This is great if you are working in the healthcare field and have several years experience in patient care. I would not recommend this to someone fresh out of school without any experience.

I completed the certificate program for Respiratory Therapy in 1991 through CCHS, now called IU. The monthly payments were very affordable, and I got my clinical hours completed at the hospital I was working at as a student (Valley Baptist Medical Center in Harlingen, Texas). I got paid while I was completing my clinical hours, and continued to work as an RCP I, then RCP II at the same hospital. I was able to get phone support when I was studying for my finals. I spent a lot of time on the phone getting questions answered, so the support was definitely there. I would not have gotten credentialed if it were not for CCHS. My written final was proctored by the priest at the hospital where I worked, and the college sent a therapist to check me off on all of the modalities, which I passed the first time.I was really sweating, really nervous, but I passed no problems. I recommend this school.

This college has no log in classes, nothing but books and emails. It requires that you find a place to do your clinical rotations and that is difficult with all the liabilities involved. Basically, in this program it's like going to the book store purchasing all the books you need and then teaching yourself all you can from the books.
