Summit College - San Bernardino Campus — Local services in San Bernardino

I attended this place back in 1997 in their Graphic Design class. The 3D modeling portion of the course was useless. It was like teaching someone to draw using crayons. The program wasn't even an industry program. I learned useful programs like Photoshop, but they didn't teach the industry standard Adobe Illustrator. Instead we used Corel Draw ... which hardly nobody in the industry uses. We learned how to use Quark but now nobody uses that either.

It would be an interesting coincidence to mention that the spell checker in Microsoft office likes to replace Summit Career College with the word "Scam". If you are going to that school, try it. Kind of entertaining and telling, don't you think?

Their career center is pathetic and useless other than being able to use their computers and fax. Their guidance counselors did nothing to help us find jobs as promised.

Our externships were ruined by the school changing how it did things midterm and doing an internship print class that basically sat around and played on the computer all day and did nothing for several weeks. I had a chance for an externship at ILM and they screwed that up because they wouldn't help me with the paperwork after I was PROMISED help with externship paperwork. So much for an amazing career right?

The great instructor that we started out with (the school made him made and chased him off) was traded out from some cocky self absorbed douchebag who thought very highly of himself, yet failed to produce any artwork that would impress me. He knew little to nothing of 3D design either. The last month of that class was wasted watching him wildly click around the screen trying to figure out how the 3D program worked ..... greaaaaaat. On his first day when we asked to see his website so we could see some of his designs, he refused and said it would just discourage us from moving forward. I managed to google the clown up and found that he was a pretty low level designer with no real talent, or history.

After going to additional real colleges and learning some more programs, I managed to become an art director for a large graphics company. Very little...

In general, this college was extremely unorganized and unprofessional. Every single meeting/ appointment planned before classes started ended up beginning 30min-1.5 hours late. It felt like a huge waste of time to get to any appointment on time. The first day of class, our instructor arrived and hour and a half late and class starts at 8am so I could’ve easily gone to eat breakfast somewhere. Apparently she hadn’t been notified of her start date until the week before so she had a night shift the she couldn’t call off and made it to class with no sleep. On top of the lateness, all of our orientation paperwork was lost so we had to resign and refill out everything (including sensitive information like social security numbers) so it felt very uncomfortable to know that those papers were lost somewhere. Paperwork was constantly misplaced. Our final state exam date wasn’t communicated to us until it was about 3 weeks before the exam so if you had plans during that time, you either had to reschedule it yourself or cancel your plans. In the end, it was supposed to be one day and ended up being rescheduled to a different day because of lack of organization so just another example of being unprofessional. Our instructor was not trained in teaching CNAs and was not properly prepared in the material for the state exam however she did do the best she could. At the same time, though, I did feel like a lot of time was wasted in class due to being off topic and having no planned activities. There was a lot of unused time and space in the classroom and I felt like I could’ve learned everything online with the amount of time wasted. The organization of the nursing school (but more specifically the CnA program) was far below expectations. If I were you, I would gladly take my money...

Here’s my honest opinion about this school…it’s a good school as far as your time there, the cleanliness, the teachers, administrators are all amazing. My instructor was AMAZING this review has NOTHING to do with Mrs.Moor ! She’s amazing, I graduated with honors and if it wasn’t for her teaching me the way I needed to learn I wouldn’t have gotten through most of it ! She’s very polite and accepting of EVERYONE and that’s what I love about her the most. This review has EVERYTHING to do with the school! after the program has finished and you have graduated that you’ll find yourself having a hard time finding work as a New Grad if you don’t get hired from your Externship or know someone that’s already in the field of choice to put in a good word for you. I chose to be a medical assistant and knew I’d have a difficult time finding work because most place want a few years of experience, but my main problem has been not being able to speak Spanish. A few of my classmates are having the same issue. We’ve spent a lot of time doing blood draw and we didn’t get certified in phlebotomy, and that should be apart of the program because that’s another BIG REASON why getting a call back is hard. We’ve spent all this time, energy and money to get sent out just to still need some certificates to even consider hiring you as a new grad. There’s schools that offer 3-1 EKG, Medical Assistant and Phlebotomy for less & I didn’t know that . Please do your research on your before you make a decision to come to this school. I have to pay an extra $1,000 for EKG cert. $2000 for Phlebotomy & $150-200 for my CCMA .. It’s depressing, when you really want something and the goal post keeps moving. Please please please , choose wisely. It’s hard out here for a...
