Training to You

I took the PMP class with this school using GI Bill. I felt like I only benefited slightly by taking course versus just reading text myself. Unfortunately most veterans go here to use GI Bill for housing allowance payment. Most don’t even take the certification test after class and just enroll in another program here. That isn’t the schools fault just an annoyance on abuse of Veterans.
During my time here, a 3 month course, we went through 3 instructors. All naturally having different approaches and opinions. The weekly test was just the end of chapter test. You can easily pass this class because all questions come from the book and you can just take the tests before class so you are familiar with answers. Final exam, also from the book.
In the end only the student can dedicate themselves to have confidence to take PMI’s certification exam. The school can make you think you are ready but the test is a real wake up call. Be sure to study multiple sources and take every practice exam you can find online for free. Take this class of you don’t have the discipline to study on your own. I passed PMP exam on first try but didn’t feel like the school prepared me enough.

I have to say, for an institution saying that they help veterans, I would stay away from this place like the plague. I took their Microsoft Office Professional Course in July 2012, worse mistake of my life. Apparently since there is no accountability for hours or payments. I to this day, September 2014 am still fighting the VA over supposed over payments and tuition and fees. Apparently between July 2012 and October 2012 the VA over paid me $ 2,054.67 in tuition and fees, which I never saw a dime of because it went directly to the school. AND, now apparently I was overpaid $ 1,978.67 for the same period for housing, books and supplies. So lets recap, in total, VA claims I was paid an ADDITIONAL $ 4,033.34 for the period between July 2012 and October 2012. And of course, I can’t get a straight answer from anyone at TTY, call for weeks and e-​mail and no reply. I was told mid August 2014 that the last over charge of $ 1,978.67 would be taken care of and paid for. Nothing. I call and e-​mail for weeks and nothing and finally I get ahold of someone today, and was told, there was a problem. Wonder why I was contacted for the last 4 weeks about this «problem» until I call and e-​mail them last week and this week, after getting another letter from the VA saying they’ve already begun garnishing my benefits from another school I’m currently attending. Two god damn years, and I’m still dealing with this issue. Stay away from this place period, especially if you’re a veteran. It’s great when the rep today says, they were never paid at all for the MS course I took yet I already paid $ 2,054.67 in tuition and fees for a course they were never paid for. Well, hell I guess that payment check fell into the same box as those dam grid squares.

This is a great place if you’re looking to enhance skills in Microsoft Office, Photoshop, etc. My consultant is Nick and he’s very friendly, helpful, and accessible.

I attended a week long Salesforce training session at this location. Staff was nice. Class was small, which was choice. The instructor was independent, contracted through Salesforce. The first two days of class, we had a bucket of juices offered in the back of the class room. I wondered why there was no water included and why the bucket disappeared after day two. There were always bagels and fruit offered in reception but I was never offered any and didn’t know if they were available to us. The receptionist brought in cookies, every day at 2pm. The instructor eventually told us that we could get water and soda out of the cooler in the hallway. That was a saving grace since we were stuck in this dark room for intense training all day long.
Location is good and they have plenty of parking. I attended in the peak of summer heat in Arizona and was cool and comfy all day.

I’d have to say TTY has been a good experience. The instructors have been super helpful. They do what they can to motivate you to keep coming to class and keep going. I read the previous review, and I disagree. I came here on my own free will and was not pressured to start. I passed my A+ and Network+ with their help and have been working on my CCNA. A lot of people here have told me this place has helped them too. I remember when I first showed up and got right to work. They provided me all the tools that I needed to get moving. If you want to speak to someone there, ask to speak to Hiro (instructor) or Gabe (instructor), they both have real life experience in the IT industry. Both can walk you through understanding anything you need.
