I wish I had found this website sooner. I thought I did my homework, but it's hard when your misled, and bold face lied to, to make an educated decision. I enrolled at the Phx Bryman school in May.
I was told by my admissions rep that my credits were transferable... Lie. I was told that the student instructer ratio was good... Lie. I was told this was an up to date course... Lie. One, the credits aren't transferable ANYWHERE. I was told i would have to retake the basic education courses at a local community college, at I might add at less than 1/2 the cost. They charge you more for those courses too. I basically took 6 months of useless classes.
I keep seeing new students packing into these classes, every 4 weeks, with older students graduating at a rate of every 4 months, you do the math. The classes were over sized, the parking lot a nightmare. And with most of the students fresh out of highschool, it was a conscious effort of putting up with immaturity and disrespect. The instructors must be used to this as they treat everybody with the same disdain as when dealing with a spoiled 12 year old. Most instructors only care in your passing, and break alot of rules to ensure their comission. And yes they do get one, only if the student completes a certain amount of time.
They teach the courses backwards. Why on earth would you start a student out with radiology 107 when they don't know jack about dental 101??? They teach them out of sequence, and the student flounders. Myself included I have witnessed many students in their first class freaking out and wondering how they will survive. If you can afford it, and your fresh out of high school, and only taking the diploma program, and the government is paying for you, this is the only way i can see how it would be beneficial to any student. IF you plan on continuing your education, waste of time. IF you plan on going on to a job fully educated, waste of time.
Your new employer, if you get a job, will have to train you intensively. I approached my dentist, months into my program and some of the techniques and products used in my courses were woefully outdated. These admission rep's are worse than used car sales men. It is almost impossible to fail, and at your expense, both financially and in a worthless education.
When I quit 6 months into my program, nobody seemed suprised, the financial department was speedy, had their paperwork in order for me to sign, and did so with a smile. I have been called twice and mailed a return payment envelope in less than 3 weeks to return their remaining $175.00. No call from my admit rep, no call from student services, no call from my core course instructor, no call from anybody except the collections department. I did comment on how they were so keen to getting their money, how shocking i found it that nobody wanted to know why I quit.
I'm now $6000.00 in dept for 6 months of nothing. They are raking in the dough, and it's no wonder you see so many Native American's as this is a cash cow to them. Please please, you are better off taking classes at your community college. This place is a joke, and the pathetic thing is my admissions rep knew i was in a locked income, married with 3 kids and couldn't afford much, and after all my questions, lied in my face and didn't bat an eye and while smiling had me sign the dotted line. And then lied about how much time i had to change my mind.
DO NOT COPY MY MISTAKE, but please learn from it. I thought I was making an educated decision, and doing the right thing for my family and future. Like I stated before, worse than used car sales men, they will tell you anything to get your money!
