Quite Bright
The school dose have some problems that i will agree. i am currently in the rt program and feel that it is a great program. one small flaw i do find is the neonatal class for some people can be hard because it is all self taught takes alot of disapline. but that is something that you should of already planned on having going into the program. as far as the staff most of them are wiling to help you at any time of the day of coarse there are a few that seem liek they are too busy for your questions but i feel that comes with any school. i have learned alot in the program surprisingly it all did come quite easy to me. the whole point of the program is to stay focused and get through it asap. i do agree that some of the othe rprograms are a little overpriced and i woudl say on those shop around before juming onto the bandwagon. besides that just dont get caught up in the drama and political stuff in the school and you will have no problems.

To all students: I was an instructor, if you want to discuss this any futher, as I believe I am going to seek advice from an attorney. I felt your pain, about the education and how students were treated as children and not as adults. I also understand that the curriculum I was teaching many would be outdated, another instructor and I were really fighting for our students but it sort of seemed like a loss cause. I really feel bad for all of you that spent money. Feel free to contact me if you are intested in filing some sort of law suit agaist them. You may contact me at Thank you.

Anyone who reads this comment should pay attention. THIS SCHOOL DOES NOT CARE ABOUT YOU, THEY ONLY CARE ABOUT GETTING YOUR MONEY.

I was in the Industrial Technology course at the Visalia campus. I did NOT like this course or the dipshit teacher they had teaching it. I KNEW MORE THAN HIM WITHOUT EVER TAKING THIS COURSE BEFORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They dont care who they hire, they dont care if you learn anything, but ohhhh dont miss a day of class if you dont want them calling you every hour asking where you are. They care if you dont come to class because they dont get money if you dont show up. Nobody (faculty) ever mentions this, but many students I talked to do, the school gets money for every day you are there. No show=no money.

They have a course review every class, but it is pointless because they dont even read them. I was told personally by one of their salespeople... I mean counselors... that NOBODY reads them. They fired the teacher I started with after the three out of four classes because we had a students wife call in and complain. They had been getting bad reviews for this guys for two and a half years and they only looked at him after a verbal complaint. Oh yeah we had three students buy their grades off him, two student payed $35 dollars for passing grades and one guy got an A+ in all the classes even though he only showed up for about 7 days for each class, which are two 10 week and two 5 week courses.

I will never recommend this school to anyone, I will never speak positively about this school, and I will inform everyone who wants to read this that this school only wants your money. The counselors lie to their future students, I was told they teach you everything you need to know about being a Maintenance Mechanic, boy was I wrong.

STAY AWAY FROM THIS SCHOOL IF YOU VALUE YOUR MONEY AND WANT A WORTHWHILE EDUCATION.and for the faculty and administrators that are trying to talk positively about this school, go f@ck yourselves, you are not fooling anyone on this site.
