My son started there when the school first opened. I love her enthusiasm, structure, and play-based ideas. She also does really fun science experiments throughout the year. The yard where the school is has an AMAZING garden and my son has learned some valuable gardening skills as a side bonus. No complaints here! Love the school and love what changes I have seen in my son since he started.

If you are thinking about traveling to attend United Bicycle Institute, pause and seriously…read morereconsider. Many students come from out of state and spend real money on flights, lodging, food, and time away from work. Based on my experience, this program is NOT worth that investment. I would NOT recommend spending your time or money here. The learning environment did not feel professional or inclusive. I experienced repeated dismissive behavior from an instructor, Peter Branson, including being addressed in ways I had clearly asked him not to use. I felt singled out and criticized rather than supported as a student. When I raised these concerns with management, the response minimized the issue instead of taking it seriously. If you are LGBTQIA + or simply want a respectful, psychologically safe place to learn, this is NOT it. The instruction quality also did not justify the cost. - Much of the class time involved reading manuals independently with limited structured teaching. - Instructors frequently focused on servicing private clients' bikes rather than actively coaching students. For the tuition and certification fees being charged, I expected far more hands on training, guidance, and accountability. Overall, this felt like an expensive and disappointing experience. There are better, more welcoming, and more practical ways to learn bike mechanics. Save your travel costs and choose a program that truly values students and provides real instruction.

I took the 2 week professional course and loved it. The curriculum has been refined for 30…read moresomething years, and you can tell. From 8-5 M-F for two weeks, you talk about a subject and then you get to do the associated "hands-on" activity (ie taking apart a hub, then putting it back together), usually with your daily bench partner (changes each day). By the end, you've covered most parts of the most common types of bikes. And, you get to take a 5-lb textbook home, so you can reference the "how-to" section later. I didn't take this class to get a job in the bike industry; I am more of a home mechanic who felt confused and overwhelmed with a million questions, and now I feel satiated. I can better judge whether a Craigslist part might work on my bike, I could take care of a lot of during-ride mechanicals or at least know where to start, and I can overhaul my own bike. There were three teachers; usually one lectured and then all three would walk around during the hands on practice session to answer questions, correct us, and sign off on our work. This was very satisfying after having spent many hours in bike kitchens or similar where there aren't enough people to answer or explain. Here, they really *want* to answer your question and will give you a lengthy explanation. They were all patient, kind, encouraging and knowledgeable people who both knew not only bikes but how to teach. Everything is open-book and basically everything done is for the point of learning and getting better, not competitively. If regular school were more like Bike School, the world would be a better place! Access info: - Spring was a great time to come. If you are sensitive to wildfire smoke, I hear most summers are (now) smokey. - 10-min breaks more or less every hour, and a 1 hour lunch in the middle of the day - They ask for pronouns at the beginning with your name. I can't say most people minded them, but if reminded to I believe they would. - The ratio of men to non-men is very high, and sometimes as bench partners the men may not share the work enough or explain things when you don't want them to. Let this be a warning, or, something to be mindful of. - If you want to ride in town while there (cheaply), you can go to Get-N-Gear and buy one (it may be crappy) and then often sell it back to them at the end - tip from the owner! - It really helped me to read the relevant chapter(s) before the class, so that I would have more context. Highly recommend for those who may not have a lot of experience. - If you are not super fast, you will probably have to stay for the late nights at least one time to finish building your wheels, so schedule around that - You will be very tired at the end of the day and end of the week; I considered camping and am glad I did not. - There is a pass-fail test on a computer at the end; bring your own computer to Ashland if that helps you do testing better as they'll let you take it on yours (as of this date). If you have some sort of recorded disability, it's not an easy test; consider talking to them if you need accommodations.

I reached out to this company because they offered weekend and evening classes which would be perfect so I could continue with my current Full-Time job. I completed the online application, and after about 3 weeks, I attempted to contacted them because I hadn't heard anything back. I called and left a voicemail, because they typically don't answer phone calls either. After several days went by, and no return call, I called again and left another voicemail. Still nothing. I then sent an email, and Cathy responded on a Friday evening. She was apologetic that my calls hadn't been returned and assured me someone would contact me the following Monday morning. Monday came and went, no return call. I finally received a call back on Wednesday. On Wednesday, when I spoke with the company, I was told to go onto the DMV website to get my driver record and submit. Once I submit the records I would be contacted for a follow up to let me know everything was received, what I needed to do next, and when the next class would begin. That was 3 weeks ago. Haven't heard back from them since. I turned my driving record into them the same day they requested it, and it was a clean record. I have sent them two additional emails to make sure everything was received on their end from me, and to receive an update when class would begin so I could make sure to prepare my schedule/appointments/vacations. I also wanted to make sure I didn't have to scramble last minute to locate any further documentation they needed. Again.... no response. I don't think I have ever had to work this hard to pay someone $5,000. I feel like I am chasing a company down to offer my business. I'm not sure if they're extremely shorthanded or if they have quit CDL training. Nonetheless, does this sound like a company that will offer you support as you strive to learn a new industry? Meanwhile, the other company, which I won't name because I'm not here to promote anyone has reached out to me several times to see if I would like to enroll in their courses. Only reason I didn't go with the better company is because they currently don't offer evening and weekend classes. This experience with Aisling Truck Academy has made me lose interest all together because it has been such a hassle. If you do decide to go with this company, be prepared to be ignored and disregarded!

Our daughter attended this studio with her friend who's mom is a dance instructor here... she absolutely loves her dance instructor and spent months working on her dance, even putting other activities she loves on hold to dedicate her time. The day of her performance, i dropped her off with her instructor and just a few short hours later she called me crying saying that the stage manager, Kelly Osbourne was so rude and was making other kids cry by yelling at them and forcing them to stay in small rooms where the heat was unbearable. My daughter told me that the heat was getting to her and I told her to leaving the building to get fresh air but she said she was terrified that Kelly would yell at her and she just wanted me to come get her. I encouraged her to stick it out since she had worked so hard. In talking to other adults that were there, I learned that another member also needed air do to some breathing issues and when she stepped towards a door for air she was accosted by Kelly telling her to get backstage, even stomping her foot at her and saying "I said NOW".... This was told to an ADULT!!! I can not imagine just how she was treating our children if she was speaking to an adult with breathing issues like this. This was my daughters first experience with dance and I know this will be her last due to the experience she endured here. I would NOT by any means recommend this studio to ANYONE especially those with young children.
