I recently attended this school and I left having very mixed views of the place. Let me get the good out the way because there is definitely alot there. Bill who is an level 1 instructor is the best as it gets. He's not only knowledgeable about his trade and craft, but he's a real people person. I came up to the school literally not knowing anything about the construction business and he took his time to make sure I understood everything that was being taught. I can't say enough about Bill and all that he does for the school. In my opinion he's the reason why things run smoothly at the school. Jim and Craig who are level 2 instructors are phenomenal as well, they really see to it that you maximize your efforts and potential during the back half of the training. The instructors are tremendous at what they do. Kevin who also works there is as nice as it comes, really pleasant person to talk to and understand things from a different perspective at being an operator. Brian and Ken were two people who I spoke to often and were beyond nice, and definitely deserve a recognition for their efforts in getting students prepared after the school ends. I'm sure I'm missing some people who were also very nice and easy to communicate with, for that I am sorry but you know who you are and I appre your support while I was there. OK, I got that out the way, the negatives, where do I begin? I'll start with the owner of the school, he comes across as very arrogant, mean, someone who's the smartest person in the room, confrontational, inappropriate, aggressive and steals Valor. When confronted with why his school was allegedly being dropped by the VA, he was very confrontational, demonstrative and belligerent. Digging in your pants while addressing the people who not attend your school but paid for it with their VA benefits comes across as disrespectful. He wants you to think that he's doing all these wonderful things for you such as your lunch while your there and the very disgusting motel you stay at while attending the school, news flash, you haven't done anything and it's extremely disrespectful to take valor for something that veterans work their asses off for. You feed us? You house us? Stop the lies, the last time I checked the yellow pages I didn't find you under p for philanthropist. The VA paid you exactly what you told them it would cost to send a veteran here to learn from your school. He could of said he didn't like the Mets because he was a Yankees fan, he could of said he didn't like NYC because he repped bean town, but to say you feed us?? You house us?? Is a complete slap in the face to anyone who's ever served this great nation. I asked to speak with him in private to discuss some of these matters and he blatantly shrugged me off. It became apparent that the students who attend his school are nothing more than cash cows to him, he could care less about your opinions or concerns. So I said all of that to say, if you want strong direction from your instructors it'd be hard to find people better than Bill, Jim and Craig, and in the same breath if you want to be disrespected, and deal with semantics that you don't need in your life also go to this school because you'll get more than you bargained for. Their is alot more that I can say, but Ill leave it at that.
