20 Best G.E.D Programs In Albuquerque, NM (2022 Updated)

UNM is an awesome university! I'm currently a junior and throughout my three years here UNM has provided me with a number of opportunities, friends, resources and life skills. The campus is gorgeous, at all times of the year! People on campus are always friendly and there's always a ton going on. Aside from the great atmosphere, the staff and professors are extremely nice and always willing to help. I came here with no major in mind and was able to explore with the help of my advisor until I figured it out. I was able to create the degree that I wanted through the liberal arts program and my focus areas have opened so many doors for me! UNM has also provided me with the opportunity to go on exchange to another University for a whole year at the same price for tuition, amazing! I will always be grateful for the knowledge and skills I've gained as well as all of the amazing friends and colleagues I've made! I truly could not have asked for a better undergrad experience.Cassie Collister

This is a nice large clean campus. The only bad thing is probably the bicycle theft. Even if you use ulock, there's high chance that it might get stolen. Duck pond is one the best places to chill. Architecture building library has the best view of Sandia mountains from campus. If you love to watch full moon, Johnson field is a good place!Khandoker Nuzhat Rafa Islam

I have been going to the Coumadin Clinic for 10 years or so. They treat everyone like you are a part of their family. It's always been that way. I am very thankful for everything that they do for me. I had 2 other members of my family that had to go there also.Patrick Keller

Janaya Bunker was incredible and super thorough. The best cleaning the best x-rays the best time anyone can possibly have getting their teeth serviced. The instructor Cher is super awesome and funny. With service like this and instruction like this I have faith in the dental industry for Las Cruces. Highly recommended that anybody reading this review call and make an appointment with the dental college to get your exam and your cleaning. Make sure that you make extra time in your schedule for these because they do take a little bit longer. It is still completely worth it.Zoey E

For such a small campus you would expect advisors to be more organized. Left voicemails and sent emails, but received no answer. All I had was an advisor hold which could have been resolved easily. First advisor stated she wasn't making appointments and only taking walk-ins, but when I showed up she said she had an appointment and wouldn't be able to see me. Missed a semester just like that.Jose I. Quinones

DACC the Junior institution of NMSU, is truly an academic marvel nestled in the mountains, led by superb administrators and Professors. Truly an inspirational institution and invite anyone seeking a change in their life go and talk with the advisors.NMSU is creme-de-creme but the junior college follows those tracks well.jerome b

The new landscaping is beautiful. Faculty are friendly and helpful. Classes are small and tuition is low. This is a great place to start college.Tina Hite

My daughter recently started with Sylvan after falling behind during the pandemic and struggling to keep up in class. She is becoming more confident and less afraid to ask questions at home and in school. She thoroughly enjoys her sessions and looks forward to it! She even asked me if she can just go to Sylvan instead of school. She loves the more individualized help vs “small group” in school classes. The tokens are a great way to motivate them and make learning a fun process for them.That Crazy Dog Lady

Our son has been going to Sylvan learning center of Albuquerque going on his second week and already his teacher has asked what he is doing after school to get better in class. We let her know we started him in Sylvan. She let us know she has seen a positive difference in his learning. The staff is friendly and the setting is great.Andrea Parada

Sylvan learning center has been a big help for my son! He has only been going for 3 and half weeks now and I can really tell a difference in his reading and comprehension, which has helped him in his math and science too. I look forward to see where my son is at in another 3 weeks.:)Isaiah Visarraga

When we started Sylvan.Our daughter was struggling and behind where she should have been academically.(Virtual learning was tough!) It was affecting her confidence and attitude toward school.Her grades were also taking a downward turn.With the help of her coaches at Sylvan she put in the work and after a couple months, her attitude has definitely shifted for the better.She is more excited for school and her grades have seen improvement.The administrative team is great to work with- super helpful! Our kiddo loves all her coaches here. I’m glad we came.The proof is in the report card!L Miles

Last night, I was doing spelling homework with my son and he was writing sentences and sounding out words to spell. I was jumping up and down in my head with such excitement. I couldn’t actually jump and down because my son already thinks his mom too much. I can’t explain in words how seeing my son reading hit me. Covid was hard on us all; especially our children. My son being tutored at Sylvan East has made a difference . My son is walking a little taller because his one on one tutoring in reading at Sylvan. We are blessed.Eve Chavez

After a year of distance learning at APS our daughter fell further and further behind in reading. We contacted Sylvan for an evaluation. Our daughter was a full grade behind, and her confidence was broken. The staff at Sylvan was able to quickly evaluate her and build a plan and get her help right away. My daughter has been attending for a little over a month and her confidence has soared. Thank you SylvanCharles Miles

Terrible school! I have multiple degrees and this was by far my worse experience. First of all the student instructor ratio is about 25-30 students to 1-3 instructors depending on the day. The instructors are good and most care but it's the administrative and management that act carefree about anything you bring to them. My last week of class we had two days in a row where not a single instructor showed up??? After an hour, a few of us student went to the office and asked what's going on, the girl stated that they ALL called in sick. When i asked what we should do she asked me if i could teach the class for the rest of the day? The young lady that works in the office is very rude, moody and unprofessional. BTW, only about 3 of 10 students pass the class. I would steer clear of this place if you can. Instructors get a B+, office staff D-, the school overall F!……..W B

I had a great experience at this school. The staff is friendly and very helpful. It can get a little busy on the range with all of the students and everyone needing to learn but if your patient and persistent it will pay off. The instructors are very knowledgeable and will put in the work to see you succeed if your respectful and pay attention to the details. In my opinion, if you show drive and motivation you will go places. I have learned a lot from Manny, Tom, Pat and Josh! They are all professionals and know what they are talking about in the CDL world. They took the time to show me the ropes and explained things great! Thanks!James K

It’s a good place to get your Cdl. When I went there it was a lot of students in a class and very hard to get the time with the instructors but they do get you ready for your exam and to be able to pass it. I can definitely say that Santanna in the office is amazing and goes above and beyond her job title to help everyone to be successful and truly cares. She has even helped me after I graduated with job leads and just to check up and make sure I’m doing good with my new career.Tim Long

A lovely and functional campus with a small footprint that gets lots done learning-wise. Library and computer lab staffs have always been friendly. Most instructors are readily available. Classrooms are up-to-date with what seems like the perfect technology to help instructors teach students in comfortable environment. The College seems to have a degree program for every type of learner and most job categories. Tuition is a bargain.Joe Smith

People at this campus are rude and they stare at you, like if you had something on you. I came to the computer lab and i caught 3 people staring at me and other times at well. They make it so obvious and it's making me sick, the only thing that i like about this campus is that is new and the computer lab. I'd rather go to the DACC from Espina street, that DACC is much more open and flexible. Don't go to this campus.May Martinez

I love this place, and not ONLY because my wife teaches here. This is an awesome facility with ample parking and fun little places to study, etc. It also helps that for the past year they've been the home to one of the better covid testing locations in town.Kelly Ahrendes

Great experience with Club-Z in Albuquerque! Sue met with us in our home to help determine a program and tutor that would work for our 4 year old with special needs. Our tutor, Dee, was amazing with our daughter and made the program fun while motivating her to succeed every step of the way. Highly recommended!! It was nice for our daughter to have in person instruction during these times of remote learning. Well worth the price.Dena Qassim

We had a great experience with Club Z Tutoring! Club Z connected us with an excellent tutor, Michael, who really connected with our son and helped him develop some study strategies for a couple of tough classes he is taking. He feels more confident tackling large assignments and group work and his grades reflect this. We really appreciate all the support we received from Club Z and highly recommend this business!Amy Lahti

I was a tutor for Club Z during the fall of 2020. I was a teacher in search of a job while schools were closed, and Club Z gave me the opportunity to work with some wonderful families. Sue was great to work for, making sure the students and I were good fits for each other. She was always available to answer questions and trusted me to use my professional judgement with my students.Gina Mitchell

They made me choose between my dying mother and my schooling. I should have known this place was sketchy when the instructors were always quitting, enrollment was low, and the main instructor for my course couldn’t read. Unprofessional is putting it lightly. They preach about being understanding to get you enrolled, then totally blindside you with changes and expect the students to adapt without warning. One of the instructors was upset she didn’t get a full time position, then took that aggression out on her students. She mistreated and verbally abused a student so much that the student dropped out. After this incident, the instructor openly mocked and made fun of her in front of other students. What kind of instructor gossips to her students about her students? I learned more about the instructor’s jail bird boyfriend more than the actual curriculum. This place is a joke, instructors are a joke, and I wouldn’t waste my time. Get an appropriate education at a legit university where the instructors can actually read.Felicia Martinez

Scam artists. They’ll tell you that they will work around your work schedule and you will start in a fundamental course once you start the program but then start you in an advanced course forgetting to mention the courses are in a loop. But when you ask what to do so you can at least be caught in the class is told to get “computers for dummies” by an instructor that doesn’t have any certification. Then also told that your work schedule is causing an issue with school. Leaving you to have to drop the courses and also leaving you 16 thousand in debt with nothing learned.Michael Romero

Well now that im coming to the end of term and graduation i am sorry to inform that some staff are awsome financial-aid is okay. I was not happy about checks they would get news that checks where on the way and would inform students but when it was time they where not in its not the people who work in the financial department fault i blame how the corporate office runs the school i do not recommend this school i mean the teaching is great… But please fully understand this school put alot of research befor going here👍👎desiree vidal-montoya

I love this school. Amazing teachers! Perfect sized classes. However, I went into the bookstore and I have never met such unfriendly, unhelpful people. Also, I had been in there 3 times in one day. I directly went to this older lady I believe she was the boss. And told her I wanted to return a book and showed her my receipt. She then said this way and directed me to the arrows to get in line. She then begins to tell people about their backpacks, which I understand and yes I did have my backpack on at the moment and I was thinking to myself humm maybe I needed to take mine off to but you would think she would of told me when I was showing her the book I was returning and from the door went straight into line. Anyways, she got frustrated with another boy and then came over to me and told me rudely "Next time take off your backpack". Me being respectful and noticing she was my elder I then apologized and said it wouldn't happen again. She then rolled her eyes and walked away. I go in and overpay for paper books and 600$ later have to deal with rude individuals. The younger girls are helpful and an older man who helped me find my books was also helpful. I have worked in retail since I was 16 and I am now 23 and I would never treat a customer like that. Rolling my eyes, and speaking rudely to them. ESPECIALLY if she is the boss. I understand people get frustrating sometimes but that just ruined my whole experience.Francine Lopez

You guys are ridiculous with your parking tickets. I have a class at 7:30 am and did not have time to buy a parking pass since the offices don’t open until 8:00. I have gotten 3 tickets in the past 3 days!!!! Damn you know your students are busy. Put a limit on how many parking tickets you can give. Give us a few days to at least get it! Sick of dropping 1000 dollars every semester on books and now I have $75.00 in parking tickets. I can barely afford food and you all want to give me a ticket everyday. That just seems like Cnm is money hungry. Have some sympathy for your students who buy your overpriced books. Only thing I love about cnm is their teachers. I understand it’s a safety concern but 3 tickets in 3 days is just greedy. I will gladly pay the first one but I will go higher up to fight the last two. Really, stop taking advantage of students.Francine Lopez

Always helpful ppl &advisory at CNM…I graduated from here with my degrees. Now my husband is going. English is his 2nd language &Daniel Colón is his adviser. Very helpful, but there's only ONE IRW 0970 (Reading &Writing /basic college English ) class at the Montoya campus? ! This is more than inconvenient –it needs to be fixed!! He tested into an Algebra I class, should've been basic MATH. Now I'm spending a semester trying to do my thing at NMHU plus help him with Algebra. Well, it's not hurting anything, they have plenty of fantastic tutors at the Montoya campus. Just wish there was more that ONE IRW 0970 😒😒😒L Duran

I went to Catholic Charties to help with getting my husbands paper who came come illegally I submitted all paperwork paid everytime too longer then their times frame (but who could lie them right ) welll 4-5 months pass and a receive letter starting they had forgotten to send a blank paper but with out that plank paper they would not be able to schedule our Interview I Juárez I had a lot of trouble contacting Karina and it was worst when she No longer workers there the new one beamed Isabel does not know her stuff she told us not to get our Shots as they would be invalid we still go the shots as we thought might as well as try the consulate did in fact valid the shots after our last meet with Isabel We thought we would have everything. Organized and ready to go NOPE…… good think I’m pretty smart And intelligence cuz I got the package together and thank goodness my hubby is safe at homeIsabel Alvarado

Swore they would help us and they cared but used us and are ready to throw us away now that our time is up. If you disagree with any suggestion they have for your family they will leave you high and dry and not even attempt to help in any way. People like us are funding to them, not humans. They care about keeping their jobs and looking like they're helping people on paper but they won't out any effort in at all to help if they decide they don't like you and they will blame you for it. We're currently stuck at an apartment complex they funnel people to because they're friends with the property managers. This property has staff harassing us and actually attempting to exacerbate my disability because they think it's funny, Catholic Charities golds their hands and says "we can't help, sorry!" This has been a nightmare, don't ever go to them for help.Andrea

Well I know this place well enough. I've been to the old building that got knocked down to build the new in it's place. The new building is big but it does what two buildings did before….so now it's more consolidated with the important legal stuff and big shots on the third floor. I can't speak much to the legal support they offer, however their daycare is one of the best in town….their adult education is good offering Citizenship, English as a Second Language (nothing very advanced level) and High School Equivalency (HSE) classes in Spanish. Internal communication could be better because sometimes one can get many different answers for the same question depending on which staff member you ask. So ask several people. It's like the hand doesn't know what the foot is doing…..at least in the Adult Ed. side.Raul Perez

great place to go when you are wanting to further your education. The teachers are amazing and willing to work with you. I highly recommend this place to my friends and family.Samantha S.

CNM front desk Ronnie is unprofessional and unwelcoming. If you ask a question Ronnie will roll his eyes at you and thinks your complaining and will call another employee at CNM while you can hear him talking about you. I rather drive to Albuquerque CNM to get better customer service. CNM needs to train employee at front desk to answer questions by students, parents regardless of race.nora F

I really don’t like this campus at all. There is no phone service, all the employees that work the front are so rude, and classes always get dropped for the lack on enrollment. Also this campus is in the middle of no where. Give this campus a skip if u could.Garcia Ashley

This is a clean campus. I had good experiences with all my professors and even came across a few amazing ones as well. There is an honors program for overachieving grade mongers. I would recommend to anyone.Jaycee Lewis

I would absolutely recommend giving ABQ Homeschool Connection a try! Ms. Kris engaged my busy boys with so many fun activities. She is a former teacher of many years and really knows that kids will learn best about things that interest them. She finds ways to educate about various topics while including the kid’s interests in the activities. The center has so much space for them to spread out and plenty of toys, games and a few quiet rooms for studying. My boys attended weekly programs with her and had a great time, all while allowing me some time to get some work done. Kris is so wonderful and easy to work with. She even has a van to take the kids on field trips if they want or to pickup and drop off kids if need be. She was happy to pickup my kids from my house a few days that I had critical meetings. Here are some photos of a couple of field trips they went on. My kids are animal lovers so she took them to the biopark and a fun pet store where they each got to hold the animals and learn about how to care for them. Such a great alternative to traditional school or homeschooling, a good mix of socializing and educational fun in one. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Mikhaila Diekmann

Ms Kristen provides a wonderful & safe environment for homeschoolers to explore their interests with fun hands-on classes and real life experiences that kids thrive on. My 8 year old thoroughly enjoys this welcoming space with mixed age classes, friendly kids, and lots of real science experiments. As a homeschool mother to two young children these classes offer parents a welcoming break from providing all the homeschool and my child a couple hours a week where she can go learn with other homeschooled kids in a relaxed and happy environment.D Peacock

I am the music teacher here at AHC so I can give you the inside look at the school. The way Kristen (owner) runs this school is exactly how it should be. Kristen is so unbelievably comitted to making AHC the ideal place for our new generations. Child centered learning is the way to go! Don't forget to checkout Rockstar Music Lessons!Eric Klima

My wife took a Paella cooking class at Los Altos church July 22, 2014. Not only was the kitchen not too nice to cook in, but the teacher was not pleasant at all or a good teacher. The finished Paella was not good at all. This was a really disappointing experience for her as there were several other cooking classes she wanted to take but they are all by this same teacher. Now she won't be taking them.Jeffrey Carlson

My husband and I took a cooking class with Gilda. She was the most unpleasant person I've been around in a long time. She was short tempered with her students, sarcastic, and generally overall nasty. Doesn't matter if she is a good cook. If she can't teach without being polite to her students, she is not competent.Anita Briscoe

UNM wants to INCREASE TUITION but continues to hold onto white elephant properties like this Continuing Ed building???? Sell this sucker and get organized! UNM is the most poorly administered university in the country.Fiona Brown

Be sure to read the guidelines before going in and you will not have any issues every department hapartments has wonderful people there to answer your questions or help you with your needs.. I myself am actually disabled and go to school for for film on a scholarship for disabled individuals and I have had amazing support the entire way through Not only that but the Dean the entire staff is really great and now the campus has improved to the Overall fuel of the campus it's a nice place to be to hang out and and they have made plenty of spaces where students can actually be even when between classes or doing homework doing homework etc. There are a number of labs where you can use the latest technology and the latest software often So you really have many options and options and I would recommend CNM I graduated with 2 of my degrees and I am working on one more and I have been to UNM but CNN has much more intimate classes and not only that tleave that that I find the quality he is better as well Instead of quantity being focused on quality is focused on so you will have some amazing professors. Who definitely do not get paid enough for what they're doing in fact the entire staff really is underpaid for what they do but as far as everything with the campus goes I would recommend that I would recommend that I would recommend looking up the website so you know where you're going if you're looking for something in particular you'll be able to find that rather easily through the website and you can also chat with someone if you need to. You can find help with everything from Career advancement job place manic cetera to next Saturday to financial aid and so on. The new buildings and the additions and renovations to the other buildings at the main campus are top notch and I really loved being at the school I'm disappointed that disappointed that I have to move to a 4 year school it's been a honor.Rye Lu (edisiuS One)

I set up my classes almost 3 weeks in advance with an advisor. A week before classes were supposed to start (today) I called and talked to 3 seperate people. A man in the advisor office, a woman at the cashiers office, and a woman in the financial aid office. Each person confirmed my payments were set up and I was good to go for classes. I went on an out of state trip and came home to DOZENS of texts and emails saying my classes were getting dropped. I paid $50 to keep the classes, and I was still dropped from my classes. I called and talked to an advisor who said there was basically nothing they could do, and told me that a higher up would call me. Its been a week since then and I still havent heard anything, I still dont have my money back. Im heartbroken and distraught. Every time ive tried to call since speaking with the advisor, ive been hung up on every single time. CNM preaches inclusitivity, then excludes the disabled students. Absolutely ridiculous and im still fuming.SomeCryptid

Don’t go to this school if you’re trans. On their website there’s a name change request for trans students that doesn’t require paperwork, yet I’ve been running in circles for a week and getting zero progress. When I bring it up, no one in student services even knows what I’m talking about and IT had to have me lead them to the form. You would think that they added the form last week without telling anyone. I went to UNM last semester and the school let you change your own name within blackboard and it was updated within 24hours. The process at CNM is so difficult and ridiculous and the help services just transfer my call to other departments as if they don’t know who can handle the issue. After this semester I’m transferring back and staying at UNM.azul

response karen your frickin silly hahahahahaha "im not saying SIPI is the best school out there" karen says. you should have said im not saying SIPI is an ok school out there. Karen i would recommend that you expand your horizons and visit other schools. then decide if you wanna use the word the best. I was not contradicting my self Karen google auto type that goofed up my sentence. it was supposed to read "the school is awful and if your lucky you'll never go there." Karen why don't you grow up and see that SIPI is getting closed down for a reason. 5% percent graduation rate do the math and look at the facts, i am sorry i did not got to the school for a popularity contest. If you aint here to help fix things on the reservations or the world you need to tie your tubes get a cookie sit in the corner and feel special. Some of us actually care about our community. I stayed because when things get tuff i dont jump ship like your self. i finish what i started. Next time stick in there for more then half a day before you judge me. Im part of the 5 precenters that finished. so before you take your panties off and start swinging them around your head telling everyone i'm that bad guy you should see where you stand. There has been some cool and awesome people that went to school there but they always get belittled by a person like your self who cant stand to see another person liked. I feel sorry for you Karen because you don't how many awesome friends you missed out on. you wont realize this until your old. Kel don't base your view of native Americans on this school there are alot of us who are nice and respectful, fun and have no ego.Damien moore

I graduated in the Spring of 2006, it took me less than two year's to earn my Associates in Business Administration. Many of my Instructor's/Professor's taught at UNM and CNM, which mean's I got the same education at a fraction of what I would have paid attending those institutions. I also got more quality time with my educators as opposed to being just another face or number amongst a larger class setting (and my teacher's knew my name!). I had the opportunity to transfer into the Anderson School of Business at UNM to earn my Bachelor's and all my credits were viable, but I chose a different path. I now attend the Institute of American Indian Arts, where I am 6 credits shy of earning my Bachelor's Degree in New Media Arts. I credit SIPI for being my stepping stone in pursuing a higher education for myself, my family, and community. I have utilized much of the education I acquired there in my life and within a school setting, which has allowed me to maintain a 3.5 cumulative GPA and above. This has allowed me to acquire monetary funding in the form of grants and scholarships to pay for my education and assisted with me acquiring credit and raising my credit rating (which is in the 700+). Overall, what I am trying to say is YOU and anyone has the ability to make it a great place to go to school. I never experienced any physical harm or have ever felt endangered at the school and I am recommending both, my 20 year old cousin and 16 year old niece to attend there in 2012. Thank you for your time….also I am using my full name for this rating, because: I truly believe it is a great school!Jessie Bennett

Do They Still Have The Culinary Arts Program There. I've attend S.I.P.I from 2000 to 2003, and I've graduated with a Certificate in the Culinary Arts field. BOOKS, Tuition, Room and BOARD Cost me littlt0e to nothing At S.I.P.I compared to a Top of The Line Culinary school wich costs 50 Grand and higher I did not have to worry about paying any loans or other fees at the time. Living in the dorms wasn't bad for me but it was home away from home.Now Employed at The Phoenician Hotel and Resort in Scottsdale Arizona, Employed as A cook, and I Enjoy my Career.Jarvis Blueyes
