20 Best G.E.D Programs In Denver, CO (2022 Updated)

ACC is the best Community College in Colorado period. A large fraction of the teachers employed here are ex-Ivy League professors. My intro to business teacher was a top business professor at Clemson University. Most professors have PhD’s as opposed to a master’s degree. The grading process is very fair and these professors really care about your education and will go above and beyond to see that you succeed, granted you actually seek the help this is college people the teachers most likely aren’t going to come to you. There are so many different resources, including, but not limited too: Free tutors who are amazing ( in my opinion better than if you hired one), teachers who actually care about your future and present situations, book store/school supplies store on campus, a cafe with Caribou coffee, a milkshake machine and other great snacks, there are plenty of different areas to do school work or study that are very comfortable and convenient, they have hundreds if not thousands of majors and minors to choose from you want it, they’ve got it and so much more. Arapahoe Community College is by far the greatest her in Colorado. It is not overly priced the tuition rates are so great basically you can receive an Ivy League education for 10-15k per year. It’s an amazing way to save money especially when you are planning to go to a big university. Better to spend 10-15k on required pre- requisite classes, AKA GenEd rather than 25-75k. And since ACC has such amazingly qualified professors you won’t be behind , or unable to transfer successfully to a 4-year university, you will be able to make a smooth transition. Go to Arapahoe Community College; it’s for your own good. Thanks you won’t regret it😄 Dylan F currently enrolled studenDylan Fries

Veteran student here, all I can say is this school has been a waste of my benefits. The administration is aware that they are understaffed, busy, and stretched far too thin. Though nothing has changed not just with ACC but CCCS as well. There was a total of 4 semesters dealing with covid and distance learning, and there was no change in how it felt to learn from Spring 2020 till this past Spring 21. Four semesters with no change in how classes are taught, how students are engaged, how professors make sure that you are understanding the information, the list goes on and on. I had given up in most of my classes that I took here. I have felt everything but motivation, and determination to want to participate and study. The course I am studied in was faulty and dated. The introductory class alone is dated and will not prepare you for what it is to be an interior designer let alone give an actual representation of the work done in the field. I didn't learn to sketch, read floor plans, study the design process, bubble charts, box charts. I LEARNED HOW TO DECORATE. It was also very clear that if you wanted to decorate and only decorate you would do well in this program. I can’t believe how much this organization has failed its students and faculty. Save your scholarships, grants, and VA benefits and go else were.David Pratt

I’m seriously contemplating whether I to stop attending ACC. It doesn’t make since that online classes cost $100 extra per credit when a professor has you read chapters, and answer the chapter questions and do a weekly discussion question. There was no feedback to where I could know if I was grasping the concepts. I’d rather research what books each class provides and read them on my own then Pay $900 to a teacher that doesn’t communicate with us at all. On top of that, I experienced a micro-aggression during my final presentation where my professor asked if my business sold burritos because we were a Latino museum… This school needs to work with educating their teachers to learn how to treat their diverse students with respect and dignity. I was really excited to jump back into school. I had an entire plan but now I may just revise it and not include anymore investment at ACC.Victoria Gonzalez

I had some guy named Ian text me. He started off by saying hi. All I wanted was information on the nursing program. Then he asked if I did the financial aide, then he said " we cannot go forward if they didn't have my financial aide information and if I had a high school diploma. All I wanted was information about the nursing program, why would I give him all that information? He kept pressuring me. So, finally I said to him, I will not ho forward until I get information about the nursing program. I have applications pending at other nursing schools. And accepted to one. That guy is a weirdo and tries to get people to send over their financial aide.Jovanna Thomas

I'm a busy mom, worked full time until recently and have been working towards my Bach. Psychology with a minor in Spiritual Leadership. I've enjoyed every moment of my degree. The counselors have been phenomenal and the student financial aid department is both nice and helpful every time I've had to contact them. This isn't a slacker school. The courses are demanding and the knowledge you obtain is real. I love the flexibility online classes offers as I have two young boys at home and a full time job to keep up with. My experience here has deepen my faith and my confidence. I'm excited to say I'm CCU alumni class of 2017.Christina Haskell

I absolutely loved going to school here. I have made so many life long friendships and even met my husband here! Not only that, but I am friends with the professors here and still keep in touch with them. They have a fantastic missions department where students can lead trips across the world to share the Gospel. The campus looks nothing like what it did when I first started going there but it’s exciting to go back and see all the changes and upgrades they have. Ccu has a fantastic location right between the city of Denver and the mountains. There is always something exciting to do! I would definitely recommend it to anyone!Katie Fiola Jones

They let me down big time, took forever to get my financial aid appointment, they slacked on helping me as a first time student and caused me to be bumped out of the esthetisian course for the second time and they put me on a waiting list again saying the course is now filled up. The advisors don't communicate well and didn't do enough to ensure that process would come together. So now after all of my hard work to get in school they won't own up to the fact that they failed and put it back on me. Excuse me but they get a pay check to ensure a first time student succeeds. No going the extra mile here nor connecting the dots. Your just SOL if you think they care.E Green

It is like pulling teeth to get ahold of ANYONE here. I've sent several emails and voicemails. When (and if) someone does finally respond, they leave a very undetailed email. I never get a phone call back. I live an hour away from the school so "dropping in" isn't really an option. I was willing to move closer to the school if I got into their LPN program, but stopping by to be able to talk to someone is just a bit out of the way… I don't want to drive all the way down there for a few simple questions…Aimee Whatley

I love this school I did not do good in school my girlfriend encouraged me to go back and get my G.E.D . Then told me we should do nurse assistant class at the college i love all the instructors they are super helpful and push me to keep going. Ms.B ,Amy ,Mr.Gillmore and Mrs. Walsh are the best also ms.washington also recommend to everyone.!jacob marrujo

The Automotive Technology program is amazing. It covers everything you need to know in order to get a great beginning to intermediate level job in the industry. Mr. Martin and Mr. Werner are INCREDIBLE instructors that care about their students. However, Mr. Slaughter needs to be removed from the program. He is a good instructor, teaching wise… but he knows absolutely NOTHING about the automotive industry and has 0 experience working in a shop. From my understanding, they only hired him because 1 year classes are always so big they need to split it between Mr. Werner and Mr. Slaughter. It’s not fair to the kids who get Mr. Slaughter. I loved him as a teacher and he was very nice and helpful but he has no buisness being in an automotive based programJayln Cano

My last year of cosmo was when covid hit. It was extremely hard for me to do o line especially with things going on around the house. I then later on tried reaching out for help so I could prepare for state boards, but they were no help. I feel like it was extremely unfair to those who were almost done with the program when covid hit and not being to get help. I have my hours, I just didn't get the help I needed. It's about to be 2 years since I finished the course, and till this day I haven't been able to get the help I need to get my license. The cosmo director should understand how difficult it was for use and should have at least helped out.Selene Gonzalez

Awesome place to learn, I never thought I would come back to study after 14 years being away from school. In my age of school there were not much educational opportunities with easy access. The instructors and support members are there to show you the path, it's up to you how you go on your journey whether learning or just chilling. I hope I get through this and achieve what I have come for. Thanks to everyone at PickensSaid milad Akaberi

The welding department at Lincoln Tech of Denver has a lot of advantages. The teaching staff is awesome- Brian Bennett, Shane Kohn, Robert Rabino, Joel Lopez, Jerrod Brown, Joe, Todd. These guys have worked in the industry and they can answer almost every single question you could have. The facilities are top notch. There was always plenty of space to work. Plenty of welding machines to go around. And they were always stocked up on the necessary supplies for stick, MIG, and TIG. When it comes to learning how to weld, having the right tools and supplies is crucial. Lincoln supplies every student with a laptop and all the necessary tools a welder carries. The program was 7 months. The first month or so is all safety stuff and general theory of welding. After that, it’s pretty much all classroom time. I should say that with Covid, we had alternating days online, so I felt we got a lot more theory than we would have in previous years, but I think that’s a good thing in the end. Lincoln did a great job and adapting to covid and keeping students engaged while working from home online. Career services also does a great job. The welding department’s student rep, Joyce DeSantis, runs a tight ship helping students with resumes and job placement. Lastly, the Dean of Education, Dwayne Isbell, and the President of the school, Kelly Moore, both personally made themselves available for me when I needed them. I highly recommend Lincoln Tech of Denver. I definitely feel like my education from here is going to take me a long way. Oh and I got a job offer before I even finished school.Quinn Zimmer

I have almost finished the Auto program here at Lincoln Tech. Having prior experience in the field before enrolling helped me pick up a lot more from the teachers. The theory can be bland, but get through that and the teachers are very knowledgeable in the shop. One teacher stood out for me out of all of them; Steve Hatch. I identified with him pretty closely, as we both come from the mid-west US, and I gleaned more out of his three classes than I had over some periods of working in the field. I was apprehensive at first from hearing about Mr. Hatch from some of his prior students. I found very little truth in their words. He is perhaps the most fair and attentive teacher I got to learn under during my time with Lincoln Tech, and he has my gratitude for that. Other than the teachers, most of the shop equipment is kept in decent repair and plenty of tools are available. Some of the more specialized equipment, like the chassis and transmission dyno's, can only be operated by one of two of the teachers. That would be the one thing I would change at the school so no one has to miss dyno day.Joshua Lane

This education and all the help I got from Lincoln tech was exactly what I was wanting from life. I am all set with an amazing job in welding and fabrication at western industrial contractors! I couldn’t have done it without everyone helping me! Special shout out to Mr. Lopez for pushing me to be the best welder and always picking me up when I was down and when I finish my education the help from Joyce in job services was outstanding! Didn’t give up on me and is the reason I am at this job now. I love everyone at Lincoln and I hope other people see this and join their programs to succeed like I have. Thank you🤙🏽Chris Segura

My younger brother and his friends all go here to improve their math skills. So far this is the best school he's been to. This school is located in a quiet​​ and safe area. The teachers and staffs there are professional and friendly. The classroom​ is clean and well organized. Overall we are very happy about this place. Will definitely​ recommend​ it to our friends.Jeno Lenn

My experience with Club Z! is excellent. Son has only been tutoring for about 30 days and results have been fantastic. He now has a “A” average in Algebra and before Club Z! we were thinking about moving out of the Honors class. I highly recommend Club Z!Edgar Poe

I never felt confident with standardized tests after struggling on my ACT and SATs, however, James gave me the confidence that I needed to succeed. I would recommend their program to anyone who is uneasy about standardized tests.Alfredo Fairchild

I like this ESL courses. Teachers are very friendly and always pay attention to students. There are 5 levels and additional classes for writing, pronunciation etc, so you will be able to find what you exactly need. You can enjoy coffee, tea and cookies on breaks. The bus stop and the big Safeway parking lot are near the Center. You shouldn't buy any books and other materials, just pay for the level and have a fun 🙂 I love this place and glad I met good people there.Olena Gubatenko

This is a great place to learn and to improve English. Very good and nice teachers who give really good advices. There are 5 levels , a test is made before starting the session . Lot of students from different countries are there working together in a nice atmosphere. They provide documents or book during the class if needed without extra charge. Moreover there is parking. I highly recommend this place to learn EnglishMia Andria

I taught ESL in Dallas, Texas at the Aberg Center for Literacy. Loved it. Moved to Denver craving the same fulfilling experience. The energy here at the English Learning Center is amazing. There's an incredible sense of community between teachers and learners, learners and learners, and teachers and teachers. Even on ZOOM!Liza Orchard

This place is the reason I am where I am at today. I was a single mom of 3 kids with feeling hopeless and being another worthless person. They helped me with obtaining my cdl and I now bought my own home. I haven't been on TANF for 23 yrs. I am very greatful to this place. I didn't want to be one of those living off the system. They helped me be the independent strong women that my kids are very proud of. They definitely helped me realise I can be a strong willed si gle parent. Thank you so much Mi casaTina Springsteen

Fantastic resource center. The staff here truly cares about the people who walk or roll through their doors. The services that are provided and the access to resources is second to none. They give you the skills you need to succeed in business and life I'd recommend this center to anyone looking for steps to better your life. Shout out to Mrs. Dawson you truly made a large impact on my wifes life thank you for everything you've done for herDavid S

Mark was intuitive and thorough during the intake . Full of vital Information with a willingness to share his knowledge in hopes to help grow not only as an individual.. as a business as well. Several resources to get on the rite track .. thank youDjay Lott

Here, they offer vouchers for family and if you’re a single women with or without kids, I recommend this place for you. They also can give you food you can get warm food from inside they also help people with clothes warm food, kids stuffs diapers etc to go food bags regular food bags, hygiene supplies etc… its so clean inside the staff are helpful and nice they’ll also set you up with a social worker and they are nice enough to gave us a voucher for 3 days even tho they can’t because we have our Medicaid through Arapaho county they still have us at least 3 days I’m grateful for what they have done. They also give the homeless men food even tho their building is only for women❤️ if you ever planning on donating things anything, please donate to this place it’s worth more…Lil Joshy RG

What can I say about this place I am so grateful for every day that they are there for me I've been homeless off and on and they will more than happy to take your mail for you provide you with an amazing shower with clean towels I even needed a pair of socks and they gave me two pair before I left the women at the front desk are always so friendly and non-judgmental and the sack lunch they gave me yesterday was amazing for a turkey sandwich it was delicious and I'm so grateful that they helped me with that I had a busy day and didn't have time or the money to buy lunch anywhere thank you for being there gathering place are grateful for your presence!Cynthia Swinney

The Gathering Place is a day shelter for women. It's a fantastic resource where you can go to access services. You can use them for a mailing address, they have a roof top garden, computer lab, private showers, laundry (up to 2 loads every 2 weeks for free). They serve a hot breakfast, hot lunch and and afternoon snack before they close at 5 pm. They're open M – F from 8am…I think until 5 pm.Jess Bains

Beware scammers!! Give me my drivers license back or i will call the police for identify theft. You stole my drivers license and used it to steal my identity. Also beware of any church that helps you do your taxes. What are they checking w-2s and 1040s at the front door to make sure your tidding 10% quota? Jesus would be outraged and turn these tables over.Tom Moyer

These folks are a beacon of light in a dark world. Amazing (and well stocked) food back, ESL classes, free legal advice. A bit of a one stop shop for needs in Littleton. Give them a call and see if they can help you out. Oh, and did I mention karate classes, too? Awesome!Mike Ruman

Called twice last week and left two separate voicemail and no call back Went there last Friday afternoon after work spoke to Jose who told me that no one checked the voicemail and apologize for this and scheduled me for an appointment in Novemberalicia fuentes

Warren Tech has an exceptional varieties for students looking to get into careers or to further their education. There are accessibility ramps and the student body and faculty is kind, inspired, and ready to teach and learn. Because these programs are concurrent with High School education, the opportunities are endless, as well as having easy opportunities to get college credits, and certifications to get the jobs you want easier, and for higher pay. 10/10 Would do it again if I could. (Culinary Arts is the best program!!)Miriam Garza

This is an excellent school to attend during ones high school career, I personally have found it incredibly motivating and choose to believe that this school is the reason why i even had the energy to attend my home highschool. While Jefferson county chooses to make it as difficult as possible for students at their home highschool, the college credits earned, as well as the practical skills learned (Welding, cooking, 3D Design etc.) give more than enough reason to attend this school.Alexander Kroske

Warren Tech is an awesome school if you are interested in getting a head start in a college like environment because it prepares you for your future career or it sets you up for the workforce. this school is amazing because it's not the typical high school experience this school prepares you with hands on training.Chris C

The education here is very lacking. Not saying the teacher I had was bad or anything. But, the moment I even started classes I felt like I got ripped off of time and money. When there were supposed to be classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays 8 hours each day (totaling in at 16 hours per week). Instead I got 1 hour online per Tuesday and Thursday (2 hours per week). This school has gone downhill since covid happened. And I wouldn't recommend going here. The reason I give it two stars is cause the teacher I had was very good and understanding. Other than that the school is for a lack of better terms lacking, you don't get what you pay for, and seems to lack organizational skills when it comes to background checks, don't have good course work, ripped me off of time and money, etc. Edit: Got my credits sorted out for when I transferred to ACC. Maybe clear communication on where the credits can be transferred to for future students would help with less misunderstanding. I appreciate your help Tisha!X-Ella Rose

All schools are a hole to pour your money into. This one is no different just a little less money to dump into the ground. Thanks for never going above and beyond for your students. Thanks for providing us with the most minimalistic, cheap materials and the most inexperienced non-teachers who don't have a degree in teaching to help conduct the rest of our lives. This school doesn't care it's just cheap as hell. I'd look at other trade schools just based on quality of materials and and legitimacy of instructors.Jess Smith

While I was in the school I was pleased with it, but I took my nurse aide class during Coronavirus and I’m not allowed to come back in and practice, which I’m unhappy with. I felt like the school made sure we finished the class but after that didn’t care much whether we have the ability to practice the skills again in the environment we learned them in. I feel sort of left behind. Very minimal assistance unless you are a current paying student.A D

I had the pleasure of working at Spring Institute for six and half years, and I can tell you that its mission still resonates so strong with me. I previously managed the Colorado Welcome Back program where I had the privilege of helping internationally trained medical professionals navigate the re-licensure process. I witnessed first hand the impact that Spring Institute's programs and staff have on refugee and immigrant community members– from building confidence and community among students who attend English classes, gaining knowledge about health literacy so they can teach their children likewise, interpreting at that all too important medical appointment, instilling a sense of hope that they can practice in their field once again, and advocating for change in policies so that Denver can become the welcoming community it strives to become. I'm thankful that leadership gave me and other staff the agency to creatively design programs in ways that meet felt needs, seek the communities' input and participation, and provide necessary support along the way. It's rare to find that balance. This is an incredible, niche organization to be a part of. I'm really hard pressed to find comparable organization that brings out my passions as much as Spring Institute has.Carrie Miller

Good morning or afternoon guys! I would like to share my experience as participant spring institute for intercultural learning organization. Spring institute Empower people to succeed across all cultures and communities After joining spring institute as non profit organization help me to Improve my English as Second language and join career as an Educator and medical field as Medical interpreter even EKG Technician As my experience spring institute is the best organization to help new American community ( refugees & immigrants) to be integrated in USA community and involved in Different opportunities of Development such us getting job of your Dream and creating your own business after training owned by spring institute instructor In advance I recommend Refugees , Immigrant to join or request support and guidelines to spring institute intercultural learning organization. Please join spring institute intercultural learning organization if you need to achieve your Dream in USAAmani Isaac

This organization does a great job connecting new immigrants and refugees with the Colorado community through education, intercultural and other skill-oriented training and advocacy. I used to work here. In other reviews people write that this is a church, but it is not. This organization rents space in a large church building and is not affiliated with any religious organization. This is a great place to work if you want to make a difference and a great local nonprofit to support.Natalia Devlin

This program helped my son out tremendously! When we initially located tutoring services, my son was struggling a great deal with understanding his math work. With consistent attendance around our busy schedules, my son grew to understand the material so well that he made the Honor Roll and continues to thrive without the assistance of a tutor. The tutor we had was personable and extremely caring about my son's progress. We are extremely grateful for the experience and highly recommend this service for any student in need of assistance. Thank you Impact Tutoring!Dionne Voss

Front range community college is discriminatory against disabled people, classist, and invades your privacy. Were you aware of the fact that COVID is a mass disabling event ? What this means is that many who contracted it have “long covid” and other lasting effects after the virus has passed. Many people are now considered disabled. It’s horrible and sad. The individuals at this institution use “Honorlock” for certain online classes, this is a system in which, a web extension has access to a number of important information and data such as passwords to their sites, screen sharing, history, and cookies. Now this is the first I’ve seen of it and I’ve been attending a number of different classes here , online and in person. This is a violation of one’s privacy and also extremely ableist. They do not care about disabled people at this institution. Certain disabilities require a certain type of care. This honorlock system is humiliating, as they require a 360 scan of the room you are in amongst other bizarre requests. Like yes I would totally love for someone to see my heart monitor and IVs in my arm. NOT. This is humiliating and degrading , I feel like a circus freak being shown on display. Also some of us disabled people can’t lift the computer or laptop long enough for this 360 scan to happen. As well as this, the program is extremely classist. Not everyone has a home that is okay to be seen on camera (parents may be hoarders, addicts , etc)… and then to have this on display for a number of people to see is NOT okay. They do have an in person testing option, but this is NOT accessible due to certain disabilities and conditions (heart monitors, controlled temperature, autonomic dysfunction, need for IVs and other medical equipment). Also some can’t afford rides and other necessary things to get to the school in the first place. Living as a disabled person is already hard enough as is. Add trying to get an education to it and financial barriers, AND these idiots invading privacy and treating disabled people like second class citizens in the name of “honorlock”. Truly cringe. Hope you have the day you deserve. Thanks for reading.Colorado Reviewer

FRCC has issues. As with most places. But the good definitely out weights the bad at least in my experience. The staff are all for the most part good and have a pretty good handle on their classes as they are least treat you like a person and not a bank account. I only had one bad teacher from the English department but that's ok. The environment is great. Most of the people there are split between post high school students who are working to get better grades or adults who actually give a sh*t about their education. Most people keep to themselves at least, so if you work better in the environment that pushes classroom success over increasing social media then you'll fit in. The school looks nice and although it can feel like one long hallway, it at least feels welcoming. The cost is hit and miss. Most financial aid is applied and helps but dealing with the people can be difficult. If you can get everything taken care of online and not interact with the staff in that office as ouch as possible you'll be for the better. The counselors are also bad. Taking very little interest in you and just throwing classes at you to the point that you don't really know why this is in your degree and you end up wasting what should be a 2 year degree, gets turned into 4. At least you're learning stuff I suppose. FRCC is a mixed bag but leans more positive despite the issues..kevin whiteford

Military veteran information. I am a USAF veteran attending FRCC under the VR&E program. I am halfway through my fourth semester. This college in my experience and from talking with other veterans I have met on the campuses, FRCC has in my experience a small and or almost non existing veterans administration department/program. They have rooms offered for use by veterans paid for by our government almost certainly to this private institution, but offer little to no services. There is no active club for members. I have been misled and blatantly lied to by one individual who introduced himself as the Westminster veterans representative. There is no communication and only one representative who is available only two days a week, he is a great advisor and a great guy and not my issue. I am very disappointed in this college as a USAF veteran as I have had very limited assistance and always late results in everything VA related, from tuition to the bookstore and even my bah. Think twice and or ask many questions before you use your hard earned and well deserved benefits at this college, maybe you will get answers I could not. A great campus with amazing staff From the faculty to the bookstore and front desk. That is the most disappointing thing of all that I have to rate them 1 star but as a veteran that is the least I can give you.Gary Starita

This is by far the worst most unprofessional educational institution I have ever had the misfortune of dealing with. I wanted to take a CCNA certification course so I went to speak to adviser to get more info and to get a quote for tuition so I could save and avoid financial aide. When I spoke to the adviser (Misty) she quoted me for a 3 credit class and told me to sign up in November. When I came back in Nov, she could not get me registered into the class. She called the director of the program (Eric Vahling ) for assistance but he never answered her. Note, in the month prior I sent Mr. Vahling multiple emails and left voicemails and he would never return them. I had to camp out of his office and catch him to get help, he told me there was not enough interest so the class was off, sucks I had to hunt the man for that info but whatever. i enroll in another school, 2 weeks before it starts, Eric calls me to say the class is back on and to sign up asap. The class didn't let me sign up, I had to get Misty to override me into a class that wasn't full. 2 days later, Eric emails the class and lets them know an adviser must enroll us, THANKS! So class starts and I got to pay tuition to find it is 4x what I was quoted. I call Eric to inquire, no answer, I call his boss, Victor Vialpando, no answer. i show up at Victor office and find him, he says the adviser quoted wrong and there was nothing I could do and to go file a grievance, THANKS. I got down to financial aide to confirm and they say I have until the 6th, then I check my syllabus and it says the 4th, now I have 3 different dates so i'm confused. So I ask Denise in financial aide who else I could talk to if the dean and director didn't help and she gives me the number for the dean of students and vice president. I called them and the vice presidents assistant David did try to help, he was my first good resource so far. A weekend passes and I decide if all this has happened before the class started, I better withdraw and avoid further mess. I try and it says I can because i'm too late despite my syllabus and course schedule saying different. I rush to the school and see Rebecca in advising, I gave her the documentation showing the withdraw date had not passed and she got me withdrawn, Rebecca was a big help in this process. I urge everyone to look elswhere when it comes to a school, lower admin is not concerned with students and their success. Eric Vahling should not be responsible for any students educational career in any form or fashion. Ms. Reyna Anaya, Rebecca in advising, John Young and David Murphy were the only people who even cared enough to listen to what i had to say. Google restricts review length or this would be so much more detailed but do your own research, previous reviews are very similar. There are plenty of other schools that have your best interest in mind, for the most part this school is not one of them. With all the foreign students at this school, Im sure many have been screwed over by the lack of attention displayed by faculty here. I will do everything I can to steer people away until they get their act together, not sure who to report this stuff to but ill figure it out. They still have my account under another students name after I informed them of the error months ago. Finally, if Eric Vahling is the director of whatever program you are interested in, GO SOMEWHERE ELSE BECAUSE HE DOES NOT CARE ABOUT YOU AND WILL OT HELP YOU.Delux 2471

The school has two campuses, both in aurora. It's very nice looking and the staff is usually helpful on your first day there. The classes are a good size and its always a hit or miss if you get a teacher that actually knows how to teach, but that is at every school. I would advise you be prepared to be on the phone for 30+ mins if you have any questions and lots of miscommunication after your first day. This school has the potential to be great if it would take the steps to train their employees to know how to do their job. I was told several different things about the steps i needed to take next in order to receive my financial aid, i was lied to about the amount of time i had to find a work study job, and when i finally found a job i was told i was over qualified. Please tell me how a student is over qualified for work study…. Staff seems to play around and chat with each other more than paying attention to students who need help. You would think students being an employee of the school would make a difference. It appears to me that some students are honestly there to just have fun and not help other students out. I needed to talk to a student to get information about one of my extra curricular activities and not one of them knew what to do. It took two weeks for me to get the correct information i needed. And after expressing my frustration with one of the staff members in charge, they shot back at me as if it was my fault that their staff didn't have the knowledge to help me succeed even though that is there job. It makes me wonder if these things are the reason their drop out rate is so high. Not being able to get a human being on the phone to know how to accept loans for school is the very first problem. If you can't help students accept their payment forms for college how are they going to even be motivated to go? CCA needs to do a better job of caring about its students and who it chooses to higher to work there.Kendice W

The most unprofessional college I have ever attended. I worked in the Veterans office and didn't get paid for two months (2015), due to my boss not sending in paperwork. Veterans were also not getting their paperwork or payments. I returned for tax paperwork to give VA disability and they just have "no record" of me. However, I have documentation and proof of the year I worked there. I went through the Veterans Office to get the paperwork, waited 2 whole months with no return call and physically going into the office three separate occasions. Next, I talked to two different ladies in HR (I won't mention names), she was supposed to give me paperwork that just stated I worked there, not even the paperwork I needed, that was 4 weeks ago. This college really tried to cover up the incident, and years later it is still affecting me due to not being able to get the proper paperwork from them. The only good thing about here is the classes are cheap, but they also are at the rest of the 13 community colleges in network.Anna Smith

This is a community college, not a university, I expected there to be some ups an downs. My teachers are hit and miss, but I feel even at a university that is still a strong possibility. For a school like this you don't really need the teachers to be stellar, a lot of the work is very doable if you put any kind of effort in, most of the required text alone will tell you everything you need to know about the class. Now, for a community college there's some amazing things they pull off. There have been noble peace prize winners visit, travel study like the civil rights road trip, community programs that tie into school curriculum…The teachers who do take their jobs seriously will see that you use the coursework set before you be applied in the real world. The campus and environment feels welcoming and of course its cheap to go here. Now…not everything here runs as smoothly as you hope. The student clinic is barely open and the one time I did go they didn't even have a nurse to help me. The few times I have bee to the cafeteria the cooks didn't have enough food to serve, my first tour of the school the guide didn't know anything about the programs or services and if you need help with tutoring the available people are very limited on what courses they can cover. I've come to Red Rocks strictly to get my prerequisites out of the way and because I do enjoy learning. I don't make a lot of money and don't have a lot of resources. While I haven't explored everything available to me at Red Rocks I have enjoyed the experience. Coming here does mean teaching yourself to an extent, but it can be beneficial, if anything I wished I enrolled sooner.mendez5525

Went to Red Rocks for 3 years before graduating from Mines 2 years later. College has made my life so much better and I owe most of my education to the teachers here. They helped establish the base of knowledge which was rigorously tested at Mines. The best secret I can let you all in on, is that the teachers at Red Rocks were far superior in their teaching skills than at Mines. Many times Mines classes were taught by mid 20’s grad and doc students who never taught or had a desire to teach but finances and degree programs force them into it. Not to take anything away from Mines, its a great place to finish your education, just giving the inside scoop on something I wish I would have known before transferring. The teachers at Red Rocks are professionals, they love to teach which is why they teach at a community college. 11 out of 10 for really caring and being dedicated to education. Semesters and teachers have their ups and downs but overall my experiences at Red Rocks will always be one of the greatest and most fulfilling chapters of my life. A great place to get started on a new path in life!Matt Morris

The teacher are super great! I liked the online curriculum, the accounting is unprofessional. They sent notice to my parents (who I don't live with) that my scholarship was getting cancelled for lack of credits, I got a opportunity at work and had to drop classes. My parents reached out to me letting me know and I reached out and found out that I had a 3k bill due and it was affecting my credit score and my scholarship had been cancelled, I never got notice on my personal email or a phone call. Now I don't have money to take classes next semester, my credit score is down 30 points and i don't have food to eat for a week. I am 19 and you would think a collage would be dedicated to helping set up students for life would have better communication with there students. If I was given more notice I could have had more than 3 days to put together 3k and could have prevented getting the scholarship cancelledRiley Burns
