20 Best G.E.D Programs In Manhattan, NY (2022 Updated)

A good school where you get out what you put in. Many trains stop within walking distance and buses as well. Just like any college, depending on your major, you will find good and bad professors. So always make use of the rate my professor website. I had a very pleasant experience. The administration was more competent than other schools I went to and my issues were always solved within a reasonable amount of time. The facilities I had to use for my major were in even better condition compared to some four year schools. The wifi coverage was good. Plenty of cafeterias with the best one being in the E building. Plenty of food trucks with different types of foods. Lots of seating areas with electrical ports. The class scheduling was workable with enough sections to fit almost everyone. Can't speak for any other major but it felt like that overall. They are always hiring new adjuncts so it's not the same professor teaching that one section you need all the time that everyone says is horrible. Always stay on top of your things if you want to have them resolved quickly. That's the part you play in your college years. The hand holding stops after High School. All I can say is, relax a little and have some fun. At the end of the day grades won't show the strength of your character after all is said and done.Mounia B

It seems like professors like the one I got Professor Arnold who acts likes she is going through the motions and don't there . i felt I waste my time and money which I paid out of pocket in her class and is thinking about leaving the college. She is one of the worst teachers/professors i ever had . I think cause it a community college a lot of them are mad cause they can't teach in a four year college through out of the community colleges in NY LaGuardia is the best . That being said she is the third professors that I had that sleeps walks through their class and I had another one that did something that weren't cool and I didn't show up for her class and never got an apology from her. I say if you over 30 years like me this college is not for you. I never had problems with anything else in the college but the professors cause I expect more and I also think cause the college got a lot of non white american people that they slack a lot and that's sad.clyde sparks,jr

Im currently in my last year at LaGuardia (majoring in business) and i have to say the Business department is full of AMAZING professors. Classes are really easy (most of them except accounting unless you're good at it) and the students are cool. I, personally, never talked to anyone or made any friends because I'm not an outgoing person. The school is constantly going under renovations and they just finished the new library and it looks AMAZING, as if it was a library from an ivy league. Food isn't that great but what do you expect, its school food [not free of course]. For people who are curious about the diversity of this school, these are my personal percentages of what i see; 20% – Asian 20% – African American 30% – Hispanic 30% – White/European Overall, its a good school to just do your 2 years in and get out.Paul The Pigeon

The only reason ppl go here and are willing to grossly pay for an education is the location. I went to school here and will say it is far overpriced for the education you are given. Some staff are great and really care about the education they are providing. Others just read off a powerpoint and have no interest except for a paycheck. Career services ask if you want to be reached out to and say they will help but its not in their interest. At the NYC campus the administrative and financial aid staff are blatantly rudeRyan Ryan

Pace is expensive, doesn't help the students getting internships and when the students get one on their own, Pace takes the credit. After graduating, the students don't get a job. One of their alumni just got a good job and due to she owes money, they don't give her transcripts and are retaining her title. Is not possible for Pace to help when the students really need help? It is not possible to set a plan of payments?.Cristina Chaves

This is a good school. However, the quality is almost identical to the CUNY school I attended before coming here that costed significantly less. Additionally, the lack of diversity (granted, because of how this is a private school) is also lacking. I am happy to be graduating from here from a grant through the NYC Department of Education for free, and in all I enjoyed my experience here.Mr. Luppino

I really can’t explain what I went through with the staff, so unprofessional and the attitude is horrible I always try to be as nice as possible but the way they treat people is awful. They literally screamed at my mom who does not speak any English for not having her vaccine card with her although she had picture of the vaccine but her phone was dead they yelled at her and did not try to help her enter the building at all. Once I came and approach them they was talking to me with awful attitude and yelling at me!!!!! although I respect the policy but they always could help in situation like this making everything 10X harder and unprofessional behaviour. Please Lehman collage train your employees and staff it’s just seem that they was not train at Enough to deal with people!!A

One of its kinda school Historic place as it is more than 100 year old school CUNY’S most iconic campus so far As building is quite old, construction is going on still it’s worth taking a walk here Lush green gardens and beautiful library plus awesome walkways and old concert hall and other buildings. Library staff is too friendly and easy going and so is the library too They have open tables with solar panels which is awesome Lots of environmental hazards are there which can be dangerous. Work need to be done on that for sure else it can have some dangerous results Overall a good place to come and seatTaksh Shah

Lehman College is a 4 year college. Offering over 50 majors in Biology, Accounting, Environmental Science, Journalism and more. Affordable tuition and an amazingly beautiful scenic campus. Staff is professional. For information regarding Financial Aid, Deadlines and General information contact college or visit their website. Located near public transportation.Natasha M Jordan

If I could, I would easily give York a ZERO RATING! NOTHING against the professors I’ve come across, but the school, policy and registrar/bursar staff and policy are ridiculous. I have been charged, during the pandemic I might add FULL. I clearly withdrew from summer classes and was literally ONE day passed the 100% refund date. After, I spoke continuously with bursar who kept sending me back to registrar. ALL professors assisted in submitting documentation showing I DID NOT CONTINUE in the ONLINE courses. Although I submitted required, and accurate paperwork documenting the WHY I could not complete the summer session, this greedy school is charging me ONE HUNDRED PERCENT for courses that their own records reflect that u withdrew from. Again, let me reiterate this was at the time of a Pandemic. I am now not able to register or do anything until this balance is paid. I think this school is deplorable, too much of the staff is unprofessional and not helpful At all! They’re dismissive and there is never any considerations or flexibility offered. It’s so much more-For the upcoming college youth- there are many schools to choose from within the CUNY system- I would advise, save yourself possible headaches and anguish and choose Somewhere else to attend!Bridget Cros

If you can, avoid this school. Majority of the staff are unprofessional, lazy and do not seem to take their job seriously. Imagine emailing your professor and days, or even up to week plus passes by with no response. Some professors to avoid, Darrell Morris- extremely unprofessional acts as if he's paying us to be there and not the other way around. Does not actually teach anything, except the one time he was being evaluated. Does not respond to emails. Never comes on camera. Samuel Olagun- jeez where do I begin. Just do not take him. Arrogant, condescending, rude, unresponsive. Evan Owens- spent most of the semester focused on his graduate work than our class. Gave the same grade to everyone in our group project even though 2 people did no work. They earned a free A. Overall the school is a nightmare and I am so happy that I have never had to step foot on this campus. They act like they are doing you a favor instead of their jobs. There's a few decent professors like Professor Presier, but they are few and far in between. Believe what you hear and come across about this school and the staff.Crystal H

Lovely campus and easily seen from the street. The school is close to public transportation. The campus houses a high school and an elementary school. The grounds can use some work and some more public art installations. The cemetery is gated but plenty of history ardorns the head stones. The indoor exhibit of The Tuskegee Airmen is worth visiting the campus. The stundent art galley is the best. Ask security for accessibility for people with disabilities. Security at the gate will ask of I. D. He is very pleasant and awesome with directions. Most staff/faculty are helpful too. Better to get assistance from the more experienced staff. They are quite knowledgeable. The food is pricey for college life, but the chicken Marsalis, peas & rice, Mac & cheese and green beans with show string beans cut carrots was a tasty pleasant delight. The logistics of the buildings are identified in letter quadrants to help navigate your way through the buildings. For example 1B 106 would be on the 1st floor in the "B" section. The Art department is quite amazing.MsLisaLive NYC Local Guide

My name is Meir Uteshov and I am a recent graduate of ASA College, class of 2015. As F-1 visa international student, I would say that ASA College is a great place for our educational and career goals. Professors are responsive and very collaborative as well as helpful. During my education in ASA College I was able to make friends with students from different parts of world. The most of them are my lifetime friends now. Classes are not too big. Therefore, providing a tremendous opportunity to study and excel your knowledge and/or skills. I would recommend international students to study in ASA College if they want to be ready to compete within existing job market and get a job they are looking for. One of the benefits of ASA College is providing an internship opportunity. My internship experience in engineering company was extremely interesting and fulfilling where I gained a valuable and measurable work experience. All in all, the college is great for those who is determined and dedicated in favor of their future career/professional goals.Meir Uteshov

Coming from a foreign country, ASA gave me the opportunity and platform to really become a great version of myself and for that I'll be forever grateful. I've had so many good experiences in this school, the professors are amazing and the support for the student activities are wonderful beyond belief. The diversity, location and career services are only a few of their many great aspects. I was able to get a job opportunity at a very prestigious organization using the skills learned at ASA. I am currently in the student government and getting involved with projects that will look good on my resume and open even more doors for my future academic and professional self. I recommend this school to everyone looking to learn skills you actually use in the real world and with an interest of having an active student life. I promise you all the hard work will pay off!Esthefania Abreu

ASA College gave me the opportunity to get my first degree in Medical Assisting in the USA, and also to gain useful experience through work in the admission office. That was even more convenient for me to have school and work in the same building. The professors were very accessible, understanding and always ready to assist with any help or piece of advice. I will never forget them. Good thing is that every student have their advisor to help them with academic issues. The most helpful department at ASA College turned out to be the Career Services which assisted me with my first interview preparation. I can't thank them enough for help with my resume and with job application. After my internship they found me a job in medical field right after my graduation. All that helped me to become more confident and determined to go for my goals! Thank You ASA College!Joanna Nienaltowska

The college has won multiple awards from the CUNY system as well as other institutions for its ability to grant Associate's Degrees at an impressive rate and to foster continuing education at senior colleges. With a respectable teacher-to-student ratio, significant public and private funding, and a central location in New York City, the learning experience has been covered by many publications and studied by experts. However, BMCC also suffers from a large rise in remedial education, lack of freshman retention, and overcrowding. Due to its larger base of capital compared to most other two-year colleges, expansion of new campuses during the rebuilding of Fiterman Hall was possible. Several trailers are still used as classrooms to this day in order to help expand capacity. Internal programs have also been created or expanded to help with academic advisement, provide online access for registration, transferring to other colleges, and job placement. A diverse student base, some of whom had immigrated to America shortly before enrolling, also makes tailoring a viable solution difficult. Improving the retention and graduation rate as well as the increased financial and academic burdens of a remedial program still remain a considerable problem. The Center for Career Development (CCD) provides students with comprehensive career planning services. Its professional career counselors assist students in making informed decisions about an area of study; research occupations that match their personal interests; write a resume; practice interviewing, and help them prepare as candidates for internships and employment. Students also learn to clarify their career goals, develop effective communication and interpersonal skills, conduct job searches, and develop a digital portfolio for employers to view as evidence of their skills, accomplishments and professional qualifications. In addition, CCD partners with New York Needs You, the New York office of America Needs You, to host career-oriented events and seminars to bring industry insights to its students.Nesar Ahmed

edit, update: ended up coming to the conclusion that because all of this uncertanty and my bad living situation I am dropping out, I did all I could, was not met halfway by anone but professors unless I begged here. do not go here if you're poor. Just, no. I can't take it anymore. I've tried to explain my situation to this school multiple times, and I'm left to struggle on my own. I am starving, housing insecure, financially unstable, and unable to make ot to class or properly study because of financial struggle, inability to be alone a place quiet to study because they won't house, and depression. In the end they want to fail you out so you can pay them fees later, I guarantee. I'lll gladly take my review down if it's actually a thing they decide they really want to help me with, only after I have been actually helped, and not as in, money grant to help my situation I never recieve, or new housing program email I apply for and am swiftly rejected because I am not enrolled just enough just yet due to circumstances that are once again not entirely my fault because when I applied here I intended to be taking 16 credits not 7. A joke, an absolute waste of my time and so so much heartache.Jens Åhlund

Very diverse. You can see all kind of people over here. Most of the students and staff are friendly. Environment is good. Friendly neighborhood. If you are hungry, you can find all types of food around the building. It has 26000 student. It also has a big cafeteria, big library, big quiet study place for study and a lot more . All in all this is one of the best college.S M Shuvo

WORST.SCHOOL.EVER!! I hope they close down for good VERY SOON! There's no motivation or inspiration at all in this school whatsoever. The counselors and teachers are horrendous!! For every 5 teachers there, only 1 teacher is decent! They hold back their students far too long from achieving their true potential and don't even get me started on the atrocious time consuming and full of adversity enrollment process!! If you're still stuck taking a remedial/non credit class; instead of being able to register online LIKE IT SHOULD BE FOR EVERY STUDENT, you're instead forced to go all the way to Valhalla to register for classes EVERY semester until you've passed ALL their pointless non credited classes! Very excruciating and appalling for any student! Their counselors are always putting down students, not one can potentially uplift you when it comes to succeeding in school. This school is entirely all a scam. They will give you classes that do not pertain to your major and leave the big fat F on your transcript if you fail it, even if you're a Math and Science student that was given a social worker class that has absolutely nothing to do with your program!!!Toki Sing

Miserable place. Professors don’t care. They have people who don’t speak English teaching the math department. Those in the financial building are miserable, uninformative and rude. Nobody communicates!! Financial Tells you one thing and the counselors say something different. Totally unorganized and made my college experience a miserable one. They prioritize minorities and even questioned me on why I’m not on financial aid. Teachers WILL fail you if you don’t agree with their POLITICAL views. Community college is supposed to be affordable, but they manage to shake you down for every little penny. Save your time and money and go somewhere where they actually CARE about student success.Dev Langer

I was pretty skeptical about going back to school during this plandemic and now that I’m back in school, I wish I would’ve saved my money. The website says lab classes will be conducted online but it’s actually remote. If you want to pay full tuition for a partial education, then this is the place for you. The people who work in the administrative building specifically the Bursar’s office don’t care. The administrative building is physically closed so the only way to communicate is via email. I have been emailing the manager of the Bursar’s office, Marcia, for weeks to no avail. No one cares, they just want your money. A money sucking machine.Schneia Robinson

Hopefully they remove all the creepy staff…. Counselor Camacho has stalked more than one friend on IG. There's a whole reddit page exposing the staff but touro doesn't fire anyone or care about the studentsTaylor Oh

Great education with professional team of professors and location is perfect , also not cost a fortune just like others.Burhan Sebin

I stayed at the Third Street shelter for a short time but I was profiled both as being white and Jewish. Quanda Delande, the woman in charge of this otherwise wonderful shelter with the kindest, sweetest, most hard working and helpful staff, gunned for me from the moment we met. She made anti-semitic comments and baited other residents to attack me, black residents, drunk residents, residents she told I was racist and when they did, I was the one who was forced to leave, along with my only friend in that shelter, who happened to be black. Quanda Dalande is a terrible person and it's terrifying that someone who hates the Jews she works for so much that it effects the way she runs a Jewish owned shelter. I considered suing but honestly, she is her own worse revenge and she knows it. You can catch her in knee high lace up 6 inch boots smoking in front of the shelter with the residents because not only is she evil, she is also trashy. Were it not for her, I would have given this shelter 5 stars.Anais Nin

The Parenting classes were wonderful when Ms.Baker was leading them. When Ms. Young took over as a director of the entire program she had no accountability for her actions. I reached out to her in Dec to check my progress to remain on track I didnt hear back from her until Feb. She never answered my email but reached out to My ACS worker. When I tried to recieve a valid explanation from Ms. Young she told me that they were in transition and she simply forgot. In turn this is your life and although I tried to be accountable on my own part I was hung up and spoke to very nasty. I will not be continuing classes with them. As a director her title requires a different level of professionalism. She does not exude or model that behavior.Brandi Baxter

Regarding Summer Fun Saturdays at Dry Dock Playground, I think it is great that you host events for the community. However, I don't understand how having a dj blast music at the highest levels in a residential community is beneficial to all the senior citizens that live in the buildings that border this playground. Yes, Avenue D is a residential community. We have an ill parent that we had to relocate today given the music blasting all day. Shame on you, HSS!Anonymous

This is the best accredited medical school. HANDS DOWN!! At first I was a little skeptical with my choices but I thank God that I made the best decision. The lecturers are so perfect and they make you understand everything in the simplest form , not only the lecturers but career services (Ms.Sabrina Lewis) stayed with me until I got the job , she gave me the answers to ALL the interview questions and SURPRISINGLY guys I'm employed with an OB gyn on the Upper East side. I promise guys, you wont regret your choice. DR.NINEL WAS MY FAVORITE INSTRUCTOR!!!!Merkida Florenville

Horrible rude staff. Don’t care about your education but care if you’re wearing their uniform or not. Sabrina is very unorganized and I didn’t have any good experiences with her. Most if not all of my class mates hated their time there because staff and teachers are USELESS. I wouldn’t be surprised if the good reviews on here were fake because in my whole year there i never once heard anyone say anything good about this school. ( I see most reviews aren’t made by MA’s so that might be why different classes different teachers (sometimes).Boba Gobbler

I graduated March,2022 from the Medical assistant program and start my career at Brookdale hospital this month 5/2022; this certificate and experience was so worth it! So many people were helpful but those who stood out most to me were Mr. Sheppard , Dr. Yasir, Dr. Thomas, Mr Soto, and Mrs. Keller these people were amazingly warm and helpful yet stern when needed and for your learning experience. Hope you have an amazing experience -k washFRAMEGOD TM

Very HELPFUL !! +Professional! I’m very grateful how they assisted me !!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! I’m 54 years old! And thanks to the teachers here !!!

I’m living proof that IF I COULD DO IT x amount of years later !! THANKS TO THIS SCHOOL! anyone can! Don’t give up! And get the PUSH+POSITIVITY THAT I WAS GIVEN IN THIS SCHOOL !!!

My children (34;33;30&28) are very PROUD OF ME AND EVEN IMPRESSED (: THANK YOU !!! 🙏Sancia Gonzalez

First I would like to express that your search for a GED school has come to an end, this is the place to be, you won’t regret it, I’m sharing from my own experience, this school is very unique. And there isn’t any other School that can come close to what they do at chrome institute! My experience attending this school was phenomenal. Great staff, Amazing customer service, the teachers are hands on with everything. They are patient, kind, and willing to work with you step by step until you understand what’s being taught. You guys are in great hands! I highly highly highly recommend this school to anyone that is in search of getting their high school diploma in 6weeks or less.. invest in yourself!! 😊natasha pyrus

I can't believe I made it through this journey. I obtained my diploma thanks to the school and amazing teacher, Nick. He is very motaticle when it comes to teaching and has plenty of patience to deal with 20+ students. I wish I had teachers like him back in high School. He gave me confident and I put the effort to study his teaching and it paid off. I have my high school diploma, now I can go and pursued a career. Thank you so much Nick and rosemary. It's a great school I highly, highly recommend.Jose Lopez

I just started taking classes and we started with the coloring module, I learned so much about neutralizing and the color whenever and how different hair colors work with each other, what to do and what not to do especially when it come to box dyes and other artificial hair color. It’s an amazing experience, I’ve made friends inside and outside of my class and we’re all able to share our experiences with our own hair. Im learning so much about how to care for my own and others hair in the best way possible and it’s greatStephannie Perez

I've been having a wonderful time at this school. My teacher Mr. O is always patient, informative, and very experienced. I feel prepared for every assignment and project, and I'm getting the chance to show my creativity in a way that suits me. I've shared some photos of my work so far in this review. I'm never turned down by my teacher when I have questions or something to add to the conversation. I'm gaining the skills I need to achieve what I want to achieve. #ebstalentBrett Everette

The classes and environment is super fun. Ms Deborah is amazing!! And goes super in depth with everything and willing to explain everything as many times as the students need without judgment. Everyone is super nice and I feel that I’m learning so much and it’s only been a week! I have faith that I’ll pass my state board on my first try. No doubt. Will definitely recommend this school to anyone trying to receive a license in cosmetology. I love this school.Kimberly Medrano

This school is garbage. They can’t even find teachers who want to teach here and when they do they might not even have a degree or know what they’re talking about. (GOOGLE GOES A LONG WAY) the teachers have nasty attitudes specifically Ms dascher who has been there a few years so they won’t fire her. Don’t mind making a complaint to the director it’ll get ignored. Mr Okundaye who brings his personal problems to school and tries to make you miserable right along with him (again no disciplinary action when my whole class told the school he’s a horrible teacher) They are probably all mad from the low salary they receive since the school is federally funded. They don’t care about your success… just that a behind is in a chair so they can get paid. One thing though ms Nicholas the math teacher is brilliant!!! They got one star for me solely because of her. The rest of you suck and I’m not bringing your books back. Peace.Tayla Boyd

BEOC is a very good school, they have TASC Program nursing tech, micro soft, college readiness. ect..i've learned a lot already in a short time . the teacher works with you in your level, and if you don't understand your class work they'll assign you to a tutor. The tutor are friendly and helpful, they help you understand the work you need help in. BEOC also has an attain lab with and ISI or AZTEC, in this Lab you can work on your own, and brush up on your weak points. the lab coordinators are also very helpful. if you need any other help with your work ,you can ask the lab coordinator or the advisor to set up a buddy group, these buddy groups are helpful because it allow you to learn from others and visaversa you can' go wrong . i have a lot of tools i can use to better myself .luz solla

Still waiting for the OSHA 30 Certificate class to start since January. They make you sign up online (really hard to navigate btw) to notify me when classes start. fast forward until today….Still no updates. I constantly try to email the offices and they keep telling me the same thing "classes do not start yet" for like the 12th time now through out the last 3 month. It would be more convenient if there were a date to look forward to or give me a more honest reason as to why there arent any classes yet. Very unsatisfiedronald bernal

(Translated by Google) The best place to study and actually get your GED. Other places just give you promises and you only spend your money. The good thing is that you take the exams right here. I highly recommend them. (Original) El mejor lugar para estudiar y realmente sacar tu GED. Otros lugares solo te dan promesas y solo gastas tu dinero. Lo bueno tambien es que aqui mismo tomas los examenes.Los recomiendo muchoSupreme Self

Honestly I had a great experience here. Niko made sure I got my diploma in the matter of a week and a half. They make you feel comfortable and they treat you like family. They keep they’re word and they really know how to teach they’ll make sure you understand everything before taking your test. I highly recommend them prices are reasonable and it’s a great environment to be in. Thanks again!Taleb Abdul Rahman

(Translated by Google) I really like this school really care about helping students. They are the best without a doubt. (Original) Me gusta mucho esta escuela realmente se preocupan en ayudar a los estudiantes. Son los mejores sin duda.Ada Sanchez

I had my Cams Exam scheduled at this center today. I have been calling their main number since a week now just to make sure they are open and other incidentals. But you call any time of the day and no one picks up. They don't even have a voicemail set up to leave a message . I even called at 10 am this morning (their opening time) and they didn't pickup. I even sent an email 2-3 days ago asking the same question and no answer yet. Anyways I reach there today, about to park and the technician calls me( mind you , not anyone in the office/ manager/in charge) to let me know that I won't be able to take my exam as their computers are not working.So I said ok let me reschedule and I called PearsonVUE to reschedule. They had to call the center to confirm what I was telling them, but ofcourse no one is picking up at the Chrome institute. They were telling me that until they confirm with an authorized person from Chrome institute , I won't be resecheduled. So now my fate lies in the unprofessional hands of the Chrome institute . After an hour of PearsonVue trying to get in touch with the Chrome Institute , they gave me a case #. Then a lady calls back from Chrome institute and I ask her why no one is picking up these days , she tells me because no one is by the phone , they have to be with the test takers . I am like ok, then how come there is no voicemail set up for anyone to leave a message so you can call back. She has the nerve to tell me that she must have called and I didn't pickup. I have no missed calls from Chrome Institute from the past 1 week I have been calling them . She also has no answer why a professional test taking institute does not have a voicemail set up. Also she tells me she will check my email now . I told her forget about it because the time has passed and my exam is already been messed with . I will not be rescheduling my exam at this center or recommend any one to go through the same aggravation. They need better system set ups if personnel is a problemSulabha Verenkar

I am very upset , every time I call there is no answer , no one calls back , there is no voicemail and I can’t understand how when I ask to speak with a manager there isn’t any other person in the office other then the one lady that takes weeks to pick up , it’s hard speaking with her due to the Language barrier ,I feel that they should have more then one person answering phones. She once told me she would check my info and call back but never did I had to call for three more days before getting back in touch , just for her to not remember who I am or what was going on . I have one more test to pass to complete my diploma. This place was recommended by my original school in south Jersey but at this rate I’m going to have to travel back to south Jersey to take my test when I literally live in the next town over from where this school is located .Nafiza Webster

I took my PMI-CAPM exam at this testing center on Saturday, June 13th 2020. The center is clean and tidy. All the rules and instructions were carefully followed by the administrator. Also, in consideration of the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak, all the guidelines provided by Pearson VUE were carefully followed. The administrator measured my temperature before admitting me in. I was also provided a locker where I could keep my personal belongings while I am taking my exam. Parking is also easy to find. There are three parking lots near this institution with a radius of 0.5 mile. Overall experience was great. I highly recommend Chrome Institute to anyone who is looking for a good testing center near north part of Hudson County, New Jersey.Arjun Singh Chauhan

I have been trying to get my surgery done for YEARS! well over a decade. My insurance did not accept any of my request out of all 4 times previously applying. I decided to go to Destination Tomorrow when i found out there was a specialist for transgender women who walked through the same experiences I wish to walk through, I decided to give it another shot. I was assigned to Jahaira Gonzalez and she helped me get to the correct doctor that has experience dealing with my insurance. She also helped me with getting the right dermatologist so that I can have treatment on a issue i have been insecure about with my facial features. I have been waiting for years and years, I am so excited and cannot wait for the completion of my journey. This has been the most resource I have ever received and I can honestly say I am truly happy, comfortable and blessed.Krystal Witta K

TBH if you need assistance be 💯 and upfront don’t be reserved and scared it is what it is get help before it’s too late it’s not a lot of help in The States other than Chicago Cali Portland Seattle Albuquerque Austin real help is limited ATL is overcrowded shelters are crammed packed be realistic about your situation and needsMelanie Contreras

To God be the Glory.. Jahaira is the best.. It was a true blessing to have met her n the rest of the staff.. I believe it would be a wonderful experience to work with them.. Mel he is down to earth n open to great ideas.. Looking foward to come aboard the DT team..Sonja Williams

Her name is Mrs. Gastal UnprofessionalSancia S

The staff work very hard to work with you and try to help you get around any obstacles you may have that stop you from completing your high school equivalency. They even have a counselor on staff. The instructors actually care & teach not just repeat things from the book.Cleo V

This is the place where dreams come true. They will guide you in the right direction with acquiring a GED and vocational training for free!Genny Sanchez

I was a student at Grace Outreach back in 2016 – 2017. I graduated with my HSE (Completed all 5 tests (reading, writing, math, social studies, science) on the TASC Exam). They charge a one time fee and give you a calculator for the Math Exam. They also interview you to see if you are serious about sticking with the school, until completion or until its your time to graduate. So, do be serious about attending classes daily unless there is an emergency. They also give out vouchers to students with medical issues to take the elevators, so, be mindful if you don't have a voucher then you will be taking the stairs am I and many students have. My experience was a positive one and I really retained a lot of information more than any of the schools that I attended in New York. The school is absolutely great and have very encouraging teachers! They allow every student to focus on only the subjects they need and do not make students repeat any subjects they passed like previous schools I enrolled in have. The staff is wonderful and I am certain that now their has been some changes due to the pandemic to give students options for virtual classes. There is even a College Prep Program that they have (I personally attended), which really helped me to prepare for College and the exams. There are 3 exams that every student must take to enter college (reading, writing, math (includes College Algebra as well that I hope the school has incorporated in this program)). I highly recommend student to attend. There are even Career Prep help and/or training programs for students too. This means help with resumes, cover letters, elevator pitches, and even help in obtaining certificates in training such as I have obtained "Customer Service Training & Mavis Typing Speed Certificates", to name a few. And many successful people have visited the school as well, talking about their accomplishments and gives students the opportunity to even possibly work with certain companies like the abc News, etc. Also, be mindful that this is an all WOMEN'S Adult School BUT I did hear that the director of the school wanted to expand on an all MEN'S school, (which I think is a wonderful idea and really helps to prevent any distractions between the opposite sex, etc). I recommend Men and Women call this school for more information (there may be even more programs and other opportunities for jobs and school). I certainly recommend students attend if they want to quickly learn and pass their exams and obtain their High School Equivalency (HSE) diplomas. Especially if students want to continue to further their education and attend college with greater Career goals in mind. Also, NEVER BE DISCOURAGED if you do not pass your exams or if it takes a bit longer than you need, every student works at a different pace, but are all capable of passing if you take studying these subjects seriously. I have no doubt that anyone can pass these exams and go beyond in developing a great future because the environment I was in here was so positive, that it made many students like myself want to stay. I gave 4 stars because I think there can be more improvements in certain areas for the College Prep Program from what I remember, but maybe they have made some changes already, (It has been 7 years since I have been there). Overall, this is a GREAT SCHOOL for anyone, so please at least look into it and see if its the right fit for you, which I have no doubt that it is. 🙂Ari “Fury”

Looking through all of my important papers I came across my ged from 2008. I immediately started to reminisce my days at Grace Outreach. I remember Ms. Zeeky and another person at the front desk. The first time I took the test I failed and was so broken about it and had to wait 60 days to retake the test. As much as I wanted to give up every one pushed for me to study non stop and made sure I was ready to take the test again with a guarantee passing. The day I called to find out my test score and the machine answered and said I passed I couldn’t contain my happiness. I overdid myself with the test the second time around. It was a mission but the teachers at grace have a passion to help you succeed and I love that about them, they will be a little strict and on top of you but it’s only because they know what you’re capable of, they give everything they do 100%+! Thank you Grace Outreach. Highly highly recommended place for anyone looking to get their GED without feeling like you’re back in high school.Geraldine Valerio

I went to Grace Outreach in 2016 for TASC and college prep. I learned so much from my time there and it has greatly impacted me as a person till this day. Great teachers and amazing people. Arlet taught me about writing and I always sat in her room for lunch and made sure to say bye to her before I left annnnnd I still think of her lectures even in college right now when I am writing a paper. Zeke is hilarious and made math fun. She expects participation but it honestly got me out of my shell. And it hammered the material in my head. I lowkey felt like a human calculator haha! Liz is an angel, made me feel so comfortable yet pushed me out of my comfort zone with public speaking (I am an anxious lady) and Gabriel, just a cool dude and great support during college prep. And so much more, it will be too long. Like, I am soooo very grateful and thankful. I miss everyone there and hope you all are well!!!Julissa Hernandez

I have a question: I saw your ad and I want to get the security guard training. But I do not have the requirements needed. I have been unemployed for several years; mostly had gigs but no real income. So, I don't have any current income taxes to show you. I have state ID, social security card. I am willing to pay for security guard classes? What should I do? Will you guys still take me?Larry Tenelanda

I'm happy I found this place. I'm going for the medical assistant training that starts on March. I thought they forgot about me but it just takes some time for the classes to start. I applied last year like around November. Best part is that classes are free. All I have to pay is 40 dollars for books and 17 for the kit. Thank you guys for helping people in need.Gabby's Life!!

I applied for a program, I got an email from a Shawn Gadsden asking for my documents, I than emailed ALL my personal information and its entirety by the due date. I haven't heard back from this place. Very unprofessional, my personal information with my social security number and no one contacts you back. VERY unprofessional.Lineiris Martinez

Unfortunately, I arrived to NYC in November and I was pretty excited about starting my classes there, but when it happened, I found a mediocre teacher and I got upset and disappointed because these classes were my only goal and hope of my decision to travel to NYC. Anyway, I made a formal request to get back my enrollment 's money and stuff like that and I had my money back one month after all. Then, I noticed that 100.00 usd hadn't been returned and I called them to ask about them, and staff told me that those 100.00 were destined to cover my enrollment and I was like ok it doesn't matter. Finally, when I went there to pick my book up (because I didn't want to lose my money), they gave me a book supposedly that they are used to use in Level 8 (The Level 8 is the highest level), so I just checked this book with my teacher and it was the last straw! Unbelievable, there is grammar for learning B1 Level, I'm shocked and thankful to would have left this school. I'm going to show you my book. There are two options, or staff personal gave me a wrong book, or the academic level in this school is too bad for learners. I'm writing this because I'm upset, although I got back my money and I lost 100.00, I'd like to say that I don't recommend learning English in this school.Laura Varón Osorio

I've studied at NYLC for 1 year and a half and I feel very lucky by choosing this place to improve my English. All members working there were very friendly and helpful and the classes always entertaining. If I would be given a chance to take additional classes I would certainly choose again NYLC, because is not only a place where you can improve your English skills, but it's also a place where you can find gregarious people, sincere friendship and great tips for living in NYC.juliana molina

I just finished studying at NYLC and it was an amazing experience. It helped me to improve my English and gave me the necessary tools to be more confident when I have to talk to others. Also, there are people from different countries so it is a great opportunity to meet people and their cultures. At first, I decided to join because the prices are convenient, but then I discovered that this was just one of the great advantages of studying here. Gracias!Fer Baros
