For starters, instructors let you study for a couple hours the day of an exam before you take the exam. So gee I wonder why they have an 80% graduation rate? AIMS was one of the worst experiences of my life. This place is nothing more than a highly sophisticated racket. They do a horrifically poor job screening applicants to their programs. One program in particular specifies that you must have at least an Associate's Degree to enroll in it yet they've let in several students who did not have their Associate's Degrees. The classrooms are the size of a typical bathroom in a home and poorly temperature controlled. Administration literally does NOTHING to mediate or stop harassment from other students. If you go to lodge a complaint against a student who is harassing you then you are the one who is guilty because they find it thoroughly unacceptable for a student to speak up about anything. You will face retribution for it and you will either end up quitting the school, or never finding work. The administration is also terribly out of touch with social norms in America and it is an awful detriment. Ashni in admin was by far the worst. Cold-hearted and all around nasty to white people. I did not want to write this review but after discussing AIMS with several people in the area who work at doctor's offices that I just happened to meet and had similar experiences as did I, I felt compelled to so everybody knows what they are getting themselves into before they shell out thousands and thousands of dollars. Remember - the most troubling part is how they allow students to study for several hours before an exam. Is that somebody you want performing medical work on you? That is flat-out wrong and dishonest and I made sure to mention it to a pertinent individual from an influential accrediting association when I pulled her aside briefly in the hallway. I will never forget the look on her face to the day I die. Do yourself a favor, save thousands of dollars, the headaches, the harassment, and the disrespect and check out Middlesex county, Raritan Valley, and if you're close enough Jefferson U in...
Read moreI am a recent graduate of the Diagnostic Cardiac Sonography (DCS) Program. I've had an excellent experience at the AIMS Education Piscataway location. Every instructor has been patient, easy to understand and very helpful and truly shows their intent in the success of their students. The teacher to student ratio is comfortable, its a smaller classroom size which makes for communicating easier with your instructor and getting the extra help if needed. The material taught while in class was very helpful and applicable to what I would be doing in my field. Kalpana, the program director of DCS/CVT is the absolute best! She is truly an amazing woman, filled with so much knowledge and makes herself available to her students for further understanding of the material and/or scanning. The clinical coordinators are amazing at placing you in your internships and have been an intricate part of my success as well. Each person I've come into contact with at AIMS Education has been extremely supportive and vocally has shown that they want me to succeed. That type of support really makes a difference! Justine, the Director of Student Services is a powerhouse. She works so hard to setup job interviews and help with job placement. Her efforts are truly appreciated! As someone else stated the school definitely gives you the tools to succeed but ultimately you have to want it. I would absolutely recommend attending AIMS Education and have already to my family and friends. AIMS has upgraded my livelihood and I am so thankful I chose this school and was accepted. Due to hardwork, perseverance, lots of studying and truly loving my career path I passed my board exam and I now work Full-Time as an Echo Tech!...
Read moreI graduated from Aims Education almost 10 yrs back . I have a homeopathic medical background from India and after coming to US was lost as to what career to choose so that I could be in healthcare itself . Then I read an advertisement about the school in one of the magazine and got an appointment scheduled with the admission counselor , who introduce me to the director of the school. He convinced me how beneficial is the course for me and his words are so very true . The entire staff of the school is so very knowledgeable and helpful . The instructors have good subject knowledge . Along with their excellent skills of teaching they are very helpful too . Good hands on experience is given along with clinical rotations. The school makes a point that the students graduating from the school has good subject knowledge as well as good patient care knowledge and work ethics . So they don’t have any trouble in the field . And school also motivates and prepares their students to give their registry exams as soon as possible . Even after graduation or at job if any guidance is required the staff is always ready to help . The ultrasound department head herself makes a point that each and every student is up-to the point when graduating and she is always ready to help her students. I’m finding short of words to describe how good the school is . .In short this is an excellent school to choose your career. We relocated to Texas and Now I am working in two hospitals and mobile ultrasound company. I highly...
