Vatterott College / Vatterott Educational Centers - Bad Instructor

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 on the 19th of October in the year of 2009 and I officially did my last extern day on the 16th of December of 2010. So I guess that you can say that I did 14 months total. On orientation night we all sat patiently and quietly waiting for the new instructor to walk in. Considering that this was a brand new school, we all could smell the newness of everything. We waited for about 15 minutes and in walked our overweight, black teacher. Now she talked to us and told us what to expect of not only her but the school as well. She appeared a bit apprehensive and cool at first, but later on she was not cool at all. She said what she had to say, other instructors and staff talked, and we went home. It lasted all of 2 hours. We started a week later on a Monday. She started out as being a cool instructor, someone that you could talk to, ya know a friendly person. Well, we all were wrong. First, she found out what she could about us and used it against us by talking down to us, screaming at grown adult women, and making us feel as if we couldn't accomplish anything at all. Second, she cursed us out and had favorites in her night class. Oh yeah, I was in the day class, by the way. She talked bad about us to the women in the night class until they wouldn't even socialize with us and they would turn their noses up at us. She would take off points if we did the littlest thing and would change her teaching ways just to set us up for failure. She would not teach us everything that we needed to know. She would come in everyday and talk about her family and about her problems. Hell, she even talked about how much sex that she was getting. Now that was taking it too far. Not only that, but she had very limited knowledge of medical assistant procedures. She talked about how we were nothing but ghetto project hoes, how we were never, ever going to reach our dreams, and that we might as well just give up. She wanted a lot of us to fail, but only a few dropped out. The majority of us passed. She talked about how we looked, smelled, and dressed. She went to a strip club, on business hours, with the females in the night class. We all told the managers on her but nothing was done about it. Now she works at the other campus, I think Berkley, in charge of strictly the externship sites. Not only that but the school in Fairview Heights, Illinois didn't have everything that we needed, especially not in the lab. We had to wait for weeks and sometimes even months for our books and other materials.It is a good thing that the school was free because they weren't yet approved of grants and loans. Bu bestides that, she made us feel like ###! There are so many people in our day class that don't even want to attend the graduation because of her and her ###. Many people even went to corporate but the only thing that was done is that she was talked to about her behavior. Now that didn't change anything, it only made her worse. I feel cheated, dazed and confused by these events. I feel like she should not be working for Vatterott College at all. She shouldn't even be allowed to work in the medical field at all. If you could see and hear what i did, you would feel the same way too. I am so freaking angry and shocked that Vatterott College would allow such a thing at their school. But what do you expect out of a second rate school?!

At least, as you stated, it was free . I am currently there and the only real issue I have had is the disbursement of the loans. Oh and the corporate number on the internet sites (since Vatterott does not list it) is no longer in service. I wonder why. My instructors were AWESOME and I Love the Paralegal field. My main issue is the inconsistency of the student loan disbursement. The books seem VERY expensive, but I have not been in college for over 20 years prior to this round.
Good Luck with your career and I hope you don't let one snot of an instructor bring you down.

Anyone who has stepped foot in a Vatterott ought to be smart enough to know it sucks ### ### a school. Just search the internet and if you can read you will figure it out soon enough.

Oh and one more thing. Nancy Brown runs Vatterott! All of her co-workers are afraid of her. The lady doesn't have professional bone in her body. She speaks to the students like she hates her job and to her co-workers like she "IS" corporate! Personally I think they're afraid to fire her..Lol When she tells Diane to "JUMP" Diane yells "How Hi Massa"? Lol I'm waiting on the day she speaks to the wrong person like she does and they smack her face! I'm sure it won't be long... Someone already put a bullet hole in one of there office windows...

To Coby 9000...I agree with you on what you said about the instructor that was so called. "teaching" at your schools campus and it's funny because I think I know which instructor you may be referring to. I attended the Berkley campus for over a year in the medical field and the same thing happened there..It's so sad. There were and maybe still are at least 3-5 instructors at the Berkley campus that DON'T HAVE A CLUE! You can't tell me they ALL have worked in the field when one of my peers was offered a job as an instructor right after graduation! Are you kidding me? I advise everyone I know to go somewhere like Flo-Valley or Forrest Park Community College. You'll get a decent education at an affordable price!
To the *Brenda* lady...Look YOU MUST EITHER BE or KNOW the instructor she was referring to for you to be so defensive. The "complaints" she have about her instructor ARE RELEVANT! Of course it's none of her business..but did she ask the lady what she does in her private life? Hell no! She spoke about it to her students like they ALL DO! Know one walks in and say to the instructor, " Hey Ms...Did you happen to get laid last night?" Nope! This info is what the instructors believe to be part of the curriculum. As far as how bad it would be once, if ever we're offered a job in the medical field is concerned... Can't be worse than attended that school.! LOL! By the way...don't hate on her because she put you or your loved one on BLAST! Just thank God everyone who has attended the school didn't sit down one day to type out complaints...Vatterott would be shut down and the instructors wouldn't be able to show there faces in public ever again! Coby 9000..I pray that you are blessed from here on out. As for you *Brenda* I'll just pray for you PERIOD! God Bless :)
