13 Best Paramedic Programs In Dayton, OH (2022 Updated)

A majority of the positive reviews on this site are biased and are from the staff. Please, heed the warnings that you see here. Some of these positive comments come as a result of the staff coercing someone to post a positive review. Please, do not believe the positive reviews – for the sake of your wallet and academic progress. Coming to this college was nothing but a huge waste of time and money. By far the worst college ON THE PLANET. Please, go anywhere else but here. A lot of the credits do not transfer, the staff is rude and doesn't care about you, and a professor at Sinclair told me that they consider these classes to be sub-standard. Don't waste your time or money. The only thing they care about is your money. I understand that you may want to attend a community college because it's cheaper, but do keep in mind that you only get what you pay for and at clark state that isn't much! Low tuition fees = low quality institution. The professors are not here because they want to ensure the success of their students. They're here to collect a paycheck and enhance the appearance of their resumes.John S

It is so incredibly difficult and annoying trying to contact ANYONE at Clark State. Trying to speak with anyone at all via phone during normal business hours during the day on a normal weekday is just a string of voicemail after voicemail and no one ever calls back. The only way to accomplish anything, even having a simple question answered, is to physically go to the school and deal with someone directly. And even then, probably 90% of the staff are not helpful and talk to you like you are incompetent. I am finally finishing up my 2 years at Clark State in order to get the classes that I need to transfer into a 4 year school. It has been a constant battle to get anything done at this school. The teaching staff HAS been very helpful, but the staff that work in the offices (testing center, records & registration, cashier's office) are so condescending it is unbelievable. After spending thousands of dollars every semester to attend classes here, you would think the staff would be just only SLIGHTLY more respectful.Alisha Scott

My daughter has been trying to reach out to Clark to attend this Fall and NOBODY has returned her messages or calls. So I decided to check into the ratings on this community college. After reading some of the reviews with low ratings I’m understanding why Clark will not return my daughters calls or messages. I’m willing to try one more time in the hopes of getting an explanation. However, if I cannot get a hold of anyone, then I will take it that this is my sign that Clark is obviously NOT the college for my daughter. I would rather look for another college for her to attend with a much better education. if Clark cannot get their stuff together to return messages and called to students that are wanting to attend a hen how can they have their stuff together to teach students. Like I said…. Some of the reviews I read here pretty much tells it all. Thank you for some of the warnings in the reviews.C J

I’ve only had on great instructor, Stephen Marlowe, but the worst instructor there is Amanda Bylczynski by far! She is extremely rude and is unwilling to help. She refuses to admit when she is wrong and tends to give multiple directions to assignments that contradict each other and gives you a poor grade when you don’t follow the “correct” set of directions. It’s hard to stay away from her though since she teaches history, geography, sociology, and is an advisor. Since she is an advisor she tries to push you to take her favorite classes that she teaches rather than put you in classes that will benefit your degree! I am majoring in education and she put me in her history class (her favorite) instead of letting me take sociology which would have clearly fit my path much better! Don’t waste your time at this school. They treat everyone like a high school student whether you are or not. If you are looking for a community college to start your college career go to Sinclair! It has much more of a college feel to it.Seth Helton

This is the worst school in the country, the staff is over paid the classes are the equivalent to a junior high school. I had applied there for art classes and did online classes and I had completed all my work correctly and did the assignments on time and with the correct format. Stayed up for hours on end completing assignments putting a lot of hard work into them and still got bad grades for some odd reason? So I email my teachers and call the school asking what I can do to improve them the phone tree did not work properly and my teachers never emailed me back. I honestly think this school should get some lessons on how to run, worst school ever…DJ Crow

First off the professors are great, they help you and answer all questions. In the 5 years I have attended, there are only a few that were mediocre, but they are gone now. Advisors are helpful, but you will need to make sure they know what you want. As an older student the school is affordable and most classes are available in the evening. Down fall is several classes like Calculus, pre calculus, music, and other lab classes have limited availability in the evenings and in some cases not at all. They now offer scholarships for older students who do not qualify for other financial aid. No out of county fees unlike some schools.Jen ny

Great education facility, and great adult ed program. Hugely improved from what it was ten years ago when I went for welding. David Guinn, the adult ed department head, is a man who really cares about the school and the students. If you sign up for the advanced manufacturing technology adult ed course, you will get a lot of great hands on experience, as well as a complete knowledge base. A piece of advice about the advanced manufacturing technology instructors: let Steve Abner do most of the teaching you receive, he is simply better at teaching. The other instructor, who co-teaches the course alongside him, Jeff, has his moments where he can really shine, but don't let him push you around and mess with you too much. My experience with Jeff has been mostly him telling stories about all the places he has traveled to and worked at, and telling me to "figure it out" and not actually helping or explaining things, or teaching, whenever I asked him for help or to explain something, and micromanages you. You might as well be learning without an instructor if Jeff is involved, because you are not being taught, anyway. Don't let him push you around, and turn to Steve for help and instruction.Kaenyn

Great school with great programs. I have been attending the career center for over a year now in the Electromechanical PLC course and this school has helped me learn a vast amount and it has helped me attain a job as a maintenance technician and Dave Guinn the head of advanced manufacturing helped me write a decent resume and cover letter to get the job I attained, he also has helped me find multiple temp agencies and multiple job openings, this school has helped me gain the experience I needed to start my career and is a great school to attend with many great programs.Richard Fell

Attending WCCC has been great. I'm almost finished with the PLC Technician classes. For someone working and attending Adult Education classes, I have had a great experience of getting to work at my pace. There is always something to learn and another skill to work on. The instructors are helpful and always available when you need them. Any time I've had trouble, they have always been able to help me understand.brian lyons

I can easily say that going to Butler Tech for my Junior and Senior year of High School was one of the best decisions I have ever made! I chose to study in the Information Technology program, and I walked out with so much more information and knowledge than I would have thought. My instructors, Mr. Newman and Mr. Chambers, were very uplifting, and always encouraged me to be the best I could possibly be. I cannot thank them enough for their motivation and encouragement during the two years I attended. Not only were my instructors awesome to be around, but my classmates were awesome as well. Every single one of my classmates in my Information Technology program shared the same interests as me, and it helped us to grow closer to each other like family. We always helped out one another, we always encouraged one another, and we always stuck together. In terms of the curriculum, speaking for the Information Technology program itself, it will be difficult at times. Mr. Newman, as well as Mr. Chambers, will treat you like you would be treated in the work force. I personally loved and admired this about them. The reality is, in the workforce, your managers wont be able to hold your hand 24/7. I loved the idea of being prepared early on to work my very hardest. This is just one of many things I have to thank Butler Tech for. Overall, I cannot recommend this school enough. With hands-on learning, engaging activities, and a room full of future family, Butler Tech will ensure you get the most out of your last two years of High School.Zach Rush

My daughter decided that she wanted to attend the Culinary Arts program for her Junior and Senior year of high school and she absolutely enjoys it! Chef Tyler Simpson is amazing and inspiring! My daughter looks forward to going to school every day unlike when she went to the Fairfield City Schools which is our home school. She takes part in all of the events she can no matter the day or time. Some of the staff lack personality and many of them tend to be the office and administrative staff. The campus is nice with a big parking lot and the facility is clean and well maintained! One issue that I found here is the fact there isn’t enforcement in the parking lot for the students! We PAY for a particular parking place as do many other students but the school doesn’t enforce this! This year is the worst yet. Various students have complained when the get to school only to find a car in their spot and when they go in and say something to the office staff they are told they will deal with it later..park somewhere else! REALLY? Another parking lot issues is there is no order when the school day is over. Non bus riding students can’t leave the parking lot until the buses do so that implies they are trapped in the lot until 2:25 pm or later. So if you don’t mind sometimes rude administrators and no parking lot enforcement you will love it!R Retherford

Attending Butler Techs Computer and Network Technolgy class today called Information Technology was the best choice I made when I was in High School. I am sure that my career path would not have been, as it is today without BT. The engagement and dedication my teachers had, in terms of teaching a child how the real world functions, is and was outstanding. I visit the campus and classes I took back in that time, every time when I get the chance. Also I talk to studens and new teachers while I am there. And every time, I am surprised and amazed again, that a teacher can bring up so much commitment for teaching children. And showing them how it is, to work in fields that are so competitive and diverse. It was an honor to be able to attend the DRL campus. And I am very proud to still serve my teachers I had by giving information and input out of the industry to keep the classes as close as possible to the real world experience. I highly recommend Butler Tech.Pascal Eggers

This was THE most informative CPR/AED training I have had after 14 years in a field requiring this knowledge! Our training was focused on babies and infants, with a refresher in older children/adults since we work with mothers and babies at our facility. Todd Day was professional, engaging and thorough making sure all of us were performing life saving procedures correctly on "Little Annie". "Airway, airway, airway!" Thank you, thank you, thank you Firefighter Safe & Todd Day for your work and dedication to our community's safety!Kristina Cook

Tyler was a great instructor. He did a great job of explaining the reasoning behind the action you take for first aid, and gave some great real world experiences to tie everything together. you could tell he actually wanted you to succeed if you need to use CPR or First aid rather than just going through the motions to get through the class. Class was engaging and actually pretty fun despite the subject matter being heavy at times. This was the best CPR and first aid class I have taken, and I have taken quite a few!Tiffany Gepfrey

Our team took the CPR, First Aid, and Defibrillator training with Firefighter Safe. Jonathon Willis was amazing! I’ve attended numerous first aid / CPR courses throughout my career as a law enforcement and this was by far the best! Great information and fantastic presentation! I highly recommend Firefighter Safe. Steve Dunham Dog Training PersonalizedSteve Dunham

I love this school and everything they have to offer. This is a wonderful place to further your education. They are very helpful with all your needs and work hard at providing you with the necessary tools to achieve your goals. I mainly go to the centerville campus-since I live right around the corner in Kettering, but I’ve been to the main campus a time or two. It’s very easy to find everything here, and a cute layout. It’s so much more than a community college, and hopefully one day they will take on the full roll. Until now it’s a great place to be. You can also get your bachelor’s here for only a couple select programs. I highly recommend this college to any and all. Their is no reason to pay tens of thousands in college fees, simply for a name that nobody in the professional world even cares about. This college is great for the pocket and your brain.Evie Gervais

Still one of the best educational values in the country. Sinclair has agreements with most of the major state universities and 4-year colleges, as well as robust adult education/trade education programs. And the campus is nicely laid out. It's easy to get to and from, there is ample parking (you may have to "cruise" at peak times), and most of the campus is connected by sheltered walkways or tunnels.Athena Prime

Sinclair Community College has really been improving over these past few years. I'm currently attending the Nursing program. The newer building 14 is really nice and clean and has nice practice styled simulation rooms and equipment. Most of the professors I've encountered have been a positive, there are a few though that should reconsider being a teacher.Dani Ewing

Before applying to the University we think it is the best. But after applying, they don't even care us. They delay our application, don't even respond to us. This is my experience : " I have applied for Masters in Renewable and Clean energy for fall 2k14. I have waited more than 2 months after I have applied. I was repeatingly asking for my admission status but finally after a long time I got a denial letter. Shocked!!!!!! I have asked for the reason for my denial. They said that due to low academics. I was surprised. The eligibility is 3.0 GPA. My profile is GPA: 3.47 , GRE : 300 , published 4 research papers in International journals, presented a paper in an International conference, presented 2 papers and 1 model in National level symposiums and banged 1st prize in every event. " All these achievements were thrown into the dustbin. I requested to reconsider. But there is no response. Feeling frustated of hearing such silly reasons.Raghav Mallipeddi

To be fair, I'm not a student. I'm not a Catholic. I don't even live in Ohio anymore. But after touring, this is seriously my dream school. It has literally EVERYTHING I want in a college. If only it wasn't so darn selective and expensive! But hey, a school like this deserves to only take the best of the best. Can't wait to apply here this fall, among my top choices FOR SURE.Wes

Attended UD as a nontraditional student, which remains, to this day, an outstanding educational community. Amazed at their expansive, yet compassionate vision. Have always said, 'If a student isn't successful here, they were either foolish or their opportunity or not meant for higher education.Al Thompson

Before the school year started I rated it a one.. After experiencing the amazing life of middle school it's been going well for me! I've made many friends, I have gone through a bit of bullying but it's cool now, and I even have a boyfriend! This school has taught me that even though others has had a bad time in certain places doesn't mean that I will too!HopeThe RoPro

Great company that takes great pride in their ambulance vehicles and staff. The Owners are extremely passionate about helping others.Pilip Ambulances

Terrible Ambulance Service. Do Not Recommend! I would give you a 0 but you have to give something to be able to leave a comment.Jennifer Radford
