    The Elmentrary Education department is not great. ESE isn't much better, but the director is ok…read more (Unlike Elm.) In the time Ive been in the program, ive have 2 really good teachers that taught something, the others are so detached from the field and their students, they have no idea what a classroom today looks like, nor do they have the experience in multiple classroom levels to speak about the topic on the level expected. If your a working adult stay away from this program. You are not able to work while in this program. (Well maybe a 10$ and hour job bagging groceries). If you have experience in the classroom, just pretend like you dont, all but 2 professors have use it against me, I did not feel safe to speak up in their classrooms. I would be cut off, or not called on, they will doubt your work because it so good. The times for classes are ok, would prefer the all remote so the professor cant lie and say they said it in class when they didnt. No important topics covered in class. Just a bunch of busy work that wont help you when you graduate. Here's a cleaned up version that keeps your tone and point but reads clearer and more professional: The Elementary Education department is not great. The ESE program is not much better, although the director is reasonable to work with (unlike Elementary). During the time I have been in the program, I have only had two professors who were genuinely good teachers and actually taught meaningful content. The rest seemed very detached from the field and from their students. Many of them do not appear to understand what classrooms today actually look like, nor do they have experience across multiple grade levels to speak about teaching on the level expected of future educators. If you are a working adult, I would strongly recommend staying away from this program. It is extremely difficult to maintain a job while enrolled. Realistically, the only way someone could work while completing the program would be a very low-hour, low-pay job. For anyone supporting themselves or working full time, the expectations make balancing work and school nearly impossible. Another challenge I experienced was how prior classroom experience was treated. Instead of being valued, it often felt like it was used against me. I quickly learned that it was easier to pretend I had no experience at all. In most classes, I did not feel comfortable speaking up. When I tried to contribute, I was sometimes cut off, not called on, or my work was questioned because it was "too good." That environment made it difficult to participate honestly in discussions. The class times themselves were manageable, but I would have preferred fully remote options. At times, professors would claim something had been explained in class when it had not been clearly covered. Overall, many of the courses focused on busy work rather than practical skills that would actually help future teachers once they graduate. I expected more meaningful preparation for the realities of today's classrooms.

    TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE HERE!! If I could add zero stars I would. I was told by a counselor to talk to…read morethe DRC because I can't pass a simple math class for the life of me. The DRC has messed with my time and patience multiple times already because they keep changing up the documentation they need to be able to accept the fact that I have anxiety and need more time and even more help when it comes to certain subjects. They have made it physically impossible to get help and have made me cry as I walk out the door because the woman in charge of the DRC talk to you as if you're a child instead of a young adult trying to get proper help. On top of that, it took me coming in 4 more times for them to accept all of my transfer credits and my fasfa because they don't have proper protocol and always seem to blame technology or other schools, etc for they're mess ups. I just transferred here. It is absolutely ridiculous I have to deal with these unprofessional, belittling, shitty adults. Please look at all your options before deciding to go to this school.

    My daughter just completed the CNA class at the Fort Myers location…read more It was a terrible experience from the get go. She is a college junior with an intended nursing degree, so she thought getting her Nurse Aide certification while she was in Florida for the summer working an internship would be a beneficial way to spend her summer. I wish we had never paid for this class. For the amount of money charged, she should have gotten consistent education. Instead, she was taught different methods to complete the clinical tasks depending on whom was teaching the class. When the owner taught, she was taught the correct way. But he was only there for 1 or 2 days out of the week. The rest of the time, they were taught by someone who didn't teach them the correct way. Therefore, the next class at which the owner was present, they would be taught all over again using a different method. This was very confusing for the students. The day before the test to pass the class, they were learning NEW skills. Additionally, for the cost of the class and considering the job for which they are preparing, there SHOULD have been hands on clinical practice with real people. At orientation they were told they would be doing clinicals at a nursing home. Instead, they were given the option to stay and work only on a mannequin since that is what they will use to pass the test. Of course, that is what the class chose, so they never touched a real live person and only did clinicals on an 80 pound mannequin. I don't think they should have been given the option to not practice on humans.Instead, they never touched a real live person and only did clinicals on an 80 pound mannequin. Not very preparatory for the real world. Out of the 8 people in the class, my daughter was the only one to actually pass the clinical portion in order to pass the class. Passing the class is required in order to schedule the state exam. My daughter is only in Florida for the summer and was assured that she would be able to test with the state before she left in Mid August because she passed the test for the class the first time. Instead, here we are two weeks later and she only just received her invitation to be fingerprinted today (after showing up at the facility and demanding that someone DO something!). The fingerprint invitation should have been sent the day or day after she passed her class. She is supposed to be flying back to PA on Friday. We will have to fly her BACK to Florida to take the certification exam with the state, but by that time it will have been 6 weeks since she finished the class and her skills will be rusty to say the least. My mother taught nurse aides for decades and certified them here in PA. Perhaps things are done differently in Florida, but the education and experience was far inferior to the education received in PA. Perhaps that is also why the state of PA will not accept her training there to take the certification exam here. We are out $850+ for a worthless class that taught her little and ended with no state certification because of a lack of consistent education and care by those that run the program. Also if only 1/8 people pass the class the first time, something is wrong. We are lucky my daughter passed, I guess. Disappointed is an understatement. Buyer beware.

    The administrators are very helpful. They answered all my questions and made the enrollment process…read morequite easy. The teachers are knowledgeable and very engaging. My experience here was great and I would highly recommend coming here.

    tried very hard to avoid writing this review but the career source has continuously reached out for…read moreme asking for it. I think 1 asking for a review is tacky. 2 when i needed anything from this school, nursing program, or career sources it was extremely difficult, so they only act like they care when it benefits them. Career services knew I was taking a different path than most in my field. She then cut my meeting short when I had many questions and said she would reach out after graduation. She has reached out multiple times for a review, but not once helping me with employment or even reaching out to finish our conversation. The school has an entire career source program, and the first time i heard from them was on my final day of classes. They have not helped me in a job search nor any of my questions. I've asked multiple times for advice on how to navigate what I want to do and I've heard nothing. The lectures i sat through taught me nothing about real nursing and was basically how to coddle a grown adult. I learned more in 12 days to prepare me for the NCLEX then i did in the 2 years in this program. I've been in 2 other nursing programs, one bachelors and dropped out, second FSW and dropped due to covid, but those programs were much more structured and i learned much more in my time there. The skill days were a joke and reinacted with fake tools rather than learning how to do something. The skill days and labs in the other schools were much more real life. I think everyone learned only during oreceptor, even during clinical's we were not allowed to do anything or not wanted. The program itself was not helpful, the dean quit half way through my second last semester and was not available. Nobody took her place and students were not even informed regarding this, but rather swept under the rug and negatively effected our learning ang grades as we tried to reach out for help or advice and was told no. I was denied tutoring by a pregnant staff member because she had other priorities, she probably shouldn't have been teaching that semester then. The school hounds you on due dates and penalize you, but they can't stick to their own schedule and everything is chaos all the time. they forget to tell you things or tell you last minute then blame the students. I was an evening/ weekend student and ended up on days. I missed out on work and the school pretends small class sizes are designed to help you, when asking for help the teachers throw temper tantrums. I was bullied and singled out by those teachers as well as atleast 6 other students i know. The policy is looked aside for certain students and favoritism is very much a thing. Appeals have been made multiple students and they pick and choose who to help vs who to not. after paying 20k and making it to every class for 2 years, my friend was denied re entry after not passing her last 6 weeks, when other students have had their grades changed to push them through. I have photo evidence of all of this and will be reaching out for loan reimbursement.

    ELECTRICAL PROGRAM…read more If you are interested in enrolling into this school for the electrical program please just give this post a thought. As a young adult, going to this school has been the worst mistake i have made financially. Mostly because the program has no upside to it when wanting to become a real electrician. This school has done nothing for my career other than making me in debt 12k+. I literally never even went up there to pick up my diploma because it has no value to being an electrician. I make all A's at this school. This program is a complete joke. To be honest, if you want to become an electrician, this program is the last place i would go. The sales ladies or "counselors" as they say are there to make you sign a piece of paper, they are not there to look out for you. The teachers lie. You ask questions about how to become a journeyman electrician and a license electrical contractor and they just lie to you and brain wash you. They don't give you a real answer and that's because you're sitting in the wrong spot and putting your money into the wrong program. This program doesn't go toward an apprentice or a state credited program to become an electrician because you will have to do that when wanting to become an electrician. This is my advice If you're serious about wanting to become an electrician the real way and get licensed is by going to a local company that offers an apprenticeship. There are plenty in the area. They will pay for you to go to school. If you go to this program you will still have to go through the schooling once you get out anyways but this way it's FREE! Now as a year fourth apprentice and about to be taking my journeyman test in a few months, this is something i have looked back and regretted almost everyday. especially around this time every month when 150 gets taken out of my bank. I hate to knock this school because i have no clue what the other programs are like by any means but this program needs to go away. I promise it's nothing but a money grab for the school. They sure got me when i went up there as a younger kid not knowing anything and they told me everything i wanted to hear. Please just consider this when considering the program. Don't do it i sure wish someone was there to tell me not too. Lastly, whoever is in charge at this school i would love to have a conversation. You see my name, im sure you can find my contact in your files.
