Review content:
CPC is accredited but anyone looking into college accreditation, particularly for private tech colleges, will have learned that it is best to start&finish in their programs. That?s not unique to CPC. ""Real"" private colleges have similar issues w/ courses transferring to a state university. Folks that are complaining about this may not be familiar w/ traditional universities. Complaints about classrooms (run down, smell, people walking in&out) I agree could be a problem&should be reported when possible. Maybe they will have a owned campus one day,but this could impact costs so complainers should keep that in mind. If testing I would complain&move right then&there. It is your education&potential career. Take the outcome into your hands&stop complaining! Ultimately any college/tech training programs U will only get out of it what U put into it. When I see posts about parking, drugs, sex, skanky girls jibber-jabbering in the back of class&disrupting things...all sounds like what I experienced off&on while attending traditional universities so this isn?t unique. Get over it/work around it/report it constructively&focus on what U need to do. The admissions process was informative, in part because I EDUCATED MYSELF on the school&their programs before going in. As an adult it's your responsibility, not theirs. No one can force U to sign up or take financial aide for school or daycare. That is ridiculous. Complaints about cost are unfair in my opinion. U always have options-go to Community College or another tech school if U choose. U may not like your options but U have them.U are paying a premium in tuition for a couple reasons-the time frame to finish is accelerated to put U in a position of employability as soon as possible.This is valuable for many. Taking the similar programs via traditional colleges would typically take longer. It is also a ""private"" school. They ALWAYS cost more. Regarding job placement leads-they cannot&do not promise U a great job, or any job. That is UP TO YOU. They offer U leads. There may be limited openings at the locations that have provided leads to CPC so there will be more people competing. That's life.U have to equip yourself w/knowledge&a good attitude to increase your chances of being the best candidate. And remember that right out of any program U are starting at entry level. It goes up from there typically depending on your work ethic&attitude. Once U get into the work place it matters little WHERE U went to school. It matters more THAT U went, did well, completed it, etc. Once hired it is up to U to display qualities of a good employee. Take pride in your educational efforts regardless of where U went. And strive to be a life long student. Work on always learning more about your chosen field. This is key. U know if U worked hard or not. If those around U don't, believe me that 9 times out of 10, it will prove out in the end when they are unable to keep jobs&constantly burn bridges behind them w/every job they are lucky enough to get. And EVERY orientation day at every school or job I've had could be described as a bunch of people coming in to tell U what&how to do stuff. That's the point. Suffer through&make it to day 2. I have gone to school or training of some sort for the past 22 years (not including grammar&High School)&have earned an Associates, Bachelor's&MBA along w/several industry IT certifications all thru non-traditional college attendance (working full time, going to school at night, weekends, etc.)&it takes work, suffering thru mediocre instructors at times, annoying classmates, etc. But it isn't about them....it?s about YOU. Make it count.
