I took this course on recommendation from a friend who had taken it and liked it a few years ago…read more It was a weekday course and there were only 4 other people in it. You get the course materials but have to return the problem set book at the end of the course because it is proprietary to them and they don't have any online tests besides the pre-assessment to give you. The teacher was a nice guy but he just read to us the whole time. Based on my friend's experience I was expecting there to be support and guidance on memorizing the common items and drills and quizzes. There were just short quizzes and we only went over items if someone wanted to not in general. On the last day we took the assessment test. The guy teaching the class was in the room and fell asleep. He started snoring and we just had to continue on. Recently I ended up taking another in person course that was cheaper, gave me all the materials and had great online tests and resources and I passed without issue. I wouldn't recommend this course to anyone - save your time and your money (this course is very expensive) and either look at other in person courses (there are other really good ones around) or find something online depending on your learning style.

A word of caution to anyone choosing a training partner: Be wary of a company that tells you up…read morefront you will have access to a course for free upon completion of their course, but then says you must submit a Yelp review before they will grant you access.! My previous review was written solely to gain access to the free course that was promised. What I didn't know at the time was that access to the course was restricted to an arbitrary 60 day window. When I asked if that window could be extended, I was told it would cost $99 for a 30 day extension. Rita responds to queries quickly while you are arranging payment, but once you have paid, be prepared to go to the back of the line. Although the test bank of questions offered by PMTI are top notch, PMTI will require you to return the book (that you paid for) to them at the end of the 4 day boot camp out of fear you may post it online! Very trusting. There are better companies out there to cram PMP material into your brain.

She covers exactly what is on the test, and nothing more (which is a good thing). It is imperative that you attended the classes and be attentive.

This program is a joke and scam. Unfortunately I had to give a star in order for me to post…read more Signing on with David Mercure to the medical assistant program there were many unfulfilled promises. Before joining this program I had done my research and emailed the school to find out more information. One important factor I needed information for was if this program would help if I chose to work in pediatrics. Of course the answer was yes. Lie! For the little assignments we completed pediatrics was not covered in any topic. The schedule was set up to be 3 days a week 4 hours each day including the hands on module which followed this schedule except was opposite days of the online portion. The instructor Westley Ellis would take away from our learning time problem dumping his life problems on to us students. Quite a few times class was cancelled because Westley forgot he had to teach class. How do you forget about your job? During each module the assignments and grades were posted, but once the next module started all previous work completed along with proof of grades was deleted. There was no access for this. If you had any problem regarding your assignments or the website Cengage you were to contact Cengage because Westley never had an answer. Everything we needed for a job was supposed to be included. CPR course and either the school's choice for an externship or a medical facility of your own choice. When it came time to take the CPR course I had to pay out of pocket for the course and only one location was available in downtown Boston. Having one location available wasn't very do-able so I had to find my own CPR course. When I had asked Westley about other CPR locations being available he had told me that was the only option. There were many problems with this program and every time I had a question I would ask Westley as he was the instructor for this. He told me to ask David who I had signed on with, and guess what, he told me to talk with Westley. it was a continuous back and forth with both of them with talk to him, no talk to him and never getting an answer. For employees to work at this job for a few decades they really aren't knowledgeable in their career. One of the main problems during this program was that I chose my own externship. My externship offered to take me in earlier than the course end date, so of course I jumped for that opportunity and reached out to Westley and David for their approval of starting my externship early. This was a fight for weeks to be able to get an answer of what I could do. There excuse for me not starting early was that I had missing work and my grades weren't good. I had an A in every part of the program and all of work had been completed. The owner Song Jin had to provide me my own transcript which proved my grades and my finished assignments. When it came time to receive my certificate, it took weeks when I was supposed to receive it "within 30 days of completion" so I was told, but another student was told via text by Westley once they had finished the course they would receive their certificate the next day. 42 days later I was still looking for my certificate. I had to go in person in order to get things rolling and have "papers processed" in order for me to have my certificate. When trying to get my certificate I was then told to talk with Song Jin who seemed to be just as confused and was also not really helpful. Adding on to everything being included, I was told that there was not going to be a state exam. It seemed odd but I went with it, "they knew best." At the very end as I was starting my externship I was informed by another student that a state exam was needed. I had asked Westley where I could go to take the exam, and his words were "google it." He said via text that some jobs would need you to take the exam there at work online. A certificate of COMPLETION is not good enough. A job wants you to be certified before hiring you. 3 months after me completing the program and starting my externship I finally received my certificate after continuously reaching out. Oh and they stopped providing 1098-T for tax documents. They did have them about 7-8 years ago. They go through a TFC bank and when I had asked them for my 1098, they said to call the school and they will have all of the information you need. I would NEVER recommend this school/program. A waste of time and money. If you decide to join just be prepared that you: This school is very unprofessional and needs to be shut down. 1. Need to find your own CPR course. 2. It's best if you choose your own externship site. 3. You will need to take a state exam find a place yourself and pay it out of your own pocket. 4. Don't bother asking any questions to anybody as they don't know. 5. Be prepared to hear more about Westley's life problems than learning. 6. Don't expect going into job you learned what you were supposed to. Start teaching yourself and doing your own research on medical topics.
