Taking the journey of deciding what to pursue next in a career, I decided to go towards the medical…read morefield since I had the many opportunities in the Military to be apart of the Medical Team on the field and after many months of researching Medical Assistance Programs in the Tampa Bay Area, I chose to take the next step and to tour the schools and institutions. Granted I have a Bachelors Degree in Computer Science and I could have gone straight for RN, which I thought about, but I wanted to introduce myself into a new world. I found Concord Institute by chance while googling and I over-looked it many times! But something was telling me to "GO and check it out" so I did!!! Next thing I know, I was sitting in front of finances, fitting for my scrubs and preparing my picture for my ID. I was enrolled in a Medical Assistant Program I was excited to start!! My time with the instructors, the practice and the hands on learning prepared me for working with surgeons at Tampa General Hospital!!! I never knew what it took to be a Medical Assistant and Concord exceeded those expectations and more. It wasn't all about the hands on learning that was exceptional, but the availability the instructors had to answer all my questions about the practice. I am so glad that I took a leap of faith to be apart of an AMAZING Institute! I am a proud ALUMNI of Concorde and I recommend ANYONE who is looking to start or continue their medical practices to ENROLL NOW! You will thank me later!!! Shout out to all my instructors! Mrs. Capellan, Mrs, Peña, Mrs.McBride and Mrs. Patterson for supporting, pushing and encouraging me to be the best Medical Assistant! Thank you to the WHOLE STAFF AT CONCORD!!

I have a BA and can tell you, I would highly recommend New Horizons to anyone who is thinking about getting a new career. I've been to a lot of schools in my years. But none hold a candle to New Horizons Tampa. The reason why I say this, during my time at NH. I've had some major life hardships from a car accident to major depression. And everyone at NH went beyond what any school should do. They are truly genuinely compassionate and caring but students. Not money. The instructors Devin Ogden, Robert Campbell, Matt Grimes were prepared, engaging and always approachable. Even the front desk Brianne Bradford & Jade Lea-Wellington. Have help beyond the scope of their jobs Especially Bobby Ceklic (General Manager) you wouldn't believe how he is always approachable. And on point getting things done. Even if I was thinking I wasn't that important, but he showed me that even I mattered. Madison Haltiwanger Thxs for always making sure we get all or labs, books, and extra help. Scott MacDonald the man that sold me into this awesome School and always there through the good times and bad. Always following up on me. Debbie Haugland the miracle woman. She can take a horrible resume and turn it into a royal resume. And fulfilling all students with a match of a dream job. Thank you New Horizons of Tampa. For making New Horizons when I saw no horizons for me.

The exray machine was outdated and terribly uncomfortable (I felt like my gums were being cut). The instructor had the compassion of a toenail, she told me I should get one quad deep cleaning and tooth pulled at same time so I wouldn't have to get more needles than I had to. I felt like they just wanted to save money on the anesthesia. I felt belittled because of my teeth health, I'm older and have bone loss, on disability and could not always afford dental care. I also felt that I ethnically didn't fit in. It seems to me the prices were way too high for students who are being educated to work on my mouth.

Every good instructor that I have had so far in my interior design program has left the school since I have started my degree. I have had two instructors so far that have caused problems within the design program and I have reached out to Mr. Essie for help. He stated that no other students have complained and I explained to him that the students are afraid to complain due to the fact that they are not taken serious so they have given up. Just last week I reached out to Mr. Essie I'm confidence to explain to him that a new instructor he has hired has crossed the line professionally with his words to his students calling me bulimic and another girl large with that being said I do want to state that he was joking but it was still unprofessional. Essies direct response was that he didn't believe he would say that but he would talk to him. I immediately found out that he did talk to this professor and told the professor who said the complaint and the following week the professor announced to the class that it was me who made the complaint. I'm usually not a complainer but the school is extremely expensive and nothing is being done to better these students futures. Southern technical college I urge you to take a trip to your Fort Myers campus and look into all of the complaints and take action to provide your students a better future.
