! aren't we all paying for the same equipment to be used by every single individual? Nope that's not the case we are treated differently and it shows! Chelsea had everything organized for us and now we're all back to square one lost, confuse, stressed and feeling not being heard. Many times we would complain to the director and nothing happens of course. Also to mention evening classes are part time we are not full time students like the day Estheticians as part timers we don't have much time to get things done like they do a 5 hour class time vs an 8 hour shift it's ridiculous! It's sad that I have to suck it up and finish my program cus I'm almost done I wanted this experience to be a good one, but it's turning out to be miserable I just have to finish strong. I do not recommend coming here everyone is flaky all about show. Equipment are always breaking instead of ordering a new one they rather just by a replace part. All the money spent isn't showing for its word of mouth. When we need to get product to work on each other or a client the instructor is looking over our shoulder like we're some criminals! Micro managing to a T it's ridiculous! We're adults not toddlers! Cabinets need to be locked all the time like come on we're not kids! Can't believe that's what I'm paying for to be treated like a kid. No trust what so ever! read more

I went to the student hair salon about 2 weeks ago and asked for "natural highlights" in my dark blonde curly hair. The student basically foiled 75% of my hair (I thought she was just doing a very fine weave of foil for that natural look - she wasn't, she was coloring most of my hair!!!!) and the color was absolutely AWFUL - yellow/orange, rusty goldish tinge. I'm usually very tolerant and patient and I couldn't help but say "this looks AWFUL - please go get your teacher". The teacher (who was supposed to be supervising the whole process and, obviously, wasn't) tried to appease me with a "let's see how it looks once we brush it out and dry it. She finally agreed that it was "a bit harsh" and offered to use a toner on it. The toner helped, but it still sucks. The teacher told me that she thought it was fine and tried to blame the "harsh lighting". When I still wasn't too pleased, she told me to "live in it for a while to get used to it and let the color settle in". Well, two weeks later and it still sucks. I've gone to student salons and had foil highlights done for 20+ years and this is the worst experience I've ever encountered. The student was clueless, very slow (I was there 6 hours!), unsupervised, and the teacher was completely apathetic and unprofessional. To top it off, neither the student nor the teacher even knew how to appropriately brush/comb out naturally curly hair - I had to do it myself for them! TERRIBLE STUDENT SALON. read more
