Allen School of Health Sciences Reviews

The professors are all top-notch. I only know four but they're very knowledgeable people and know what they're doing. They’re masters of their craft and we haven't even gotten to the tough stuff yet so I'm excited to learn more as we go along. Priscilla was the one who recruited me and helped me with getting established and getting all the documents I needed. Even she's amazing. She checks on me every day, every week and asks how everything is going. She tells me to ask her if I need any help or if I have any questions. So it's easy. You don't have to do it by yourself. Even with the challenges that come up, the way that Allen School deals with it, I love it. It's impressive, orderly and communicative.

I was already sold from my other experience but the salesperson went through the processes and answered every question, was available, and answered back. So it was excellent. The cost is great because college and so many other programs are so much more expensive with a lot less support. I'm getting my money's worth. But the online tools could use some work. Allen School just started using the program called Canva for the students and it's great, but there were some technical difficulties that make class a little frustrating sometimes. But that's the one issue out of everything else being amazing. And the teachers that are learning it with us are doing a great job and saying we’re in this together and not to worry.

The teachers make sure that while you're taking the course, you are aware of everything. Some teachers just teach to teach, to just get the money. But for some reason, the teachers at Allen School take their time out to make sure that each and every student understands what's being taught. So I like them for that. They were very attentive. If you need homework help, if you need any questions answered, they're just there. Even with customer service, if you call in and ask any questions, they make sure they get back to you promptly. They explain things in a way that you would understand, which is why I like it. I would recommend anyone to go to Allen School because they were great and they got me to where I needed to be.

I like the professionalism of the teachers, staff, and students. The professors go over what we have to do. Every Monday, we have to go into the thing. I'm in module 1 now. Tuesday to Friday is online. On Fridays, we go through a lesson but we do a review of what to expect on Monday and they tell us, “Make sure you take these notes because this will definitely appear on the test on Monday.” And gives us the opportunity to study for how we do it. One teacher suggested us doing WhatsApp or Zoom with the class. That way, we have a group chat. And someone set that up.

The way they set up everything is easy. Being able to go back on to Canvas and see the slides, I like that way of learning. Colleges don't do that. I had to copy things off the board. I had to go into the class. I went into the campus every day, and that was inconvenient. So, I like the fact that Allen School has the thing set up with Canvas, and I can go into the notes and look at the slide, because the slides are a very big help. That's a wonderful idea.

Even though I finished school, I can still call them up at any time and if I need help, they'll be there. The other day, I was getting trouble with applying to do the state board and I called up and I said, "I'm getting trouble with this website and I really need to do the scores because somebody is trying to help me to get into a hospital and I need that." He was like, "Come on in." He was busy but then, another lecturer came and she helped me. She took my phone to him while he was lecturing, he made sure everything was okay, and I was done. I'm getting my exam done next month. So, even though we're done with school, they're always there to help and that is something I greatly appreciate.

The quality of professors is good. They are a bit strict but you can get that going into college. They explain the work and how it's to be done. We're not confused about what's going on. But I would like the learning process to be more in-person than just one day because I'm an in-person learner and I work better that way. But I do understand that because of COVID, it has to be online and they can't have so many people in the building. That's the only thing I would like to change as it does affect my learning. But as I get older, I have to work on it and adjust to what is not perfect for me.

Other than that, the program is well thought out. I'm only at the beginning of mod two. My first module was an introduction class and they took their time to teach us even though it was the basics. They went through everything so we could all understand. They never had a problem with us asking questions or they never made us feel the questions were dumb. The homework and assignments were very straightforward.

My learning experience was really well. All the courses were awesome. I liked everything such as the anatomy, the hands-on activity, and the administration. The professors were really great and I liked them. They were challenging and charismatic. It was everything. Join this school because it opens up a lot of doors for your future. It was one of the best schools that I've ever gone to. I got to learn a lot and I interacted with many professional professors.
