He did a really good job explaining everything clearly, kept the class interesting, and was also very funny, which made the online class enjoyable and easy to follow. I definitely recommend taking his class! I also hope that anyone who joins his online class gives him the respect he deserves by participating, listening, and paying attention. He puts effort into teaching and making sure everyone understands the material, so the least we can do as students is be respectful and engaged. Thank you, Mr. Armando, for making the class both informative and fun!

Ms. Maritza is truly one of the best instructors I have ever had. I am extremely grateful that I…read morehad the opportunity to have her as my CST instructor. She genuinely cares about her students and goes above and beyond to make sure they understand the material, feel prepared, and have the confidence they need to succeed. What makes Ms. Maritza stand out is how dedicated she is to her students. She is knowledgeable, patient, supportive, and always willing to explain something again or help when a student is struggling. She doesn't just teach you what you need to know for an exam--she prepares you to become a competent and confident Surgical Technologist in the real world. Throughout the program, she pushed us to improve while still making us feel supported. You can tell that she takes pride in seeing her students succeed, and that made a huge difference in my experience. Her teaching and guidance played an important role in preparing me for my CST exam and for my future career in the operating room. I cannot thank Ms. Maritza enough for everything she has taught me and for all the time and effort she puts into her students. Any student who has the opportunity to learn from her is extremely fortunate. I would recommend her without hesitation. She is an amazing instructor, mentor, and person, and I will always appreciate the impact she had on my journey toward becoming a CST.

This place is VERY understated and probably could be charging quadruple what they do. A lot of places have good staff but I think what sets this place apart is the company culture, which is no small factor when your kid is trying to thread the needle through all of the little details that matter in the application process (and those little things do matter if your dream is one of the top schools). The staff members all work as a team, surrounding your kid with an army of people who not only know what they're doing, (you can get that at a lot of places) but who ACTUALLY CARE and personally go above and beyond to see them succeed. They almost feel like extended family, an army of support. You can pay someone to help your kid out with applications, but you can't pay Somone to actually care! That is the difference with Elite. I don't know what or how they go about hiring people or what they do to foster that type of culture but the benefits of it go to your kid and in our case the results speak for themselves. Sure my kid is smart, has near perfect grades and test scores but so do thousands of other kids with near identical profiles. Elite helped my kid stand out from the crowd. They truly know what they are doing. Thank you thank you Elite!! A true trajectory changer for my kid. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME on all of those "fancy" places that charge double or in some cases quadruple. I almost did and I'm so glad I didn't.

Overall, I did learn a lot at this school -- but unfortunately, that had everything to do with the…read moreinstructors and nothing to do with the school's administration. It's honestly a shame that the school wasn't willing to take proper care of great instructors who genuinely went above and beyond for students. The few instructors who truly cared about our success -- people who made a real difference -- are no longer with the school. That alone should be a huge red flag about what kind of environment this really is. Worse yet, the school actually dropped a student simply because he was getting real hands-on experience outside of class -- the kind of experience we should have been getting through the school itself. But instead of encouraging that kind of initiative, they punished it. Meanwhile, we were stuck using outdated units and wasting time in so-called "training" that felt more like going through the motions. It's honestly pathetic that the administration would rather students receive fake, useless training than anything that might actually prepare them for the real world. The office staff? Completely disorganized and uninterested in helping students. At one point, someone assigned to assist us with résumés couldn't even spell the word "college" correctly and didn't help us build résumés at all. Several classmates said he included completely inaccurate information on theirs -- which is ridiculous for someone whose job is supposed to be helping students become job-ready. Then there were the pointless assemblies that wasted valuable class time. One of them turned into a three-hour sales pitch from Klein. Another, right before graduation, was hosted by union reps who barely mentioned HVAC at all and instead focused on the electrical program. When I brought this up to the office, their response was to tell me to "chill" -- like I was the problem for wanting my time to be respected. Clearly, they had no clue what those presentations were even about, and even less interest in whether they were relevant to our field. Graduation wasn't any smoother. I had to repeatedly chase the office just to find out when I'd get my certificate, only to be told they were too busy because the school was being audited -- which only raises more red flags. I also had to handle my own financial exit paperwork because no one followed up with me, even though that was their responsibility. As for job placement, the promise of a 95% placement rate turned out to be nonsense. I got a few job leads right before graduation, but none of them matched what I trained for. There's no real system in place to help students get meaningful employment -- just empty promises and marketing tactics to get people through the door. At the end of the day, the instructors were the only redeeming part of this school -- and now they're gone. The people who made the program worth attending were pushed out or left, and what's left behind is a disorganized mess that does a disservice to the students it claims to support. If you're thinking about enrolling, be warned: you're not walking into a program built to help you -- you're walking into a school that's willing to let good teachers walk away and students fall through the cracks.
