    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 went into their Cybersecurity Program in 2024 at the St. Louis location. I dont know how it was…read moreat other locations but I feel that the money I spent could've been spent elsewhere. 8am is when the school opens but nobosy was ever there in the morning or the staff & instructors were always late. I am grateful for the short time that I spent there but I will say that they are misleading on their programs at least the Cybersecurity. The program consisted of 98% lecture, 1% testing, & 1% hands on. As far as the career advisors go they don't have the connections stated & guaranteeing a job after graduation. Overall 25k for a program that other institutions offer at a lower cost & that deliver on their content. But that is money I wont get back.

    Worst University EVER to send my child to and she has been on campus 4 years making the Deans &…read morePresidents list, the administration/professors only give lip service to the students when they voice a concern then label them amongst their clicky immature professor/administration group as a problem, (with the exception of Sarah and Dr. Bearman as they have been exceptional). If a student voices a concern to administration that is someone that will actually listen and try to help their hands are slapped for helping and they are either told to "stay in their lane" or they somehow no longer work there. No wonder it takes 6 years for half of their students to graduate with a bachelor's and almost half drop out after 4 years without a degree. They are getting Federal $'s for most all of these students #moneyhustle. Do your own research my stats came from https://www.collegefactual.com/colleges/washburn-university/academic-life/graduation-and-retention/chart-graduation-rate.html. Also, LLC is in serious need of renovation between the black mold and cock roaches but yet they build the new President a new Hollywood house. All under the claim that the tech students built the house and it was funded by donors HA, perhaps those "donors" would have preferred the money go to students to have decent livable housing. RANT OVER but could say so much more!
