Mr. Morales runs the program and is one of the most down to earth people I've ever met. Even after you graduate he still continues to follow up on you to make sure you're doing good. All the instructors are true professionals, especially Mr. Feletes. I loved this school so much I enrolled again to take automotive. If you're debating on coming here don't think about it... just DO IT! You won't regret it. DO NOT GO TO SCI-TX. I took HVAC there and that school is terrible. Shout out to Mrs. Ann Menchaca, Mrs. Leticia Garcia, and Ms. Vanessa Daniels - Fua

This is a very EXPENSIVE school! $87,000 for an accelerated program, 17 months, versus 20…read moremonths...not worth it. You will pay on a student loan for the rest of your working life! This is more than what it costs for a bachelor's degree at a 4 year college, and way more expensive than a 20 month (associate degree) at a local junior college! Imagine trying to pay off a student loan along with trying to make a living! A 2 year college would cost just under $10,000. Dental Hygiene for example growth outlook is only 7%, as many dentist only want to hire oart time and no benefits. $87,000 is not worth it. You might as well become a dentist if you're going to spend that much.

I went through homelessness, DV, my computers, I pads stolen... they provided me with a computer (Thanks miss Jean in the library)! Stacy, from Human Affairs... Nothing that can't happen! I needed a ride from the neighborhood I loved in to school. Hitched a ride with a classmate! All it took was some prayers and an email! Not to mention! She has the BEST PLANTS IVE EVER SEEN! A MUST SEE! Andrea Anyubeana, there isn't anything he won't do to help you succeed, you come across troubles in your studies, he's your man! Someone told me he's leaving Concorde, that's a shame as well! He's smart, works around ANY obstacles, and cares about the success of the students first and foremost! He's quick to fix his mistakes and come to you when he's made one. I don't know ANYONE that can carry the load of 3 different jobs as a director like he did! He should have put a cot in his office lol! Angela Ortiz! Hands DOWN! The BEST Instructor anyone can ask for! She had so much patience for the new people coming in, figuring it out, broke down vocabulary from medical terminology to laments terms, there was NEVER a stupid question in her classroom. She NEVER treated anyone ignorant or talked down on anyone. We had questions, she was quick to break down the answer. There was NEVER the answer "because that's how it is".... Other instructors there, I didn't receive the same experience. It's a shame it was her last class! She's AMAZING! Makes the best strawberry cake around y'all! Nancy Garcia !!!! Thanks for making my dreams come true! Giving me the grace and allowing me to present myself and be nothing else! And telling me it's a beautiful thing who I am and what I've done to change my life and make it better. Telling me my smile and spunk lights up the room! To NEVER LOOSE THAT! Giving me the courage to do things I NEVER thought would happen! To calmly draw blood is truly an art! You instructed me, guided me when I screwed up, and NEVER made me feel inadequate or told me I'll NEVER get it. Encouraging words and constructive criticism in such a way that was receivable and helpful. You're a beautiful representation of how a guidance counselor should be! You supersede it actually! Live your dreams lady! Keep it up as well! Thanks to all of you who supported my dreams and the life long legacy I will carry as long as I live! I love what I do and who I've become today! Concorde made it possible... all of it!

Forget it if your laptop decides to mess up you can't even continue on your mobile phone. I'm a stay at home mom and still could not keep up.

Yea all I can say is do your research before attending Southern Careers Institute. On a good note the staff was nice to me.

ACI Learning offered me a job as an instructor as I was progressing through their program. I was…read morethrilled. While I already held several certifications, I was there to update and exceed my prior knowledge and abilities. I was offered the opportunity to update the very entry level certifications as I began my tenure. I was already preparing the mock-lecture I would need to submit as a teaching candidate. Then this opportunity was snatched away with the send-off that I was unqualified. When I inquired further, I was summarily dismissed and told to come back when I had completed the qualification. I later discovered, by speaking directly to the hire, that the job was given to a white student. I cordially asked him to share his experience. He detailed the exact certifications I was told I needed, and had held for years. Finally, I asked this man, fresh into the industry and confronting the certifications for the 1st time, if he already had his certifications. To which he replied that he was allowed to complete them after taking the job. Naturally I saved every record of this interaction. This company is a bullshit organization, which, in addition to apparently being populated by racists, has no problem failing its promises in supporting a student, contrary to what was stated as their supporting role in my education. Calls and emails that went unanswered for weeks, repeated inquiries left unresolved with no follow-up, people who support you leaving the company with no announcement or handoff of the students they support, and their issues, to other staff .... But if half of what's claimed in the self-congratulatory jerk-circle on LinkedIn is true, then one bad review shouldn't matter anyway. Clearly the possibility of a bad report was not of importance when I needed aid.

Areej and Dabin were extremely helpful in guiding me through the student enrollment process. They were both friendly and informative and had the ability to answer all of my questions on the spot offering insight that this school was in fact the right decision for me. I felt extremely blessed to have Ms. D (Damaris) and Ms. Jeimy as my educators. Ms. D, my theory instructor was fun, informative and truly understands how people learn. By combining personal attention, inspirational teaching and a detailed course, I felt highly motivated in my confidence and desire to learn and grow. Ms. Jeimy was my technique instructor and worked along side me with a harmonious teaching style. She was extremely patient, informative and encouraged both my performance and confidence. Both of these instructors bring their passion, skills and real world experience with them to the classroom, focusing on passing their knowledge to their students. Thank you so much, I am forever grateful to you both! I also had the pleasure of getting to know Veronica and Sarah. Both enhancing the school with their positivity and kindness. I also want to give a special thanks to Ms. Sylvia who is the director of this school. She has gone above and beyond to assist me throughout my time during school and continues to do so even after graduating. The best schools not only offer great classes and teachers, but they also provide an abundant amount of support and guidance long after their educational program. Ms. Sylvia is a perfect example of this. To anyone who is interested in gaining the best education in an environment that feels like home, ALAI is the school for you!

I recently volunteered here as a model for a facial. It was such a great experience. Not only was I…read morepampered by Elise with a great facial (including serums, an exfoliation scrub, and a mask), but I received a fantastic upper body, face, and scalp massage. They also do other facial treatments with laser machines; hair and tattoo removal; cosmetic beauty treatments like makeup tattoos, microblading, lash extensions... and many other medical spa services. All of it is pretty new to me, I just signed up for a basic facial. Anyhow, I think it's really cool there is an aesthetics vocational institute like this in San Antonio. They are fairly new in San Antonio, established in 2019. Everyone I met was super nice and seemed knowledgeable. So if you're interested in their professional training or to sign up for a treatment, check them out.
