- There is nothing exceptional about this school, however I had excellent instructors. I haven't received much help with job placement. I don't regret my attending school there.

- If they tell you they will help you find a job, they lied. they are very disorganized, and unprofessional.
The folks were expecting a graduation, but when graduation time rolled around, they were told that
"not enough people wanted a formal graduation".
who did they ask??
