Let me start off by saying my teacher, Don, was amazing. He's personable, knowledgable and made…read morewhat I did learn fun. I signed up for this course because I'm a single mother and what I'm making now in my other two jobs is not enough, so I thought I could add to the days/nights I have free. I made my first of two payments and started the course. I only signed up to go to the Schaumburg location because the others are too far. About a little less than halfway through the course I was sitting with the teacher and he said, "Hey, I need the other half of your tuition." ME: Well, I'm taking off work early tomorrow to come and do the classes I haven't been able to get because they don't work with my schedule. Can I just pay you tomorrow? HIM: Don't you have a credit card? Besides, the owner came in and took all my files. He never does that. At least it'll look like I did something today. (he laughs) ME: Ok (I pay him the last payment) I'll see you tomorrow around 3pm The next day I leave work early, grab some lunch, and head to the school. There's a HUGE white truck/van taking up three spots in the lot. I grab my stuff and start walking in. There's a man standing outside on the phone and as I walk past him, he says, "What do you think you're doing?" ME: I'm going to class. What do you think I'm doing. But now I'm looking around and the owners of the truck are dumping whatever they can into trash cans and taking them out past me. MAN: There's no class. They were evicted this morning. ME: WHAT?!?! The sound of the hundreds of bottles being emptied into the dumpster outside is distracting MAN: Yeah, they were thrown out. You can't come in. So I walk out and sit in my car. They JUST took my money 12 hours before. I called the school's main number and a guy named Nico told me to come to their location and we'd work something out. He said I was only twenty minutes away and he had no idea what had happened. An HOUR and twenty-five minutes later I pull up in front of this janky looking strip mall with a check cashing place and I think it was a tarot card reader. I was afraid to park my car on this busy road. I walked in and found Nico and another man sitting in what I'm assuming was the office. I told them both there's no way after working a full day that I'm going to drive over an hour to a part of town that I wouldn't want to walk out at night by myself and I would like a refund. NICO: I'm not authorized to do that. But I'll leave a message for the man who can. ME: Is it going to be the owner? Because apparently he doesn't know how to pay his bills. I want you to make sure he has all my info. (He starts to write my name and number) I was on edge, I'll admit. I'm usually not that aggressive. NICO: I don't know. The owner doesn't know what happened. ME: I'll tell you what happened. Nobody gets their sh!t thrown out on the lawn for missing one payment. He knew. That's why he came in and took the files yesterday. He KNEW. (Blank stare from Nico) ME: So can you write down the name of the guy who's going to call me and where is he? NICO: Oh, he had to run out. I don't know his name. ME: You don't know his name? You work with the guy and you don't know his name? (Now, it's the owner, I know this now. And he ran out because I called my teacher and told him the school was being emptied into a dumpster.) NICO: Uh, his name is Frank (There is no Frank. He panicked not knowing if he should tell me the owner's name) ME: Ok, I'll wait for his call. No phone call ever came. So I contacted the bank I paid with and they gave me my money back. All of it. But I wasted SO much time and have nothing to show for it. Now I have to start over and find a new school, not located anywhere near me, and pay more because all the Christmas deals are over. They handled it like a$$hats. That's all. Nobody contacted me to try to make anything right. I am positive they couldn't have forgotten I came in. Just a shame for me and the 50-something other students who hadn't taken their test or finished the classes yet.

I cannot say enough good things about my experience with the classes I took. I always wanted a…read moreprofession in bartending, but never knew where to go or how to get started. I searched on the internet and wanted to try this school since it was close to my home. I called the office and told them I was skeptical, so they encouraged me to just stop in on a class and observe. WOW, was I excited to see everyone working hands-on and with each other. I knew that this was the place I wanted to attend. The classes helped me with so many facets of bartending that I still adhere to today. While drink recipes are a major focus, the class also concentrates on pouring, cleanliness, and hardware knowledge. In fact, I think that the returning of all equipment and bottles to its original location is probably the most important thing I have learned and has pretty much become my mantra. The course was also fun and educational with stories and jokes. Don was an awesome teacher, and his experience and stories would leave you waiting to hear more. I always looked forward to attending classes and would stay until the last minute. Maybe the best about the program is the job placement service. After completing the courses, I was then worried about how I would find a job in bartending. However, the placement service they use could not have been any more easier. I took the coursework in March of 2014 and was able to have my first job the first week of April. I was looking to advance my career several months later, and again, the school provided me with a link to a position that I absolutely love working at today. Bartender American Professional Schools has changed my life by helping me to pursue a career I have always wanted and continues to guide me as I make my bartending journey. I would HIGHLY recommend this facility to anyone considering a field in bartending.

I took the 7-week CNA course, and by the time the state exam rolled around, I felt prepared. The required homework, although very time-consuming, was all the preparation I needed to pass all the exams. My main issues with this course are that the required quizzes, practice exams, and exams need to be updated, as there were many inconsistencies. The wording of some test questions fails to provide enough information to answer them properly without asking the instructor for clarification. There were also questions included that we had flat-out never discussed and that were not in our textbooks. Although they were only counted for completion points, there were multiple grading issues on the quizzes, and two of the required practice exams were almost identical. That being said, none of this stuff was make-or-break; it was mostly just an annoyance. Clinicals were overall fine; however, at the Alden rehab clinical site, it was made very clear when we arrived that we were not wanted there, and upon entering the floor, we were told we'd just be in the way. Most CNAs were very hesitant to let us learn and often gave us mundane tasks or avoided us altogether; it is clear they frequently get a lot of students there. I had a background in caregiving going into this, but others who did not were in no way prepared. Skills lab did not teach us much of anything, and what we did learn contradicted what our clinical instructor would say, so it was a lot of learning as you go. In the end, basically everyone passed the class and received their certification, so that's what really mattered. I would recommend this class, especially for its flexible scheduling; it gets the job done.

The skills labs were especially helpful and gave us the hands-on practice we needed to feel confident. Brock and the other talented staff did a great job teaching the skills clearly and making sure we understood what we were doing. The clinical experience was also extremely valuable. It allowed me to put everything I had learned into practice and further develop my skills and understanding of what it truly takes to be a CNA. I'm very grateful for the education, encouragement, and hands-on experience I received at Avid CNA School. I would definitely recommend the program to anyone looking to become a CNA!

It's hidden in one of the many office buildings on Wacker Drive, and upon entering the lobby, it appears to be just-another-office-building. After probing around, the building actually had restaurant, sundry shop, valet parking, and travel agency located on-site!! As we chatted with the security guards, I learned that the 205 building is actually a historic site built since the 1920s. Apparently, the building was originally built for "Engineering" firms, thus formerly known as the "Engineering Building." Neat fact of the day eh? The CFA workshops were held on the 2F, where we were led into 2 HUGE conference style meeting rooms! The rooms are sectioned off with division screen like dividers that actually sound-proof. It was a great space for the workshop, and can probably seat up to 200 people combined! It was a nice surprise to find a piece of Chicago History through an otherwise mundane CFA workshop... ;)
