Academy College — Attraction in Bloomington

I only give this school 1 star because it seems all instructors here are great people and do care about their students. Unfortunately the people who run the school could care less about you, specifically financial aid and the Campus Director. They will be your best friend sucking as much financial aid and student loans out of you as they can. Then when you finish school there good luck getting any answers on what is going on with left over money in your account, in my case 10,000+ dollars. I went over 2 months being ignored by the Campus director who I was told was the only one with the answers to where my money was going, always forwarded to voice mail which my calls were never returned and emails went unresponded to... Not the way you want to be treated by the person who is handling your money. The classes weren't that great... the instructors are pretty much stuck (Not their fault) to just reading the book and or just prepping you to pass a test with out really learning the material.

There are alot of good people at this school but the higher up people just care about how much money they are making so I can not recommend this school. This was evident on how they would push people through the higher aviation courses when they hadn't even flown in a plane yet setting them up for failure, and they did fail.

I recently tried to transfer credits to a State school in MN and they said they will not except ANY credits from...

I am just finishing my Aviation Business degree and after the next quarter I will have my bachelors in business degree and I couldn't be happier with the experience I've had dealing with both Academy College and with Thunderbird Aviation. I lived in Minneapolis for the first year of my training and schooling and then moved back to my home town of Fargo. Academy and Thunderbird worked with me and my schedule so that I could come down to the cities every other week to do my training and I took online classes so I was able to finish all of it within three years. Because of the training I received I was able to get a job in Fargo as a part 91 corporate pilot before I even finished my CFI license. The instructors at Thunderbird are very knowledgable and trained me at a high level. I can't say enough good things about the ground instructors at Academy either. They prepped me for the FAA exams so well that not only have I never failed an exam, but I passed with great scores. My job I now have is due to the outstanding training I received and I can't thank them enough. From a guy that is married and a new father, I'd say their flexibility with me was key. The staff at Academy even mailed me my books so I didn't have to make a special trip down to get them and they even add courses just for students if they need them for their degree. FIVE STARS and it's...

HORRIBLE, DO NOT GO THERE!!!!!!! This is the worst school EVER. I went to Normandale and DCTC and they were amazing. This school does A LOT on line, like the accounting program was pretty much all online and I was told that it wasn't. They lie and cheat you out of money. The teachers are HORRIBLE. I asked for an extension because I was in a very bad situation and had to move 2 times and they told me TS because I wasn't in the hospital I failed my classes. LIFE HAPPENS and they only care about your money. Not your education, NOTHING. HORRIBLE. I called and called, no answer. I had one teacher who wouldn't even LOOK at my homework just gave me an A. I even BS'd one once and he didn't know. Its a JOKE. You will get nothing out of it. GO TO A...
