I am currently a senior at west coast ultrasound institute, getting ready to go off to externship…read morewith an awesome site placement at a hospital. I would personally say that if you put in the work, then what you get out of this school is worth it. We get ample scanning time in the lab which I personally believe is the most important part of this entire program. You can be extremely book smart, and not be good at scanning. It takes practice, practice, practice. I work in a hospital setting as a CNA and most of our Sonographers went to west coast ultrasound institute, and they are amazing sonographers with registries. Our school has changed quite a bit since some of these reviews. It is actually frustrating to me reading some of these. Our program now offers and AAS degree, with 6 months of extern instead of 3 which is a huge change for the better. We are now able to sit for the ARRT sonography exam right when we graduate, which allows us to then sit for ARDMS or for CCI. There is no more working full time for a year before sitting for the registries.That was the main issue with this school just a year ago. We offer great extern sites, but our extern coordinator is picky about site placement. If you are lazy, get bad grades, are absent or tardy often, you probably will not get placed in a site that is expecting a good student that is ready and willing to learn. You are still going to get a site, but it may not be the site you want. Unfortunately this is a for profit school, not run by the government and with that there will be hiccups and things are not perfect. Which is why I did not give a full 5 stars. However overall, if you are a good student, study the material, read the books, and scan as much as possible this program is worth not waiting 10 years to get a spot in gateway. Bottom line I would absolutely recommend this school, if you are willing to work hard, study harder, and put in your absolute best. If you are looking for an easy ride to make good money then I wouldn't recommend a career in sonography. This is a tough career path not for the lazy or weak minded.

I then had lost my step mom and failed vascular lecture 2x. My mistake . I was dropped from the school , and was told i had to pay back my financial aid then can reapply for reentry . Well i was able to pay over $1,000 back and reapplied and wrote a letter i then got a call it was discussed at the monthly meeting and they decided to not let me back in . This place doesn't care about people trying to better their future they care about money only . I've been trying to appeal the decision for a year with no response from the school . Apply at the risk of them acting like they care and support you when they really don't .

One of the instructors acts very vulgar and treats students like complete crap, using profanity, and vulgar language. Some of the students are not even comfortable asking him questions to understand the material of what we learned without him getting mad. He gets angry if a student does not understand something, But it gets worse! To only think that this instructor is bad, the next one we had didn't give a crap about teaching the class, we went over the same refrigeration process for a whole month without going over brazing and soldering, I mean what HVAC school skips Brazing and soldering! He also was always gone and never at class. And when he was at class he decided to have us leave early for the day instead of going over the exact things we have on the curriculum for the phase. This institution is a complete joke, and completely pathetic. And I am reporting this school to the VA. My advice, if you want to learn a trade like HVAC or Electrical, go to a community college out here, yeah it may take a little longer to graduate but at least you are getting the education and resources you need to be successful and actually feel confident in your craft to score a job. Or join the union and get paid to learn the trade, because one thing I do know is this, they won't tolerate lazy instructors and they won't tolerate instructors that use profanity and scare students at the union or community college!

I was close enough to clearly see and hear the administrator repeatedly call the student names aswell as getting in their personal space while being asked by the student to leave him alone. The tour was going fine until I saw first hand how the administrators talk and treat their students. With that I will be looking elsewhere for an education.

The first two days of class, we had a bucket of juices offered in the back of the class room. I wondered why there was no water included and why the bucket disappeared after day two. There were always bagels and fruit offered in reception but I was never offered any and didn't know if they were available to us. The receptionist brought in cookies, every day at 2pm. The instructor eventually told us that we could get water and soda out of the cooler in the hallway. That was a saving grace since we were stuck in this dark room for intense training all day long. Location is good and they have plenty of parking. I attended in the peak of summer heat in Arizona and was cool and comfy all day.
