Fortis Institute - Towson

"Don't go to this school, seriously find any other school. Too many issues to even get into on a review. Most importantly the staff (instructors and school leadership included) are very unprofessional and will not help you get ahead in your career. You will be teaching yourself to get through the program. I attended the massage therapy program for 6 weeks before I decided I had to find a new program, that's how bad it was. For example we were given the new edition 7 Salvo textbook....the schoolwork was based off the edition 5 Salvo textbook....TWO EDITIONS PRIOR TO WHAT WE WERE GIVEN. This caused us students to get lower grades because the book didn't match the school work. Students did complain to the instructors about this and nothing was done about it. This is just one example of the many issues with the school. My class started with 8 and after I left they were down to 4. What's funny is 2 staff members, including the Dean of Education Ms. Gabbi, mentioned that they were aware of issues with the massage therapy program. Also the fact that the Campus President Tina Turk is posting positive, high star reviews on Google to offset our truthful reviews. Good to see Fortis sends their staff through to post fake reviews to try to cover the truth. Learn from my mistake and don't go to this school, you'll save yourself a lot of time and money."

"Fortis-Towson has the best staff, faculty and students! I enjoy coming into the atmosphere and seeing the smiles and joy! It excites me to go to various doctors and dentist offices and see our students at work! Pajama day celebrating spirit week is always fun!"

"This place is TRASH! They commit fraudulent behavior on the paperwork. Claimed that my child COULDNT get the FEDERAL PELL GRANT. Once I told them that she could and why, MAGICALLY SHE WAS APPROVED. Then, wanted me to take out a 22,000 loan.. but the curriculum is worth 22,000 .. it’s a difference between profit and EXTORTION. I would give them NO STARS if I could."

"I graduated from Fortis 3 months and still visit every once in a while. I would HIGHLY recommend the Massage Therapy Program to anyone that is interested. In my opinion Miss.Crystal is the best program director Fortis could have ever asked for. She is very helpful, resourceful and truly cares for her students. She is the glue that holds that program together! Literally THE BEST to ever do it. I was in a class of 7. As of right now 6 out of 7 of us have passed our MBLEX Exams , 4 out of 7 of us are officially licensed. So far so good!!!! Everything I’ve learned and experienced in the Massage Therapy Program will be something I never forget. It’s been life changing. Special shout-out to Miss.Ciara , Miss.Cherise , Miss.Rhonda and Miss.Janell for being such amazing teachers! I am grateful to have met so many beautiful BEAUTIFUL souls❤️ Also, Miss.Yolanda the Esthetics Program Director!!!!! I love herrrrr !!! She’s the sweetest! If you are contemplating on continuing education in esthetics at Fortis DON’T .. because with Miss.Yolanda you are in GREAT HANDS."
