I'm going to Allied Health Institute Online and it is a great school. I've been going there for four months now and never had a problem. The addmission rep I had was very nice and caring. When I had to take the entrance exam she told me I could do it and that she had faith in me. I'm taking ther Medical Assistant class and love it. The teachers that I had so far until now are wonderful and they know what they are teaching. If you have questions, they answer you. Course work was awesome could not ask for anything better. I have postive classmates and professor interactions. I give this school an A+++++++

I started Allied School in July 2010 for Medical Coding and Billing, Everything seemed ok for the first part of the corse, medical terminology, but when i called for help duriing the second corse, I couldnt get any of the student services to help me with questions I had reguarding some of the answers on the test, some of the test questions had wrong answers and I had to bring it to their attention, I talked with several student services people whom I felt where abit cold and had no people skills. I coulnt recieve any encouragement when i was discouraged, This was my reason for quitting the course, I did have an expectation due to them telling me in emails and their website that they would support me and help me.I feel all i got was the run around.

They Default on there contracts and k...

School not recommended by Tee Cooley on September 08, 2010

This school is breaking the law and should have a class act law suit against them. Although a class act only pay's pennys to the dollar back to you where a civil or small clams will get you the full amount and damages.

I signed up for computor and law courses, I had to go in for 4 surgerys and asked them if I could put the class's on hold, they said yes, I asked how long will I be allowed to put them on hole they said as long as you need, there is no time limit.

I called back a little over a year later (after they had all my money in full for the courses) and told them I was in the last surgery and wanted to make sure everything was in place and all my material was up to date. They said that they no longer offer the Law courses I signed up for and that there was nothing they could do as far a giving my money back to me so I could attented another school for Law, I called several times Mad as could be, but they ignored my calls like I didnt matter.

They defaulted on the contract by not having what I paid for so legal they "Have" to reimburst me my money. So I am starting a law suit against them for "ALL" my money back plus damages for the waste of time to go to court and them with holding my funds, but the emotional grief they caused me while I was undergoing surgery.

To have to worry about my future and my schooling and money makes it hard and stressful to recover from a vastive surgery. The councilors are not professors they are just people that graduated from there school and they gave them a job to make it look like they have a great success rate for graduates to go on to a career.

The charge 3 times the normal amount for any materils or computors they send you and books. This school is a rip off and I will be taking them to court.....Check your other options, dont let them have your money, no one recognizes students that graduate from there anyways as far as a good college in order to hire you for a job. Good luck and God Bless....Sista Tee

I was a fool to go to Allied

I stared Allied in Aug. of 07, for med. assisting. I already have a BA, but I wanted to do something in med. I have a lot to say about this school, and it would take me a long time to type it all out. I hate this school, it is crap. All they care about is money, money, money.

They do not care about the students at all. The student relations people do not respect confidential talks what so ever. I went in to talk to them about pushing my externship back because I was pregnant and did not think I would be able to do the externship at that time. I asked her not to tell anybody that I was pregnant, but right after I left, she sent an email out to the whole staff letting them know my personal medical info. The school knew before my family did.

Not only that, the only way I would be able to push the externship back until after the baby was born was to take time off from school while I was first pregnant, go back when I was 8 months, and then have the baby, and do the externship after that. Oh and because I had to take that time off in the first place, I would have to pay more money if I wanted to come back after the baby was born and do the externship.

I never got to go back, because I was not able to pay more, and I could not work for free for 6 weeks after I had the baby. Also, I had two teachers, for my main classes. Both were med. asst. before they came there. The first teacher was fired from her teaching job, because she was not teaching us anything.

We had not leanred half of what we needed to know, and the half we had learned was wrong. The new teacher had to go over everything thing again. As a matter of fact, she was the only person that was good about that school. And if for some reason she is reading this, I know you know who I am and who you are, I do not know why you are there. You are so much better than that place. I hope you have a new job, because you are to good to be there.

Anyway, do not go to Allied, go to a community college. You will get a better edu, that you can transfer to anywhere. And they care about students, and you won't be broke when you are done.
