This is the absolute worst experience and school I have ever subjected myself to. Having attended…read moreother schools for California licenses, I would have never thought a school could be so bad. I should have known when the office workers changed so abruptly that the school was ill managed. Very little in class prep, no explanation of the process or what the steps are within the curriculum, basically you will receive a binder and you are on your own. I recommend going to Golden State or do your research for one that focuses on the student. All they care about is signing you up, getting your credit card and they will try to sell more and more products. Other schools will provide 24 hour access to practice tests, this company wants you to go into the school because they are afraid someone will steal their tests. They will provide online access to study materials, but for a short period of time so they can sell you more. Save your money and find a better school!

This traffic school is top notch. I got a ticket for the second time in my life...and the school i…read morewent to the first time was great, but it seemed like there was new staff, which were rather rude on the phone, and the price had gone up. I went searching for an alternative traffic school and came across this place. They offer a very affordable online class which is engaging, interesting and kinda funny. I enjoyed logging in whenever I had time to complete the course and go back to re-read the material as needed. I learned information I had not known before and received a refresher on material I had not read about for a long time. It was so much better than spending an 8 hour day (on the weekend no less!) in a stuffy classroom. Online learning FTW :). It was a great learning experience and I would highly recommend this traffic school you unfortunately receive a ticket.

The…read moreinstructor, Alan, holds a Doctorate of Jurisprudence and has awards for acting and directing. All classroom courses are held at the Marriott Courtyard Rancho Bernardo the first and third Saturday of every month. With his talents, experience and common sense approach to the laws and safe driving Alan has even received ovations from his students. Since its inception, the school has never cancelled a class and has never turned anybody away. As an added service to the classroom students, there is a standing invitation to call Alan at any time if they have questions concerning legal matters or subsequent citations. Past students are constantly referring friends and relatives to the school. Now adding the online and home study experiences, Poway Rancho will continue to provide the same excellent service it has a reputation for.

I'm a current studednt here about to go on externship. I think my rating is fair when you consider…read moreboth administration and the Lab Instructors. PROS: -Lab Instructors are helpful and fair with grading -Open lab is helpful when DMS Students need extra practice for lab. Can be congested with the excessive amount of students at times though -There is tutoring offered at no extra cost -You can rent out any book at the LRC, helpful Now, here's where I have several issues with this campus: The administration here is small, and because it's small and always changing, the communication is awful between the students and the enrollment admin, externship coordinators, program directors, director of education, and campus director. CONS: -Small amount of admin staff leads to poor communication -Externship site coordinators are terrible at responding to student inquiries in a timely manner -Enrollment admin is forgetful and can't seem to get back to student's within time, or respond to any emails or inquiries we/they have in a timely manner. -Every quarter at this campus, we have some rule change to open lab to "assist" with the congestion, this confuses students and leads to resentment between students and admin -Curriculum is often inconsistent, protocols are ever changing, leading to confusion among students in EPL -Physics and Knobology is not offered at the beginning of a new quarter for a new student, so they are unfamiliar with the machine and how it operates, leading to failed competencies. (A brief introduction to how the ultrasound machines work would be very helpful to new students.) Overall, my rating of Smith Chason College is 3/5 stars. I really enjoy my time during lab with my instructors, they are all very helpful and kind, patient too. I don't think I could say the same for administration (Except for Financial Aid, Career Services, and Student Services; they are all awesome and helpful.) If you are considering enrolling here, I would strongly encourage doing some research on this campus alone, it is not CAAHEP accredited, just ACCSC accredited; which means you have to sit for the ARRT before the ARDMS if you are in the AASDMS program. If you think you can handle the slow and lack of proper communication between enrollment admin, etc. Then I think it will be worth it considering the other aspects of the school are nice (Lab instructors, tutoring, open lab, etc.)

I rarely leave negative reviews, but my experience trying to get information about Smith Chason's…read moreMRI program has been incredibly frustrating. It's been over a month, and I still haven't been able to get accurate information about the program. After filling out the online inquiry form, I spoke with someone in admissions who recommended I attend a Zoom information session. I arranged daycare and adjusted my schedule so I could attend. Once the presentation started, the instructor explained that the session had nothing to do with the MRI program. It was exclusively about the Ultrasound program. I notified my admissions representative, who apologized and said he would send me a presentation with information about the MRI program. Instead, he sent me the exact same Ultrasound presentation. I then asked to be referred to someone else who could actually answer my questions about MRI, but I never received a response. I cannot emphasize enough how frustrating and unprofessional this experience has been. If a school can't provide basic information to a prospective student after more than a month, it doesn't inspire confidence in the program or the institution as a whole.

I had grown out my hair for 4 years. I had a haircut and balayage scheduled. It took over 4 hours…read more Nothing came out as expected . The color was off , hair damaged, didnt even look like a balayage & bad service. The student was also supposed to graduate in a month (Gabriela) and was completely not ready. At the end mentioned she didn't even have time for a blowout, almost expected me to walk out with wet hair. The teacher ((ALEXIS , picture above)) still expected and forcefully made me pay before even offering to fix the mistake and threatened to call police if i didn't. Once they offered to fix it , the solution they came up with didnt seem reasonable I knew it wouldnt be fixed correctly. She didn't really care about the issue but cared more about the school losing money. The teacher even mentioned continuing to schedule for more redos until it came out right which didnt sound correct she should know how to fix it the first time not do multiple redos. I posted my inspo pic and what they actually did. Next day I went to multiple salons to confirm weather what the teacher suggested to do as a redo to fix my hair was correct and was told at all salons that it was not the solution. Wrong products and procedures were put on my hair. I had to pay much more to get it fixed at another salon & had to pay for hair treatment due to the damage they caused. No one has this much time to waste for such disappointment and useless teachers and students. First and last time coming here ! I dont recommend.

Palomar College Cabinet and Furniture Technology is one of the top woodworking schools in the…read morecountry. They offer classes and degrees for everything from wood carving and wood turning to cabinet and furniture making. They also have one of the best Guitar Making Technology certificate programs consisting of 9 classes and 26 units. The facilities and instructors are amazing. I love that each class is project-based, so you end each semester with an heirloom quality piece of woodwork. Palomar College CFT has their own lumber mill, and they partner with the city to turn tree waste into unique and usable lumber. That makes it the only place in the world where you can get specialty woods like Torrey Pine, and it's only available to students in the woodworking classes. The CFT100-Woodworking Fundamentals class is the pre-requisite for most of the other classes. Students usually build a pendulum or mantel clock for that class while learning woodworking basics along the way. I took CFT100 as a beginner and learned a ton, but even seasoned woodworkers have said that class is worth taking and learning the "right" way to do things. I can't say enough good things about the people running this program, from the instructors and teaching assistants to the fellow students, they are a joy to work with and learn from.
