I attended RCC for 2.5 years for the Vet Tech program. It has it's pros and it has it's cons…read more PROS: -Instructors are very nice. If you are there to learn and you're determined, you will get the attention and help you need to succeed. If you are there and do not try your hardest, instructors will not go out of their way to assist you in your future. I loved all of my vet tech instructors. -It is challenging. I was not expecting such an extensive program given that it is Rockford. I was TOTALLY wrong. This is possibly the hardest program/educational course I have ever gone through. This program will pick out your weaknesses and you will need to study your butt off. This isn't a program that you can just sit back and relax in. -Price is fairly cheap. Now, given that I started the program when tuition was $36k for the entire program, RCC has made changes so those with some financial trouble are able to attend. I believe it is now $160 for each credit hour? Don't take my word for it, but prices have dropped. CONS: -Vet Tech program changed about 2-3 times while I was attending classes there. The school was undergoing some changes and that caused me to have a later graduation date than originally stated, which in turn made me upset. I was set to finish the program in December, but instead, now finishing in March. It may not seem like a huge deal, but after so long in the program, I was ready to be done. -Everyone in power is hard to get in touch with. Several times my father has tried to get in touch with the financial adviser at RCC and will not get a call back. Same goes with e-mail to some of the staff and program director. I understand that there are several students to get in touch with, but speed should be improving, especially since RCC is growing. -Staff is sometimes unpleasant. There have been several instances where I have come in contact with some grumpy people. My fellow vet tech student ordered Jimmy Johns to have delivered to the front desk so she could eat lunch during our 12 hour day in the vet tech department. When Jimmy Johns arrived, the "manager" Dewey, basically yelled at my friend that ordering food and having the front desk assistant notify her when her food was there is unacceptable and is not allowed to be done. I understand how this can be a problem, but it was like the umpteenth time she had done this. And Jackie at the front is not always so peachy. There have been a few times she has made me sign in when I had forgotten my ID. She clearly knows me, as I have been going there for 2 years. But she is never really pleasant to me, -The front doors are open a majority of the time. We are given ID badges when we first sign up for our program and they are to be used and warn at all times. There is no need of the badges if the front doors are always open to intruders. And of course, when they do close the doors, I forget my badge, and I get blamed for not having my ID the one day they DO decide to close the doors. RCC is in Rockford and Rockford isn't really all that safe. Those doors should be close all the time except for orientation. It wasn't my favorite school, but I am glad to have gone through the Vet Tech program. Would highly recommend the program, not necessarily the school. Happy to be graduating in MARCH!

DISCLAIMER- LENGTHY REVIEW LOL:…read more I just recently graduated from the Medical Assisting program and it is bittersweet! I am super excited for my future but also super sad to be finished with school. The program was about 4.5 months and time went by so surprisingly quick but I have gained so much knowledge in that short period of time. From the beginning, I researched pretty extensively for esthetics schools around the area and came across ISBA. It seemed to be extremely detailed in what it had to offer so I scheduled an in-person interview with Dr. Doran. I brought my husband along with my two year old toddler and she was so welcoming and passionate in what she had to explain to me. I'm already a licensed cosmetologist so she took the time to ask me herself what my future endeavors are such as my goals, career, what I planned on getting out of the esthetics program. (I told her I enjoy doing hair, but skincare interests me and I might want to work in a medspa, etc later on) Instead of pushing me forward and just letting me apply/enroll in the program, she explained why it wouldn't benefit me as much considering that I was already licensed in cosmetology and if I still planned on staying in the hair industry. It would basically be like getting licensed for something I'm already qualified to do. She then explained about their MA program if medspa is what I'm leaning towards because being a certified MA would improve my current qualifications/resume whereas just being another licensed esthetician would be the same as I am now if that makes sense. The fact that she took the time to talk me out of their more expensive program and into another program to benefit me personally was enough for me to already want to enroll. It shows how much she cares for people individually and cares for everyone's success/future. Also, the fact that their class sizes are so small (my class only had 7 people) shows that she takes pride in who enrolls because she talks to them and makes sure the program is the correct fit for both the student and her. I truly appreciate and respect that. As for the MA program teacher, Ms. Helen; she is amazing. She is honest, fun & funny, caring and most importantly, patient. She teaches in the perfect pace where it isn't too slow nor too fast. If someone is having difficulty grasping a lesson/concept, she takes the time to pause and makes sure that student understands before moving forward without making it seem degrading or embarrassing. Our class asks ALOT of questions, most of the time confusing questions lol, and she makes sure she answers all of them til we understand and goes into depth with it. If she is unsure herself, she takes the time to research until there is a solid/clear answer. She provided us with her own handwritten flash cards & study games to help us prepare for our NHA exam. I had a little bit of prior education in the medical field from being in the military.. but there were a lot of topics where I was unable to retain the information after all these years. But going over those same topics with Ms. Helen, I am able to remember them and retain them easily because she teaches in a way where you're not just remembering terms/concepts, you're actually understanding why/what/etc. I am super appreciative of her and I'm so proud and glad I was apart of this program. I have a few friends/family who were apart of other MA programs that were a year long and after speaking with them, they didn't learn or go over a lot of the same material we had gone over nor had the same great learning experience. So I'm definitely pleased that I chose to go with this school because it was so worth it! Thank you ISBA!

This is an ideally located North side school that trains students on how to sterilize instruments…read moreused at hospitals, run by the knowledgeable John Ocansey and his lovely daughter Julie. Not only does he do the training but he (and Julie) goes the extra mile by helping each and every student get a job in the medical field after they graduate. One caveat here, there is no such thing as a guaranteed job! Nobody can offer you that. So the graduate MUST be flexible in regards to where they're going to work, which might mean traveling to a location that is out of the way or working inconvenient hours in order to be flexible. But once you get that experience you'll have a much better chance of getting a better position in the future. John is a man of many talents, he recruits, trains and places students in a field where there is currently a limited shortage. Both him and Julie are approachable and open to helping anybody who has a serious commitment for entering the medical field. So if you're currently unemployed seeking a fulfilling position in the medical field go see John and Julie Ocansey at AIPS, you'll be glad you did!
