I was a student at happy pets academy in Stark county Ohio. I came all the way from Georgia. In my…read moreopinion I must say this is the worst experience I've ever had in looking for a dog grooming school. First of all I found out later that the teacher had no working equipment to groom dogs. The bathroom was so severe that I had to go across the street to use the bathroom. This so called school in my opinion was so filthy and smelled so bad. I don't know why I even stayed as long as I did. The first day we had no dogs to groom and the smell was overwhelming. She proceeded to give me old equipment that was all broken. That day all she did was yell at the kennel girl who actually quit a week after I was there. The proceeding day we didn't groom dogs again. She did have kennel dogs because she also boards dogs as well but, I could not groom them. I sat all day and looked at her and read magazines. The only thing I learned was to cut toe nails and feet. I am a left handed person and she told I "had to be a right hand groomer" because she had no left handed scissors. She talks about every school and says terrible things so you will go to her school. She says that you cannot learn to groom dogs in two weeks just to have you come to her school. She doesn't realize that you can learn to groom at 80 clock hours if you have the right teacher who knows how to teach professional dog grooming. First of all this school is not even licensed through the board of career colleges and schools. In my opinion she knows nothing about teaching anyone about dog grooming. She is not a teacher. If you don't believe me just stop in her shop. If you leave your dog there for boarding. Please go to see the shop FIRST so you could see where your fur-babies are being held. She never seems to want to show anyone the back. You will be very surprised at how disappointing and filthy the shop truly is. When you choose a school from what I just learned get references and make sure that the teacher is state licensed and has taught for many year. Check out your school first! I came up here for a positive experience and I found it very disappointing. I hope this doesn't happen to anyone else. Thank you for reading this.

I participated in the January 2014 Java cohort. This decision has changed my life beyond my…read moreexpectations. As a former arts instructor, writer, business owner, and stay-at-home mom, I wanted to make web development my career and learn everything I could, but was frustrated with my attempts to learn on my own. When I discovered SWC Guild, I was attracted by the idea of a practical, immersive learning experience and decided to give it my all. Although it was one of the newer bootcamps out there, I was impressed with the backgrounds and experiences of Eric Wise and Eric Ward. I knew I could learn a lot from them. While their teaching styles are very different, both are effective, excellent communicators. They are both extremely accessible and will do whatever they can to help their students master a concept and ultimately, to succeed.  After the cohort ends, I had plans to return to my home of Columbus, Ohio. Knowing this, Eric Wise was up front about the fact that their hiring network is strong in Cleveland, but I would be a little more on my own searching in Columbus. While this has proven to be true, Eric Ward does have contacts in Columbus and has made every effort to utilize those on behalf of myself and one other participant who is also focusing his job search in Columbus. It turns out, I didn't need help as I have had many interviews and just received my first job offer in week 11. Based on my recruiter's feedback from another recent interview, there's a strong possibility I will receive a second offer before the end of this week.  Throughout the job-search process, interviewers have been highly impressed with my technical knowledge--and I knew virtually nothing about programming eleven weeks ago. One recruiter just told me today: "I don't know how much it cost to go through that program, but it's worth 10 times whatever you paid." I strongly agree. While nearly all of the other bootcamps out there focus on Ruby, a quick internet search showed me that in Columbus, there are around 400 Java jobs available and another 390 C#/.NET jobs. There are only around 65 Ruby jobs. There is a tremendous shortage of talented Java and .NET developers in the industry and while Ruby may be the sexiest new thing, it's not the most in demand. While most of my review has focused on the employability of SWC Guild graduates, I want to stress that this program is not to be taken lightly. It is grueling. There is an aptitude test required to get in. The description "like drinking from a fire hose" is very accurate. You must be comfortable with feeling overwhelmed and overworked. It is not a quick ticket to a better, higher-paying job. You must have a passion for learning and for the subject matter. Of the participants in the two winter cohorts, several had left careers with six-figure incomes to learn software development because they love doing this. In closing, I had two additional concerns: ageism and sexism in the software development industry. I am in my forties and I am female. While the general consensus of women in IT is that ageism exists, it has not affected me at all. If anything, employers see my experience as a strongly positive factor in their hiring decision. I haven't seen even a hint of sexism. These twelve weeks have changed my life. It was extremely difficult to leave my husband and family to live in another city for twelve weeks, only coming home on the weekends, and always working through the weekends even though I was physically at home.  There was stress and sacrifice. It's definitely not sustainable in the long term. Still, it's only twelve weeks. Was it worth it? Definitely.

I can't really tell you much about this school since I'm a guy but I've heard a lot from my friends…read moreand I think I can shed more light on the place than some 7th grade lesbian who uses words like, 'h***hole.' This is a school for smart kids who take their education seriously. They want to go to elite schools when they graduate and are willing to forego a lot of the high school fun to get a real education. This is the kind of place where there are no hall passes and attendance is a given. There aren't any bells ringing and the class sizes are small. Everyone does their homework because it matters. The school is surprisingly liberal for a Catholic school. They focus a lot on things like social justice and community service. Kids wore their Obama buttons to class and worked for progressive candidates. It is not a bad place. Don't listen to some Atlanta wobbly-puss who flunked out in the 7th grade and has carried a chip on her shoulder all the way to some grad school. She made out with some teacher's daughter? Are you kidding me? The Elms isn't the typical Catholic school just because somebody gave her a bad grade 15 years ago.

I had never been to a large church before visiting First Christian and I had wondered if I would feel out of place. Now I know that the size and style of a church doesn't matter nearly as much as the content of their sermons. First Christian has many effective teachers on staff. They teach from the bible, and they do it in a way that ties scripture to the challenges that many Christians are facing today. Ryan Rasmussen is the church's new pastor. I've heard a few of his sermons now and it's clear to me that he is a powerful leader who packs a lot of genuine excitement into his sermons. I would recommend this church to anyone in any demographic. I can especially see how non-Christians and young individuals would feel comfortable here. In case anyone is wondering, I hold no position at the church. I am simply a guy who has attended First Christian for 2 years now and has enjoyed the experience of growing closer to God.
