Illinois Center For Broadcasting is an affiliate of the Ohio Center For Broadcasting. For more details, see their entry by searching for Ohio Center For Broadcasting. Everything that has been said there can be said for ICB as well, as they use the exact same playbook.
Basically their placement rate is grossly inflated... G-R-O-S-S-L-Y! They claim roughly 94%, every class that I was aware of was no more than 8-10% so why hasn't their average decreased?
They claim job placement assistance, another lie. But they will certainly take credit for your placement when you get off your ass and get the job on your own. After graduation, IF they send you job leads, they'll often send you job leads that you clearly don't qualify for in the industry (ex. Accountant, CEO etc) but they'll also try to persuade you to sign a waiver so you give up your rights to their placement assistance.
The equipment is old garbage, MOST of the teachers ARE NOT in the industry as they claim when you sign up and the certificate you receive at graduation is closer to being toilet paper than it is to being an Associates degree despite their claims otherwise!
The place is a complete scam.
Only 5 of my classmates got jobs... FIVE! Of 40 people in the class! Previous class, 4... FOUR! Later class, 3!
They tell people to not burn bridges in the industry as to frighten them from ever speaking out publicly against the school. I've spoken to several of my old classmates and they're all disgusted as well. Talk was rampant about filing a lawsuit but it never happened. There is another site sueeasy.com where you can find a class action form against the Centers For Broadcasting if you've already graduated and now realized that you've been bamboozled!
Bottom line: If you want to get into broadcasting, forget this joke, scam, ripoff of a "school" and get into a real program at a real college so you can get a real degree and get a real job! Don't even call this place for information, they absolutely will lie to you.
In the meantime, I'm deep in debt from student loans!
Thanks for nothing Illinois Center For Broadcasting!
