Desert Metal Craft (DMC) and its people are simply amazing. I recently took a Blacksmithing 101 class here and was so impressed with the instructors. Equally impressive was the fact that I left class with a finished Mezzaluna (or herb chopper for the uninitiated). I have already signed up for Bladesmithing 100! Pro-Tip: If you are interested in a class sign up now. They book up quickly and you often have to enroll 3+ months in advance. It is worth the wait!

I endured this, however. I completed my studies at Carrington and went on to deal with a very difficult externship. I was so excited to graduate and walk across the stage. When that day came, I found myself in the hospital after a horrible accident. I reached out to the staff at Carrington and asked them if I could please be given the opportunity to participate in a later graduation ceremony, so I could still walk across the stage and celebrate all the hard work I had put in and endured. I was told that I would hear from Kathy Bailey about participating in the next graduation ceremony. I never heard from her. It has been 10 months. Ive already accepted the fact that I will not be getting a graduation. The robes that I purchased with my own hard earned money are collecting dust and will never be worn. This is my own experience at carrington. I strongly encourage any student seeking to further their education to look elsewhere. Don't waste your time and your energy.

ITT Technical Institute

Whether you're looking at the Tucson location that I attended or any other campus across the…read morecountry, the truth is the same - ITT Technical Institute is a for-profit diploma mill that teaches outdated information on outdated technology and saddles you with more debt than most doctors. This school as a whole is a scam and I wish I had taken the time to research it more before enrolling when I was 18. I wasn't yet aware that there are "schools" that exist to take advantage of their students. These are not the words of a disgruntled student who dropped out because it was too hard. I was a highest honors student at ITT nearly ever quarter I was there. When I wasn't highest honors, I was honors. I left because I realized what I wish I had before. This school is majorly looked down upon in the professional world. What you learn in these walls is not applicable. You will be given an A in this school whether you do the work or not, because they want you to stay and keep paying them their absurd fees for outdated information. They use fear tactics to enroll students; it is right in their handbook, which you can find online with some digging. The lawsuits against them are absurd, including a teacher giving a student an "A" on a paper about preparing noodles, when it should have been written about computer sciences. They hand out "A"s because that is what keeps students there. It keeps them happy and unquestioning until they're out in the real world and realize that there is nothing they can do with the degree. In fact, they'll learn that it is wiser to keep their degree off their resume, because God forbid someone notice that you went to school at ITT. Under no circumstances should you attend this school or anything like it.

This is my experience at ITT Technical Institute in Tucson…read more I was in their programming and software engineering program. The introductory programming class was taught by an ITT graduate. He read notes verbatim off of a PowerPoint presentation and then assigned exercises from the textbook. If I asked him any questions, he told me to just look in the book. I complained about him to the director and she told me that it was the student's responsibility to teach himself the material and that the classes only provided a framework. She assured me that I wouldn't have to work with that particular instructor again. Some instructors were better than other, but this was the general tone of the place. One of the later instructors, who was actually a programmer, asked us every week, "Did you write a program today?" I get the point that it's something that needed to be done every day, but if I'm paying for the course, I expect the school to at least provide assignments that give opportunities to practice what was taught in class and the school did not. For the last of the eight semesters, I found out I would once again have the incompetent ITT graduate as an instructor. I realized that I was deeply hating the whole experience, not learning very much from it, and that the junior Associates lite degree I would be earning was pretty much meaningless, so I quit seven-eighths of the way through the program and I am still paying off the student loans for this substandard education ten years later. Maybe ITT Technical Institute has improved greatly since 2004. Maybe my program was a weak one and the other programs are good. Maybe the ITT in Tucson was substandard and the other campuses are better. My opinion is that this is a purely for-profit school which preys on young people who have no idea what post-secondary education is supposed to be like. I wasn't especially young and had a lot of post-secondary educational experience, so I don't any excuse for leaving this pathetic excuse for an institution of learning after the first week, but I wanted to pass on my experience and my opinion to any prospective students.

From day one, she was professional, patient, and very thorough. Deborah provided written evaluations after each lesson, which made it easy to track Gage's progress and gave him clear goals to focus on. Her supportive and encouraging teaching style helped him feel calm, capable, and prepared for the test. Stop & Go is lucky to have someone like Deborah - she sets the bar incredibly high. Parents, if you're looking for a driving instructor who goes above and beyond, I wholeheartedly recommend her.

So then my flinching, grasping the dashboard, and moving my leg erracticly seemed to make my child nervous. The nerves of steel drivers at Stop and Go not only couldn't on the streets with her but took her on the freeway! They would drive around for two hours at a time, covering all the problem areas she had and getting her practice in. Then after the session they would give me a run down of how it went, what she did well and what she needed to work on. You can have a lesson as early as 6am and late into night. They pick up and drop off, so if strategic you can also get out of some chauffeuring. The last and best possibly draw of stop and go is that the final session of a five session package is their driving test. If pass you get a certificate and can go to dmv with that and avoid the test there. Huge time saver and way less stress for the kid.

I've been to a few classes thus far and I have to say that Kim is a fun instructor that keeps me entertained and sweating. The dances are fun and there's a wide range of people there. On occasion, Kim seems to lose track of where in the dance we are and give the wrong instruction. But, she is able to correct herself quickly. And I must admit that if I had to memorize that much choreography, I'd probably forget as well. The Zumba schedule is kind of limiting and I really wish they would offer more classes on the weekends, when I actually have time to go.
