My review is for the Pearson VUE testing center located at ECPI University rather than any program…read moreat the college. I visited in July to take my ISC2 CC (Certified in Cybersecurity) exam. I recently started a new remote job that wanted me to obtain this certification. I arrived over 30 minutes early like the directions I received from Pearson VUE instructed me to. I found parking easily, and the building itself is really nice. The receptionist told me exactly where to go, and I walked through the student lounge and into the library/computer lab. Mrs. Stephanie is the media specialist who runs the library and testing center. Taking any kind of certification exam is stressful but she was laid back and put me at ease. While I was waiting to be called back and waiting on my exam results, I saw her helping ECPI students on the computers, and she seems very devoted to what she does. The actual exam is no joke (most IT certifications are difficult), but thankfully I passed it. I don't even want to know the actual score- seeing "Congratulations, you passed" was enough for me. Mrs. Stephanie printed out my result and gave it to me and was very encouraging. This put me at ease because I was definitely nervous, as this was the first standardized test I've taken since I took the SAT in high school, and my first computerized assessment. I can only speak for her and the receptionist, but they put me at ease as an adult learner in a new-to-me field. This the only Pearson VUE testing center in Charleston, so you need to schedule your exam EARLY. I scheduled my exam in May and the earliest time I could get was July. With that said, if it's an ISC2 exam, you may be thankful for that extra study time- I know I was. I debated driving to Beaufort or Sumter but am glad I opted not to since this site is so much closer to home. I didn't remove a star for the lack of available testing times, but if you need a certain day, you may have to travel to a different location to test. I'm honestly surprised this is the only testing center in the tri-county area with the number of tech professionals and companies here. I don't plan to take any other certification exams soon, but if I do, I will certainly book my appointment early and test here.

Pros: ECPI really want to see you be successful. Most of there professions either work in the…read morefield that they are teaching or have worked in the field they are teaching. I got 2 degree with ECPI (Associates & Bachelors) and I am working on my third (Masters). It's small so you may have more one on one time with the professors if you need it. The entire staff, from Present Weaver to Mr. Neal, are there to help you achieve your goals. The open house is the best open house in the area! The school offers you 10 Certifications at $15 per cert. and the last time I checked the Security + cert was $365.00. *the university is also good for people that have been out of school for along time. Cons: sometimes your classes are out of order to your curriculum but for the most part they keep you on a pretty steady track. Overall: one of the best decisions you can make!

IDI is a great place to learn commercial diving. Not only do you learn how to become safe,…read moreprofessional and efficient at dive operations. You also learn how to be respectful and take on responsibility like an adult. As a veteran I watched carefully as the instructors honed in on teaching leadership to the young men straight out of high school. I also enjoyed the experience they give to veterans. Most of the veteran students are coming straight from the military and idi instructors mostly being veterans help make the transition from military to the civilian workforce easier. So in my honest opinion the staff is great and the experience will land you a dive job so as long as you put the effort into it.

I am actually very thankful the staff at IDI was completely and totally unprofessional. My wife…read moresigned me up for an open water diving certification 3 weeks before Christmas. We never received any information via snail or email despite repeated phone calls and emails. She told me about it Christmas day and called every week afterward to try to get information on the class. We finally decided that we were going to get a refund. The day she called, she was told that the class started the following evening. Wow! thanks for letting us know. Furthermore, the lady who handled the refund passed the buck onto her fellow employees and offered no explanations or apologies and has to be the rudest person in a customer service setting...ever. She made the associates at Wal-Mart seem like the concierge at a 5 star resort. So why am I glad they were rude? My initial plan was to get my open water diver certification to see if I liked diving. I am a tradesman and underwater welding was going to be my next adventure in commercial construction. I choose to take the open water certificate at IDI in order to get a feel for the school. I am glad I did. I never even made it through the door and have decided that they will not be getting my $20,000+ in tuition and fees and it didn't even cost me a dime. I guess my money isn't as good for them as it is for me. Thanks rude customer service lady! Anybody know of a good underwater welding school?

The whole process was seamless and I was able to gain a slot for review very quickly. In person, it turns out, means you are in a room that is monitored by an instructor, remotely. He directs you through the scenarios and watches your performance on manikins. I was impressed! If you're in need of recertification for BLS, ACLS, PALS, etc. this is your ticket.

This review based on the initial client intake and customer service. I've not gotten far enough in…read morethe process to review the actual tutors/methods. I called about two weeks ago to find out about their summer schedule for upper level math tutoring. The phone representative was very pleasant but really could not help me with my questions. They seemed unfamiliar with the upper level math at this location. I had checked the website in advance to confirm they did indeed tutor for higher math, but after speaking with their rep on the phone I no longer felt sure. The rep took down my name and number to pass along to I think the owner. I've never gotten a call back and that was at least 2 weeks ago. My guess is upper level math is outside of their typical client request. Perhaps this location prefers to focus on elementary and middle school students. This is completely fine but their website and customer service should be equipped to explain this to potential new clients. I've waited around for a response when I could have been proceeding with other tutoring centers in town. I wish they had just been upfront with me from the get-go. We will be using online resources and supplementing with tutoring elsewhere this summer. I have heard great things about this franchise in general but this particular location still has some customer service points to refine.

My son started Mathnasium during his 5th grade. He is now a junior in high school taking AP CalcBC…read more I can't begin to express my gratitude toward Tony, Edward, and the staff. Through the supportive and confidence-building environment, my son has never felt behind in STEM-related subjects. He actually likes math! With that, he has had the fortune of participating in the summer programs through DukeTiP for two consecutive years, and recently, he has been accepted to Carnegie Mellon University and Boston University pre-college summer programs for rising seniors. Without the well-thought-out and nurturing support from Mathnasium during his formative years, he would not be where he is today. As math is the foundational building block for various subjects as prerequisites, I feel that every child benefits from a solid math background. Without reservation, I can state that Mathnasium is a caring support system that helped my son feel confident in math and beyond.
