I am close to graduating from the massage program here. I can’t speak to other programs, but do not go to school here if you hope to obtain a quality education that prepares you for a career in massage. The people at this school mean well, but the program itself is a disorganized mess. I have spent $17,000 spending $287 a month to attend this program. I have made sacrifices to be able to go to school in an attempt to better myself and improve my life. With the insane amount of money I’m spending to where I can barely make rent and feed myself, I expected a hands on program that would help me develop skills as a massage therapist. After six months, we have done very little hands on learning at all. Instead, it is a lot of sitting around in class or listening to random lessons that seem to have no relation to what we are supposed to be learning in class. Instructors do not show us any landmarks or techniques while we are working hands on, it is a lot of figuring it out yourself. There is no rhyme or reason to anything being taught. I have spent valuable time in class watching long videos ranging from dolphins, people floating in pools, and even full length early 2000s movies instead of massaging or studying. This program is a money grab. There is only one person that adds value to this program and she is doing everything. It is too much for one person. We are not learning how to be massage therapists in this program period. My only hope at this point is that I will be able to study enough on my own to pass the licensing exam. And then make up for the astronomical gaps in my education through continuing education and training that I will be pursuing for myself. Very very disappointed. And upset that I buried myself in debt for next to nothing. This program has taken much and given so little. Do not go here.

I took the EMT program that ran from November of 2023 to February 2024, I LOVED it. Everyone at this campus made me feel so welcomed and it became like a second home after a couple weeks of being in classes 12 hours a day. I loved my instructor his name was Jeff, and I cannot say enough positive things about him. There were about 16 students in my class and we had a lot of hands on time. The way the class was set up was super easy to follow and I never felt stupid asking questions. All the instructors here just want to see you grow and understand the materials. I am actually considering enrolling in the paramedic class.

Hello my name is Shelley Girard (Belinc), I attended the Medical Billing and Administration Program (2011-2012, Southgate location). All the teachers were Fantastic. My favorites were Mr. Pope and Mrs. B. But, everyone that was there, was so helpful in every part of the schooling.
