Heritage College
My husband went to heritage and loved the school and the teachers and now he loves his new job that they helped him find right after he graduated! He also made a lot of friends that have done well and been successful too. I spent a lot of time at the school while he was working with career services and they always welcomed me and the kids too. The first person that he met with still sends him cards just to see how he is doing.
As a grad, I can tell you that these people don't mess around. The get you in, get you trained, and get you working.
I loved it that I didn't spend time studying stuff that doesn't apply to my career. There are no frills here. It's all business. They love their students, but they don't waste time on frivolous stuff like bigger colleges do.
They have great instructors who teach you everything you need to know to excel in your field.
My only real gripe was that my instructor left the school half way through my time. I can't really blame him because he had a great new opportunity, but it was unsettling for me to change in the middle. The new guy was good too, though, so things worked out fine.

The only reason I even gave this school was in order to publish this message. Otherwise it would get nothing.
If this place calls you or send you information, block them on your phone, and RUN away! Please do yourself a favor and don't waste your time. The accreditation on the bottom of their main screen is bogus, the school that I continued with, won't even accept my G.P.A from here. which was a 3.9. I graduated back in March 2011, completed my internship in May, and now in August still have yet to hear or read any information about the Certification Exam in order to be able to work. It would sadden me to see anyone else fall for their scam. Please if you hear nothing else.. RUN!!! AWAY!!!
The admissions people are all about numbers. They keep they're job based on how many people the can recruit into the school, so they lie. They told me they were only taking in new students in July, and I had to start about a month after my interview with the school, and that I had to enroll for this particular date or there was no other option. When I got to class my teacher said (and I also realized myself) that they start new classes and take in new students every six weeks. Hmmm....
They make you feel like you were accepted into a prestigious private college who only accepts a handful of students, when really they accept any and everyone.
I feel like I'm back in high school going here, a lot of the students are very immature, even though they're in their 20's-40's. Some of the teachers are alright, but I feel like I'm not getting an education that's worth $20,000 for 14 months. The staff will call you if you miss a day, asking 'how your education is going' and pretending like they care about our personal lives, when they're job is based
on how many students stay in the classroom each day.
I have tried to stay positive and find the good in this school, but it's getting harder to do so. I'm trying to decide whether or not I want to drop out and search for a better, more honest school, or just continue through it to get my license and certification and get out of this place into a real job where I'm not treated like a child and lied to.
I have completed their Pharmacy Technican Program and I LOVED IT! I had a great time going to school, getting the education I needed to excel in my position, and I was ALWAYS encouraged by my instructor and staff to do my best and don't doubt myself! I am walking away with several job offers and opportunities! I would highly recommend them! My hat is off to you! Kuddos many times over!
I received a quality facial and immediately booked another one. The student was helpful, recommending ways to keep my skin looking great. She took her time with me and I appreciated it. Not only was it relaxing, it was one of the best I have ever received.
I have always had a great experience at the college. Whether it is a facial or message, the students and staff and professional and knowledgeable about the services provided and will take the time to explore which facial service would be best for your skin type or which massage would be best for what you may need.\r

This school is a one stop shop for all types of beauty and spa services and should not be overlooked.
My wife went to this school a couple of years ago. She graduated with a degree in just 14 months, got a job immediately and has nothing but good things to say about Heritage.
I'm surprised to see some people griping about the school. I guess it's a squeaky wheel thing. The college has thousands of students and grads, so there are bound to be a few disgruntled complainers in the bunch.
Yes, college is expensive. Too expensive, if you ask me. But it really is the best investment you can make. And besides, Heritage is way cheaper than schools that have football teams. Plus, you can probably get financial aid. I'm still paying off my student loans, but I make a lot more money because I have a degree.
Anyway, sorry for the rant. Check it out for yourself.
Pros: Career Training That Leads to Jobs
Cons: No Football Team
Do Not attend this college. They are misleading, corrupt, and deceiving. They will take 20, 000 dollars from you and and give you a half baked ""education"". Where you spend your money is a representation of who you are. Do not give these people your money.
