Well what can I say about this school. No complaints here. I would give it a 1,000 stars if possible. I was given the pleasure to work with some great people from Jose who is the Admissions Rep to Ms. Tamika who is in financial aid and Ms.Genevieve. These are all wonderful staff for this school. I have had the pleasure to get taught by Ms. Garcia, Dr. Khan, Ms. Rivera, Ms. Delgado, Ms. Ariano. Those are just to name a few. These lovely people are the best at what they do. If you are looking for a school to do short term but have a rewarding career this is the Go-To School. AMERICAN INSTITUTE CLIFTON CAMPUS

I am beyond grateful to have had Terry guiding me through the admissions process at the American Institute. From our very first interaction, it was clear that she is not only incredibly knowledgeable but also truly passionate about helping students succeed. Terry took the time to understand my goals and aspirations, providing personalized guidance every step of the way. Her warmth and encouragement made what could have been a stressful experience feel seamless and even enjoyable. She answered all my questions with patience and clarity, ensuring I felt confident in every decision I made. What truly sets Terry apart is her genuine commitment to her students. She goes above and beyond to ensure that everyone feels supported and valued. Her positive energy is contagious, and her belief in my potential gave me the motivation I needed to pursue my dreams. Thanks to Terry’s remarkable assistance, I am thrilled to say that I have been accepted into the school! I cannot thank her enough for her hard work and dedication. If you have the opportunity to work with her, consider yourself lucky. She is a true gem in the admissions team!
