Overall experience with ATA is decent. Majority of the staff are great and they answer any of the questions you may have promptly. It is a fast program and each term are 10 weeks long and within those 10 weeks, you are leaning a lot of information that you have to retain quickly and to receive an 80% or above in your classes to pass. Some of the instructors are subpar and need to work on their teaching instead of reading straight from the book or I've had some who would give you the wrong information and then fail you on your exam. I would like the school to implement a absent policy since they do not have one and it is somewhat of a hassle to be able to leave for a few weeks to months for maternity leave without withdrawing then re-enrolling all over again.
I’m receiving all the resources and instruction from my classes and instructors that is helping me achieve my goals of becoming an ultrasound tech! Could not be more grateful for this school and experience.
Complete rip off. They claimed they were accredited and that we would be able to get certified upon graduation and that was a lie. They informed us after it was too late to get our money 100% refunded that they weren’t actually accredited yet but they were working on it and hoped to be accredited by Graduation. That didn’t happen. Not many of us who actually completed the program got a job. They also kicked you out if you failed an ultrasound scanning test 3 times. Didn’t matter if you were passing all your classes, if you failed the scanning test you were done. No refund no nothing. ABSOLUTE SCAM. I don’t know how they’re still open and operating after screwing so many people. They also promised job placement, which is yet another lie they tell you to get you in the door. Less than 25% of my graduating class ever got a job.
SCAM !!! STAY VERY FAR!!! Never got my certificate and all they said was too bad. The ones who got certified said they were unable to get licensed because the school wasn't accredited! They manipulate you to pay more money and if you are naive or just young and don't know how to tell when people are manipulating you, you will be taken advantage of! Please don't waste your money here. They opened in Las Vegas before under American Institute of Medical Sonography, look it up, it was under the same owner.
The guy running this place is a fraud and changed his name many times in the past. He moves from different states and opens up these schools to scam people over and over. He got all of his other schools shut down and got in a lot of trouble. But he keeps getting away with it because the system doesn't have the right things in place to stop it. The teachers are not qualified and the structure of the school is like a play pen. People quit all the time and they just rehire new staff. Do not spend any money at this school, you WILL get scammed like I did and you won't be able to do anything about it. Do your due diligence and go to another school that is legit!
