Downey adult school career and education center Reviews

Was interested in taking a Tai-Chi class and an English class but was not sure what exact English class I wanted to take so I walked in to the main office with no appointment and the front clerk was more than happy to help me out. I explained what kind of class I was looking to take. She suggested a few and I was able to pick the one I thought was best for me. Thank you Amalia Gonzalez for helping me enroll to D.A.S. and for helping me sign up for my classes. I appreciated the help.

This school is great. I have Mr.page and he is a great instructor. Mr Morales is also great at teaching medical terminology he helps his students. I love Mrs.Talamentes

The staff at Downey Adult School care about their students' successes and are willing to go the extra mile to enable them to do so. Just when I thought there were times when I wouldn't be able to do something because I was homeless, or because I was a single mom and struggling, the faculty at Downey Adult School extended helping hands to get me through to my diploma. You can do it!

I come here twice a month to swap out construction bins full of recycling materials. I get so much help from office staff it truly makes my pick ups a breeze.

Great place and great people.

Great Massage Therapy program and awesome teacher. I recommend it to those who want to learn something new and at the same time is very rewarding. Check out the next orientation and give it a try. You will love it. They have morning class and evening class .

This is in regards to the Massage Therapy program with Mr. Monte. It has been one of the best school-learning experiences I've ever had. The class itself is 30% book work & 70% if not 80% hands on! There is lots of learning but as long as you come to class and complete your work you will LEARN!!! Highly recommend this program thanks Monte for making this an awesome and joyful experience

DAS is the window for success
I learn to earn the possibility for
My future DAS.

From reviews its hit or miss but my experience was this I took the required orientation in February I went in person to sign up for the class didn't get any warnings that FAFSA appointments can take more than a month which by that time I found out I didn't qualify for it even being unemployed because of the pandemic (because you can make too much from the pandemic assistance). The class started August 24 and I started receiving payment due notices on September 18. Once I had my FAFSA appointment and looked at my options I decided to drop. FAFSA appointments should be required before the class for these exact reasons. I sent in the required documents to their FAFSA person and never heard back even after I dropped so I guess I know their stance. Recently received a bill notice and was waiting for the refund form which I had to email them about. Lastly their course overview doesn't state where I have to go to drop so I emailed the program coordinator just to be told a week later (though my fault since somehow I mixed the emails up) that I had to tell the professor and only he could drop me and was dropped from the date I emailed him so tack on an extra week that could have been avoided if they were more thorough. [Can't even get a better education during a pandemic, sad] but overall the class itself is fairly easy if you put the work in but thats only speaking from being in the class about a month and a half (Medical Billing and coding) the bill I received is for $499.86 but the payment plan shows per month they want $388.78 so I would be really interested in the cost breakdown. 10/15/20
