As the saying goes, “I would give this 0 stars if I could”. Their staff even the person that’s office of the ceo is ignoring me now.

Took this scam bootcamp for 11months or so. Literally had to fight tooth and nail for bare minimum anything.

I’m probably going to end up suing them.

Here’s some of the many issues with them.

– Part timer instructors that don’t really care and or know their stuff. There’s actually a couple of good ones. But a lot will say stuff “google it”, review the recording (A lot of times it’s not on it but they’d rather you go through 4hrs plus of stuff than to admit, they don’t know it.)

They even use the part time as an excuse to not do things, to not update etc.

– They try to gaslight you and/or ignore you. They’ll try to belittle and berate you too. The staff enables this. On our first class the instructor tried to get us to not report anything above or else we’ll get “hooked up” later on.

I’ve dealt with many that were very petty and unprofessional.

– They highly use free content in the class. My first network class, half of it would be instructor playing YouTube vids.

They even stole professor messers material and used as a test. I’m not lying. Had a discussion with the person that made the AWS class curriculum. He was fine with stealing some free udemy courses and making it part of the paid curriculum. As in tests etc. I handled it.

– Material is dated. I talked to the person of the material they stole and not only did they gaslight him they stole his old stuff. He contacted an organization and reported them.

– Ohhhh their job services is bad. Caught them lying. Respectfully pointed it out and they tried gas light me. Caught them lying etc… the usual ciat behavior.

This course was literally poorly built around cram books. And is also HEAVILY dependent on FREE RESOURCES. Not even to assist/supplement but to do the job for them.

PS: Got proof of all this and will be posting up later.

CIAT courses are definitely challenging; however, it is geared for anyone with desire to learn from beginner to more experienced IT person. The discussions provide an opportunity to research IT related topics and interchange ideas with instructors and students. The courses in the associate degree Information Technology with concentration in Networking program are geared to help students prepare and successfully pass certification exams. Thus, opportunities are provided to make contacts within the school and use resources to gain experience needed for employment in IT field. I think that CIAT courses are definitely excellent both for content and delivery of materials to be learned. The CIAT School experience was great. I definitely think it was worthwhile even though it was challenging and required student to do a lot of independent research in the discussions and labs were very detailed with written instructions. There are opportunities for video face-to-face instructions or telephonic instructions provided by instructors. Student services is also available to assist with course work or any issues involving accessing course materials. As with most endeavors, communication is important; thus, communicating with instructors or student services is important to overcome any challenges experienced during the course of studies. I would definitely recommend this school to anyone trying to start a career in IT.
