The key question when dealing with any school. "Are you certified?" Not 'on our way' or 'not yet'. Let me see the certification. Any school that says 99% of students end up placed somewhere are not exactly lying either. Most people do get a job eventually (even if it is in fast food). The implication is the school helps out. Usually they do not and aim you at a website where it is all DIY.

Those words right there weeds out 99% of the crap. Yes, you can learn things at these schools. But the graduation paper is worth nothing because the rest of the industry has gone thru a lot of trouble making it so.

If you are looking to pick up a skill, and they are price competitive, they are an excellent way to come up to speed on something. If you are looking to get a degree thru them? Forget it.
