Sanford Brown Institute In Atlanta Georgia
A grade student unemployed since graduating 6 months ago -job placement sucks

I, too, found out that SBI is a ripoff. They bring in recruits at least 25 every friday. It's like a 'baby making factory'.

I write this email to inform and hopefully forewarn those who are interested in going to Sanford Brown Institute in Atlanta Georgia that it is best to find another. Be sure that wherever you go, make sure you get all the information you need to confirm job placement. Ask them, what is the percentage of job placement? Ask them, are they required and can they guarantee? If not, do they have organizational links to doctors who will hire entry -level Medical Assistants.

I say all that because I should have asked. I should not have blindly trusted my life in their hands. That's my accountability in all of the despair resulting from my experience with SBI. I informed them from the very beginning that I am single and have no other income: and that I do not get out of work sometimes not until 6 pm and they say

They will work it out with me. Do you know they gave me the hardest time, i.E. Can not take tests crucial to improving grades, when I showed up 15 minutes late some days. (those 15 minutes effect their income) Of course, pleading with them all the way and informing them of my situation. I graduated as an A student and present over 98% and speeding to work to comply to their demands. I was required to finish course with 180 hours of externship within 1 1/2 months. So holding down my job (disgruntled w/me anyway from trying to leave early) and externship was not a possibility for me. I resigned from my job and went on externship. Do you know that they put me with a doctor who take on externs for
experience only. I received a rave review from the doctor, however, at the end of my term; she tellls me that she can not afford me. SBI knew this but failed to tell me or even give an alternative. End results, I ended up without no income and if they knew this, (that the doctor will not have a place for me) why is it that they were not prepared with a lead for job placement. I received no leads since October of have had three (3) career service coordinators since then and now on to my fourth coordinator; and still waiting for any lead at all. Also, mind you, I have kept in contact between finding temporary jobs such as call centers. If you don't contact them, they will not contact you. I know they are hoping I just go away.

I went to school to transfer my skills and improve my employability. That is a joke. Their job placement expertise is null and void. I am now out of work for the first time in over thirty (30) years of employment. It is obvious to me, if these career service coordinators can not find doctors who accept entry level Medical Assistants or a MA in my position, then they really do not have connection or poorly developed. I was told to go on craigslist. At SBI, there are no organizational links to specified doctors or medical centers who accept and encourage entry level medical assistants. They are not proactive in students concerns.

Of course, you might see it as my perception. Very well, you don't have to take my word for it. I just say BEWARE!!!

I say if I can just spare at least one of my sisters from a terrible and sad mistake, then I will
receive justice in all of this and at the same time do a good deed.

We're all God's children and I care and love you. I only want for you what I want for myself and that is to be treated as a human being.
