"why so many bad reviews for this school what is going on im so confused. I really wanted to attend this school but the reviews have me afraid. can someone tell me something?? anything?? help??"

"The learning platform at CALC Institute of Technology is just what I need to succeed. You learn at your own pace. The instructors are very helpful, and patient. The no intimidation learning set up is key to my own individual progress, and success. The school is truly a peaceful, no stress, friendly environment. The Administrative Specialist skills that I am learning will indeed allow me to succeed at finding a new career. I look forward to coming to class every day."

"Very unpleasant experience for me, denied access to tools available to students of caucasian race, asked to work separately from the class, FLAT OUT SEGREGATED!! Also harassed by Fred, denied access to class on midterm day. They even mailed altered tax documents. This all happened because I'm an African American student who questioned her hours being falsely documented. I have a lot of disgusting things recorded, emails, police report and video bc I only felt comfortable with a police escorting me to class(which they still denied access on video)! I'm sure they wouldn't want the videos featured on the evening news, but I pray someone reaches out for them& they are exposed. Legally it isn't smart to talk bad, but this was just horrible treatment/service for what they took. They don't deserve the 1 star"

"I attended the network engineer program at CALC and have just completed it. I was very satisfied with the atmosphere at the school, the self-paced learning environment, and the curriculum. During my attendance I earned four CompTIA certificates (A+, Network+, Cloud+, and Security+). I hope to find a job in my new field soon. I even got to study the Python programming language in my extra time because I stayed ahead of the pace for the most part throughout my attendance. I believe that CALC provided me with valuable knowledge and experience towards pursuing a career in IT, and the well rounded course of study helped me to determine what areas I enjoy the most, and what areas are not for me."

"I just have to say I am a current student of CALC in the MA program at the Fairview Heights campus and I really love this school. Though I have not yet completed the program I do know that a lot of the prior students were successfully able to get jobs. CALC offers a great job placement assistance program, they will not get a job for you but will offer you great job leads as well as resume assistance and will keep in contact with you until you are able to secure a job. My particular instructor has been with CALC for 6 years or more and I know the other instructors in the Fairview Heights campus have been there for awhile as well so there is not a high instructor turn over rate. I have about 20 people in my class so classes are fairly small. The staff will work with you and help you with everything from job assistance to tuition/financial aide. CALC is one of the better for-profit schools in the area and I think I will be returning to CALC in a few years to attend the LPN course at the Alton campus."
