He trains you to think physiology and biochemistry, which is the basis of medicine. I cannot stand reviews courses that swear by First Aid or just recite any major book without actually doing a thinking process to get to an answer. That's why I like Dr Francis' approach. In terms of the tutors... much is left to be desired. I only dealt with 2 of them. One of them shouldn't be a tutor. He's just not there to truly guide you, his approach is so tepid and confusing, and I feel he got annoyed with any student who actually showed progress. (That was my perception). I wish the course delved a little bit more on anatomy and diagnostic testings though. Which honestly is part memorization for anatomy. Also, I think it's useful that courses are "mixed" for the various steps. I think it's comical when students complain "but this is step 1 stuff"... mmm no, every topic is all steps. You need a solid base to approach the other tests beyond step 1. One thing I must say, the book has poor binding. In less than a month it started to come apart, and I treated it very gingerly. They seriously need to upgrade the binding of it.

I did receive antibiotics and an IV, One of the ladies told me on the phone that was fine and she re- enrolled me in the courses to start over, Then I start getting text messages from another lady in the office saying that my note did not suffice and they needed One that was itemized, showing the reason that I was at the doctor in the first place. This is against HIPAA law, and they were trying to make me pay to do The courses again. Then they text me again offering for me to pay $100 to redo only day two as a "favor" This was completely invasive, and I felt like I was being interrogated for why I went to the doctor, Mind you I had a doctors note to prove that I was there, I'm 39 years old and never experienced this even as a High school student. The letter had the clinic letterhead on it, and was signed by the nurse, I called the nurse and she said to have them call her, but she would not be discussing why I was there because it's against HIPAA. Needless to say money down the drain and I will not be returning to the school I cannot believe how attacked I felt over me getting sick. It was very strange..... To say the least You're also complete full of it with your response, there is a physician and it's a wellness clinic allowed to administer iv and antibiotics, I didn't miss class to go get Botox.

I have no idea why this specific Fortis location isn't on Yelp. I've seen other Fortis locations…read morelisted, but they have different addresses, so to be clear, this review is for the Fortis Institute located at 450 N Sam Houston Pkwy E, Ste 200, Houston, TX 77060. I attended this school for the Medical Assistant program to work toward becoming a CCMA (Certified Clinical Medical Assistant). At the beginning, my experience was okay and I didn't have many issues with my classes or instructors. However, as I got further into the program, my experience started to change. There were three staff members in particular that I had issues with. 1. Ms. Marin: I later found out that she would talk about me and my friends, and there were times when she would call us out in front of the entire class in a way that made us feel singled out or less than everyone else. I don't think students should be made to feel embarrassed in front of their classmates, especially by an instructor. 2. Ms. Nun: Whenever I had class with her, I felt like we barely learned anything. I specifically remember my friends and I asking if we could go through the skills list and practice different things to see what we still remembered and what we needed more help with. We were trying to make sure we were actually prepared, but our request was basically ignored and we barely practiced anything. 3. Ms. Moxcley: Toward the end of the program, we were told that we would receive assistance with finding employment. I remember reaching out to her multiple times about finding a job, but I would either receive no response or very little communication. Because I wasn't getting anywhere, I recently contacted Ms. Goss for help finding an MA position. I explained that I'm specifically interested in working as a Medical Assistant in an OB/GYN clinic. She told me she would call me. When she called, I happened to be busy and missed it, but I returned her call shortly afterward. She didn't answer, so I sent her a message letting her know I had called back and was available. This happened Tuesday. By Friday, I still had not received a response to any of the messages I sent afterward. I finally sent another message, and she responded saying she would call me "momentarily." I waited about two hours and still did not receive a call. That is what finally pushed me to leave this review. One of the things students are told is that Fortis will help them with employment after completing the program. In my experience, once you're finished with the school, getting that help has been extremely frustrating. Messages go unanswered, communication is inconsistent, and the employment assistance I was told I would receive has not been what I expected. I also don't understand the point of asking students what area they want to specialize in as an MA if the positions they are being directed toward aren't related to what they said they were interested in. I understand that nobody can guarantee you a specific job, but there is a difference between not being able to guarantee employment and simply not communicating with a former student who is actively asking for assistance. I completed my program and I'm genuinely trying to start my career and put my education to use. I'm not asking anyone to hand me a job. I'm asking for the career assistance and communication that we were told would be available to us. Unfortunately, my experience trying to receive that assistance has been extremely disappointing.

And I wanted to take this time to recognize these two ladies, Tammy Buster and Vivian Goss, who work in the Career Services Dept at the Fortis Institute North Campus. They are so amazing, ladies, and they helped me in getting the remote current job that I just started a week ago. From the bottom of my heart, words can't express how much they mean to me, and I know at times I would get on their nerves with the many text messages and emails, but they truly were able to see how driven and eager I was to work in a rewarding career. They saw how passionate I was in helping people and making a difference in my patients' lives and healthcare as a whole.

I would strongly recommend doing your research before enrolling in the HVAC program here…read more When I first enrolled, I was told by the advisors that completing the HVAC course would count as two years of experience toward the requirements for technicians. After completing the program and spending thousands of dollars, I found out that the program was not approved by the State of Texas for that purpose. That was extremely disappointing, especially considering this was information I specifically relied on when deciding to enroll. The cost of the program also does not seem to match the education and hands-on training provided. During the seven-month program, many of the courses covered the same material repeatedly. Of the seven courses I took, I would estimate that approximately 85% of the content was repetitive. The hands-on portion was another major issue. There were multiple occasions where the lab did not have the necessary materials or proper tools available. We were frequently told that materials would be available the following week, but they often were not. In my opinion, an HVAC program should prioritize hands-on training and making sure students have access to the equipment and tools they need to actually learn the trade. I also found it unnecessary that a solar panel course was incorporated into the HVAC program. After spending years working in the HVAC industry, I have found that solar is not something we regularly work with in the field. I paid over $20,000 for the program, and honestly, the only part I feel provided significant value was some of the tools included with the program--and even then, I would estimate that only about 30% of them were genuinely useful to me. Overall, I felt that attendance was prioritized more than the quality and depth of the training. I would not recommend this HVAC program based on my experience. I have personally spoken with several other people who were considering attending and shared my experience with them, and they ultimately chose different schools and have been much happier with their training. This is simply my personal experience, but I believe prospective students deserve to know what they may be getting into before spending this much money on an HVAC education.

To whom it may concern:…read more February 23, 2015 I am a student at Everest Houston Greenspoint enrolled in the Information Technology Program. I first met with the admissions manager on or about the 1-20-15 and again on 1-27-15 when I decided to enroll. I choose Everest because I was led to believe it was well run, with an easy to understand but challenging IT program taught by a highly educated professor with a reputation for being a good instructor. I was led to believe that I would be enrolling in a program that would get me ready to enter the workforce with the right knowledge and certifications that employers are looking for. I began a day late on the 28th of February 2015. I did not receive orientation. I did received a syllabus, reading material, a backpack, IT tool kit and shirts. I also did not receive my computer until February 2nd or my external hard drive (WD My Passport) until the 5th. Since the beginning of school to the present date 2-23-15 many red flags have gone up. 1)There was only one instructor for two classes happening simultaneously; which forced both classes to share part of our 4 hrs 2)The class was not geared towards beginners, as my admissions manager had said. She said "The instructor shows you everything from how to turn on the computer all the way up" My first and only class was over Linux and Mac (two separate operating systems) 3)The internet speed is inadequate to conduct classes that rely on computers to produce work and learn. I have 11 speed tests done over 6 days at various times to prove this. 4)There were no lectures or step by step demonstration done by the instructor; with exception of 2 YouTube videos. 5)The syllabus was not followed. There was a test given before it appeared on the syllabus and out of the 4 weeks I attended we only got through week 1 of the syllabus. 6)The work that was done was not able to be turned in. The instructor would not accept it until he finished his portal; which wasn't ready until 2-16-15 and to date has not been graded. This allows no way for students know if what we had completed and studied to be correct or not. 7)February 20th there was nothing for students who were done with their work to do since there were no Week 2 handouts or labs given to us but there was a due date for the work of February 23rd at 11:59pm. (We did not receive them that day or over the weekend) 8)February 23rd I arrived at school to find out from 3 of my classmates that the Professor would not be coming back to class. He had called or texted those students to deliver the news. We sat without an instructor the entire day. As of today, February 24th, I have withdrawn from this school. I have asked to not be billed beyond materials used and 10 days of instruction time. The Director of Education and the Finance Department informed me that only the Campus President could make adjustments to the billing and he declined to meet with me. This situation, as everything thus far, has been handled poorly. It is my experience that the statements made by admissions are misleading and all together incorrect. The Instructors are spread too thin and lack the organization necessary to effectively lead a classroom. The school is not set up to properly to run high speed internet to support an Information Technology program and the campus President shifts blame on what has transpired to the students instead of taking responsibility and agreeing to meet with students who have been so profoundly affected. I only hope that this and the other reviews I have posted save future students of being robbed of their time and money by an institute that is not qualified to run an IT program.
