The material learned in the 8 week class was interesting and should be helpful out in the field…read more The best part of the classes is the opportunity to learn how to draw blood correctly and we were given plenty of time to do so. The academy fired our instructor with only one class left in the 8 weeks, which was extremely disruptive to our progress. Regardless of their reasons for firing him (which they shared with the students), I think they should have waited to let him go after our sessions were completed. We were left to review the material and take our final with a completely new instructor. I would not recommend this facility for phlebotomy training because I found them to be very rigid to work with and not flexible with student's schedules. I also think they are expensive compared to other facilities. The most important piece of training is a great instructor and Aplmed let an incredible instructor go.

I would not recommend this school based on my personal experience and observations. I have concerns…read moreregarding the institution's priorities, leadership practices, and overall commitment to student success. Additionally, I had concerns about the owner's professional conduct and behavior, which I felt did not reflect the standards expected of an educational institution. I also became aware of concerns raised by some staff members regarding compensation practices, including reports that some employees may have received payments without standard tax withholdings being applied. These concerns should be reviewed and addressed appropriately to ensure compliance with employment and payroll requirements. I encourage prospective students to conduct thorough research, including reviewing accreditation, certification recognition, student outcomes, employment opportunities, and the overall reputation of the school before making an enrollment decision.

My fiancé and I recently took a campus tour with Nicholas, and unfortunately, our experience was…read moreextremely disappointing. When we asked a simple question about the total cost of attendance, he immediately gave us numbers and then stated, "If it's not for you, I don't want to waste your time and continue the tour." At no point did we suggest the price was "too much" for us--we were simply requesting information. Throughout the tour, he repeatedly emphasized that "if it's not doable or not for us, we don't have to continue." Instead of focusing on the school itself, This not only distracted from the purpose of the tour but also made us feel singled out and discouraged. As a Hispanic woman and with my fiancé being Black, I felt strongly that we were being racially profiled. The way we were spoken to suggested that we were being dissuaded from considering the school, rather than welcomed or persuaded to join the community. I cannot imagine a white couple being treated in the same manner. The entire interaction felt dismissive, demeaning, and disrespectful. Nicholas also mentioned that he was leaving for vacation the next day, which left the impression that maybe he was not invested in giving us a meaningful tour so he could have a mellow last work day. Overall, what should have been an exciting and informative experience was instead extremely discouraging. I left feeling disappointed and disrespected, when I had truly hoped to leave with a positive impression of the school. EDIT: I received a call back from a lady in admissions regarding my concerns. She stated she had listened to the recording and told me, "I'm sorry you feel that way, but I didn't hear anything wrong. Sometimes the price is a deterrent for people." When I explained that Nicholas had made the comment multiple times, even when I didn't have any concerns for the price she dismissed it by saying, "I Only heard him say it once," to which I responded "He said it a few times." She replied with " Okay, two times, but I personally only heard it once," which implied I was exaggerating or lying. Instead of acknowledging our experience or offering a genuine apology, she asked me to take down my review since it mentions Nicholas' name. If she had simply validated our concerns, apologized appropriately, and not pressured me to remove my review, I would have been willing to take it down. Unfortunately, the way this was handled left me feeling even more disrespected and dismissed. I would've definitely gave you guys a second chance but this overall experience made me extremely disappointed, I am no longer choosing Concorde.

It's awful having a school giving up on you. After your paying for classes and going back to school…read moreafter 10 years and in my case I expected having trouble getting used to the routine and yes I expected failing. But they have a policy that they said they have of "max of three fails and you out". The teachers are great but that policy isn't beneficial if there are students that took them a while to get back into school. I don't know but I felt discouraged, not even sure if school is for me at this point. Also still your credits won't transfer to another school not worth it look for another school with more support and your credits transfer almost 80k for the BSN program and the credits aren't transferable not worth it!!

I used to take my cert exams here long ago, but got out of the habit when their schedules stopped…read moreworking for me and went other places. I tried them again recently when they had the only schedule that worked for a Vue exam. There seem to be only 2 places in the DTC that do Vue, so your options are pretty limited. They look like a pretty nice place: everytihng is glass so that you can see thru the walls and there always seems to be a ton of people walking around taking classes, so they must be pretty good for that. Their testing area was pretty nice. The computers seemed to have actually been made in the past 5 years, which is unusual for a testing provider. I'm knocking a star off because their testin chairs are 100% uncomfortable. I know you have to be smarter than the chair, but I could find no way to adjust it and it was way too high for me and my long legs. So I had to sit completely hunched over and unconfomfortable while taking my test. Knocking off another star cause their receptionist was one of the rudest receptionists I've ever met. I got there a little early (which most places prefer and let you check in early, especially if there's room) and she just told me that I was early and she wouldn't help me until it was my time and then just ignored me. Annoying!

Hmm, maybe your training company should have all of their software properly update prior to having a full room of trainees? That would not have been a problem if it weren't for his attitude. In fact, I ended up taking care of the issue myself. The class was too slow paced for a so-called advanced class. Also, there was no recap or review or practice test. There really was not any practical practice at all. I voiced this concern when I received 2 follow up phone called from New Horizons (aka they were trying to hit me up for more money). I don't think it mattered to them...anyway, I learned some good points in the class but I think I'll look elsewhere from now on.
