I am currently a student at Everest in the MIBC program in Oregon, and I must say there are some problems but none compared to what's been said on here.
Yes, there are some students that get on my nerves. But, there will always be people that get on your nerves wherever you go. Right?
And yes, some teachers are more into teaching than others. This is a "college" level school. It's not high school. They expect you to do your work and take some responsibility. They are not babysitters.I am only in my second month. My teacher for this month is different than the teacher I had last month. These two teachers are so different in their styles but that's ok. One is more relaxed than the other, but they still care about whether you do well or not. The one that's more relaxed doesn't harp on you about your homework and gives a lot of time in class to work on your homework and study for tests. She is more into you doing the work for you, not standing in front of the class lecturing all day.
The last teacher I had was the opposite. Most of the class was lecture and we had about a half hour to work on homework and study.It really depends on where you go to school and who your teacher is. There are some things you will like and some things you won't. It's like that with ANY school. Not just Everest. And just cause you have a bad experience doesn't mean ALL Everest Institutes are like that. So far I am liking the program and don't feel it's a waste of money. I don't think every Everest is going to have a teacher that talks about smoking pot all day. True, she shouldn't be a teacher, but instead of complaining about it on here, go to the board and take care of it there. Keep going up until that teacher loses her job. We can't help you here.
I just feel that unless you have gone to 100 Everest Institutes you can't say they are all bad. Cause they aren't. You are going to come across teachers you don't like in Universities and Community Colleges as well. It's just a fact of life, so deal with it and stop complaining. Do your work, take your tests, ignore the people who drag you down and just get it done.

I am an everest student and the school is all about you catching on. If you are simple, yes it will suck. the school is what YOU make of it. It is definately NOT for simple simons it is for intelligent people that can catch on.

I AGREE WITH EVERYONE I GRADUATED ON PRESIDENTS LIST JUST BECAUSE I SHOWED UP HALF THE TIME WE NEVER HAD A TEACHER AND WHEN WE FINALLY GOT ONE SHE KNEW NOTHING ABOUT MASSAGE THERAPHY AT ALL. MY WHOLE CLASS GOT STUCK AND SCREWED AND NOBODY CAN PASS THE CERTIFIED EXAM THAT THE STATE REQUIRES YOU TO TAKE. PLEASE PLEAS PLEASE DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY I AM STUCK WITH FIFTEEN GRAND WITH SALLIE MAE AND NO MASSAGE JOB IN MY FUTURE TO HELP ME PAY IT OFF. DO NOT GO TO THIS COLLEGE YOU WOULD BE BETTER OFF BUYING BOOKS AND TEACHING YOURSELF. PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD ABOUT HOW HORRIBLE THIS SCHOOL IS. ALL THE BEST TO EVERYONE TONI

I am a current student with Everest in Eagan, MN and all I have to say about the negatives with this school is that it depends on your instructor and your location. My instructor is just that, an instructor, she has 10+ years worth of experience in the field that she is teaching, and the same goes for our lead instructor. They educate us exactly on what we need to know and learn, we practice the work we will be doing in the work feild in our class room. Every person on the staff does what they can to help and assist struggling students, I am doing great and am picking it all up fast.
I have tried the community college route and it wasn't for me, I also looked in to ComputerTraining.com, and if you want bad reviews search them up in google.
Everest is right for a lot of people and not right for some. If you are hands on and know a little about what you are interested in then go for it. The job placement rate is fantastic and I am looking forward to becoming a Pharmacy Tech and graduating with my head held high at graduation.Was this review useful to you?

I am a wannabe MA student. I have done accounting for 12 years and I am looking to make a career change. I visited the campus, did the tour and chatted with some of the staff. They made me feel really welcome and all were very pleasant to talk to. I left excited and gunhoe about proceeding with my career change at Everest.
A girl friend of mine suggested that I do some research before I made my actual decsion. Well, I did and the reviews are terrible. I am not comfortable spending $15,000.00, taking a $10.00 an hour paycut to find out that these reviews are acurate and true.
I thought to myself that maybe the people who are writing the terrible reviews are terrible students but there are so many terrible reviews all similar in a way that I find that hard to believe also. I am truley crushed that what I thought was going to be so great doesn't seem to be.
I am asking That if you have good reviews for this school and positive experiences and final outcomes to please post POSITEVE FEEDBACK!
Thank you for taking the time to read:-)

i agree with jill. i also attend everest and this school is a joke!they do not get you prepared for the state exam and my teacher has told us that. you have to go out and buy a prep book fir 70 plus and learn on your own. these teachers do not care about teaching us, they just make us pass their tests by giving us exactly what will be on the test. they just want to get paid. this is not a school it is a business. i hope no one decides to go to everest. go to your local community col. they offer programs and are much cheaper, but take a little longer. DO NOT GO TO EVEREST!!!! biggest waste of money i have ever spent. =(

Everest Institute is the worst school out there and I hope you all do your research before dropping 15 grand on this bull crap so called school. I currently attend everest and i am in my 5th month. I am on the presidents list and i do very well learning ON MY OWN! The teachers do not care about you or your success. we basically sit around ALL DAY while most of the class is talking, sleeping or arguing with eachother. The teacher does not punish anyone for their behavior and my teacher talkis crap about other students all day when they are not around. My teacher graduated from everest in 2006 and has never has a medical assisting job and is very open about that. She tells us on a daily basis that she wants to quit. she spends her day talking about smoking pot and saying that she wished she had a blunt. this school is the biggest mistake of my like and im paying 15 grand for it. so do your research before you decide to go to everest. WORST SCHOOL EVER!!!!!
