Came here because I am interested in becoming an X-Ray Technician. I was interested in becoming a CRT at first, but there's a crazy wait of 5 yrs at the community colleges, so I can use this as a stepping stone and bypass that ridiculous wait with a year in the field as an X-Ray Tech after I graduate.... then head to a private RT school. Admissions guy was really friendly and answered all my questions and walked me through the entrance process and financial aid. Everyone was really friendly and personable and the classes I saw on the tour seemed engaged. Planning on a May start, they also cross-train X-Ray Techs as Medical Assistants, so win-win. read more

I came in for a tour, but it just didn't feel right. The whole experience felt forced. I know it sounds stupid, but some of the reasons I decided not to go with this school is because of how pushy the staff was. There were some details that turned me away, but it's too petty and ridiculous to post here at the moment. They had openings the very next month, but since classes only have 8-9 students, it's hard to believe that it wasn't full already. Although the classrooms looked cool, and I enjoyed the tour, there was this feeling like they were only after students' money and not their well-being. I guess I would have preferred speaking with one of the teachers, and not a counselor/advisor that doesn't quite have the expertise in the field. They have the limited X-ray license program for a year with morning/evening options. I forget the pricing, but I was told that many students choose this private schooling because of the community college waiting lists. Also, the presentation was extremely short and felt like it was cut short. Regardless, I would personally rather go through public education somewhere like Cypress, Mt. SAC, El Camino, LACC, etc. read more

Horrible customer service all employees are very rude, impatient & unprofessional. Went in for a school tour & they seemed nice then took it further in to entrance exam & financial aid meeting , they got very mean. read more

The warm and inviting atmosphere of this school is truly wonderful! As a new student, I can already see that the teachers and staff are really supportive and want us to do well. I am thankful for their help! A big shout-out to Karen for making the admission process incredibly easy! read more

Guess you aren't understanding my review! It is based off of the horrible customer service I encountered at this place with your "admissions representative!" She needs more training on customer service! read more

Everyone is really friendly and is there to help you succeed! School is very informative and really lets you practice as many times as you need to get down the information! read more

To be honest, i didn't enroll there, but the whole experience wasn't that great. Old equipment, not knowledgeable staff, small classes, etc. i would say that if you want to spend 20k+ to 45k , try other places before you choose this one. read more

I want to say that this school still supporting me after 6 years of graduation. The Job placement coordinator referred me to an employer who hired me as a X Ray lead in his new medical facility. The staff support the students from the first moment, till the end of the student's carriers. Great appreciation and thanks to, Susan Shannon, Adam Cooper, and Jessica Revilla. read more

I am not going to lie... I was scared to go back to school for so many reasons. So much was against me and I kept asking for a sign to stay and keep going. All I have to say is Ms. Parker was def that individual who continously kept reminding me why this is all worth it. If it was not for her, always keeping her door open, taking time and sitting with me to check up on us in the class. I'd definitely would of left after the 1st week. I don't know what is it about Ms. Parker, but she genuinely does want the best for her students and she makes sure we have no excuse not to. Definitely a positive energy that at times we need to give us that push to keep going. Thank you, Ms. Parker!!! read more

I highly recommend this school. I attended Modern Technology School from May 2020 to April 2021 in the Xray/Ma program. The program is well structured and well run. Mr. Cost is a great Xray teacher, and he helped the students in every way in his power. Mrs. Fazzone is a very good MA teacher. Mr. Cost, and all the staff personally helped me when I had questions or needed help, EVERY STEP OF THE WAY! The program is legit, and it prepared me to score high on my state xray license test. read more

I am a current student at this school, and I have a month left of the ultrasound program, and love this program! So happy I picked this school. Everyone here (staff) really wants to help u learn and find a job when you are done. I was also lucky enough to have started this program with an amazing group! Extremely helpful when u have classmates who care and are serious about making ultrasound their career. Lani is an amazing program director who's always there for you whenever you need extra help. Danielle has great notes for lectures and is very thorough. Mary is a physics master and is always willing to go the extra mile to teach you, only if you are willing to go that extra mile with her! Michael is very passionate at what he does here, great teacher and lab instructor. read more

Modern Technology School,Thank You For Helping Me Reaching My Goal.Ms PARKER Thank You So Much for Being My Guardian Angel.I Recommend This School To Anyone who wants to excel in Medical Field Simply The Best There Is, the Best There Was, the Best There Ever Will Be.God Bless Your School Always read more

I'm currently a student at Modern Technology and I have already completed the MA portion. Currently I am half way through the X-ray program. I'm so happy I made the decision to attend this school. However it is imperative to note that my x-ray teacher (Alina), is the best teacher I have ever had in my life. I used to attend OCC and I have not had a better teacher than Alina. My MA teachers were good as well but Alina is the best she will go out of her way to make sure you understand what all the Labs, lectures, and anatomy. I have been blessed by the medical gods with the opportunity to be a student at Modern Technology school they do a really good job at working you into things that you're not comfortable with to make it second nature. If you are on the fence about making the move to do MA/X-ray program just do it you won't be disappointed. read more

Modern Technology School - #xrayweek - Vocational & Technical School Near Me - Fountain Valley, California

I see based on some of these reviews this school is still a joke like it was almost 20 years ago. This is by far the worst school ever!!!. I can't believe they are still in business pretending to be an actual school. I went here in 2004-2006 when they were still located in Anaheim. I was taking the ultrasound program. I signed up and they told me the were fully accredited (big lie). 6 months in attending class, my son had to have surgery. I asked if I could have a couple days off to tend to my son and was told to take the rest of the quarter off and restart where I left off with the next class that was behind us. I went ahead and did that and everything seemed fine. I started my internship at a clinic in Irvine that only saw 2-3 patients a week. I went back to the school and told them I wasn't getting much experience at this clinic because of lack of patients. They then switched me to do my internship at Montebello Hospital and some hole in the wall OBGYN clinic in Chino. I lived in Irvine and had to spend a lot of time and gas to get there but, I stuck with it thinking it would all be worth it in the end. A week before graduation they came to our class and told us that they had lost their accredidation and had been trying to get it back for the last couple of years. They said they thought they would be accredited again by the time we were supposed to graduate but they were not. They said we could not take the state exam any longer to get certified. Everyone was completely shocked and upset. Then a couple days before graduation they pulled me in the office and told me I could not graduate and take my final exam because the year prior I had taken the time off for my son's surgery. I explained to them that this is what they wanted me to do and they said they could not help me. They expelled me along with 3/4 of the class once everyone started to complain because we had spent over 30k on a school that lied to all of us from the very beginning and they had already collected the last payment from everyone. We were all left with a 30k debt on our credit because of the student loans without any certificate to show for it. It was all a big, very expensive waste of time. Even the few that were able to graduate were not able to do anything with it because they could not take the exam and get their certificate. They were told to try and find a job on their own at a clinic or hospital that would take them in for a year without being certified. Of course no hospital would be willing to do this. In short if you are looking to go to school to become and ultrasound tech, DO NOT by any means choose this school. With the amount of money they charge for their ultrasound course lie, you can definitely get an actual education elsewhere. read more

Overall the program would be amazing if they had the right staff. Beware that the medical assistance program and program director (Ms. Parker) is a joke. She set up 2 meeting with me and never showed up or called, she lags on ordering supplies, so when you come to injection you may have to wait up to 3 weeks as Ms. Parker shows a level of serious incompetence in completing tasks or really any and all aspects of her job. She had me take the NCCT exam in December and when it came to sending in the paperwork for your NCMA just plan on sending your diploma yourself as Ms. Parker will make you wait several weeks to be able to get a job! She will tell you to be professional and prompt but lacks those qualities herself. And her talks on how she made a million and is making a movie about cryptocurrency is kind of sad and pathetic. If your looking to become a medical assistant my only advice would be to RUN!! Now on to everyone else.....amazing! Adam in clinical placement is awesome, Ms. Lee the medical assistant day instructor is amazing! Sue Shannon the director of the X-ray program is nothing less than stellar, Mr. Ed and Ms. Alaina are excellent and the best instructors in their field. Take my review for what it is and if you decide to go to this school just be very careful with Ms. Parker as she is very strict and also very unprofessional and not consistent. I had a few friend go for the medical assistant only program and she is so flaky that you will be studying on your own as she doesn't provide much direction and won't give a class schedule start time. She may show up she ma Update on review If you get the chance to attend the MA/X-ray program....take it! Like I said in my review all the X-ray instructors and program director are amazing and super accommodating. Don't let my review put you off from this school, it is a real diamond in the rough! After meeting with the school I found out the situation with the supplies being on back order and out of the schools control. Since graduating from the school I've already obtained a job and because of the training I've received I'm more confident with all my daily tasks as an MA. Can't wait to use all my X-ray training and knowledge I've received at this awesome school. read more

I am currently attending Modern Technology School and it is the best decision I ever made. I am so grateful for my teachers. My current X-Ray teacher Alina is amazing and is really thorough and works closely with us so no one gets left behind. I will definitely recommend Modern Technology School to anyone interested in the medical field and will always speak highly of this school. read more

Went to this school years ago. For ultrasound tech. They lied to me telling me they are an accredited school , making me believe that I could get certified after . Then the last day of school after 18 months they tell us they are only accredited with limits so we will have to find a job full time for a year before being able to get certified . Problem was you can't really get hired without being certified . Also they place you in an internship and they placed me with a sleezy clinic in Lynwood . And the office manager sexually harassed me constantly . I came to the school and told them what was happening and they asked me " what are you doing to provoke that, and also told me that he's from another country so he just doesn't know better " basically blaming me the victim and not helping me at all. I suffered mental stress from the experience , and at the same time had already invested 30k in loans and didn't know what to do. So once I graduated from this horrid school , I spent a year trying to find a job . And make it work since I already invested all the time and money into it. Once I realized I should probably sue them I went to see a lawyer that told me it was one year later and over statue of limitations !! Then I received call that this school was having a mass lawsuit and if I wanted to be a part of it and I said yes but never got another call in regards to it . So now years later and 35k in debt with no ultrasound career. I basically paid over thirty thousand dollars and spent 18 months to be sexually harassed and misled and mistreated . So I suggest passing this school right by . And they should be closed down read more

I graduated back in 2016 in the MA/x ray program and landed a job right after I graduated. I did MA/ x ray at a couple urgent cares for about 4 years then I became a full license radiologic technologist @ OCC class of 2019! Which I highly recommend! Anyway I worked as a full tech for 2 years and recently transition to interventional radiology! I always looked back at where I started and the experience and knowledge I gained here has helped me throughout and I'm very thankful for that. The whole point here is the tuition. I feel like overall it's not worth it to put yourself in debt. If I can go back I would tell myself not to come here just because of that and just go straight to a community college but I get it! No one have time to take GE classes or family etc but I'm just speaking my opinion. I wish I could've bypass this school and jumped straight to a community college. I would've saved so much money and time. read more

Great school, great teachers, great experience. If you put the time in and give it everything you have, you will become either an ultrasound technician or MA/ X-ray tech. Having been a student of this school, I had doubts as to weather or not this would be a good fit considering it's not a CAAHEP accredited program. Ultimately, if you work hard and put in the time, you will find a job and you will be successful. This is a great route to go and ultimately your future relies on you as long as you are willing to make it happen for yourself. read more

since i've arrived at modern tech Miss parker and mr reyes have helped guide me through class flawlessly. Miss parker is one of the most hands on counselors out there, always positive always smiling and always ready to help. That attitude extends to her teachers who also are just as hands on and helpful. so far 10/10 read more

Since I have started my MA/X-Ray class in August of 2021, I've had nothing but amazing things to say about this school and the faculty. My teacher Mr. Reyes is by far a great teacher and Mrs. Parker since day one has always been so positive and helpful. She is always pushing us to do great things. I feel very comfortable when going to talk to her about anything because she is very helpful and willing to go far and beyond for us students. I highly recommend this school for anyone trying to get into the medical field! Thank you to Mr. Reyes and Mrs. Parker for being amazing teachers!!! read more

I'm not even fully enrolled with the school yet and they have been more then great. They are very honest with what the pay in the field your going for is, explained the entire course including the state exams that follow completion. Dirk in admissions is the guy to go to! Jessica and Adam have been amazing as well. I highly recommend the school. read more

I am so glad I found this school. Alina is truly amazing and so organized. She always takes the time to make sure you understand the material and if you need additional help, she also offers tutoring. Thanks Alina, you are the best!!! read more

Miss Parker Amazing energy, definitely one of a kind. Great work keep it up. Life's too short for negativity.

I want to that Mrs. Parker. She is very dedicated and takes her time to help us do our best and wants to see every student do great in the future. Entering school during the pandemic wasn't an easy choice knowing the obstacles that may come with it, sure enough but it was a great learning experience before going into the real world. The medical field is always unexpected/and always changing (COVID). Being director she shouldn't have to teach the class, but Mrs. Parker would stay to teach our evening class not because she had too but wanting to put knowledge in our heads and also know what we have learned so far. Lol. I have to say I love her stories (her experiences), I should say. They are real life stories that one day we may encounter in the real world besides that fact it also has to do with the lesson that is going on that day, but putting real life scenarios is great because it's not a fake story or from a movie. She also gives great advice, and is a great motivational speaker and I'm glad to say that I can always count on her. Thank you again. I mean really thank you. Some people don't have the support they wish they've had and Mrs. Parker fills that space with encouragement and positivity.! read more

I am currently a student at Modern technology school , I completed my medical assistant training and passed my ncct exam and am about to go for externship to a clinic, I feel alot of gratitude for having competent , helpful teachers like Ms. Parker, Mrs. Lee and always smiling Ms. Sue. I would recommend this school as the faculty are very knowledgeable both theoretically and practically read more

When I started my ultrasound program here I honestly thought this was the most sketchiest schools ever and first 6 months I was doubting myself if I was making the right decision coming here. Then I thought since I've already invested that much time in the program I might as well see it to the end. I did my best to participate and study so I could get on of the best clinical sites and that I DID!! The staff in this school are so personable that they know where to best place you by knowing your personality and ultrasound skills. Eventually Modern Technology became my second home and the staff became my family. I graduated with honors then took and passed my SPI right after. I moved right after graduation to ND not knowing I'd find a job since the ONE hospital where I moved to required boards and wanted graduates from a CAAHEP school but I applied anyway. They interviewed me and got hired full time as long I obtain my boards within 2 years. They got me where I am now. I have NO REGRETS coming to this school. read more

The teachers here are great, it was so easy to get in and get directly into learning the skills I needed to get a job ! I am currently employed and I owe everything I have to Modern Technology School. A lot of my friends are still in college or struggling because they still are trying to get a foot in the door but I got hired the week BEFORE I graduated the X-Ray tech program and I'm finally making good money! This school is the way to go, just show up and they will give you all the keys you need to succeed. read more

I've honestly learned so much going too this school the teachers have a lot of experience.You're making a good and smart decision coming too this school they have the best MA and X-ray program! read more

Going to Modern Tech was the best choice I've ever made. The staff was great. Mrs. Parker was very encouraging and was always available when I needed to talk. Not sure if I would have been as successful without her guidance. I was able to find a great job right out of school as an MA/X-RAY tech. I love this school. They have all the resources you need to succeed! read more

mod 2 is coming to an end and I couldn't have had a better instructor than Ms. Lara. She is always devoted to teaching her students and always has a way to make sure we understood the lectures. Her heart definitely belongs in a classroom. She has a passion for teaching and it's clearly visible to her students . In Mod 2 we've learned so many different skills with her. When it comes to Lab she makes sure we are comfortable doing what we are doing but also making sure we are doing our assigned job correctly. Her lectures were really good, she draws out the system we are learning and explains it step by step. As a visual learner it helped so much. It's so sad Mod 2 is coming to an end. Going to miss her! I'm happy for her new students because they are in good hands read more

Most definitely a life changing experience modern tech has offered so much from the beginning from the friendly office staff to the teacher with their wide range of knowledge. I took the X-ray/MA course and I had the opportunity to work with Ms.Alina Kane and Mr. Ed Fernandez both very knowledgeable and attentive in the field of X-ray. I would highly recommend this course for anyone trying pursue a career in medical but you have to be focused and ready to work. Thank you modern tech! read more

Alina is the best teacher. She explains things thoroughly and in a way that you can understand. I am a visual learner and she always took the time to explain things to me in a way I could remember. She also is a wonderful tutor and it's so helpful she will meet you outside of class to help answer your questions. read more

School was tough and trying to find a job afterwards was a nightmare. Jessica Morales the job placement coordinator helped me out so much!!!! Took time out of her day to sit and help me fix my resume and ended up helping me get a job. It wasn't ideal but for my first job to be able to add that to my resume helped me out so much she's so patient and nice! Made my life so much easier read more

It's excellent service and support program on Phlebotomy at this school. They are very active in supporting students in process of getting licenses. On the other hands, the management keeps providing students extra hands-on training which is invaluable to me. Teachers are devoted. Many thanks Thanh G. Phlebotomist read more

I started my Ultrasound program in 2012. Couldn't be more happy with my choice in picking this great vocational school! You'll have a full understanding of the material, and feel confident after graduating. Classes are small giving you more one on one time with your instructors( only 4 girls in my class). Classes are small due to the number of ultrasound machines in the lab, and clinical rotations. Anther plus is they find your clinical site for you! ( I was placed at Fountain Valley Regional Hospital) They ARE NOT CAAHEP certified ONLY ACCSC, which mean you can only sit for your SPI ARDMS exam, and aren't allowed to take your Specialty ARDMS. Unless you work a full time job for a year, then you'll follow under a different clause that will allow you to take your ARDMS speciality. My class just graduated our 2 year program on Feb. 2014, and 3 out of 4 of my colleagues have jobs without out our registry. (We will need to sit for our exams to further our careers, but for the time being the majority of us all got jobs within 6 months!) If you want a job YOU MUST be proactive! Jobs just won't come to you so be prepared to work hard for that first job! The cost of the school is a little spendy, but worth it to bypass other long wait list schools! There's financial aid, and they can also setup school loans if needed! This school is well known in the ultrasound community, and I would recommend this school to anyone! I had such an amazing experience here, and learned so much! Hope this review helps you to make a clearer decision! Best of luck! read more

So far I've been attending Modern Technology School for 3 weeks. I have to say that so far this is the absolute best decision I've made! The staff is extremely welcoming and knowledgeable with lots of experience! I look forward to going to class every day with the best teacher anyone can ask for Ms. Parker! read more

Ty T. (2) Google me really?? That is stalker status. All I know is it did not take me six months to pass my test, but I guess you get what you put into it. I found them to be very helpful especially the review classes they offer once I graduated. Obviously we had a different experince and we'll just leave it at that. Sorry you're so bitter. (1) Ty T. I think you might have commented on the wrong school. Modern Technology's MA/X-Ray program is only 11 months and I paid less than $17,000. So if you defaulted on your school loan that's a whole different story. I am working as a limited tech and once I obtained my license I was able to find a job with their assistance. They helped me with my resume and gave me interview pointers. I am still working as an XT now and love my job! read more

WORST SCHOOL EVER!!!!! Beware, unless you like money being taken from you & transcripts not being released to you. NEVER have I ever heard of a school not giving you your transcripts for over 2 weeks. Not to mention this school takes 30,000 from you & they don't offer tutoring? How the hell can you possibly ask for so much money over the course of a year & a half & not help your students when they need help? Oh that's right, because the teachers aren't allowed to get over time so the students here get screwed. Stay clear away from this school. All they do is scam you. I need my transcripts to enroll in nursing school & they will not give them to me. FUCK THIS SCHOOL! read more

So the staff an teachers really help you here. Ms.parker I think everyone would agree is a great councilor to a lot of people I'm not even sure if that's her job but she gives a lot of good guidance. They really help you through the ma course . I took X-ray and I've had both Tommy and Alina. I personally like Alina's teaching but either way I suggest u do tutoring. It's a great help and do all your book work and don't just skim through stuff try not to get distracted it's only 11 months out of you entire life it's worth giving your all. It takes about a month after you graduate to get your Letter to take your state and then you take it at the soonest 2 weeks out and it then take a couple weeks to get your results and then if you have any retakes u schedule and then get you results and so on. This process after you graduate can be about a month or two to really how ever long You want to lag or I you ver want to get done. The school really helps you get a job Jessica is great and so is Adam. Everyone is very willing to work with you with any obstacle you may face. I recommend this school definitely. read more
