  • As a student of intercoast college i have been academically challenged on many levels. Things move at a very fast pace and i have had the pleasure of meeting lots of new people. i am continuing my education with them and I am currently enrolled in the mhrt course.and I am happy to say that I have received everything that I signed up for.I was immediately hired in my chosen field and look forward to learning more with them and continuing my education as an alcohol and drug counselor so thank you intercoast college for my continued success.

  • I love Intercoast college I am a double graduate working on a triple. They are very professional, especially the campus director; she truly is about the student's success. I have really been able to succeed with my educational goals at ICC/Orange. Students have to take ownership of their own goals and some only want to blame others for their own mistakes. Intercoast allows you to take ownership and I strongly recomend this school.

  • Seriously.....DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY. i signed up for the alcohol and drug counseling program on a whim after i found out that Centaur (another alcohol and drug counseling school) did not accept financial aid. Intercoast's program is EIGHTEEN GRAND for nine-ish months of class, Centaur's is ten and takes about six months.

    I feel like i learned VERY LITTLE from Intercoast.

    The admissions guy, seems to know absolutely nothing about the program and tries to be as witty as a used car salesman with his sales tactics. unfortunately for him he's pretty easy to see right through. like i said, the ONLY reason i signed up for this school is because i needed to do my CAADAC program with an institution that accepts financial aid. i talked to him the other day and he tried to sell me on their garbage mental health program without listening to ANYTHING i had to say. i have 60 college credits and have absolutely no use for their mental health certification crap, i was only talking to him about completing an associates there and of course he tried to sell me on the associates degree (which i'm sure is worthless) plus the useless mental health certification.

    if i could pay every person considering signing up for Intercoast to not sign up, I WOULD. I'm serious, it's THAT BAD. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY!!!! i have been to several different REAL colleges and this was BY FAR THE WORST AND MOST EXPENSIVE COLLEGE EXPERIENCE I'VE HAD YET. Check out Saddleback, IVC, Centaur, etc. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY HERE.

  • Intercoast college in orange is one school that i WOULDN'T recommend to anyone. You don't get the proper training as in hands on training with half of the equipment that they have in their lab. For the money that I'm about to be paying gets me very upset because they did not give me my moneys worth. I was a medical assistant student and I regret ever enrolling at their school. If anyone plans to attend Intercoast College PLEASE find out more information about them. They will tell you what you want to hear as long as you enrolled with them and believe me it won't be like that within a few months but by then it will be too late for you to get your money back.
