Concorde Career College

A total NIGHTMARE. Completely disorganized, the instructors, specifically in the Respiratory Therapy program here do not teach competently. The quality of the teaching is nowhere near a match to what they are charging for tuition. The program director Michael ** is very rude and cruel. The rudest man that I have personally ever encountered in life. This program director threatened us and told us out of his mouth that he will blackball us and we will not be able to work at any hospital in Memphis, TN and that we would have to go find work in Jonesboro, AR. Yes the program director told students this. Smh.

Hello. I like to start by saying the school is not for the students at all... Second term the computer deleted all grades and once it was put back my average dropped. Upon testing I passed headed to third term only to received a call for Adon (Ms. **) that said I did not pass by 0.9 points and my grades were not put in (which they put zeros there). I even went and talked with the dean (Ms. **) at another campus after driving an hr away only for her to tell me that the grades were right without even trying/nor showing concern about the mistake that happen to their system.

I was in the PTA program and we have skills to check off. I was a day late and I was told "You will take your practical at a later date." So when I took my practical I screwed up on a safety fail, and was told "Okay let's just start over." No indication that I failed it. A few days went by and my original teacher pulled me aside and said I have to retake it. I had no warning that this was my 4th and final attempt. I was deducted points for SOUNDING UNSURE of vital ranges. I was then taken to the director and they told me I took this exam 4 times. There was no communication or clarification that this exam was my last chance. They told me "Because you did not take this exam on practical day it is considered a 0. Because you started over with an instructor that was considered try #2 and #3. Including the one you took today was #4." So they withdrew me.

I attend this school only because they offered night RN. THE WORST MISTAKE EVER! They can even pretend to care! In the 2 years there had been 3 different DON. And what applied to one student last term does not apply this term. In my last term of Nursing Professor that I had complained about since term 3 accusing me of cheating (which they have had cheating going on the entire time I was there with teachers' assistance). They never talk to me, they went by what she said and expelled me. I have 63 credits that I can't do anything with. I went to talk the LPN exam and I felt stupid because they literally talk with favoritism.

Updated on 04/13/2021: Hello. First off why is it absolutely impossible to get ahold of anyone at Concorde College? Second, thank you for not helping me find a job and putting me into financial ruin. Third, I pay a bill and already another bill is sent saying I'm late. (Please stop. It's annoying, we have something called covid-19...a pandemic...have you heard of it? Obviously not..) Lastly, at the utterly disgusting Garden Grove location (Btw I love garden grove. I can't stand concorde college.) I think it was Monica the one who sits at her chair all day smirking like there is no tomorrow promised me a job and sent me to these hell hole locations for "training". No wonder why it's impossible to get ahold of anyone. Today I sent an email and I am sure nothing will come of it... It's a SCAM and I am pushing for my loans to be dropped. Who else feels this way? I have epilepsy...and I was hoping to get into the medical field but it's too bad this "school" failed me.

This school knew from my very first visit that I didnt finish High School or get my GED and told me that wasn't an issue and proceeded to help me with my student loan paperwork and even told me they would help me after externship. 15 years later I got back to continue my education and I find out WITHOUT a diploma or GED I would have to be tested by a college prior to enrollment. This school is very untrustworthy... If you are in San Diego avoid at all cost..

Graduated from Concorde-my advisor said the only reason I got a diploma was to keep their numbers up. Career advice & internships were non-existent. Going on to get a higher degree in my field in spite of them.

I'm like every student that applies at Concorde. How much better my life is going to be. Well I'm here to tell you that everything that they tell you isn't true. First of all, it's all about the money. Not about the money you will make, it's about the money they are going to make. They sign you up, and they get the money the government sends them to teach you. The problem is they don't hold up to their end. I had a problem with my instructor. My clutch went out in my car, and it took me about three days to get back to class. He had it in for me for a while and flunked me on a lab test that was seen by several students and was praised for the performance, yet he flunked me. I was about 9 months into a 15 month degree and was dismissed from Concorde but could start back in approximately 5 months and would have a different instructor.

I completed the Dental Assistant Program at Concorde. Great program. Besides the instructors sleeping with a few students overall I enjoyed it! Unfortunately I have not been able to find a job. Going into the program you're constantly being told on how the programs offer guaranteed jobs. Turned out not to be so true. After countless days of hard work and 17,000 in debt you would think you’d have the start of your career. After reaching out to graduate services to “help with job placement” I would say out of 28 students in my graduating class a handful are employed. After several failed attempts from the job placement they stop calling and in 6 months they are expecting payment on the student loans. To sum it all up my best advice would be DONT DO IT. Sincerely, A broke jobless Concorde graduate.

I received my technical degree from Concord Career School in San Antonio. It was not an easy course since we tested weekly on medical terminology. Once we were done with the courses most business only offer starting pay as $9.00. The externship with a nightmare. The first company that they sent me to had a woman that was crazy and kept yelling at me for exceeding in my work and they had to reprimand her. I was sent to a doctors office to work at the front desk. There were many other students there. I was not trained and spent a week on my own ringing up patients bills and inputting their information. I had not met the doctor at the time because she was out of town.
