When I first applied to carrington I was somehow scared but they do have great administration ad instructors who are really kind and willing to help to reach your goal and became successful in your career
I was part of the Massage Therapy Program before COVID and during COVID and during the application process everyone is amazing. During the beginning of my start the school was in the middle of switching the Instructors for the program. I have to say that the with the female instructor (at start), I really did not learn anything and felt extremely under supported. But when the male Instructor took over the class, he was easy to follow, I learned a lot and received nothing but support. Whenever there was a question he always took the time to explain and answer. I graduated from Carrington being able to do the career of my dreams. Too bad that he no longer works for Carrington, he was one of the only instructors that truly made a difference and showed that us students actually mattered
The staff are all so friendly and nice. When I was nervous to actually start Kensie talked me through everything and helped me feel so much better!
I like carrington college because they were so willing to work through my life style, and never made me feel less of a person. The staff has been very helpful. They were only concerned with my success. I would recommend Carrington College to anyone looking to take the next step in their career
Covid protocols were lax. Several of us could not hear the instructor through her mask. Our classes were interrupted for sales pitches by the administration. The room had poor ventilation and lighting. The seats were uncomfortable.
online experience wasnt bad. its organized and easy to find things. its just the poor teachers and the part where they cover themselves up thats the issue even though we pay the school.
they look after themselves more than they look after you even though your the one paying this ridiculous amount of tuition. its all about politics here, some teachers dont even teach but its your fault for failing. save time, money and stress by going to a bigger, cheaper college whos more lenient and supportive to students.
They are all sweet until you start your first class. After that class starts, those same people will ignore you or give you attitude. You pay 50k for an associates degree for nursing, but only 2 of the professors know how to teach. The other "teachers" act as if they paid for your tuition. They may be good as nurses, but should not be teaching. They get irritable if they don't know the answers to the questions and act as if they are doing you a favor by doing what they are hired to do. They are unprofessional, moody, demanding and act as if we are all liars who are not allowed to get sick as if COVID isn't around or as if they never got sick in their life. For 50k I expected quality education, not this circus. This school really needs to hire actual teachers with experience not nurses who think they can teach with no experience in teaching. This is not a cheap school to be testing us like this.
During the short time that we had to go online due to COVID, the transition was a nightmare. Hopefully they already fixed the issues.
They lie a lot. They lie about the accreditation to get you in. They lie about being able to wacth your screen and have proof of you somehow cheating. They don't communicate with each other and change minds way too many times. They dont let us know anything till the last minute. They come up with excuses and say all schools is this bad when it really isnt. Food is from vending machines. Computer lab and library are tiny. All this and they expect you to pay more than the cost of a public university. The dean expects students to not work at all and when you do she judges you. Half the teachers basically hands you the grade if half the students are failing. All to just look good. So if you dont want to learn anything and want an easy pass, make sure half the class fails for this to work. You can also cheat as ling as you persistently lie.
The staff at Carrington College are all very sweet and helpful. They give you the impression they want you to succeed in life and become someone beneficial to society. I feel like the environment is about being your "friend" more so then being the educator. It kind of feels like elementary school at times, and make me wonder if the instructors are what they say they are there to do and if they are actually truly wanting for success.
It’s been an awesome experience. I love the class and curriculum. The staff and Teachers are very welcoming. The class sizes aren’t too big. Lots of support as well. Id recommend to my peers. It was a great decision for me.
I have had a wonderful experience with Carrington College. Admissions has been very flexible with my schedule and needs, and has helped me to pursue my passion. The team at Carrington has walked me through each step, and thoroughly answered all my questions and concerns. I will be attending the Vet Assisting program in July, and I look forward to attending!
I like the way they treat you and also the have very good tutors and everyone is nice to you. It is fun in lab days because you get to work in modalities with your classmates and students from other programs.
The first couple of days felt overwhelming but we had staff coming and explain how to manage your time, and ask questions. Plus getting to know your class mates to help and exchange info to help if needed. I did not need to transfer credits. I have not experience needing to do that yet.
Online courses were a little different but nothing anyone can not adjust to. Learning to address topics in a professional manner. Talking with staff and students if help was needed. Understanding where work will be turned in, look for grades, and know what we will be learning or reading for classwork it was all explain and walked through. Just preparing us for what possibly be out in the work field and at least we will be knowledgeable.
They have a process they go through to get you ready from begin to end. Assist you as much as possible and make sure we are ready for our externship and interview/resume ready as well. Not there yet got a few more terms but before I blink I will be there.
