I went to the school a few years back in 2016 I had a teacher named Mrs. Hoge who was absolutely horrible tried to make me look stupid in front of all the students all the time, anytime I had a question she spent a few seconds with me without explaining anything to me, it got to the point where I said screw this and I dropped out because they wouldn’t give me a new teacher! After telling them I felt harassed by their teacher.. I came to the campus today so that way I could look into giving them another chance and look into doing the LVN program and maybe even the medical assisting program again just to be told I have balance that I didn’t even know I had with them of almost $4,000!. Then they tell me I have to pay either half of it to do the MA course again or 5% of it if I do the LVN course and if I finish LVN they will dismiss whatever else is owed! First of all, you guys are lucky that I am even thinking about giving you a second chance after what happened. Second of all. I was never told that if I came back within the five years after dropping out, I can leave off where I left off, I found this out today!!!! This is unacceptable that u guys don’t tell student this. These courses are not cheap at all. To begin with when I first went to that school I didn’t even want to do medical assistant, the administrative assistant. Kept insisting and convincing me to do it. Also, I found out the pay for it after you graduated wasn’t even worth it. So a little advice if a student goes in there next time wanting to do a specific course. Don’t try to convince them to do some thing else it’s highly unprofessional plus u would think u would want more money. Personally, I don’t feel like I should have to pay back a dime of that after what was done to me! So maybe if you guys could work something out with me and dismissing wat I apparently owe completely! I will think about going to you guys and not concord college or somewhere else. If not I’m fine going somewhere else and giving THEM...

In all honesty, I can agree with many of the bad reviews on here, but not all instructors are bad. I will also say that some of the staff are actually trying to help the students get the best experience, but there is only so much they can do to help you out. This school is more about the politics rather than the actual education. I had like three instructors before getting the best instructor they can have. I never really learned to check a patient’s blood pressure until two modules before extern. Mind you, the weekend before I began my program I had cholecystectomy surgery done and I managed to drive myself there, and after letting them know I had it done they never told me there was an elevator and i kept going up the flight of stairs carrying a heavy backpack. Regardless of everything I went through I managed getting to class. I loved my experience on campus and I truly believed I had found my passion. It got to the point it felt like they were doing the most to drop me from my class, but I kept pushing and I got off SAP and manage to get to extern. Let’s just say that we were advised that once we were in extern we weren’t happy with the site to let them know and they would find something. It was all lies. I emailed them about me getting another site and finishing my extern, but coincidentally the person in charge was never in and in result they dropped me because I reached the allotted time to complete my program. Now I’m stuck with a loan...

I just recently graduated at ACC in their pharmacy technician program. The program is great BUT it does not cover a lot of things in the real world pharmacy job. The teachers there are very knowledgeable in their fields. They are great and willing to help you in passing your courses. The downside about the ACC is that once you are finish with the program you are not guaranteed a job. I have applied for many pharmacy techs position and won't take any recent graduates for jobs. Employers want 1-2 years experiences before hiring someone. You only get actually 6 months of in class experiences and 1-2 months of externship experiences. So your looking about 1-2 months total experiences of work during your externship which is not enough for employers to hire you. Several classmates of mine are also jobless and have yet to find jobs in the field. I feel that I should have did some more research on this school before going here. I now have my pharmacy technician license that is useless. It is now about 3 and going on to 4 months that I have been jobless. I recommend you DO YOUR RESEARCH before...
