When we would get a question "wrong" on a test & show him why we answered the way we did from OUR textbooks (and even google!) he would tell us it didn't matter bc that's not what he had in HIS books. This happened every week. He would teach us incorrect information. When it came time to take a test, we were confused. It effected all of our grades. -No scantrons. The teacher grades tests by hand with no consistency. If I answered A & Sarah answered A but only ONE of us got it wrong... we weren't allowed to question it. -The programs are accelerated which means you are responsible for MOST of your own education. We got reviews before each test which helped us pass AIMS tests, but it gets you nowhere with national exams as there's SO MUCH you don't learn during your time at AIMS. Read the chapters. Do what no one's instructing you to do so you know everything. -Keep track of EVERYTHING yourself. This school frequently loses grades, so take a picture of every grade handed back to you. -AIMS accused my entire class of lying about our phlebotomy sticks. They threatened us with having to do the whole module over again. It was a money grab to get us to retake that portion of the program. The girl in my class that got the brunt of the accusations had more volunteers than any of us. I think they focused on her bc she was young & didn't know how to really stand up for herself yet. I've done this before. I went in to see the awful office lady Madhu & said none of us were retaking a single stick without them having solid proof that we lied. There are cameras all over the school. It should be easy for them to prove it, right? The burden of proof lies with them. Not us. Half of us were already nationally certified. We never heard about this again. -If you're on financial aid or a payment plan, keep track of how much you owe. Keep track of your payments. DO NOT LOSE YOUR INITIAL CONTRACT THAT YOU SIGNED. Towards the end of your program they WILL come after you for more money. They will threaten you with not advancing to your internship or being able to take the national exams without paying more. $100 here. $200 there. They even came after one girl for like.. $11. When asked to prove it, THEY CANT. They have no paperwork to show any kind of deficit. When classmates started showing up with their own paperwork, silence. -We signed up & paid for a hybrid course, meaning online and in school. We were in school 90% of our time there. Most days we were the only class there. Our teacher informed us he doesn't like online so that's why we were in the building most of the time. If I'm paying you for a service, I expect to receive that service. I don't care about personal preferences. Some of us signed up for a hybrid course to help with childcare or because it would make our commute to work easier after class. The hybrid course is a lie. You get maybe 2-3 classes at home per month. -When we did have an online class, the next "in school" class was a waste of time. All we did was REDO everything we spent 5 hours doing online. -Class NEVER started on time but ALWAYS ended on time. Which means if you finish a mod early, you still had to sit in class doing NOTHING for hours... even days sometimes. The teacher wouldn't move on or teach anything new. You weren't permitted to leave a minute before 2pm. Some mods were much longer than they needed to be & it was tedious. -Some mods weren't long enough to learn all the material. You were racing through chapters & not learning, but were expected to know it for exams. The whole program needs a refresh with how much time is spent on each subject because students are either panicking & racing through important topics or spending days not learning anything at all. -During enrollment, they tell you that you get to pick your top 3 internship spots off their list & they will do their best to make sure you get into a place where you see a future for yourself. In a specialty you want to excel in. That is also a lie. You get 0 choice. I got lucky & love where I got placed, but many other girls were not as lucky. Many of the places on their approved internship list are the most dysfunctional, understaffed environments that use interns as free labor with no intent to hire you at all. Some of the girls in my class were working ALONE as a brand new, not yet certified MA during their 2nd week there. They were given zero support. There are other things that went wrong during my time there and we tried voicing our concerns, but we got ignored. If they respond to this at all, I'm sure they'll try to discredit what I've said, but I feel like potential students have a right to know how AIMS is poorly run and you pay thousands of dollars for an intricate DIY course.

I applied to the patient care technician program and started november of 2022. During that program I applied again to the diagnostic medical sonography program. They called me told me I was accepted. I set up a date to discuss payment plans and such. I got a call the morning of from someone who told me I did not get in, they called the wrong person. I was beyond livid. I signed my exit paper work for patient care in july of 2023, my graduation ceremony was in APRIL OF 2024. i waited almost an entire year to have a ceremony. I decided to re apply to the diagnostic medical sonography program in june of 2024. AGAIN i was wait listed. I did my interview with Katherine Benz-Campbell. WHAT A BITCH. She gave me a piece of paper to write on and get pissed off when I did not flip the paper over fast enough. 2 interviews i did with Katherine and NEVER AGAIN. i have never met anyone with such an attitude problem like Katherine. I dont know where katherine gets off speaking to people the way she does but shes a horrible person and gets everything she deserves. I now work as a PCT and makie nothing. i made more working at target. DONT WASTE YOUR TIME

They also stated that if we had any issues to give them a call and they will help move things along. I have checked every day for 3 1/2 months now on the NJ board of nursing sight and my application is STILL pending! And yes, I made sure everything required is uploaded. I have called the Board of Nursing at least 20 times to check on the status and to escalate the issue but still have gotten no answers, except that the licenses usually take 3 months. So lie #1 from E&S! I called E&S and left a message for a call back. I called again this morning since no one called me back. The gentleman I spoke to said there was nothing he can do, and that the people that can help me at E&S are having staffing issues so he has no clue if or when someone will call me to help. Lie #2....It seems like all they care about is taking your money. If you are really interested in going into the medical field, try another school. This one isn't worth the time or money.
