"Don't care about their employees they only care about numbers and looking at everyone like they're nothing but numbers as well. Doesn't stick to what they promise you and will drop you like a hot potato as soon as you aren't doing what they want. Plus after they do that they manipulate the system so they make sure you can't even get unemployment until you can find a better place than they are."

"First off I didn't like the high pressure sales pitch from the recruiter especially being a 70 percent service connected disabled veteran which I know the VA will pay 100% of my schooling but I was ignored when expressing this. Then later when I expressed to the recruiter that I had no plans in getting student loans and the VA would pay for everything he wanted to debate with me and then contacted my coworker who I made the mistake of telling him that they referred me which is extremely unprofessional in my opinion. It's my understanding from current students and graduates that the program is good but the recruiting staff is in need of a serious overhaul. I'm an educated veteran on my benefits and you try to tell me I don't know what I'm talking about and ignore what I have to say, I go into immediate screw you mode. Especially when you are pushing for me to get into school and I tell you I wait on the VA vocational rehabilitation program to kick. I give the recruiting program zero stars but because the instructors and students I've met I'm giving them three stars. My recruiter and his director didn't listen to a word I had to say and were only focused on my getting student loans and getting into class and had no regard for my wants and needs. So I'm only saying beware of the sales tactics. Let the text in the photos speak for themselves."

"I completed the AMT program at this location in 2017. Not all the teachers I had are still there, but a great majority of them did indeed take an active role in teaching. Unlike some other reviews, I did not experienced any of the teachers "putting on YouTube videos" and using that as the class. If they ever used videos, it was as examples to reiterate what we were learning. Please take all of what I said with a grain of salt, considering I took the evening class, the daytime schedule may result in a very different experience."

"Multiple instructors have severe PTSD and no official teaching license. Most of the school is just teaching yourself out of the textbook in order to pass classes. Nobody at the school gives a care at all if you graduate once you enroll. The instructors sign off on projects that have not even been completed just so they can have time to play Magic the Gathering during class as soon as possible every day. Hardly any hands on experience. The financial advisors use the term "free money" a lot when referring to loans (especially when they are dealing with people out of poverty). The concept of money gets left outside the front door when people enter it seems like. Damon Cook, the Director of Education, is willing to lie about and then fight his students. The advisors will lie about every detail just to get you enrolled."

"If I could leave zero stars I would. This program is horrible. It is nearly $50,000 dollars to attend and not worth even a fraction of that. They do not tell you upfront about all of the costs until it is to late. They do not mention that they are priced $15,000 dollars above what federal student loans will cover until its to late. Then they charge you while you are attending to pay on the difference. Then the day you graduate they hit you up for $250 a month that you have to pay on top of your federal loan payment. They also charge you for classes that you do not attend. The quality of the program itself is terrible. With the exception of a couple of instructors most of them are fresh out of school and have no idea about what they are talking about. Half of my instructors spent more time watching movies in class than teaching. I had to teach myself online for most of the blocks in order to pass the tests. They are predatory in their recruiting and even more predatory in their collections. Even with student loans differed because of the pandemic they still hound you for money and threaten to send you to collections. I know they are the only program in the area but I would avoid it. It's not worth even a fraction of the cost. I have spoken too many other graduates and they all seem to have the same opinion. Just to show how bad it is, my class started with 17 students and finished with 2. Very few people graduate or get their A&P."
