      This is a program for CST. The program started October 2022 and ended Jan 2024. It started off with 2 instructors and 1 director.This school did not have available instructors to teach us what was promised because they both quit in April. The director stepped in but was teaching 3 classes so that we had no time to be in lab and learn what we were promised before starting clinicals.Also we started refresher because he was made aware that the instructor from the beginning of module 2 was not up to par in his teaching as well as teaching was behind. I was delayed starting my clinical rotation by 6 weeks. Which put me behind on clinical hours, so that I was required to take personal time to go to class more thank what was required in result of that. When a new instructor was finally hired, she failed to teach us, majority of the time dismissing the class early, or failing to be "able to sign into her account on the computer". We never received the remainder of lab class that we were supposed to get. I reached out in May of 2023 to ************** and have been in contact back and forth with *********************** since then, acknowledging their mistakes for them to say in Feb 2024 that they will not do anything.

      Not the experience I was expecting , since the start of the program these people have been rude and unwilling to help. As I have finished and graduated the program, I still have not found a job nor have I recieved any help from my so called advisor. I have 12,000$ in student loans on my credit and no job to show for the program I dedicated 9 months of my time too. Really disappointed and I want this c*** off my credit because it was a big huge waste of my time. I am a Medical Billing and Coding graduate as of 2/8/2024
