As a graduate of the gunsmithing certificate program I will give an honest review, both good and…read morebad. A little background, I already had a gunsmith business and an FFL before starting this course. I had quite a bit of experience with firearms ahead of time and did this course just to broaden my horizons and gain more knowledge. I wouldn't recommend this course for someone just starting off in the industry and it is kind of a waste of money to get your foot in the door. A person would be better served getting an entry level job at a gun shop or manufacturer. It is very hard to learn how to gunsmith a firearm through texts and videos, and they tell young students how this will get them started.. but I just don't think that is true. $9,000 is a lot of money and can buy you a lot of tools and books to get started on your own. If you can find an attend a hands on class, I would recommend that instead. The Good: -The courses do provide a wealth of information if you read everything and save the books. It is a great overview of firearms, especially for someone who has little to no experience with them. -The courses are extremely easy and require little to no effort to pass (good or bad depending on who you are and your goals) -On-line flexibility with the classes and they are extremely forgiving with late work or unforeseen circumstances. -With the program you get to build a firearm, but if you are doing this course just to build a firearm... you are wasting about $8400. Just beware it is a very basic rifle with very basic parts. The Bad: -Extremely expensive for what it is. -With minimal hands on, there is absolutely no way you are going to learn much about actual gunsmithing. It is an extremely hands on process and you can really only learn by doing. Of course it is an on-line program, but still they should try to provide more hands on opportunities. -The text books are OK, but the videos are all on YouTube and not professionally done or anything. They could certainly do better with production for the amount of money that are charging students. -They provide a laptop that doesn't work very well and they just sent it to me and didn't offer me a choice to not get it. So I have a garbage laptop that I was forced to pay for and didn't need. -They provide you with a very basic tool set that you could piece together for about $200, which is a little weak considering you are paying almost $10,000 for this school. -The school kind of feels like they pray on military/veterans and their GI Bills. Overall it wasn't a bad experience, but I would be thoroughly disappointed if I had zero experience with firearms. I would have also been disappointed if I spent my money on this instead of using my GI Bill.

I've spent more money building…read morea leather strop for a class, which is something I could've bought for less that $30 online and I'll never use it. Now in my current classes I had to buy a dremmel for a project even though the school provides one in my next class where they are supposed to teach us how to use them on firearms. So essentially you're being forced to use tools and do work with little training, and you're graded, the. You will get trained and provided the materials after you've already ruined a firearm and failed at learning how to use the tools in the class. Every "lecture" is really just a bunch of bullet points and there is zero chance your teacher is actually teaching you, instead you'll get a email from them reiterating the projects they assign rather than actually teaching you what your doing. You're also going to be expected to do the work your learning to do on your own firearms, and you get one week for each project with no learning curve or practice if you've never done these things before. This school is a scam and waste of money. If you're going to do a gunsmith school I suggest somewhere else. Even the local gunsmiths in my area recommend AGI over this school, and better yet apprenticeship or other schools. You're better off finding a different school than Sonoran Desert Institute. They are nothing but a fraud stealing money from veteran and the VA.

I earned my AA back in 2008. Have decided to complete my BA with Penn State. Come to find out the 60 units I took thru Axis only 27 units are transferrable and only for elective courses, and I took those from a different Jr. College!!. Not one class can counts toward any sort of major. I thought I was earning a honest education, and it turns out it was a fraud. What a waste of time and money. There are WAY better ways to earn your degree, I wish I had known. My "advisor" with UOP told me which classes I needed to take, never once did they mention, that hey your spending $900 on a class that is worthless. if your looking for a good online education, check Penn State, University of Alabama or University Mass.

Online education can never be a success without the support of instructors, academic counselors,…read moreand financial counselor. Axia had good academic counselors who called you every week to find out how you are doing with your education. Someone was there to answer your call when you called them. Lately it is getting tough to get in touch with any live person at the numbers provided by Axia. After you leave a message they take at least two days to call you back. The instructors are not available readily either, you leave a voice message and end p getting a call from them when ur not at your desk, or busy doing something else. I believe they should have someone call the students regularly to find out how they are doing, if they are getting help from the instructors, and what could the school do to improve the learning process. I think they can introduce a weekly video conference class using skype so that students can listen to instructors instead of just going through the course syllabus.

On Thursday, Feb. 20, I called to make an appt for a cleaning. Shanna was the friendly person I…read morespoke with. She had no availabilities, so she added me to their wait list which already had 10 people on it. I had been here for a cleaning a few years earlier, with no wait, so I wasn't expecting a wait list. It would have been nice if I had been informed about that when I called a week or two prior with a few questions. But alas, this is the New America, where information no longer is forth coming without pulling teeth (no pun intended). A week and a half later, on a Monday, I called to find out what my status was. There were 3 people ahead of me. That means that in one week, they took 7 people off the list and I was at #4. It is now April 3rd and I've yet to receive any call from this school. I came into Phx special for getting my teeth cleaned. I'm leaving tomorrow because it's more than obvious that they have no interest in calling me. This time around the experience with this school has been 180 degrees different than the first time. The lack of communication, and the pitiful "explanation" given me when I called a week after the first status check just screams that management has changed. In addition, that friendly person I spoke with the first time couldn't have been Shanna as the person I spoke with the 2 subsequent times was seriously not friendly.
