We toured the facilities, the workshops, we actually sat down for some demos from the visual arts department, and then gathered around a kiln for a raku ceramics demo, which was ideal on a cold winter afternoon (winter in Florida?). Also, we were able to visit the gallery, which was hosting a photograph exhibit on the history of turn of the century Lake Apopka, about 40 miles away due West, and that was very interesting and enlightening. We also printed a poster, among other things. Personally, I think it was fun to talk/meet some of the faculty, not that I am immediately looking for a new teacher, but it is good to pick one who has some similarities, or none at all. Challenge yourself. After this visit, I will consider taking some classes here. Or come to more events. I really like Crealdé.

I called today (9 days before the first day) and I was told that it was too late and the last day was Yesterday (10/09/23) (10 days before first session). I pointed out the policy and was told that "session" didn't mean class and it was incorrect so I couldn't get my money back. This is fraudulent. I will be contacting the correct state department for this. This is extremely unprofessional and clearly lacks clarity. If your policy is outdated, correct it on the website. I've attached the policy as a picture.

Several comments focus on "beware" of giving out numbers, but they are very specific and have only aimed to help take care of next steps and I've NEVER EVER felt pressured. They obviously care, but aren't pushy. We're not sure if they will be the place I the end, but it's a real option and I haven't anything bad to say about their practices. Also, they are fully upfront with costs, struggles about timing and trying to hold down a job at the same time, housing issues that are different etc. If anything I was impressed that they were so low pressure. Literal quote: It's okay if you end up not coming here. We just want to give you all the information up front so you'll have a good idea if it makes financial sense for you or not.

I had peeked into Artroom several times finally last year I signed up for a class - the format was really nice ( adult oil ) first weeks all newbies were given a beginners project and Linda walked us through it in detail sharing wonderful tips that I did not even get from Valencia professors - no offense - most importantly her expertise in teaching and reading the class is incredible - she knows each student their capabilities strengths individually and coaches accordingly - giving honest constructive feedback in a very warm manner. People joke that it is a lot cheaper than therapy and works even better. After the initial project everyone works on a project they want and Linda coaches everyone individually on their projects finding bringing resources - recommending references. It is a group class so this level of individualism surprised me in a good way. My only regret is that I did not find artroom sooner

This is a "behind the scenes" Disney thing that most people do not know about. That is, unless you…read morework for Disney or live in Orlando. Those who live in Orlando tend to know a good bit about Disney. Disney University is located behind The Magic Kingdom where the MK Cast Members park every day. Going through Disney University is mandatory for every Cast Member, no matter how big or small the role may be. When hubby (John S.) started working for Disney, he spent his first four days at Disney University and he said he had a blast and they went out of their way to make it a fun experience. Leave it to Disney to pay you for having fun! This is where they teach you all things Disney like saying, "Have a magical day," and pointing with either 2 fingers or your entire hand... never, ever point with just one finger. Pay attention next time you're at Disney, you should never see a Cast Member point with just one finger. They learn all kind of neat things about Walt himself and Disney history too. They even incorporate little games and give out prizes. We have two really cute Disney figurines from hubby answering questions correctly. Like I said, it's "behind the scenes" and something you'll never experience unless you happen to go to work for Disney World, but I wanted to review it because I know there are many people who are interested in what happens behind the magic at Disney. =)

The surgical tech program here only gives you the AST certification...not an AS degree or the national board certification that most hospitals and surgical centers look at for their new hires. Besides that, my instructor MELISSA RODRIGUEZ was extremely unprofessional, lazy, and more childish than most of the students attending the program. She would gossip about all of the students and if you did not try to be best friends with her and kiss her butt every second of the day, she would turn incredibly rude and give you no guidance whatsoever. There were so many things that I needed to learn that she never showed the class. A month before my lab final she excluded me from practicing in the OR with her simply because she had negative, personal feelings towards me. I witnessed her enabling cheating from my other classmates and the list of unprofessionalism just goes on and on... Unfortunately, the director of the program, TIMOTHY LAMB seems to protect her unprofessional behaviors instead of doing the right thing by the students and hiring a much better, and qualified instructor. The social environment of the program, and especially my own classroom became so toxic to me that I made the decision to withdraw halfway through this program in order to protect my mental health. If OCPS knows what's good for them and the success of the attending students, they would do a complete overhaul of the surgical technology department. I am currently enrolled to start a much better program at another school in the near future. I can't say I didn't receive SOME type of learning experience from my time there! Now, onto better and more positive experiences.
