    The material learned in the 8 week class was interesting and should be helpful out in the field…read more The best part of the classes is the opportunity to learn how to draw blood correctly and we were given plenty of time to do so. The academy fired our instructor with only one class left in the 8 weeks, which was extremely disruptive to our progress. Regardless of their reasons for firing him (which they shared with the students), I think they should have waited to let him go after our sessions were completed. We were left to review the material and take our final with a completely new instructor. I would not recommend this facility for phlebotomy training because I found them to be very rigid to work with and not flexible with student's schedules. I also think they are expensive compared to other facilities. The most important piece of training is a great instructor and Aplmed let an incredible instructor go.

    I would not recommend this school based on my personal experience and observations. I have concerns…read moreregarding the institution's priorities, leadership practices, and overall commitment to student success. Additionally, I had concerns about the owner's professional conduct and behavior, which I felt did not reflect the standards expected of an educational institution. I also became aware of concerns raised by some staff members regarding compensation practices, including reports that some employees may have received payments without standard tax withholdings being applied. These concerns should be reviewed and addressed appropriately to ensure compliance with employment and payroll requirements. I encourage prospective students to conduct thorough research, including reviewing accreditation, certification recognition, student outcomes, employment opportunities, and the overall reputation of the school before making an enrollment decision.

    As a prelude, I'd like to say that I finished my associates degree through Westwood College in…read moreDecember of 2003. I was taken in by the orientation BS about how jobs would be a plenty by the time we graduated. I did not get my first graphic design job until 2006. Between those three years, Westwood helped me one time directly to find something in my area of expertise. Obviously, Westwood cannot control the ebb and flow of the economy, but they can be more practical and stop trying to sell their courses to naive students with a helping of bullshit. As of now, I am enrolled in a bachelor's degree for web design and multimedia. The online sessions are convenient, but because financial aid charges you more to participate in part time classes, I chose to go full time foolishly believing the curriculum would be formulated for people with full time jobs and families. This was not the case and is my first gripe with this program: 1. Online Degree: If you're going to market the convenience of an online degree, at least respect your clients to the point of making it so the classes can be completed during a 40 hour work week. Some of us do not have time to read through 300+ pages spread between three classes with homework and discussion posts, and still get a decent grade. These were also not for core classes, which are more important than general education, which brings me to my next point... 2. Lack of Choice: I could not choose which general education classes to take. This akin to buying an album off of Itunes and then Itunes telling you which songs they're deciding to give you with the album. Westwood gets plenty of money to be able to offer students more of a choice in which classes they want to take. 3. General Education: The Gen Ed classes available from this program are horrendous. If I'm taking a bachelor's degree program, I know what I want to focus on, but classes like "science fiction", "statistics" and "public speaking" do not help me in my development of my graphic and web design skill sets, and the fact that these classes include workloads that match or outdo the core classes lead sme to believe Westwood is stuffing their programs with unnecessary classes in order to charge students more money. 4. Curriculum: The curriculum recently changed, however, I have no idea if they've updated their outdated methods of teaching. For example, CMS platforms like drupal, wordpress and joomla are quickly becoming key elements for a lot of businesses, yet none of my core classes taught any aspect of these besides a discussion of what is the best CMS to use for a client. Even considering the fact that these are built upon languages such as PHP, these classes do not teach students how to use these languages. In conclusion, I went into the program thinking I would learn something. I learned most from my Digital Photography class and maybe a few others, yet everything else felt like a waste of time and money. So for the TL;DR version: Don't do the Web Design and Multimedia program, find a community college and take classes that don't waste your time and money like Westwood does.

    This place is a joke. Having to take "basic" courses that have no association with what you are…read moregoing to school for. A con game. The courses I did need to take were taught by "professionals" who were very low in what they were teaching. From the "teacher" who wore the same clothes on Friday night and Saturday classes, to the "teacher" who left the blackboard full of correct answers during tests. Run, do not walk, RUN!!! My husband went there and graduated. He was laid off almost 2 years ago. Westwood says they will help you find jobs. He asked for their help and no help was offered.
