    This review is specifically about the motorcycle Basic Riding Course taught through Barton…read more After having failed my riding test last year (by one point - but a fail is a fail) after taking the basic riding course through Harley Davidson, I decided to try again this year, before my learner's permit expired. I found that BCCC teaches the course locally (in lieu of having to drive to Topeka all 4 days, as I did for the HD course), and charges $70 less than HD. I figured at 54, worst case scenario; I'd rather lose $230 than $300 if I failed again. I also appreciated that the course was taught in my neighborhood, as that allowed me to leave my service dog at home during range practice, instead of paying for doggie daycare. The main instructor/coach, Bob McGee, was very knowledgeable on topic, and also gave great pointers on specific problems I was presenting with as I rode; which allowed me to focus on targeted changes. His co-instructor on the range, Dave, was also very supportive and positive. We were lucky to use the Fort Riley riding range, instead of the Junction City range, because the post range has a classroom on property (and vending machines and bathrooms). One of the things I liked best about this course, is that the Barton course uses Kawasaki Eliminators, 125cc motorcycles. The one I rode in my previous class last year, was a 500cc HD and was a heavy, intimidating motorcycle for me, as a first-time rider. The 125cc cycles were lighter and more comfortable, given my small stature and physical limitations. I also appreciated that the BCCC course had less range time, minimizing fatigue and building on successes. I am delighted to report that I passed this basic riding course with points to spare. But even more than that; the way Mr. McGee and his co-instructor coached the course gave me a good feeling about motorcycle riding, without feeling intimidated and fatigued as I did in my first course. I highly recommend the basic motorcycle riding course through Barton! And the instructors were cool with me bringing my SD to the classroom portions of the course.

    It is hard for me to state the benefits of enrolling in a Centriq program, because you will…read moredefinitely get out what you put in. My cohort had very good class cohesion, which greatly has helped me and my entire cohort to have success during the program. My initial goal from taking this program was getting help through career services and getting introductory certificates. Centriq has done a great job for assisting with both of those items. I have been able to attend 3 different Centriq events, have utilized various career service meetings, and even found assistance through their recruiting efforts. So far I have achieved my MS900, and yet to achieve the AZ900 and SEC+ certificates which I plan to receive soon. I took the cybersecurity program which offered a great well rounded introduction into many IT concepts to someone who might have never seen them or touched a computer. Being someone who was already in IT prior to enrollment, I cannot say there was one time where I felt bored or like I couldn't use the opportunity to expand my knowledge by asking a question. The only time it ever gets boring is when we covered the curriculum for specific certs, which is just the nature of the test material and not a fault of the program. Whether you are coming in for a career change or a career start, Centriq definitely has the capabilities to launch you into the IT world. I cannot recommend it enough.

    I encourage anyone thinking about this school to not attend here!…read more My experience with Washburn University's Diagnostic Medical Sonography program was extremely disappointing, and ultimately I was put between a rock and a hard place and withdrew because of how my clinical placement was handled by the school. When I was accepted into the program, I was given a clinical site and was under the impression that the necessary arrangements were being completed. I was told that the school was working on the paperwork with the clinical facility. However, as the program start date approached, I discovered that the affiliation paperwork had still not been finalized (the school didn't tell me that, I had to attempt to schedule my clinicals and find that out from someone who has no connecting to the school). What was most frustrating was the lack of communication. I was not proactively informed that there was a problem with my clinical placement. I had to find out myself that the clinical affiliation was still unresolved and that the school and legal department they had worked with, had not completed the agreement. This was not a minor issue. Clinical placement is an essential part of a sonography program, and Washburn's own DMS information states that full acceptance is contingent upon a signed affiliation agreement. The program also explains that the Clinical Coordinator is responsible for working with the facility to obtain the necessary documentation. (Washburn University). As to which after I addressed the issue to her, I was told via email: "It was my understanding that as long as we completed the affiliation agreement process, we would be good to go.".... They never made 100% certainty. By the time I found out there was a problem, the program was 2.5 weeks from beginning and there was nothing I could do other that contact the school, who should have known about this issue or at least figured it out. I was left without a confirmed clinical placement and without a clear alternative plan. This also affected my ability to complete some of the requirements needed to begin the program. Although I did already spend money on some things, as to which I cannot receive that money back. I ultimately decided that I could not move forward under those circumstances. I was not withdrawing because I had lost interest in sonography, I withdrew because I did not feel comfortable committing my time and tuition to a program when such a critical component had not been secured or communicated to me in a timely manner. I strongly recommend that anyone considering this program / school ask very specific questions about their clinical placement before committing. Get confirmation that the affiliation agreement is fully executed and that the clinical site is actually secured. The biggest issue for me was not that an affiliation agreement encountered delays. Things happen. The issue was that I was allowed to move toward the start of the program without being clearly informed that my clinical placement was still unresolved, and I was not given a satisfactory alternative when it became apparent that the placement was falling through. They expected me to give them more time (after having 3 months to work on this issue). They said that after 2.5 weeks if they still didn't answer, I could then withdraw hopefully in time to get my tuition back. Mind you, those 2.5 weeks I still would have been expected to do course, so I would have had to potentially spend more money on textbooks that would not be refunded if the school didn't get it together. I expected better communication and organization from a university program where clinical placement is essential to completing the degree. I was give no alternative to them falling through with this and email replies got shorter and shorter, as well as more blunt and less helpful as the school figured out they weren't getting tuition money from me DUE TO THEM FALLING THROUGH.

    I had such a great experience at Washburn! The professors and staff are great and truly care about…read morethe success of their students.
