I don't understand the hate, because I graduated from ECPI through their online campus, and I've…read morenever had any issues with them. I had no trouble getting in touch with my instructors, financial aid, career services-anybody really- and I lived on three different continents while I was studying there. I learned a ton through the EET program, and I've already got a great job thanks to my studies and my military experience. I don't live in the Virginia area, but I've never seen anyone raise an eyebrow in a bad way over having ECPI University on my resume. And all this nonsense about it being a for-profit school. I, for one, am GLAD it's a privately-owned for-profit school, because their survival relies solely on the product they put out, and I am really happy with the product I paid for and received. And if you think public schools are there solely as charities and not make money, you're fooling yourselves. If you're looking for a program that will move you through whilst holding your hand every step of the way, maybe you should stick to the government-funded "education" system you grew up with. If you're looking for a degree that will get you in the door anywhere even with no experience, you're going to have to pay a lot more money for it (think Harvard, Yale, Vanderbilt, etc). If you want further your education and build upon your experience, or if you're looking for the missing piece of your resume to get an that position to start your career, this is the place for you. If you're an adult who can handle your own administrative and financial affairs, and you have the drive to learn as much as possible because you love learning, then this is a great place for you.

Enrolling at ECPI, I expected guidance, structure, and support especially in a demanding program…read morelike nursing. Instead, I encountered an environment where students who struggled were often left feeling discouraged rather than helped, and where organization and communication were consistently lacking. One experience in particular deeply affected me. While I was struggling in a course, Ms. Kelly, who serves as both the ADON and a professor, suggested that I leave the nursing program and switch to the medical assistant or surgical tech program. She went as far as calling me a failure and telling me that I "must not be doing enough" to pass. Those words were not only disrespectful but incredibly damaging. Hearing this from someone in a nursing leadership role, someone who should understand the reality and difficulty of nursing school was heartbreaking. Instead of feeling supported, I felt dismissed, humiliated, and discouraged. This experience left me both angry and saddened. Angry because no student deserves to be spoken to that way, and saddened because this is not the kind of leadership or environment I expected in a nursing program meant to prepare compassionate future nurses. I encourage anyone considering this campus especially the nursing program to stay away from this school or you will regret it like I did. The support shown during admissions did not match the reality once classes began. Class sizes were larger than expected, leaving professors overwhelmed and students without enough individual attention. Dr. Edgar, the Director of Nursing, also served as a professor, which led to confusion and unclear direction. Each term, schedules were chaotic, and students were often left confused and expected to figure things out on their own. When concerns were voiced, students became targets and were treated more harshly instead of being supported. After making several attempts to address these concerns, I ultimately chose to withdraw from the program. I'm sharing this experience in hopes that ECPI takes these issues seriously and makes meaningful improvements so future students receive the support they deserve.

This is a great way to learn Spanish, especially if you are looking to get a crash course in navigating your way through a trip in a Spanish speaking country. I think the 16-lesson "pearl belt" is perfect for that. I plan on continuing on to higher levels as I look forward to a career change into social services.

I looked forward to being around people who enjoyed teaching English, and meeting students from all around the world. If I ever came across a family member or friend who needed English support, I would definitely send them here as well. From a volunteer perspective, the Center provides so much support and training for its teachers (who do not need to be professional teachers, so this helps), including a ready-made curriculum and textbooks. Though I've been an ESL tutor in the past, having this institutional support was important for me as I wanted to be well-prepared for my students. The teaching set-up also requires each class to be taught by two teachers, which is very helpful! The students come from all around the world and have many different reasons for being in the program. I loved laughing with them, learning from them (as well as my co-teachers!!), and even learning a few things about the English language myself.

My review is to rebuttal the, what seems to be a gang up on PWA by a past employee. I mean Stevie…read moreWonder can see that. PWA is a great school. We have some of the best teachers I've ever seen. We do NOT do fast food, I bust my butt every day putting out homemade, healthy, well balanced meals. (Yes I am the chef). Of course, life happens and I might become ill and call out, but then and only then will PWA need to get something "fast". I personally take umbrage in what was written by "Martha J & A.J". These two are obviously out to trash PWA, and I say that it's a former employee because, there was information written that only the staff would know. They'd best be careful...untruths, and putting peoples last names our there is NOT cool. My experience at PWA for 5 years and counting is great. The staff work harder than ever to keep this place at the top out our game. All students here excel and none are bullied by staff. NONE, that's an out and out lie! I plan on being here until retire. Administration always has time to listen and fix any situation that arises. They expect us to go above and beyond, and I say, why not? Let's set a higher standard for education. All this being said, I am here defending the establishment that I have grown to love working for, and I appreciate them employing me!

The middle school failed my child this school year. There's a notorious group of students that…read moresystematically bully new kids or someone outside their circle and the worst part, these students are favored among teachers. Multiple complains to the principal resulted in NOTHING! Only a check mark talk with the offenders and the vicious cycle goes on. It's a disgrace that teachers only promote their favorites to win competitions like Science fair. The middle school drastically lacked any fun or engaging events, fundraisers or activities that encouraged team work and inclusion of parents. There was only one field trip throughout the year and no promised end of year concert that even public schools have. The end of year award ceremony was unfairly selective. Throughout the year we got Zero photos from any teacher showing a school day, so it feels like this year just fell out equation with no memories to look back to. There's no graduation ceremony for 5th graders either, which they truly deserve. Since the new owner took over, the school environment (especially in upped grades) is rapidly deteriorating. And it's not surprising, the owner lives outside the country and rarely shows up. My gut feeling was right when I checked the school website before we enrolled and it was generic. And that's how this year felt, generic! A generic website with no teacher names, stock photos of students, there's nothing there that shows actual student life or curriculum or shows any photos of the teachers. This place is about squeezing every dollar they can from paying parents, while failing on delivering the fair support and equal opportunities every student deserves.
