Intuition told me not to pay them to train me after all isn't the model the asset?…read moreThey seemed like nice people though however Mrs kaitlyn was an hour late to my appointment. It seems she was prioritizing making a sale with another client rather than being punctual. The girl, I was speaking with was explaining some things to me, but when I pressed her into detail, things started to get a bit confusing I believe she was using a sales tactic known as pacing. Once I had a good point to make I was cut off. I noticed some contradictions in her statements such as " some agencies look for a unique look so you need to know what you want to show" and as I became more skeptical she said " there are tons of attractive guys In Houston if you don't have the training they will go with the other attractive guy". Seemed a bit devaluing after they asked me to get a ton more headshots for a unique look. They then said it would be too risky for me to be trained for free as I could just "dip out" whenever, but I don't believe that to make any logical sense as why would I waste my time training to become a model to only then say thanks now I'm gonna go ahead and try to find another agency that will find me work so I can make money when they were already going to set me up with jobs to start my career with. A reputable agency makes commission off of the work you do with the client, around 10-20 percent. They also made another statement which was false. "No agency is going to train you for free." Which isn't the case. Then when I asked them about the negative reviews online regarding models paying for classes and not receiving any work, she then blamed the models for "not opening emails or paying attention to the work that was sent to them ". If an agency sees potential in you they will train you not ask for thousands of dollars for classes.

I have graduated from the 1300 hour program now so I have had ample time in this school…read more The amount of hands on practice you will get totally depends on you. Come in early to get more practice or stay late if needed. They are flexible with time. As long as you make the effort there is no problem. They push for you to use scrap metal from the Recycle bin daily to get the most use out of the metal. All you need is a beveled edge to weld so i am not sure what the real complaints are there. Even with the scrap pipe, there is always something to weld to, most time you just have to grind off a tack weld. People complaining about this are just lazy, there is PLENTY to weld on. As for complaints about Welding Rods, This is true, but this is all derived from the students again. If the students would Use the full rod instead of just burning the first 6 inches and trying to get a new rod this wouldn't be an issue. this is not an exaggeration... they will burn one rod doing one pass on some bevel plate then toss that rod for a new rod to run another bead so they don't have to work on their tie-ins. There is always plenty of gas to use for mig/flux and Tig. You can also work on a few side projects if you have time/motivation. My final note with this school is, if you do the 1300 hour program, there is really not much for you to do. It's just all extra practice. You have access to the High Frequency machine for doing some aluminium welding but there is really a limited amount knowledge from the instructors regarding aluminium welding. I learned most of what i know from youtube and trial and error. Plenty of time there at the school to try things, but not instruction when it came to aluminium. It would be nice if there were more exotic metals to work with for the 1300 hour program but they do not offer that, just additional time doing what you are doing in the 900 hour program. Pros: No limit to the amount of hands on you can do. You will use scrap a lot. Plenty of gas mig/flux/tig Cons: limited material types to use. (Carbon steel plate and pipe, stainless pipe, aluminum plate are all thats offered. There are a couple others for purchase tho.) Limited knowledge when it comes to aluminium welding from the instructors. Had fun, would recommend, Just don't be lazy, you have to burn to learn.

I was ready to start but couldn't because of technical issues. We had some problems setting up my test. When I left the testing room to get help she was helping someone else. I was not happy with the delays. A place like this shouldn't be having technical issues, they are a COMPUTER LEARNING center after all. One thing I did enjoy was that they were able to accommodate my request for a private testing area. The testing room was quiet and peaceful, with many other testers nearby. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this place to a friend. They did not offer flexible payment methods. and the delays (partially due to the fact that they have outdated computer equipment) were a deal breaker for me. Check out Excel Solutions Team instead.

It's my first time taking a computer course with this company and I have to say that I actually…read moreenjoyed it. Great instructor and staff, everyone was so helpful during the process. I was impressed by the online instructor of the course. The instructor was actually online conducting the class with audio which I thought was interesting. Nevertheless it made no difference... It was still just as great as having the Instructor in person. Depending on the class you have various options to meet your needs. Plenty of breaks in between and a great feature to look forward to is having access to the course for an additional 6 months after completion and a certificate to add to your resume! Another interesting twist.. I would of never thought it would be in the same building as all of these high end interior design shops. So during your break it's always nice to skim through...

The way the teaching is going is questionable. Quite frankly, besides the certs they give at the end, you can look and learn everything you need from YouTube. With the exception of maybe 1 instructor, unprofessional, grown children reading from a screen/book making side jokes about things that shouldn't be discussed in class. I thought coming here I would feel welcomed and appreciated being that you are getting my money. However, they allow pretty much anyone in these classes. They say anything in these classes. They do what they want and expect everyone to learn at the same pace. And if you dont, oh well. Guess you're just too dumb to attend this school. I reached out to Financial Aid and Student services about 3 weeks into my classes about withdrawing and what the process is. I received no response, no email , no call. But every month they make sure to send me notifications about my payments. People with learning disabilities are not welcomed here as well. They joke around class and the instructors do absolutely nothing about it until it causes a major issue or act as if they didn't see or hear it. I wish I could just start over with a different experience who takes the HVACR business seriously and actually care about their students and hold them accountable.

I can honestly say this is probably one of the BEST HVAC schools in Texas. The amount of hands-on…read moretraining you get is unmatched, and that's what really makes the difference. The classes are small, so you're not just another face in the room-you actually get that one-on-one time with the instructor, which helped me so much. Derick is an excellent teacher. He's patient, takes his time, and really makes sure you understand everything before moving on. Mr. Mo would also come in from time to time and drop gems, showing us extra techniques and giving us real-world knowledge. When I say no one is leaving this school without knowing HVAC, I mean that. They make sure you're confident, skilled, and ready. I highly, highly, HIGHLY recommend this school to anyone serious about getting into HVAC!

I signed up for an EKG technician course during this pandemic to hopefully get my foot in the door…read moreat a better job. From the beginning I should've known that the school is not a reputable school. They are worried about taking your money right away before giving you a curriculum or even a tour of the school. The classroom I was personally in fits 3 people and the equipment used to taught the course was all non functional. The first day was a mandatory CPR course (which i get why you need in the medical field) but all it was was showing us a video that asked us to follow the video with a dummy that we did not have. When Dr. Raymond came back in the room he taught the most basic cpr instructions on a a gross looking dummy for about 10 minutes. The classrooms were full of old unusable equipment and photos of students from the early 2000's. I learned everything straight from the book/the internet on my own. Dr. Raymond's lectures are about 10 minutes long (if you're lucky) where he says nonsensical things or reads straight from the book. I asked him questions countless times and was left more confused than before as it was like he didn't know what he was talking about. He accidentally left me a voicemail talking trash about his students with the other teacher(his wife) and how students all think they know everything. At the end of my course I took my test in person and in writing(not electronically) and did not hear back anything about my results. I finally called and was answered by a rude receptionist saying she was sure she sent me the link to my certificate. Dr. Raymond did not offer me job placement even though I made sure to ask when I signed up if that's something they did. His wife assured me that they did. Instead I got a call from him offering to pay me $9 an hour to teach his EKG course for 2 hours a day, 2 days a week. (So a whopping $36 a week to teach others things I barely learned on my own) TLDR: do not go here if you want a real education. If you want to pay to go sit in a gross outdated classroom, read straight from a book everyday, and listen to the Doctor take personal phone calls while sitting in class with you trying to read about what he's about to "lecture" you on then this is the place! Also beware and ask about ALL THE FEES. As the test is not included, nor is CPR.

I am extremely unhappy with my experience at Fortis Institute. The staff and teachers are…read moreincredibly unprofessional and unhelpful. From day one, I felt abandoned and left to figure things out entirely on my own. The staff and teachers simply do not do their jobs, failing to provide any meaningful assistance or support to students. The expectation here is that you handle everything by yourself, which is incredibly frustrating and not conducive to learning. I've learned next to nothing during my time at Fortis Institute because the teachers do not engage or assist in any meaningful way. I cannot emphasize enough how disappointed I am with this school. I would never recommend Fortis Institute to anyone. Save your time and money and look for a better institution that actually cares about its students' education and success.

Old school" instructor setting students up for failure…read more Doesn't care about what's best for the students, only cares what makes her job easier. Very unfair and inconsiderate when it comes to students. She's been here for years so I assume my complaints won't be acknowledged, I'm sure I am not the first person to complain about her. Fortis need to do better and hire people who care about their students and aren't using their position unethically. She has made me very discouraged, and I am considering dropping out and finding another school. I haven't had any other problems with any other instructors other than her. My whole class complains amongst ourselves but no one wants to complain to the school. But I do not care, I took a loan out and I'm not getting the education I'm paying for. She doesn't follow the lesson plans that are in our modules, so we are unprepared for assignments. I think I'm going to have to drop out and go to another school because this woman is on a power trip.
