I've always had a fondness for this place because I pull a lot of employees from here and they…read moreoften have just enough knowledge and a little bit of experience in our industry. Now my girlfriend's daughter is going to attend (different industry) and I'm looking forward to see how she does by attending school here. The only thing is that for the smaller schools, like the one my girlfriend's daughter attends for actual high school, I wish EVIT offered some sort of shuttle service. The bigger schools have buses but the small schools don't have that luxury.

This school at first was alot of fun and i was starting to actually like it. But what has been…read moreupsetting me is how EVIT doesn't understand stuff happends, like a tire popping while your driving. I am also a student who has an IEP, Autism&ADHD so i tend to forget some stuff, yet my teachers and EVIT seems to not understand or care and without warning penalize me such as (takes pts away, give saturday school,OOO out of school suspension if you dont make it exactly at 8:00 for saturday school at EVIT), WITHOUT WARNING! which hurts me as their student so i am making this review to hopefully show y'all and EVIT this is frustrating as a student and parent. None of my EVIT teachers gave me a paper about expectations everyday in class at the begin of the year,failed multiple times to explain what punishments happens to EVIT students when not in full uniform, doesn't give no info on paper to students like what is the point of my IEP if EVIT just ignores my disabilities .P.S Understand #### Happens.

Hello this is Whitney, I had a wonderful experience with…read moreAshly today as she did an amazing job cleaning my teeth, she knew how to do all the e rays on her own and I am so grateful for such a good experience. thank you so much Ashley . I love coming to Carrington College for my teeth cleanings the 3hour time block is well worth it !!!

I originally planned to use my GI Bill for the Dental Hygiene program at SJVC in California. My…read moreexperience with SJVC was wonderful from the beginning. The staff was welcoming, helpful, and made the application process clear and easy to understand and I was excited to start the program. Unfortunately due to my husband's military obligations, I realized I would have been about halfway through the program when we would need to relocate and he would begin a deployment so I reached out to SJVC to explain my situation and they were incredibly helpful. They told me about their sister school Carrington in my home state and explained that it might be a better option because I already had a strong support system there, especially with having small children. They made it clear that I was still welcome to continue with SJVC but provided me with information about Carrington so I could decide which option worked best for my family and timeline. Because of that positive experience with SJVC, I felt really confident exploring Carrington. After attending the information session I decided to take the leap and switch my focus to Carrington. In the beginning, everything felt promising and my communication with Donna was great, and I was able to submit my recommendation letters, fingerprint card, CPR certification, vaccine records, and other required documents. I don't think the Wonderlic exam I had taken in California transferred, so I retook it as requested. At that point, I was told that I was a strong candidate, that my score was good, and that everything looked promising. I was excited and felt that I was on the right path. Unfortunately, the communication changed shortly afterward. A couple of days before the application deadline, I was asked to retake the test again and after that I stopped receiving communication. I called multiple times, left voicemails, and sent emails but received no response. After waiting and trying again, I eventually received a voicemail shortly before the start date informing me that I had not been selected and should try again for the next start date. The voicemail felt off as if she didn't remember who I was despite previous conversations or maybe my application just fell through the cracks. I was still determined to pursue the program and moved to Arizona to apply again. When I asked for feedback about how I could become a stronger candidate, I did not receive any guidance. I called multiple times, left voicemails, sent text messages asking what I needed to improve, and emailed questions regarding getting a higher score on the Wonderlic, but again received no response. Donna eventually contacted me about a week before the next application deadline asking me to resubmit my letter of intent, but once again, communication stopped afterward. At this point, I realized that switching my focus from SJVC to Carrington may not have been the right decision for me. I understand that applying to a competitive program can be stressful and that admissions staff may have many applicants to manage. Still I am very disappointed by the lack of communication and guidance throughout the process, especially after having such a positive experience with SJVC. Because the two schools are connected, I honestly expected a similar level of professionalism and support. The final communication was even more disappointing because applicants were notified that they had not been selected through a mass email in which all recipients could see one another's email addresses. Applicants began responding to the email, meaning we could see each other's responses as well. Receiving a rejection in what is essentially a mass text felt very impersonal and, in my opinion unprofessional. I understand that not every applicant can be accepted, and I completely respect how competitive it is. My disappointment is not being denied but the lack of communication, feedback, and guidance throughout the process. I repeatedly asked what I could do to improve my application and was unable to get an answer. Ultimately I'll take this experience as a sign that Carrington may simply not be the right school for me. I am disappointed because I had such a positive experience with SJVC and genuinely expected a similar experience with its sister school. I have loved working in the dental field since leaving the military, and I am determined to continue pursuing a career in dental hygiene. I apologize for such a long review but I sincerely hope that other applicants have a more positive experience with the admissions process, and I wish everyone applying the best of luck.

May 11th, 2024 ** everything was fine until I was randomly and out of nowhere approached by a…read morecouple of racist employee's and threatened and cussed at in a very disrespectful manner. I recommend Spanish and black people who value themselves do not attend this school. They carry a very discriminatory demeanor. Which is surprising being that they do business around a bunch of black and Spanish people. Most of their employee's are white and very hickish, and carry the aura that they get to talk to anyone however they want. Most of the people that thrive and do well here happily without any issues seem to be white. Black and Spanish people in my opinion seem to express a general nuisance and annoyance while going through the program. Some resorting to complete silence and submittance just to make it through without dealing with disrespectful employee's. Some of their employee's stalk around the halls in a very lurking and predatory fashion. Bringing discomfort to some types of students. It is the general expectation that they get to raise their voice and scream and talk to students however they want. Making any sorts of complaints to staff appears to result in extreme backlash and violent outrage toward student. It is my opinion that if racist employees are not removed than the school will be shut down. I would also note that they are requiring students to sqan QR codes for "student satisfaction" and also to clock in and clock out, and QR codes are of course known for cyber security issues. may 14th* After filing a report with the correct authorities I received a phone call from the president whose name is "David" he appears to have been unaware until I made a complaint of the issue, and says specifically he is going to look into it, and I am standing by to wait and see what he does. I have decided to continue to attend the school based on Davids word. I will continue to provide update to review accordingly. may 17th ** It appears that David has kept to his word and has completely changed the situation during the week. It appears thus far that is the issue I had mentioned previously has been corrected, I have not heard yet from past two guys I initially had an issue with, but things have been going well during the week. The teaching is great and I am getting a lot of good welding time in, and I feel more comfortable and able to focus on learning.

Horrible school! Don't bother taking your money here. Veterans, if you are thinking of attending…read morethis school with your benefits, beware! I would not give these people your benefits! One of the instructors acts very vulgar and treats students like complete crap, using profanity, and vulgar language. Some of the students are not even comfortable asking him questions to understand the material of what we learned without him getting mad. He gets angry if a student does not understand something, But it gets worse! To only think that this instructor is bad, the next one we had didn't give a crap about teaching the class, we went over the same refrigeration process for a whole month without going over brazing and soldering, I mean what HVAC school skips Brazing and soldering! He also was always gone and never at class. And when he was at class he decided to have us leave early for the day instead of going over the exact things we have on the curriculum for the phase. This institution is a complete joke, and completely pathetic. And I am reporting this school to the VA. My advice, if you want to learn a trade like HVAC or Electrical, go to a community college out here, yeah it may take a little longer to graduate but at least you are getting the education and resources you need to be successful and actually feel confident in your craft to score a job. Or join the union and get paid to learn the trade, because one thing I do know is this, they won't tolerate lazy instructors and they won't tolerate instructors that use profanity and scare students at the union or community college!

I am proficient with computers, but I had never even opened up Adobe InDesign before. I needed to…read morehave these skills for work, and I needed them quickly as I was already being assigned projects that required it. Anthony was so knowledgeable and friendly. He was very efficient with his instruction, and provided a ton of time to practice what we were learning. I was able to come back to my office and do everything that I needed to do much quicker than I ever thought. Weeks later, I needed us a skill he taught us, and without any problems I was able to recall and complete the task that I needed efficiently and effortlessly. I would highly recommend Lumenbrite for training.

I was grateful for the ability to save money by creating the ads myself but hated that they never looked as professional as I had hoped. I was tired of the stress but not in a position to outsource all of our marketing design needs so I researched Photoshop training. After seriously considering one of the large online tutorial sites I discovered Lumenbrite. Their Photoshop Corporate Marketing Bootcamp sounded like exactly what I needed and I figured attending an on-site class would be more engaging and have fewer distractions than being at home. I just completed day four of my Bootcamp and am blown away by what I learned. My instructor Anthony was completely engaged with the material and students the entire time. He possesses the rare combination of technical computer knowledge and communication skills that empowers the people he teaches. He was patient, entertaining, and his never-ending enthusiasm for Photoshop is contagious. He took the time to learn about my goals and objectives and adapted the material to meet my needs. I am 100% confident the value of this course will be worth in excess of 10x the cost in the next 6 months alone. Thank you Anthony! I can't wait to attend my next Lumenbrite course!
