- DO NOT BELIEVE ANY OF THE GOOD REVIEWS FOR THIS SCHOOL, THEY ARE FAKE AND WRITTEN BY THE STAFF MEMBERS!!
I am a current student at Central Career School and they are honestly THE WORST school you could ever attend. They are extremely unorganized and the students have no voice! There isn't enough equipment for all the students they have.
THEY RUN THIS SCHOOL LIKE A BUSINESS AND THEY ONLY WANT YOUR MONEY! SAVE YOURSELF THE FINANCIAL BURDEN AND DON'T GO HERE! GO TO A REGULAR COLLEGE OR SOMEWHERE ELSE!!
The School is WAY too small and there are only a three good teachers here!! THEY ARE UNDER CLOSE WATCH BY THE STATE. THEY'RE OBVIOUSLY NOT A GOOD SCHOOL.
PLEASE DO NOT GO HERE. COMING TO THIS SCHOOL WAS THE WORST DECISION I EVER MADE!
Hands on learning? think again. its mostly notes and when you actually do get a chance to do some hands on THERE IS NOT ENOUGH EQUIPMENT.
Small Class Sizes? THINK AGAIN!
THIS SCHOOL IS A JOKE. THEY ARE JUST AFTER YOUR MONEY.
ANY GOOD REVIEW ON THIS IS NOT WRITTEN BY REAL STUDENTS.

- Best decision I ever made was coming to CCS. I did the dental course an was really happy I did. The teachers were very patience and I really luv the career. When I first came to central career I didn't know if I could make it. I had so much stuff going on in my life and going back to school was really tough for me. I was having a bad break up with my ex and couldn't really focus as much as I wanted. But the teachers and staff at central really went out of their way for me. Definitely take advantage of the extra tutoring they have. You'd be really dumb not to. If I cab handle the work you can to but you have to do your homework and make sure you come to school. I missed some time because I got sick. I was worried I wouldn't catch up but the tutoring and Mrs. Vernell's encouragement really made the difference. I can't tell you about the other courses there but Dental was just awesome. Mrs. Vernell helped me out big time with finding the site and getting my resume in order. You know, sometimes things in life can get you down but when you have a goal you really gotta focus on it and do what it takes to finish up. I wanted to show my family - and my ex ;-) that I could do it and be OK on my own. Going to central was the best thing that happened to me in a pretty crappy year overall.

- As a graduate of CCS I can say it was one of the worst schools i have ever attended. They are very unorganized. The teachers are never on the same page. Mrs Zamora is the best and only teacher that should be teaching at that school. It is very little hands on and I stress this because i work in the field now and had to learn a lot from just being thrown into assisting on the job. Most of your time spent in school is taking notes. A lot of what you will be taught isn't even done in the field anymore. You are taught things you are not even legally allowed to do like take impressions. The school is extremely low budget and it is not by any means cheap. The school was a huge disappointment for me and would definitely suggest you do your research before wasting your money! good luck hope this helps.

- OMG...are you people for real? I'm a recent grad from the dental assisting program and I'm working! Don't listen to the constant complainers who wouldn't be satisfied at YALE, this school is a good choice. staff is great, faculty great, and administration is always willing to help students. The place is clean and the equipment is fine... People get a life! Don't let this keep you from this school!

- I did not enjoy being at central career school would not recommend to anyone! Very dirty, unorganized not enough equipment for the amount of students and money you pay! There are three teachers who are great the rest could do without. Even the teachers are very unorganized though at times. The program at night is extremely rushed and they do not at all care if you are lost or rushed or have concerns about it. It was not a great experience would never do it over.

- I loved it here. Teachers and staff are awesome and really go the extra mile to help you out. So glad I found this place. The only negative is that a couple students in my class are down about everything and whine about everything. But the school has been awesome.

- I currently attend CCS and it's a terrible place, other than the teachers, it's a waste of time! The administration is so unprofessional... They never know what's going with state regulations the teachers and the administration will never have the same story for any question you have! The staff changes very abruptly as in daily. The school is very dirty and they have very limited supplies! You are told to be on time yet class doesn't ever start on time a good 15 to 29 min late, I would never come back here again! Please save yourself the headache and go somewhere else!

- I attended Central Career's Dental Assisting program and I loved it! The teachers and staff are great. I learned a ton and they helped me find an awesome job in a Dental Office. They re-did the whole place and I heard they got a new School Director. Definitely recommend it to everyone.

- Attending Central Career School was the best decision I made. The instructors and staff members are great and really care about all the students. In 2010 the school upgraded their equipment and the building. Highly recommend Central Career School.

- If you are thinking of going to this school think twice about it. You will be in for a surprise. Do not believe this is all hands on. I am in the Dental Assistant department in this school. You take notes, notes, and more notes. You learn things very fast, so be prepare to study. There is barely any hands-on. The machine and the things you learn is old school method. They only have two dental chair, 1 x-ray machine, 1 darkroom, and 1 auto processor. Which means if you have a class of 20 you must wait your turn and it might be a while. They rarely start on the time mostly you are waiting for them to start. Knowing what you know now you decide whether or not to come here.
