False advertising. The only great thing about this school is some of the instructors and the brilliant students who welcome you to class. Other than that, some of the office staff are rude, nonchalant, and unhelpful--especially to night classes. They do nothing to support us, including with career pathways. I've applied to jobs and attended job fairs on my own. This school is a sham, and I'm honestly embarrassed to call it my home college. I can't even talk to my family about the school because it doesn't provide all the necessary tools to carry out my education, and the tools they do give us are bottom-of-the-barrel cheap. Half of my tools are already broken. The lab we were promised still isn't even finished, and I graduate soon. Don't get me started on attendance policies. I can't even keep the job I need to help pay my bills because they threaten to drop you if you miss class due to work or other responsibilities. This is outrageous and disappointing because we literally had a class mate get stabbed. I did not feel safe or supported by my school. When you have to look over your shoulder when leaving class, it is clearly an unsafe learning environment. read more

I've been taking the occasional cooking course through the "Saturday Chef". Helm College offers a hands-on cooking class series designed for all skill levels. The goal is to develop or sharpen your skills, help you try something new, and enjoy different culinary experiences. Expert chefs guide you step by step in 'hands-on' instruction in a commercial kitchen setting. Everything is provided, utensils, pots, pans, appliances and ingredients. Students just show up and cook. I've really enjoyed my time and can recommend. Fair warning though. These classes always sell out. read more
