I was lied to from the day I spoke with Chasity Perry (placement coordinator)
I called about the LPN courses looking to see what schools were offering and which will be best for me.Well I was told that the MOA was the same as LPN but better,unlike LPN I am able to work in hospital settings due to me having backoffice experience. I met with her and tested and she was explaining how accredited that they were and how they were affiliated with Washington University and I could transfer my credits. Aug 2004 I enrolled in MOA .

Now these are ten week courses with a time consuming and money grabbing course squeezed in between every Wed in which it was designed to help us prepare and be ready to SELL OURSELVES , what a joke. Well 1st ten weeks was basic terminolgy and the teacher that we had was new and as fast as she came in as fast as she left. Well fired due to not TEACHING but giving us the answers , not using the books and oh yeah giving as the test questions the day before word-for-word question-by question. Her main objective was her smoke break.

Next ten weeks we were in Courtney class billing and coding I and it was alot of drama. From students and teachers wanting to fight and car tires getting slashed . In this class it was nothing but parting all night loud talking all we were missing was music and booze. She was fired.

Next ten weeks Carol and all she did was eat and we were in Medical Math did not open a book use a ruler calculator or anything we only covered roman numerals and some fractions all that were on copied paper.Then she quit and went to another school.

We had employees' who were stealing money from the loans and school was Mon-Fri but we tested Thurs and don't come Fri. Job placement coordinator was hired fired and quit so many times we did not get to get any job placement everytime we set up a file we have to do it over. We changed coordinators like we changed teachers.When we did get a call for a job placement it was for FED-X and UPS. They had job fairs not for nusing all the jobs were not for nursing. So why have a nursing department. I had ordered uniforms that were entirely too big and they did not exchange said I was stuck with them. Then the course that we had to take every Wed that we were charged for we did not ever open the book we were to take notes word-for-word then every like 3rd Wed we take a test with the notes that we took from overhead.

I don't feel that I got the Education that $20,000+ in loans went towards. Every teacher was fired ,in exception to A. Johnson, due to not teaching or complying with Co policy.Books that I was charged for in several of my classes that I did not even open and I was charged for them.Then I graduated and took the Associates and we did not have any supplies we needed we were limited with everything. We were to have a blood drive and that was a no go. It was a scam and they got me good. I was promise to make so much and I make more as a CNA than a MA. I have a degree and credits I can't use.

Hello all. It sounds like Vatterott went down the tubes. I am a former student and have an Associates in Computer Technology from there. I will attest that while most of the time the teachers would read out of the book i did have a controlled atmosphere in which to learn. I attended the Saint Ann campus and graduated in 2003. I will also attest that when we had to start taking the general education courses that they were a joke. They just started that halfway through my education there. It was a real joke. I did learn alot while attending this school and we did use our books. I graduated with a 3.7 gpa and now have a great job which pays alot. I dont owe anything to Vaterott for this. IT was all up to me. As someone who wants to earn high pay you have to take it into your own hands. The job placement thing that they advertised was non existant. They talked about it but never came up with anything. I already had a better paying job than my teachers and made more im sure. What im saying is noone can promise you a job and noone can tell you what it will be like in the real world you have to work for it. Have a plan and use the education as a stepping stone towards something better. The schools expectations of pay after graduation are highly inflated to say the least. Im not sure where they get the figures but it must be based on the national average. Also you cannot transfer your credits to any other college so you are pretty much screwed into going backt o Vatterott for additional degrees. The cost is very high and not worth it in my book. I want to continue my education but i will most likely have to start over from scratch. The diploma is the cheesiest one i have ever seen. I could have made a better one on my home computer. For 35K + in loans i should at least get something on parchment paper instead of a word document in multiple colors printed on copy paper. I would ask myself " Do i want to work hard and get a good degree that can be used for less money or pay out the @ss for something that may not take as long but will be worthless in the long run. Dont WASTE your money on this school.

I feel liked I've been robbed of money I don't have by Vatterott

AUTHOR: Naomi - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Saturday, January 12, 2008

I was promised job placement and assistance and did not get it and the jobs I had that I was tring to get away from were the one's they were sending me to and making just about $8 if I was lucky. So I found my own and they were tryng to get credit from them due to I was 1 of the only girls in my class working.

All they helped me do was accumulate a bill. And my loans are now in Forebarence due to me having a hardship . I was to grow but all I did was fall I lost my car and home trying to find my way through this struggle.

Now I am trying to go for my RN in which I already spent 2yrs at Vatterott getting my Associates and I have to start completly over due to my course credit hours. Where's my assistance when I need it.
