Was not happy with this school. Materials are extremely outdated. This is extremely problematic. Say you want to study technological repair. How is the degree effective if the coursework relates to outdated tools and equipment. After graduating, no employer is going to take a degree from this school very seriously. This school does not prepare you for the real world. Go ahead and interview potential employers of the field you are interested in, and ask them whether they would recommend this school. They will say "no".

With many of these careers, you need a lot of hands on training which they do not provide. Buy a book at the store about the potential career of your choice, and you will learn more. At least the book will be up to date.

Also, you enter a contract for a specific degree, and once you enter the contract there is no backing out. You can't change your program, and you can't get your money back, even if you haven't actually started your classes yet. All you will get out of this "school" is outdated materials, instructors that won't assist you, no information or feedback, and a degree that will get you no where.
