I attended Chubb Institute back in 2003 for "network technician" training and it was the worse decision I ever made. All they did was take my money and run. I remember that one of the things we were to learn was the Microsoft Office program, what a joke this was. They found someone with such a thick accent that Everyone in the class got horrible grades. When we all complained about the instructor to the director we were all scolded because a majority of us were all fresh out of high school and they felt we were just acting like children.
Every month we would get a different instructor, and we would voice a complaint but they kept claiming that we would have different bosses in the field so this would help to adjust to such a situation. I don't see how this would have helped in any way shape or form seeing how this was a learning environment and a working environment is something completely different.
In the end they were pretty slick they actually waited till the 6th month in to inform us that we would still need a certification to actually get into the field, and that we were going to have to find a place that did it on our own. They even went so far as to admit that the promise of the existing class time being part of "experience" was all a lie. So here I am 27, out of work, and still in debt to the loan I took to got to this Joke of an institution.
Oh and just a little food for thought they changed their name from "The Chubb Institute" to "Anthem Institute". Please be aware of this and don't allow yourself to be fooled like I and my mates were. Seeing how I nor anyone else in my class got a job in the field. I would know because I still keep in touch.
