I have several friends attending this "for profit" school. Don't waste your time or money! The quality of instruction, is not worth the high prices. They have a few excellent instructors. However, most of the instructors are very unprofessional. Do your research before attending this "for profit " school.
The level of quality of the supplies they use to teach the students or even the quanity isn t enough for the price of their programs. The mannequins are all falling apart there s items missing. They don t have the right supplies so we have to use our imagination and classes are over crowded. I don t see how they can properly prepare us for the working environment when the education is compermised. The president and chancellors of the university should worry less about how much money is going in their pockets and worry more about the quality of education they are offering.
I would not recommend this school to any one. It might be a faster way to get a degree but with the headache that comes along with it is not worth it. Talking to the Student Services Coordinator Steve Ramirez is like talking to a child he knows nothing that can truly help you. That is if you can find him in his office.The finance department is just rude to say the least, they never truly answer your question or they are more likely to sending you over to another department which then send you back to them.The books you get are way over priced. When I say way over priced I am speaking about hundred dollars if not more. I personally did a price check on the books versus the book the school sells. One teacher did not have field related experience and he was teaching the class when that individual was replaced it was already to late for past students. I feel like if the Johnson took more time to talk to their students instead of doing what every they do about their feelings instead of them making them take a stupid survey that is not confidential like they say they would realize that their staff is rude and are setting student up for failure. The survey do NOT fix the issues student have made. Do NOT get me wrong their are some really good teacher and staff members but they are few in between the rude and horrible teachers and staff member. The best way I would describe this school in a glorified trade school.
Great, regionally accredited, many programs offered. Small classes. Fast paced. Why travel down below? No need to.
My favorite school. Best place to be for education!!!
I have went through the culinary arts program and I start the degree program soon. I feel like the culinary program should be longer due the the curriculum that we are expected to learn and how much we are paying for the program. I personally had two different chefs while attending and both taught in wildly different ways. not to mention the second chef came half way through the year. Half of the time certain equipment like the oven or the sinks wouldn't work or we couldn't use them. The vibe of the campus is very nice though. But if you are looking into going into culinary arts and you have the means to travel to another school i would advise you to look into it as we were not treated as well as the other certificate programs and the degree programs. The teachers try their best but they can only do so much with the state of the kitchens. I'm hoping that the degree program will be more structured.
I was able to get my BLS cert quickly easily. Super friendly people to work with. Thank you Joi
Love UAV and their apprentice chiefs. They always deliver an elegant experience.
I am a former employee of University of Antelope Valley. I worked in the Admissions Office and the Career Center. I know from experience that the owners, staff, and faculty genuinely care about the students, the community, education, and about the futures of the graduates.
I did very well in my EMT and enjoyed the experience. The class was well laid out and took the steps piece by piece. There were one or two people who couldn't keep the pace but a rigorous course isn't for everyone. I passed and went on to pass National as well. Now I'm just waiting for a job to come up and continue my career. Very good school. Great staff. Admissions can be a bit tricky but not impossible. Thank you to the teachers and staff. You guys rocked!
