I signed up for an EKG technician course during this pandemic to hopefully get my foot in the door…read moreat a better job. From the beginning I should've known that the school is not a reputable school. They are worried about taking your money right away before giving you a curriculum or even a tour of the school. The classroom I was personally in fits 3 people and the equipment used to taught the course was all non functional. The first day was a mandatory CPR course (which i get why you need in the medical field) but all it was was showing us a video that asked us to follow the video with a dummy that we did not have. When Dr. Raymond came back in the room he taught the most basic cpr instructions on a a gross looking dummy for about 10 minutes. The classrooms were full of old unusable equipment and photos of students from the early 2000's. I learned everything straight from the book/the internet on my own. Dr. Raymond's lectures are about 10 minutes long (if you're lucky) where he says nonsensical things or reads straight from the book. I asked him questions countless times and was left more confused than before as it was like he didn't know what he was talking about. He accidentally left me a voicemail talking trash about his students with the other teacher(his wife) and how students all think they know everything. At the end of my course I took my test in person and in writing(not electronically) and did not hear back anything about my results. I finally called and was answered by a rude receptionist saying she was sure she sent me the link to my certificate. Dr. Raymond did not offer me job placement even though I made sure to ask when I signed up if that's something they did. His wife assured me that they did. Instead I got a call from him offering to pay me $9 an hour to teach his EKG course for 2 hours a day, 2 days a week. (So a whopping $36 a week to teach others things I barely learned on my own) TLDR: do not go here if you want a real education. If you want to pay to go sit in a gross outdated classroom, read straight from a book everyday, and listen to the Doctor take personal phone calls while sitting in class with you trying to read about what he's about to "lecture" you on then this is the place! Also beware and ask about ALL THE FEES. As the test is not included, nor is CPR.

The instructor Allistor, was a wonderful teacher, and answered all of our questions. He was extremely patient and thoroughly identified different methods to locate veins.

I was encouraged to read both the Phlebotomy Third Edition book and also the Phlebotomy Quick Study flyer. Highly Recommend taking this program!

All my instructor's Richard, Russell, Patrick Philips, Terry, Frank, even Javier (who has not been…read moremy immediate instructor) are amazing they have a tremendous passion for teaching students who are passionate about learning the welding trade. Do not come here expecting to ride on with just your skills learned beforehand because they are training you to be in the workforce they don't tolerate tardiness or excuses because they want you as their students to be someone they can recommend to a previous employer they won't if you don't show your dedication along with your skills. They truly prepare you for the job you want and if you don't show them your dedication to it they will try to make you understand the importance of being dedicated and willing. They don't just teach skills they teach real career lessons. They know in depth about the trade and they will teach you how to prepare not only in skills but expectations and experience.

Well why not? I found out that it's about 20%. Definitely not worth it. Save your money and go to HCC.

Graduating from the Medical Assistant program at Fortis South Campus has been one of the most…read moremeaningful and life-changing experiences of my journey, and I couldn't let this moment pass without expressing my deepest gratitude. From the very beginning, I felt seen, supported, and genuinely cared for not just as a student, but as a person preparing to step into a professional future. This campus is filled with individuals who don't just do their jobs... they pour into people, and that makes all the difference. Ms. Lynch, our Lead Medical Assistant Instructor, is truly one of a kind. Her passion for teaching goes far beyond the classroom. She is patient, knowledgeable, and incredibly dedicated to making sure every student understands not only the "how" but also the "why." She believed in me even during moments when I doubted myself, and that kind of encouragement is something I will carry with me forever. Dr. Sherman exemplifies leadership, professionalism, and genuine care. Her presence alone reassures you that you are in the right place, and her commitment to student success does not go unnoticed. She leads with integrity and creates an environment where excellence is expected but also supported every step of the way. Mr. Ian Avington in Career Services is truly a blessing. He goes above and beyond to ensure students are not just prepared, but confident stepping into the workforce. His guidance, motivation, and willingness to help at any time made such a lasting impact on me. Ms. Juanice Brice is equally phenomenal. Her kindness, encouragement, and dedication to helping students succeed is unmatched. She makes you feel valued and supported, and she works tirelessly to open doors and create opportunities for each and every graduate. Together, this team represents what true passion, purpose, and service look like. They are more than staff they are mentors, motivators, and life-changers. I can wholeheartedly say that choosing Fortis South Campus was one of the best decisions I've ever made. If you are considering a career in the medical field, this is the place to start. You will be challenged, supported, uplifted, and prepared in ways that go far beyond expectations. Thank you all for being such a powerful part of my journey. I will forever be grateful.

I went there for an IT associates degree and it is a complete waste of money. All they do is teach you how to pass the CompTIA exams and overcharge you to do so. The school is so ill equipped that a smartphone is more powerful than their computers which still run on windows 8. The classes consisted of lectures with powerpoint presentation and youtube videos that you can see for free online. Eventually before they considered me a drop out they gave us access to Testout which is an online learning portal that CompTIA bought out. So after 2 years they finally had something else to help us at school without upgrading computers. Their is next to no hands on experience for a trade school nor capabilities for any other kind of in depth learning that could apply to a job, its purely CompTIA and nothing else. You will also have to continuously pay for the classes if you do not have: CompTIA A+ Core 1 CompTIA A+ Core 2 Networking+ They operate on a pass fail system. If you do not get the certification you do not pass the class no matter what and will have to pay for it all over again until you do pass and acquire the certification while using out of date technology on campus grounds. All and all its a waste of money. -You can easily get a subscription to Testout -You can watch Professor Messer on YouTube for free -You can also get courses from Udemy for cheap as well, just wait for the discounts which happen frequently There are plenty of free or cheap alternatives online that you can use instead of paying upwards of 25k+ to come to this college just to use these the above mentioned.

We stood in line outside for what felt like only 10 minutes, and then were taken inside. They had a sign outside to silence your phone before you entered. Mask coverings and social distancing of 6 ft were required. Once inside, they took your drivers license and scanned it into their system. Then, they gave you a voting card and a disposable stylus with a rubber end to it. You're then directed to an automated voting machine to insert your voting card in, and then used your stylus to vote. Once you're done, you took your filled out voting card and scanned it into their final voting machine to tally your vote in, and you're done. The voting process itself felt like it took only a total of 15 minutes to complete. So, if you're planning to vote early in Ford Bend County, this spot is very efficient on a weekday.
