20 Best G.E.D Programs In Memphis, TN (2022 Updated)

This review is in regards to the disc golf course and not the college itself. The course was uneventful and hardly worth the time. There are very few holes with any sort of technical shots involved. It really came down to how far you can throw your disc. The majority of holes followed the perimeter of soccer fields and many were along side roads, driveways and parking lots. If it was busy or the lots were full of cars, I wouldn't recommend playing even though the before mentioned were considered out of bounds. Many tee pads were far away from the previous basket, making it a hike between holes (not the worse thing). Signage was the best part of this course. Once you find the main map, the layout is fairly simple (which wasn't the case for me at first; played 12-18 before seeing the map). The course is also split by the main road and as someone else suggested, play the front 9 and drive over to the other parking lot to play the back 9. I'd only suggest playing this course if you live in the area and there are no other courses around. This course design feels as if the sports director of the college designed the course without having ever played the sport. But they did work with what they had. Oh and be prepared for water on the course after heavy rain fall. There was standing water and the grass was like a sponge disguising the water till you stepped there. 3 stars is on the generous side.Michael Graeve

My experience here was horrible…it started on my 1st day off respiratory class & ended the day God showed me this institution/program wasn't for me..THANK YOU LORD 🙌🏽 The very 1st day one of the two respiratory instructors showed her lack of professionalism while the other showed & told us "we would fail" long story stort…I should have left that very 1st day, but I tried to stick.it out until things almost got physical because the professor continued to treat me like i wasn't human & talk to me any kind of way..why??? Because I was late one day?? Anywho since then I've become the lead of a big company & have a bachelor's of Science in Biology now to teacher two who said we/I would fail daily & made the classes sooooo difficult jokes on you, but I wish you both the BEST…I WOULD NOT RECCOMEND THIS SCHOOL TO ANYONE….I didn't go into the HARRASMENT OR ANXIETY I ENDURED. Please choose another route pplRoenda Crawford

ASU MIDSOUTH is a good school I took the process technology class that was 14 weeks taught Mr. Charlie Hull. If you’re looking to jump in a career quick fast you should consider process technology.The program deals with all aspects of manufacturing and production giving you opportunities at positions such as operator, maintenance and technician.JUMP ON IT WHILE YOU CAN !!!!Sleepie White

From the first day I came in to visit the school until I graduated, everybody on campus was fantastic. Any time I needed help or was struggling, there was always somebody to help point you in the right direction. Everybody I have come into contact with has been extremely helpful. Throughout your program, you will remain in contact with a success coach, for me this was Mr. Hollis. Your success coach will reach out and contact you just to check up on how you're doing and see if there is anything that they can help with. Coming from a 4 year institution, I did not the advantage of a success coach and this adds a level of accountability which helps you to succeed. I have never met more down to earth individuals who truly care about helping you to succeed.Zachary Baker

I just finished one of Concorde’s many medical programs. My admissions advisor was Mr. Todd Hollis, although I believe he works primarily in the business office now, he was a great first impression as to the kind of people Concorde has working for them to help the students succeed. Mr. Hollis answered any and all of the questions I had. He walked me through the step by step application process over the phone as I was completely things on my computer at home. During my time as a Concorde student, Mr. Hollis would always stop and ask me how things we going and always reiterate that he was there to help. All of staff at Concorde really care about the students and want to see them succeed!Kourtney Payne

My name is Mya Griffin and I just completed the Medical Assistant program. All I can say is this school alone was absolutely amazing, but I couldn't start or get through my certification without the help of Mr. Todd Hollis. I thank Mr. Hollis for believing in me when I didn't believe in myself. If you are thinking about going to Concorde Career College I recommend you go through Mr. Hollis he will make sure to motivate you if you don't have any I promise.Mya Griffin

Worst sportsmanship I seen in 40 years at Perfect Game LakePoint this past weekend . Every team they played there were issues with the parent (especially the women and the parent of a the young man Bizzle I believe , I heard her say my son will be the president of the mill that your son will work for. They cussed ….very sore losers , Stay in Memphis we don't want that kind of sportsmanship at LakePoint….Billy itiswhatitis

My son was in the Class of ‘96. He told me a couple of years ago that the greatest gift I ever gave him was to send him to CBHS. He’s still VERY proud to be a ‘Brother’s Boy’ and I’m proud to say that my son went to school there‼️Pam Ashford

Provides excellent college preparation. Well rounded education for young men and future leaders. Top notch facilities and faculty.arcsdaddy

Do not visit here to get your hair done. I have thick long 4b hair, and it was nearly destroyed by the students here at this school. I came to get a silk press. A lady of Caucasian race was originally assigned to style my hair, but after about 40 minutes of her detangling my hair and raking through it vigorously with a small tooth comb as well as flat ironing it on 410 degrees then becoming frustrated doing so, she proceeded to assign another student to my hair. The new student she handed me over too is African American, and was told to finish what she had started. The new student took the instructions and proceeded to go over my hair yet again with a very high temperature flat iron. She then burned the back of my head with the iron, then suggested that the pain I felt was from the “heat” of the iron and not the actual iron. The students used profanity and were very unprofessional my entire visit. I went in at 11:00am and did not leave until 3pm almost 4pm. My visit was very tragic, and I work entirely too hard on my beautiful hair everyday trying to grow it longer only to have it detroyed by careless people. Go here at your own risk but I highly do not recommend it.nakeria porter

I've been going to Paul Mitchell The School for a year and a half now, and for the most part have had great experiences! It can take 3 or 4 hours for a cut and color, depending on the level of experience the student has, but this should be understood, since these are students. In my opinion, the cost savings is worth the extra time, and I really enjoy getting to know the students. All the students that have worked on my hair have been really friendly and professional. The learning leaders are super nice and make sure you are happy with your hair. My Mom has short hair with a wave to it, which seems to be challenging for news students to cut, and the learning leader always comes over and helps out. My color job really looks amazing and just as nice as the color I used to get by an experienced colorist. In summary, I would highly recommend coming here as long as you aren't in a rush to be in and out. And one more comment…they styled my hair and my wedding party as well, and did an amazing job!!!!Lori Austin

I love having my hair done at this location. The staff is very caring and so friendly. From upon entering to leaving I'm well taken care of by the staff. At present my stylist is Leslie and she has given me an excellent silk press using the awesome Paul Mitchell products. I love it. When I walk out my hair is so beautiful and flowing. Paul Mitchell provided me with such wonderful stylist in the past and present since their days in Bartlett. When one stylist graduates another steps right in with the same care, professionalism, and attention to the details like her predecessor. And don't worry if there's a problem the instructors are there to make it right. They will guide the student in the right direction. Great place!!Sandra Watkins

If you’re looking for a facial, waxing, or lashes Mary with Empire Beauty School is the way to go! I struggle with acne and prone skin areas on all parts of my body. I don’t know what took me so long to get facials because they are so refreshing and relaxing. From start to finish, Mary takes time to buff, exfoliate, massage, and give my face lots of TLC. I learned a lot about my skin and how to take care of it. It seems as if I am at a spa when I come to Empire. Mary takes good care of me every single time. I can’t wait to my next appointment next week. Hands down Mary is the BEST thing going at Empire! 😘Cookie B

I had an appointment today. My stylist was Callie D. Watkins. Her services were very impressive. She has the total package. She's professional, respectful and understands the importance of communication. I'm looking forward to becoming a client upon her graduation. I've been trying to sit in her chair since last week but she was booked for that day. Now I'm booked with her from today til she leaves! I'll follow! Book with her when you come to Empire Colonial Memphis.Claudine Henderson

Shout of excellence to the Empire School of beauty. They took me after work, the instructor was so professional and kind. My student stylist is sure to excel as a pro Mykela was so gentle I did not us my 4 bottles of set anglers., she showed concerns for as a customer provided excellent service. So pleased….Awesome customer experience… Thank You!! Great thingsKathy Owens

We really did have a great experience with using the services of Club Z for tutoring our boy. It took a little bit of patience in the beginning to find the right tutor for hus needs, but the right one was found and with excellent results! Our Son has some mild learning disabilities and it was extremely difficult for him to learn what he needed in a large classroom environment. We actually began to feel that he would not make it through High School. But with the dedication, patience, and high level of education experience given to him through the wonderful tutor he was ultimately paired with, he achieved his High School diploma and stepped right into a great job opportunity! I am forever grateful to Club Z for their contribution to my Son's success in his education!Donna Brauer

I was a tutor for ClubZ and absolutely loved it. I've tutored for other companies and they don't compare to the organization and execution of ClubZ. CLubZ has a very thought out and perfect strategy to ensure their tutors are providing the best quality tutoring services to our clients. The tutoring log they require you to fill out each time allows the director to keep track of the quality of learning that is going on and parent feedback further supports the logs to make sure tutoring is going as expected by all. Highly recommend ClubZ to tutors looking for consistent work and parents looking for consistent and effective tutors.Ms. Irizarry

Wonderful people to work with. My daughter was struggling real hard in math. We spent countless of dollars for tutoring. She failed math and we contacted Club Z and the rest is history. My daughter became a honor student in Math the first semester, she exceeded to make an A in the repeated math course failed the previous year AND exceeded to make honor roll throughout the year in other subjects as well. The tutor assigned was very patient and professional. Not only did she tutor, she was building her confidence as well. The Virtual process Club Z has in place is awesome!!! CLUB Z is everything advistisedzoe grace

This company is a fraud. They claim to be a faith based organization. But they do not represent what they claim they stand for. I was introduced to this program when I was incarcerated and they promised me hope and a job. They hired me upon my release from prison. And then they violated my disability act and terminated me because I did not come to work on my day off. They have denied me unemployment knowing that it’s hard for me to get a job being a felon. I field an EEOC claim against them and they also denied mediation. HopeWorks is not what they claim to be. They are all about money and they do not care about their employees or their students. This organization needs to be shut down. The state of Tennessee needs to give someone else the grant for students to receive their HiSET. I have lost all respect for HopeWorks. In the beginning of 2021 HopeWorks made me the face of the company. I did a news interview with WREG here in Memphis Tennessee. That too was a fraud. They overworked me and underpaid me. They had me managing four sites but I was getting paid as a student coordinator. When I made the CEO aware of what was going on he did not investigate or do anything to look into the situation. I was wrongfully terminated because I sent an email addressing the Director at that time who was also doing illegal activity in the company. And not a month after I was terminated she was also terminated. I will definitely be doing another interview with WREG so that I can expose them for the frauds they are. And I will definitely be suing them. You can fool man but you cannot fool God. And in the end I will win the victory and I pray that God has mercy on HopeWorks and everyone associated with them.TrueBeautyMica Renee

Called thid morning to receive information about the program and a Natalie keft me on hokd 4 in a half minutes i heard her pick the phone up to see if i was on the line because the music stopped then all of a sudden the phone went blank and after i called back and told her i did not want to placed on hold because she hung and left me on hold a fair amount of time she then got very rude… This is unacceptable and very unprofessional. Do better pleaseSunshine Baeee

Nothing but love and positive things to say when referring to HopeWorks. I was once a student in the program and it helped me tremendously. With kind, caring, God loving, God fearing staff they were beneficial to me getting back on my feet again and living life again. Heaven is truly missing a few angels, because they are working at HopeWorks improving and shaping the lives of those who have been misguided or lost in life. God bless them!!!Kinnaye Peete

I Graduated from a Job for Life Program, and I worked there volunteering. The staff, and Teacher's there are magnificent… They thrive to help better others, through life's Journeys, everyday Life needs, Job opportunities,(with on the site drug testing) Education opportunities, Spiritual Guidance, and much more… I will recommend this business (School) for everyone to attend.. Need to expand to other areas also… Would love to have others in different areas Memphis..Rachel Montgomery

I’m a former graduate and I absolutely love every staff they treat you more like family honestly you will have them for life(family) Steve Nash Donna Nash and Ann Vance are a blessing and what they provide to the community deserve major respect and appreciation.Ms Bee

Advance Memphis is an awesome place to be… They help you get jobs and understand you completely.. I'll recommend to anybody…Tyeshia Crowder

A great place to get help when you need it, I've gotten a air conditioner from the city through Neighborhood Christian Center. We have also received food when we didn't have any. This place is truly a blessing and Heaven Sent.Snapshot Shooter Wayne T. Newell

I came here on a field trip with my 9th graders. They had an experiential virtual field trip to Nigeria. I can't say enough good things about that experience! Every detail was thoughtfully manifested and executed.Sean Stanhill

Always reliable and kind and on time. Very awesome thanks for the services. When they come there very patient and kind and compassionate, Sending out shout out the staff amazing people thank you NCC.Edith Birgs

I was about 5 minutes late for class because of an accident on the highway. I attempted to drop my 2 year old at the drop in center and was turned away. They sent me and my child to the office . The office staff told me you are late you have to go sit outside or in the car knowing that the weather is 46 degrees today. There was 3 other mothers sitting in the office as well one was told the same thing as me'' you have to go sit outside'' but the other mother was told she could go and sit in the student lounge with her child until the next block begins and to lock the door behind her. ( Why were we discriminated against?) (Why were we forced to sit outside in the cold while you sit behind a warm desk?)This was wrong on so many levels it took everything in me not to go completely left . I want stop until I get answers. I will be calling ,emailing, writing until I get clarity.alneka bass

I give this school an 3 standard the staff is some what ok. I feel the Excel Center need to look more into the English 3 teacher she is NOT for BLACK PEOPLE a lot of the things she was teaching was very absurd. Yess we told the principal but nothing was done. I feel she bullied us and gave us bad grades because we spoke up on her very disrespectful ways. The sentences she were giving us on these test were verrrrrrrrrrrrrrry Negative. But because she knew we need the class she took advantage that is why she had us to sign a wavier .Other than that this school has a great program for getting your diploma.adrian perry

My experience with the excel center was a great one, the staff treated me like family, I am a recent graduate as of 12/18/21 . Thank You to all the staff and great teachers for helping me with a long time goal. My life coach Mrs, King, Mrs, Willams, Mrs, Taylor, Mrs Bracy, Mr Chuck, Mrs Harges, Mrs Hughes, Mrs Wicks, Mres Estes, and Mr Travis , Mrs Dowdy, Mrs McKinney . I love you all thank you soooooo much for making my dreams come true ❤❤❤.Naomi Daniels

CodeCrew is a awesome organization that offers a great k-12 program geared towards teaching kids computer science that can be a in school elective or a after school program. And they have also made history starting the first Coding Bootcamp (CodeSchool) in the city of Memphis for adults with a GED or high school diploma. I am a graduate of CodeSchool and I went from being a cashier to landing a job as a Software Developer in just 6 months! If you are interested in computer programming adult or child CodeCrew is who you need to talk to.Myiah

This organization is amazing. They are so geared towards helping everyone in the community and making a change around the community. The amount of effort given is so noticeable and it just makes you want to reciprocate that same effort when you see someone actively trying to make a difference in your life. I'm glad I went through their CodeCrew Code School program, it has made such an impact on my life and I'd recommend any person looking to create new career for themselves or for their children to definitely go through CodeCrewJordan Parker

Watching CodeCrew grow from an after school program for young kids, to one of the leading tech educators in Memphis has been amazing. Now with the career bootcamp for anyone with a GED or High School Diploma, CodeCrew has expanded and is targeting the skills gap and pay gap in our city. I have been encouraging the young people in my family and my friends families to enroll and get involved with CodeCrew ASAP.Christopher Fields

My daughter went here in the 6th grade and it was fine. No concerns or issues, now she is back and I have had to come up there more than I would like. The assist principal or discipline coordinator is always giving suspensions for smallest and pettiest stuff that he could have handled better than getting the parents involved. Then when he calls you and tell you what's going on it is not the truth and the principal just roles with it or doesn't even know about it. Some of the teachers don't care and 1 I believe is a pervert which I told my daughter to report.aerial weaver

This input is about a false review from a user Kimberly Bush. MSE did not have a parent with the name of Kimberly Bush nor any applicant. She must be referring to another school because she mentions the principal as she. School is operating since 2010 and had only male principals. I report the false review to google but seems like they won't remove Kimberly Bush's review. RegardsMuhammet Turkay

I came to the US a month ago, and it was difficult to communicate in English in my daily life, but I am gradually gaining confidence by taking ESL classes here. In particular, the teacher and all the students who work with me are active and having a more enjoyable time. If you are a first-time settler in the United States, I strongly recommend that you attend this class.Jennifer Hwang

For a long time I have had problems with the English Language and I have attend different courses and definitely here with Mrs Deborah I have achieved much more confidence and fluidity. I highly recommend it. Our teacher has a unique personality. She inspires us a lot on everything. She is unique. I can say that everyday we learn something new from her😇😇.. 💯Migdalia Vazquez

I recently started taking an esl class here ! I didn’t expect I could learn about so many different subjects in English. Teacher in my class Ms. Debra, she is so passionate, humorous and is doing her best to improve student’s English. My English is getting better thanks to her. I highly recommend her class 🙂슬로우엠마SlowEmma

I took the TEFL certification course and I can say that I have no negative words. The instructors I worked with, Richard and Angela, were incredibly kind, helpful and accommodating. 100% would recommend.Jasmin Jackson

The University of Memphis is a great urban University in the heart of Memphis, Tennessee. It has grown and developed tremendously over the last 20 years. I am an alumnus with bachelor's and master's degrees in business. My father earned his EdD here, my wife (accounting) and one of my children (music) are also graduates, and I have two more children that will be seniors this year, one in child development and one in French. There are many notable alumni, including Brad Martin, the retired chairman of the board of Saks Incorporated, who could live anywhere in the world and chooses to live in Memphis, TN. My degrees from Memphis prepared me well and have served me well in my 28 year career in financial services. I still have close connections with some of my grad school professors, and I teach in the business college as an adjunct. We have many dedicated and deeply experienced faculty who truly care about their students. Like all organizations, not all employees are as strong or friendly or caring as others, but the majority of the people I have worked with and was taught by are excellent. Memphis has great facilities (getting better all the time), and a strong, diverse, and highly engaged student body. As with all higher education, you will get out of it what you put into it. My kids have all placed a high priority on their education (partly because we did, but also on their own) and as a result have done well academically and socially. They have been highly involved in campus life, including numerous academic, social, and professional student organizations. They have truly thrived and grown and matured here. I am proud to call the University of Memphis my alma matter.Richard Marsh

Any time I've had to deal with administration over credits, applications for scholarship/dorm/etc. something has been messed up and its a nightmare to fix. I wish the school cared less about sports and more about my major, and how we don't have much in the way of resources. The food was pretty bad when I had a meal plan but I've heard its getting better. My time in the LLC was pretty fun. My professors have been great. The library is great, except for the time they charged me $300 in overdue fees when I returned all my books on time, and I had to talk to 3 people before one finally looked for my books, which were all sitting on the shelves. Wish tuition wasn't going up. Literally anything that has to do with money or bureaucracy is a nightmare – when I dealt with Bursar's they give me eye rolls and sighs and act like I'm the biggest inconvenience because the classes I paid for and passed with A's aren't showing on my transcript and it's screwing me out of scholarships! I don't know where the university finds its employees. But I absolutely loved my program and my professors! I just hate that my school is run like a for-profit business!!!Breanna Parker

Advisors are slow to respond to emails, ya have to contact advisors a week in advance to schedule something, rather than within a week regardless of deadlines. I am a transfer student and i have received a letter saying they have my records however when i sign for classes online it says i need prerequisites i have already taken and so i tried getting a permit but their permit site is down. the registration processs is more confusing than anything and is very fustrating. Also to reach somebody by phone you have to wait absolutely forever before you may get a hold of someone, it is rediculous.Jon McCarthy
