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.

They are TERRIBLE, 2026 review do yourself a favor and RUN AWAY. I attended the MA program after…read morebeing lied to about the program itself and the duration it was going to take to complete it. I was on a recorded line when she lied to me and instead of helping me the staff looked me right in my face and told me they could not offer me any help and they didn't find the audio recording, both lies. They kept me in there for over a week after I'd already decided to cut my losses. They are money hungry trolls, do yourself a favor and go elsewhere. Cambridge offers the same program for 14k while theirs is 20k+. They want money for EVERYTHING. There are maybe 4 good people out of their ENTIRE staff, the president of the entire school is no help either, all blood suckers and I've talked to others who've had the same experience. It's sickening.

I attended Concorde for the DA program and honestly regret that decision. The lack of communication…read morethat the teachers, administrators, and every person involved with the DA program have with their students is completely unprofessional. I learned more about Dental assisting in one week on my externship than anyone ever taught me during the 7 months I spent at Concorde. When going on to my externship they told us to never hesitate to reach out and ask questions. When I did, I was given dry texts that never actually answered my questions fully. They also told us due dates for assignments and then last minute, send out an email saying it was due that night. They have never once stopped to think about and consider that people in the program have jobs and lives outside of school and externships. When in school, we were given 15-20 assignments a week and useless tests but only spending maybe 4 hours in the lab for the two days we were there. In reality Dental assisting requires no tests or assignments and is 90% hands on work. If you are considering attending Concorde for their DA program I'd highly recommend not going into $20,000 dollars of debt just to show up to the office on your first day of externship and learn that almost everything they taught you was useless. I also realized very quickly that externship is another way of saying free labor. Working thirty hours a week with no pay check is frustrating and emotionally draining. If I had known what I know now about Concorde I would've never even thought about attending. I wish I could give them zero stars.

I never thought I would be learning incredible marketing techniques specific to the industry, gaining wholesale equipment and material connections and business development strategies that stretch even beyond hood cleaning. And this is really just the tip of the iceberg. I truly feel like I got so much more out of the class than what I paid for and expected. I consider Chris a lifelong friend now and built friendships with all of classmates during my time. Victor, Cisco, Leo, Marco, Marcos, Josh, Huiman, and Wagner I wish you all the best! I just started a kitchen exhaust cleaning company (www.michiganhoodcleaners.com) and I won't be sending my employees anywhere else!

This is a fun no nonsense educational format geared to learning and positive preparation for the state exam. Karen is an expert and I highly recommend her! Her classroom style is very unique and you will love the outcome once you commit yourself.

I really try hard not to have to write a public review about someone's business but unfortunately I…read morehave to share what happened to me last night... I signed up for real estate school with Karen Climer of Demetree Real Estate School and the first class was last night. I was super excited to go! Walked in the foyer and Karen was there and told us to silence our phones and put them away. So I pulled out my phone to silence it, walked into the room and found a desk. I laid down my notebook and put my phone on top while I was getting all my things situated. The next thing I know, she was in my face yelling at me "Did you not hear me when I said phones are not allowed in my classroom?!" I told her..."I did, I am getting ready to put it in my purse" and she screamed again at me "I told you not to carry it over the threshold of my classroom"! At this time I am mortified, humiliated because this is in front of the whole classroom! I said "I'm sorry" and she stopped yelling at me and walked to the front. While standing up still in shock, I said "Just so you know, that was extremely rude and unnecessary of you to speak to me that way". Throughout the course of this four hour class, she took two adults phones away from them when they forgot to put them away walking back in on break! She had other moments of speaking down to people in class as well. I asked for a refund but she will not refund me even though she told the class last night she would refund you if you don't like get no phone rule. We ended having a phone conversation today and she said I was disrespectful to her for "walking over the threshold with my phone". I told her you wouldn't talk to a DOG the way she spoke to me! So here is the deal...PLEASE PLEASE if you are considering going to Demetree School with Karen Climer....DO NOT. There are plenty of other great schools out there to choose from that treat you as a human being with kindness and respect. **She never explained why she has a strict no cell phone policy, but I imagine she wouldn't want people filming her treating people this way and putting it on the internet. It's disgusting really...I am still in complete shock from her emotionally abusive behavior!
