- HVAC Program really sucks, I didn't learn enough to get a job in HVAC. Instructors were former techs, one really stood out when I first started, but the others didn't seem to care... I would not recommend the school

- Biggest waste of my time and money. Sure, the classes were extremely easy and I got good grades, but I was not learning anything. The degree is worthless because plenty of administrative assistants at hospitals have no formal training before getting hired and in order to get a higher level job you need to have a BACHELORS degree, not an associative. I think the school is a big ripoff. You have to pay to be in the Honors Society! You would think they were already taking enough of our money. I wanted to test out of the keyboarding classes because I was already an extremely fast typist, but they refused to let me take other classes instead so I was forced to take THREE levels of typing. I would finish the day's assignments within the first half hour of the course but the teacher would make me stay and sit in the room for the whole four hours and when I left, he called my mom! I didn't think they were allowed to do that... The teachers there do not even need to have teaching degrees! Overall, I am very disappointed with this school. I didn't even go to my graduation, I just let them send my phony diploma to me in the mail. I ended up going to a REAL college, and while they accepted a few of my credit hours, my adviser could not believe that some of the courses I took were actually considered courses. Please, do not waste your money on Bohecker College (or Fortis College, as it is now called). If you get an entry-level job for a hospital or law office, a lot of places will offer reimbursement for college after a year of employment if you choose to pursue a REAL degree.

- All I can say is that I completed the course and got my diploma but, not quite sure I was given all the support that I needed.
