    I took the front-end development class in the summer of 2015, which covered HTML5, CSS3 and Javascript (or more specifically, jQuery).

    You get out of life what you put into it-- the same can be said for IMS. My experience was as…read moreadvertised; I was on-air the same week I started classes and I was given ample opportunities to call games from high school basketball state tournament games to D-I volleyball. I busted my buns going through the program and I was able to land two ENTRY LEVEL jobs. Keywords being ENTRY LEVEL-- If people go into this thinking they are going to replace Stephen A. Smith after 9 months of schooling, pump your brakes! I have seen students land some great gigs after graduation but again, you have to hit the ground running; getting an internship OUTSIDE of the school is a great first step. Showing up to class and completing your class assignments is an obvious one, too. **You also have to be willing to move out of the country's 3rd largest media market to find that first job.** These other reviews are bellyaching about IMS NOT finding them a job. They help you. The career services director has regular business hours and you can schedule a meeting. You can gain some valuable contacts that may or may not land you employment. A job is not going to be handed to you. If you're going into this thinking that's how it is going to happen...think again. What in life is simply handed to you? I'll wait... Yes, I was encouraged to enroll in the other programs IMS offered (it is a business too, after all.) I did not enroll, but they offer some FANTASTIC opportunities as well; You can get NBA certified if you go through the Winter Sports Emphasis program while working with the Windy City Bulls. #dope Yes, the equipment is a bit dated. However, you still can learn the basics of editing, camera operating and running a sound board for your talk show on either of their two on-campus radio stations. **They are teaching Premier now instead of Final Cut which is a definite plus.** IMS employs working professionals who know whats really going on within the media industry. Other than the hands-on experience, the relationships I made with the instructors held the most value for me. Its a competitive field to break into. Keep your head down and Ill see you at work.

    If you are coming from a 4 year or 2 year college and already studied broadcasting, you can skip…read morethis altogether. The equipment is outdated and this is where you go to learn the very basics of broadcasting. I "graduated" in 2016 and myself and a handful of my classmates never recieved our certificates. I paid every dime to tuition options( their lender) worked 2 jobs to cover every balance. Why was I told I STILL owe $115? Apparently, after they moved TWICE and hiring new staff every other year, their books and ledgers are all over the place and in spite of my letter from their lender saying I've PAID IN FULL and owe nothin. The school is convinced I magically still owe. There is no magical job in broadcasting at the end of this tunnel. Talented or not. And Apparently no certificate either. I'm looking into an education attorney or filing a class action suit with my former classmates.

The teachers are top-notch, and the practice materials and exams are incredibly helpful, and all those virtual labs to clear concepts giving you a hands on experience was super helpful. I passed Comptia A+, Security+, and Network+ with them, and Patrick and Peter were amazing always there to answer my questions and clear up any confusion. They're super friendly and always give you all the info you need. Plus, having the option for both online and in-person classes made it so much more convenient. On top of all that, CTS helped me polish my resume, shared legit job leads based on the courses I took, and kept me in the loop about upcoming job fairs. Choosing CTS was one of the best decisions I've made. everything was great.

    I was glad that an acquaintance referred me to Directions. They were able to set me up with a…read morecurriculum that included software training through a vendor that met my career needs when nobody else could. I will say that not everything has run smoothly though. There have been some items that seem to have been left out of our initial conversations. When I attempted to work through them with the staff, they spoke to me as if I should have known. I was quite disappointed with them that they treated me as though it was my mistake when clearly they left information out. I would only recommend Directions to someone with the caveat to ask a ton of questions. Ask questions about things you may not think are important. Ask questions that you might ask a college/university if you were taking out student loans and taking classes with them. Rescheduling will happen. Be prepared for it! It will be difficult to work some of the dates around other classes that have been scheduled. Be prepared to be frustrated!

The instructor that was sent out on-site to our office did a wonderful job training and was very knowledgeable. The content of the material is of a high caliber, but very applicable to our needs in our industry. I would take courses from Directions again, if given the opportunity.
