I visited this school this week to inquire about the dental assistant program. Prior to my visit I downloaded the school catalog which contains admissions info, course descriptions, & tuition prices. For the dental assistant program it calls for a total of $7200 a total of 900 hours including internship. When I arrived at the school to discuss about their program the program director "Luis Diaz" he verbally told me that the price was $14000 literally doubled the price listed online. I told him about the catalog that was online for the same course listed for $7200, he got up and said let me check. He went into his office to look for the catalog online and left me waiting in the conference room, he came back saying that he couldn't find. I told him he needed to google "microcenter dental assistant catalog" and he still didn't find it. Basically these guys earn high commissions on each student when they get them to sign up. He also didn't show me nothing in writing what the course cost. He invited ...about the dental assistant program.

Basically I think this school is a SCAM and these guys earn high commissions on each student when they get them to sign up. He also didn't show me nothing in writing what the course cost. He invited me to his office to assist him to download to catalog. The catalog was listed "2009" he told me that catalog is outdated and the courses have changed. I told him that I agree with him but how can a course raise the price twice the amount in less than 2 years. I basically left out of the room and told him this didn't work out for me. You can get a better education and cheaper at a real college and walk out with a college diploma. Stay away from this school they are a bunch of scammers.
