Pro or cons depending on your point of view: - School has a dress code but the teachers don't enforce it. Lots of students running around with headphones on and using their cell phones during class time. - Need to smoke? Just step outside and when you are done, just throw your butt on the ground, no worries. - When the students return from lunch, you can often get a contact high from all the pot smokers. In my opinion this is a great school, and if you have discipline you can learn a lot. You get what you put in for sure. With that said, it would also be easy to screw off and graduate with nothing but debt also. That's my two cents, take it for what it's worth.

Last year I took the "Tile, Grout, and Thinset" class with the DIY Academy. It was a fantastic…read moreexperience and it gave me the confidence to fix up one of the smaller bathrooms at my house. With my master bathroom repair-and-renovation looming, I wanted to expand my knowledge base more, and Rich and the DIY Academy were once again there to help. Instead of a class, I participated in the volunteering arm of the program and assisted in the demolition and subfloor preparation of an actual master bathroom. It was a whole day of cutting, grinding, smashing, and trashing, but it certainly affirmed the old maxim, "The best way to learn is to do." A lot of times it seems educators in any field see fit to show and tell, but not so here. Rich was always there to supervise and provide support, but it was apparent that he was dedicated to having the student learn by action and not by observation. His methods provided a great blend of experience-based learning and direct instruction. Being able to take part in each process necessary to strip a room down to its bones eliminated two obstacles that scare off most homeowners from attempting to do their own renovation work. First, it removed the mystery of a home's construction: every layer of material holding the old bathroom together could be seen and held. Second, it provided some level of expectation: now having seen how the various surfaces and materials are held together, I know my own bathroom's construction will not be terribly far off. This all works together to establish a sort of baseline muscle memory for the work to be done in the future. This was another great experience with DIY Academy and I hope more such opportunities arise in the future!

The founder assured me he understood that situation and would help me find work if I enrolled. That support never materialized. Once my final payment cleared, communication dropped off sharply and my questions went unanswered. Notably, founder stopped picking up my calls, saying he was too busy. The instruction itself was inconsistent. By my count, roughly a quarter of scheduled sessions did not happen because no instructor showed up. The final exam was scheduled for July 2026. As of September 2026 it still has not taken place, and I have been given no timeline or explanation. I'll be fair: the program is presented convincingly, and I believe there may have been genuine intent behind it at some point. But intent is not delivery. Students paid in full for instruction and a credential that were not provided. Anyone considering this program, veterans especially, should ask for a written schedule, a refund policy, and contact information for recent graduates before paying anything.
