They are very unorganized, I've been at this school for two years, and repeating courses. Between life, work, a kid and there last minute changes, and last second communication. I've gone through a lot to stay in this school. They only seem to call about money but won't call or leave voicemails about paperwork and documents needed. I pray this school, starts appreciating and respecting there students time and lives. I can vouch for a lot of the complaint on this site for Carrington. They want to drop me from the program after already starting me. The **** emailed me 4 hours before deadline to sign paperwork. Saying he was just made aware. The administration lack of communication to the person in charge has zero to do with me. I shouldn't be punished for a business lack of communication. I've already choose and been at this school. I actually participated and engaged in class, while most are lost in space or being shallow and vain. I show up everyday. Do my assignments, track down what is do. Cause they never gave me canvas access it going on second week. Heavenly father please put order back in this school. Amen I have emails, times and videos of how this school operates. It's already challenging continuing education. This school make you want to end your life. You put in all this work for them to try and pull the rug. With Carrington collage, lack of integrity, poor administration persons attitudes, HIGH professor/ administration turnover, that trickles downs and results in poor operations, NEGATIVELY impacting lives and this school wasting humans time. Any nursing class that started there in 2022 did not get a fair education. I was happy to LOA, thought they would have more figured out, like lectures and learning materials, a working canvas. The basics. I wouldn't recommend this school. Plus I had to get back stable.Review from Daniel O

I dont recommend this school, worst experienced, at the beginning told me the cost and then a week later they change the price. This school is not serious they only want you money, after 2 weeks of thinking about it I was ready to enroll and then ***********************, did not call me she just send a message saying that they selected other students to enroll, Im sure they made this up because I did not wanted to pay the extra money. Worst experience, if youre looking at a school go to other school that wants to help you and are serious. Please check the reviews they have the lowest reviews, Im glad they did not selected me, I want to go to a school that has good reviews and Carrington is not it.Review from Candy A

My entire process was a headache. I was told I could use the ** ****, they were just waiting to get approved. In the mean time take out federal loans as a back up, but dont worry it will get approved. Guess who was never approved? After I graduated, I got a big fat **** in the mail stating that the total I owed the school was wrong due to the math being incorrect. The financial lady got her math wrong and were realizing it a year later? I contacted the ****, the entire school, anyone in finance (apparently they couldnt keep staff). I contacted other Carrington Colleges, I emailed CEOs, and so many people and didnt get one email back. The **** of the school in ******* was a joke. Unprofessional and refused to help and could only say Ill get back with you. Months go by and that **** went to collections. I ended up paying it but will forever deter anyone from this school. They truly do not deserve to be a school and need to be shut down. Embarrassed to say I went to school here. STAY AWAY!!! PLEASE STAY AWAY!Review from Letticia K

So this school is absolutely terrible. I started the school September 2021 unfortunately due to circumstances out of my control I had Covid-19 I was hospitalized put on a ventilator for 40+ days and then was in a rehab for about a month. I had my family contact the school about a leave of absence and about coming back when I came out of the hospital and this school decided to just withdraw me. The VA was helping me out with tuition here and because of the schools decision to just withdraw me instead of putting me on a leave of absence they screwed me over completely. Now the VA says that they cannot approve to help me anymore due to laws of being withdrawn and not being able to reenroll. The school has increased their tuition since kicking me out and charging nearly ***** more for a program that isnt even worth the amount they were charging back then. All with the excuse of needing to increase due to demand exc I have the uniforms the iPad exc. The school has went from having class available nights 2 different schedules to just one they dont even have a steady MA teacher for their medical assisting program. The in class assignments are a joke they dont make sense and have many many errors. I have been trying to get a hold of someone anyone from the school all day calling multiple numbers even leaving a voicemail on the campus directors line but nothing no one here gives a c*** I just am looking to withdrawal from the school may be considering looking for help from the BBB or a lawyer because I feel as though I have been completely screwed over. The school at this point owes me. I wasted time and money here all to be screwed over, this needs to be fixed asapReview from Bruce T

My wife went to Carrington then Western Career College and it is accredited but when contacting Carrington for transcripts, official, and a record of the accreditation record that goes back some 30 years or more. Those records they do not keep automated. So leaving at least 30 phone calls to the records unit no transcripts were ever received nor record of accreditation and although she has a valid degree, the licensing committee of the ******************* ********************* ruled that Carrington does not qualify as post secondary education and therefore is not a post secondary school because it would not provide records.Both the transcripts and the records of accreditation are available, however, no one bothered to make copies and send them and no one would return the phone calls from the ********************* verifying attendance, units, type of degree and accreditation of the degree received.Therefore my wife was removed from all state personnel lists for appointments requiring any post secondary education as the business never provided any information, even after written and in person requests.Review from Monica O

I had to drop out of class due to daycare issues and was assured i would not have an out of pocket expense. Now I've been told I owe over 2k because oops they gave me incorrect info. I wish i would've read the comments on here before agreeing to attend.Review from Paula H

The worst school to attend. Their lack of communication and follow through. I spent thousands of dollars and my education was c*** and a staff that didn't know what they were doing. I even had to change instructors right at the end and found out that some of the material wasn't presented properly so there was no way of knowing what I missed out of the program that was suppose to be taught from the beginning. I have reached out multiple times to financial aid to get my loans figured out and not once did they communicate correctly with me and definitely not in a timely matter with which has left me a huge balance that they say is my full responsibility. I strongly erg anyone to reconsider their options for a trade school. If you are going to consider spending a lot of money you need to research better options. They are not here for their students. My instructor even has yet to follow through with my requests. My externship was a complete joke and I was not properly trained for the medical field. They even allowed me to finish out my externship with my employer and graduated me way before I was even suppose to graduate. I strongly encourage those that are researching and reviewing this school that you really read these reviews and consider not investing.
