READ THIS BEFORE YOU APPLY TO THE LPN PROGRAM…read more I am making this post because I don't want anyone else having to go into this Without knowing exactly what this program and school are like. 1. If you are expecting to pay for someone to actually teach you, this is not the place for you. The teachers here literally do not want to teach, probably because they have no idea how to. Only one of the actually cared, and when she lectured, we actually learned and had class discussions about the topics at hand. The rest would either A) split up part of a chapter and have the class make posters all day and then present to the class, B)split up a chapter (med surg chapters, so think disorders, nursing interventions, and meds, pretty important stuff that I don't believe students who have no prior knowledge or experience should be teaching other students in the same class, isn't that why the instructors are there for?) C) get the senior class to teach it to the class behind them. There were unfortunately very few times that we got a lecture. 2. The head teacher is a bully, and she likes to play favorites. Lord help you if you get on her bad side. Singles out students, makes fun of them, talks about them to OTHER STUDENTS behind their backs. Certain rules apply to certain students but not others because she likes them. If you end up enrolling, do not trust her. She likes to power trip. A lot. If she doesn't get her way, she will play dirty till she does, and all the other teachers, including people above her seem scared of her for some reason. 3. Grades are messed with. Again, if you do or say anything that upsets a certain someone, grades mysteriously suffer. Doesn't help that you cannot see your test grades unless you fail it. So you never really ever know what you got wrong. And this isn't just coming from student experience. People in the office warned us about her and the grades. 4. They are just as bad at teaching skills as they are lecturing. Complete disorganization. No demonstrations. We were told to read the book and figure it out. If we asked them a question, they would yell at us to look in the book. It was all in the book. The book was our teacher. Are you doing it wrong? Who knows? We can't ask the book questions, can we? Some students asked if they could please demonstrate for the class first and then have us practice, they would say no. "That's not the way it works in the real world" or "no one is going to show you how to do this in the hospital, if you don't know, you have to go and figure it out". Yeeeaaa... pretty sure patients and their families don't want you to "figure it out" at the hospital, but ok. 5. Speaking of skills, let's talk about clinicals. So, you learned all these skills in class, and clinical is the time to get your hands dirty and reinforce the skills you learned, right? Nope! Can't give shots, can't pass med, can't take vitals, can't do anything, except practice CNA skills. We saw other nursing students from other schools get assigned to a nurse and do everything with the RN, but not us. We were not allowed to. 6. The school administration is a joke. They knew about the bullying, they knew about the retaliation, they knew absolutely everything that was going on upstairs, but they didn't care. Kept telling us that they were working on fixing the situation, nothing ever happened. They don't care. I have never in my life seen more incompetent people working in a school than this one. 7. Although the school promotes itself as a "college", expect to be treated like a middle schooler. While I do understand that there are dual enrollment students at the school (high schoolers), that is no reason to treat grown adult student like children. You will be talked down to. A LOT. Literally no respect whatsoever. Sometimes you even forget that you are an adult in this place. Valencia and Seminole also have dual enrollment, and everyone is treated in a professional manner, regardless of your age, so that is no excuse. 8. Disorganization rules this school. In the class, downstairs, everywhere. Tests are announced last minute, or you are given literally days to read and learn a whole med surg chapter (50-90+ pages each). 9. Let's talk pharmacology. Very important in nursing. We never ever ever EVER had a single pharmacology lecture. AT ALL! Never! All we got were packets. That's it. So that pharm class on your class schedule, forget about it. Doesn't exist. The meds we did learn, we learned in the med surg chapters. That was the extent of our exposure to pharm. I wanted to write this so other people know exactly what they are getting into, because I wish I had known, so I could have made an informed decision ( run for the hills!). There was so very little information available, and had I known about the toxic environment that I would be getting myself into, I would have never ever gone to this "college".

I have had nothing but amazing experiences with everyone involved in the school and I am so grateful to have instructors and staff assistance with assignments, questions and concerns :) I cannot believe I'm almost finished and off to externship! You will not regret it if you choose Concorde! Thank you goes to Mr. Mowrey and Mrs. Wright for always believing in all of us students, whether past, present and future. You guys are the best instructors I have ever had!

Under-qualified instructors in the dental hygiene program. Students will spend their time buried…read moreunder so many assignments it's impossible to breathe and actually grasp the information. Outside sources for board study is a must such as student RDH. Certain staff members are within the program directors favor and infamous for lacking knowledge, consistency, respect, and compassion. Our cohort, #6 were repeatedly told by staff members how disliked we were and called emotional when we voiced concerns related to our preparedness for exams and level of respect we received from instructors. Pinning ceremony was ghetto and insulting for location and decor. We were initially told we had to decorate for the ceremony ourselves. Nice for 70k right? Enroll in this program if you want to hate becoming a dental hygienist by the time you're done. This place is soul crushing and where the dream goes to die.

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.

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.
