    I was an apprentice for 4 years with Disney, and these clowns fired me over an evaluation that…read morefalsely written by one of their own management team. They're board of directors are all Disney Managers. Every meeting you show up for as an apprentice, your sat and humiliated. The worst part about it is that as an apprenticeship you get no REAL HANDS ON EXPERIENCE!!!!! RICK CARMEAN is the head honcho and he is a rude uneducated A*****E! Don't waste your time with going to the school for the apprenticeship , you're made to do only book work for four years of your life, you waste 4 and a half hours every week going to mid Florida tech, which is a good school, but they way the curriculum is structured by the Central Florida Mechanical Apprenticeship Committee and the way it is set is that you spend 4 years learning about heavy duty truck and bus components is by showing up to class and dicking around with a text book for four hours. you are not allowed to touch a wrench at school, and you're made to work nights with odd ball days and hours off. most of the work done at night is done with a flash light, so what do your really learn after four years of wasting time here.... how to waste time for four years and do nothing with life. i am sooo surprise more people haven't been killed riding the rides at" a certain theme park" that the mechanics whom have all graduated from this program work at! In conclusion, I would like to say.... Don't waste a single breath, thought, or feeling on this institution or its relative big brother MOUSE theme park corporate conglomerate partner!!!!

    This is a nightmare of a school. It is the cheapest option and accelerated, but DO NOT ATTEND. I…read morecannot speak on the quality of the other programs, but if you were considering OTC for surgical technology...run far away! 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.

    Yes, the cost is cheap but DAMN is the professionalism lacking! The admissions office NEVER answers…read morethe phone! There is absolutely no sense of urgency at alI when they have to complete something on their end. The website is super sketchy. I graduated there in 2019 and I have lost out on 2 jobs because they couldn't get a hold of these people to verify my course completion. Even taking into consideration the lowest of the low price, this school follow through and customer service is a freakin' joke. I can't speak on curriculum for every course obviously but for the nursing course the quality of the instruction you get is questionable honestly.

    School material is ok. You can absolutely learn a lot here if you apply yourself. That does not…read morechange the fact that the school holds the students hostage and makes constant contradictory statements regarding their mission. The school states they are trying to mimic the industry however do nothing to curb blatant cheating and dishonest behavior from students, fail to remove students that are obviously under the influence of drugs, and require you to stay in the class for hours even though course work is completed. Instructors are solid but are forced to implement highly restrictive policy to enable students that have no business being in a shop to pass classes. Making honest remarks on course surveys will negatively impact instructors to the point they will give the class the final exam answers to get all 5-star reviews.

Yet has completely dropped the ball on multiple occasions. After receiving all of my information , being a dependent myself whose beneficiary was considered KIA/Disabled after august first twenty twenty three they repeatedly tried to tell me due to my age i am ineligible to receive chapter thirty five benefits. However , if your beneficiary is considered disabled or killed in action after august first twenty twenty three , there is no age out for the benefits. Meaning in theory you can still use it when you're sixty years old. The housing by far is one of the worst things things I have ever experienced in a scholastic environment. Collegiate Housing first and foremost prioritizes profit rather than the student's well being. They are charging $900 a person for a dorm shared with 4 people, you dont even have a private bedroom. Ontop of the many hidden fees and stipulations that they do not tell you about nor do they reach out with you with a representative. Emails tend to be sparse lacking in need to know information. At the time of writing this this would be my first time in florida as well as the orlando area as well as my first time attending this campus. I was very exited to travel and learn a trade ive always been interested in however. My optimism was quickly crushed by the lack of experience UTIs VA assistance department. So much so that if you told me none of their personnel were veterans I would believe you. Even if I were to be accepted and have the opportunity to train and learn about a trade I am very much interested in i would never recommend this institute two friends, family or even acquaintances due to how needlessly stressful, they make the application process for veterans/dependent benefits.

    This is a very fine example of what Public Education can and should be…read more I am part of Leadership Orange, which brings together adults from different work experience and skill sets, to be immersed in Orange County Pubic Schools, and learn as well as contribute ideas for future success. Our first meeting was at West Orange High School. My adult children visited West Orange MANY times as Dr Phillips High School was considered their rival during football season. Now, granted, my kids graduated 10+ years ago, I was speechless to see how far OCPS has come with education, especially at West Orange. The campus is beautifully laid out and has a large outdoor open area for students to meet up and talk during free time. What really blew me away was that many, if not MOST classes are totally digital/electronic. Each student has laptop and the curriculum is fully loaded on the laptops. Teachers use an interactive power-point type program in front of the class and can manage what students are doing, and gauge the lesson plan instantly based on student results. Another great thing about the 'electronic classroom' is that parents can also monitor their student's growth academically. Since this is the 'digital generation' I honestly believe using computers to teach with helps students take a greater interest in learning, and motivates the students to learn and hopefully grow further with a solid education. Of course, there are subjects that just cannot be taught fully on a computer; arts, music, sports but I have a feeling the computers are still used in those classrooms, too [only saw marine biology first hand]. The students at West Orange also seem to have great respect for their teachers and the entire education team. Keep doing what you are doing West Orange High! You are most definitely building our future leaders! I am in AWE!
