First and for most don't misunderstand me, I went into the medical field to be a medical assistant because I love helping people. But after attending this school I am not so sure if I should continue in this field. I may not hit base on every subject or topic, but I shall do my best. Now lets get down to business and let me start at the beginning. I started...

I am a student at Vatterott College, the Oklahoma City campus. Where to begin?! They have yet to do a thing they said they would. I was told I'd learn everything I needed to know, that I would recieve excellent quality in education, and that I would recieve an externship. Sounded great so I enrolled. I'm currently in my 5th phase of 6 phases. After my 6th phase, I am to obtain my Medical Assisting Diploma. Good for me right? Wrong.
I'm about to have my diploma and I just recently found out that I will NOT learn how to draw blood, I will NOT recieve an externship, and the only way I will recieve these things is if I take out ANOTHER loan (a $10, 000 loan) and stay for an extra 3 phases (30 weeks) to get an Associates in Medical Assisting- not what they told me AT ALL. So, if I don't want to take out another loan(on top of the $20, 000 loan I took out for the first 6) I will be forced to go look for a job without an externship, and if I'm lucky enough to even get a job, THEY will have to teach me how to draw blood and all the other procedures I will need to do.
This school has completely ripped me off! In the meantime, I'm still here. Trying to make it to school everyday, and do all my work knowing it will get me nowhere. The only reason I feel obligated to obtain the useless diploma is because I paid 20 G! So might as well have SOMETHING to show for it.
90 hours of lecture time? More like 90 hours of Facebook time! Externship? Oh yeah, for an extra 10 G on top of the first 20.
This school is such a joke.
Sitting at Vatterott writing this complaint, and my teacher is sitting right next to me.
Yes, this school is a joke. I am DISGUSTED.
This is the worst mistake of my life.
OH YES! DID I MENTION- everyone else I know who went to school for medical assisting completed there work in about 7 months (that includes the externship guys!).
I've been here a year :)
That's right, a year!

Accounting department refused to give me an itemized bill
I attended this school from august 2, 2010 until august 16, 2010 and i submitted my letter on resignation on august 17, 2010 about 1:00pm. I was advised at that time that i should call the school back around the end of august to find out if i owe the school any money. I called the school at the end of august and i was told by a very rude person in accounting that my financial aid money was sent back to the lender and i owe the school $664. 59 and that i would receive and itemized bill in the mail. I waited and waited but never received a anything in the mail regarding this money that i was told that i owed the school. I called the lender continuously and they said no refund was received from the school, so finally i called the accounting department again and left messages about the end of october and never received a call back. I called the finance department and spoke to a gentleman by the name of mike groos on november 4th 2010 and he sent me a copy of my ledger card which i didn't understand. The next week i received a letter from diane walton in the accounting department dated nov10, 2010 at the north park
Campus request payment of the $664. 59. Next i called the lender again and now it shows that the funds have been returned. I received another letter from diane walton dated nov 19, 2010 stating my account will soon be referred to collections and mark for "final inspection" and please be advised that this is my 2nd appeal for you to remit the outstanding balance or call me to discuss a payment plan. I called diane walton on nov 29, 2010 and requested an itemized bill and she said they don't send out itemized bills. She then stated i can tell you what you owe. She told me that i owe $587. 00 for my books and the rest is for partial tuition and uniform fees. I requested to speak with somone else and she put her supervisor on the phone and her name is nancy brown i asked again for an itemized bill and ms brown told me she just told you we don't provide that and you owe $664. 59 for books, partial tuition and uniform fees. I asked her why am i paying for uniforms i have never seen or worn and she said because the school had to pay for them. I asked her were are the uniforms and she said at the school. I asked why can't they recycle the uniforms and she said no one can use these uniforms because they have my name on them, so they are just sitting at the school. I asked why am i paying $587. 00 for 2 books and a 2gb flash drive that only cost a total of about 100. 00 and she said well you had the option of purchasing your books elsewhere but since you didn't you have to pay what the school charges. I told her the books have never been used and neither has the flash drive and she had no response. I asked ms brown if there is a corporate office or someone over her that i can speak to and she said no. I told her that i will find someone else to help me and she said well do whatever you have to do.
I've asked for my records of financial aid disbursed and itemized bill for the time I've attended in [protected]. The FA lady took over 2 weeks to respond to my email and gave me the wrong fax number to fax my signed request form. Emailed her over a week ago and still waiting to hear back. She told me they couldn't release my records to me personally but could to a lawyer or needed to come up and could review them myself but not obtain copies to do the math because they over charged me, lost one of my signed financial aid forms (I have the taped conversation when Marcy in FA told me about losing it), and lied about how much they needed in loans for me to attend. I'm considering litigation with a couple of other former Omaha students.
Typical Vatterott! I'm enrolled now :( such a rip off!
I have to finish this last phase just to feel like $20, 000 loan wasn't for nothing! But it really was. I don't get an externship, I haven't learned how to draw blood, and If I want these things?
Well I need to take out another $10, 000 loan and stay an extra 30 weeks to recieve my Associates.
Scam and lies
Look, to all who knocks this school. The one thing is ... you get what you put into it. This is not a 4year college. The education is training and only a stepping stone. Yes, this school has no real education transfer credits to a college (Heck, I had one college tell me that my A.O.S. degree is only a piece of paper) and is a school for adults. So, for...
Read full review of Vatterott College / Vatterott Educational Centers and 6 commentspoor education
Before I even graduated the codes for medical billing had changed and we never were given the oppertunity to take the course over to learn the new codes. They never helped me find a job after I graduated. The career counselor has called me SEVERAL times about job possibilities but never contacts me to let me know anything else. This is a very poor schooling for the amount of student loan I had to take out. Their loan lenders... that's another BAD parrt of this deal. I wasn't even late on my payment and omg, they called my phone 3 times a day, 5 days of the week. I am going to have to remove that part of my resume to even get any type of job. I feel this is UNFAIR to us as medical office students! The government needs to step in and take a good look around this college and the way it is doing their "graduates" !

Low Quality of Education
I went to this school from April of 2008 till May of 2009. And I must say, it is by far the worst decision I have ever made. Please, if you are intending on enrolling into Vatterott College's Computer Technology program think long and hard about your decision. Tuition is 23, 000 for the diploma (60 weeks) and 12, 000 extra for the degree program. Let me...
Read full review of Vatterott College / Vatterott Educational Centers and 10 commentsmiss billing, hostile enviornment, break contract
i with drew from vatterott college after witnessing an altecation between an instuctor (steve horne) and a student. the instructor was verbally assulting the student and threw things around the room. this left us with out an instuctor. i left and informed steve that i would not be returning. vatterott had me come in cause they didn't want to lose another student, at the time i was having trouble with day care for my child so thry insisted that i sign a leave of absence, so i followed thier advise. i was contacted a while later and i told them that i wasn't returning. vatterott then sent a letter saying i owed them money and threatend to take further action if i didn't pay, i didn't understand where this had came from when i was told that i was completely coverd between my grants and loans. i had them send me a copy of the bill from begining to end and i feel that they had over charged from the contracted first year expence to the amount billed, i also feel that vatterott was in breach of contract by failing to provide an instructor for that period of time, and for allowing that kind of behavior.
Lets break it down...
Less than 30 days I beleve the government says you don't pay ..
A writen letter stating why you diden't feel that you were receiving the education you paid for, is by Vatterotts own terms, sufficiant proticol to put in motion a resalution..
In short.. Fight It.. don't let Yourself get ripped off...
By the way...check into Pheonix or Ottawa U, they do accept Vatterott credits at aproxamitly 72 whole credits towards a bachlors (thats for approx 104 Vatterott credits ) " And you must of compleated the AOS "...
I'm finding the instructors in my field of choice to be quite good
though I'm ticked off at how the school is run overall (upper managment and/or corporate ) In closing...Your right about being Technically up to date, The computors and the so called advanced computors books (microsoft 2003) are F****** dinasours...As for the job after...you might be able to mark it up to the times, College grads all across America are finding it hard to get employment.

My hours
Vatterott college is a joke! They steal hours from students that have rightfully earned them and gave those hours to a student who can not show up to school on time, who wont do anything to help out and is completely irresponsable. The student with the hours had a weeks worth of hours built up, hours of which would cover the scheduled days off(those of which are national holidays but yet have to be made up) and cover the day she needs to take off for a doctors appointment, insted she finds out that her hours have been cut that she can not miss any school, yet the student which was held over cause she had to make hours up had another week to make up but all the sudden no longer had that week to make up. Thus the hard working student loses a weeks worth of hours and the student having to make hours up gains a week. Thats bull if you ask me. There should be no student facutly relationships either, thats not professional, if they want a relationship they should keep it off campus.
i think that if you have a problem with a school you shouldn't attend that school and if you really had a problem with that you should own up to what you're saying you should put your name on there. and you should bring facts to the table instead of accusations that are not backed with any kind of merit.
COURTNEY HYATT
Accreditation and poor education quality
I am a graduate of Vatterott College Des Moines, Iowa. I went through the Mdical Office Assistant program and moved on to the Medical Assisting Program. I have been out of school for over two years and have yet to find anyone that will transfer my credits so I can further my education in the medical field. I was also very upset about the fact that the other colleges I have been talking to asked me about classes I had taken, and since Vatterott College does not offer elective class like English, Math, Science and a History class of some kind I will have to take CLEP tests to test out of these classes, which are expensive, or take them all over again. I will have to take all my medical assisting classes over again anyway because the credits are non-transferable to anywhere except Vatterott College and I can't go any farther than what I had already done.
I am just frustrated with them. I was younger and just wanted to go to a College. They didn't inform me of the accreditation of their schools, or the fact that I cannot go anywhere else with the knowledge I obtained there. The teachers were great, but the curriculum was vague and not specific enough to really work and actually know what I was doing.
I now have to pay back over 20, ooo dollars in student loans for a degree that is not worth the paper it was printed on. I am now having to start over with my education and that was the last thing I wanted to do. I now know that ACCSCT Accreditation is not good enough, I have done many months worth of research to find that anything that is not accredited by the High Learning Commission is good enough.
I hope that this will help people open their eyes in the future about "strip mall" colleges.
Thank you,
Amanda Estrada.
I am a 2013 graduate of medical assisting with limited rad. I passed state boards for certification, I went into Des Moines college today to get help from career services on specific issues. Nicole is no longer employed as career services, who in the past was always helpful and got me through some obsticle's. A Lindsey is now career service who is rude, lazy, couldn't figure out what her job title means. I have never had a single problem for the three years I attended there until today. Before I even arrived she was trying to cancel my appointment. She had no intention helping me. I will never seek advice from that school ever again and advice future want a be students not to apply with any Vatterott. She gave them a black eye. Thanks Marge June 18, 2014
Has anyone started a class action lawsuit against them?
Amanda,
I too have been dealing with this. I graduated in May of 2004 with an AOS in computer systems and network technology. we had one teacher that was to teach web design and she had not a clue.. her idea of doing web design was read chapters 5-10 - FOR 4.5 HOURS.. really... I was told as many of my classmates were as well that most of your credits should transfer. I am now ready to go back to school to get my bachelors degree. I had aquired 108 credits and the school will transfer 16 and i think its only because they felt sorry for me. I have contacted the Director at the Des Moines campus regarding this and i am not good enough for her to reply to so i went through the corporate office. The guy that i spoke to was not happy with me. I asked for a list of all the schools with in a 60MI radius that Vatterott has contracts with and i was told that they dont have any. THIS IS FRAUD MY FELLOW VATTEROTT FRIENDS. I suggested that they make an effort to obtain contracts with schools around the DSM campus and he stated and i quote "do you know how much work that would be" yes i kid you not that is what he said. So i said... oh i didnt realize that all Vatterott Employees were lazy.. I thought it was just the campus i went to .. well that about sums it up... Except i am contacting the BBB and the Attorney Generals office. If i can get enough people to help me out i would like to start a lawsuit against them for fraud. 25, 000 student loan for a school that i am embarrassed to tell people that i went to... THIS SUCKS...

Poor education, companies will not hire graduates
I graduated from Vatterott College's Computer Systems & Network Technology Associates Degree Program about 6 months ago. Vatterott DID NOT live up to their promises. Their promotional literature stated that the classes would cover setting up and deploying a network (OOPS); it didn't. We didn't set up even one server. The enrollment counselor said the...

I'll tell you how to pick a school.
1) First eliminate any school that advertises on radio or TV. They want money, most of the time they are for profit institutions and most of the time the education is crap.
2) Second if the school is not under the scrutiny of the State Board of Regents stay away.
3) Third call five other school and ask if they accept credits from the school you are considering.
4) Check the Better Business Bureau and if the school has ever had a complaint, even if it was resolved, do not go to the school. Again, in order to have BBB complaints the school is a business and not a state sanctioned school.
Never ever ever consider any career school. In the USA career school is just synonymous with cash cow operation and it is all about money - NOT EDUCATION.
If it sounds good, easy or quick you better think long and hard because there is no magical pill to getting quality education. Don't be suckers people these career institutions are junk science pure and simple.
I also went to vatterott at a different location. I just went throught the first six phases. I did learn how to draw blood, give injections, etc but bc our school has such a bad reputation, i can't get hired. I was a valedictorian and passed my certification . It would have been nice if someone would have told me to just get a cna license for $300 and i could've started making the same amount of money. I am now 20k in debt and have to start paying my loans next month. i wish there was a lawsuit I could file against them but i'm not sure how to get started. I'm just upset bc they targeted me. They knew i was feeling bad about myself, they knew i wanted to better myself, all they care about is getting the money and they get bonuses for every student they get to come there that's why they call you if you miss a couple days they don't really care.
