Misleading and Dishonest
I attended ECPI for medical administration, I drove 1 hour, one way, 4 days a week to find that some of the classes were sometimes running late or rescheduled due to teachers quitting at random for unknown reasons. The teachers who replaced them were deficient in the medical field and unhelpful. Since I received no financial assistance to help pay a tuition fee of $75.00 per month I had to find a job which forced me to miss a few days of class. I was very surprised to find a postcard in the mail informing me that if I missed anymore days I would possibly have to take the class again! The staff is unprofessional and not qualified to equip students with the knowledge it takes to work in the medical industry. Organization is something that you will not find here. As far as financially, I owe $10, 000.00 for attending 5 1/2 months of school and have absolutely nothing to show for it. I saw none of the student loan money and went farther into debt by only working part time and driving so far. I strongly urge anyone thinking about attending this school to try a community college or university. Financially it makes since not to attend ECPI, people I know who did graduate were not satisfied with the job placement and the diploma you will receive is worthless. The worst part is none of the credits I received can be transferred. And reasonably so. Don't make the same mistake I did.

# The teaching staff will give one class an easy test and then change it to a really difficult exam for other classes. I never thought there was anything wrong with this, however it became a problem when half of the answers on the new tests were incorrect. No doubt because the new tests where made with no revision or review. Teachers that dont want to be teachers not putting the time into the exam materials. They just do not care. They probably needed to fail out a few more students because thats what the classes are designed to do. Reduce class size to a manageable small group for clinical or hospital training. Instead of hiring on more staff to cover larger clinical groups students are simply failed out by unethical means such as tests with material not covered at all.
# WOW
# Well known also is that most nurses smoke. That includes the ones teaching at clinical assignments. This means that they are outside the building smoking about every twenty minutes or so. So here again it is easy to see that the students are all getting that maximum education from ECPI College of Technology. Right! That also means nobody knows really the kind of care patients are getting.
# Watch out for ECPI College. They are very smart and deceptive. In all their contracts they put an ARBITRATION CLAUSE. To be direct this means that after they get your money and throw you out you have to go to virginia where their main office is and pay 700 dollars to have your claim hashed out by an arbitrator. This protects ECPI College from ever having to go to court where you as the student could get a fair hearing. Thats really low. Imagine the dirt these people must be to put that clause in their contract. The lowest of the low.
# The charlotte campus really has their scamming down to a science. Its really ingenious to be able to tap into the hopes and desires of so many people to scam them for money. Last I heard the ECPI Bums charged each student 25, 000.00 for the one year LPN program and about 50, 000.00 for the two year RN program. This skummy money is what they suck out of people who are simply looking to be educated and show kindness to the rest of humanity.

School of Dishoner
ECPI College of technology is not a good choice for an education. It is a private school and has no respect for its students. At ECPI the focus is on how to draw the maximum dollar out of every student not how to educate them. The students education is not relevant at this school.
* The LPN / RN medical school is the worst of all the programs for the students. Although it is the schools cash cow.
* The school encourages violent exchanges between students to keep them occupied with alternative discussion besides the poor programs and total lack of accountability.
* The entire nursing staff is located in a single eight foot by ten foot room to encourage infighting and the desire to blame the students rather then where the blame truly belongs.
* Students are not given access to lab facilities and lab learning.
* They never tell perspective students that just about fifty percent of them will fail out of school and that the school keeps their money before they start.
* Students can also be failed based on hospital performance which they are not told in advance either and since there is no hospital training its very easy to throw out students basically at will for any reason.
* Also known as MEDICAL CAREERS INSTITUTE
There are errors all the time at hospitals on patients that are just covered up . Students cant function in a real time environment due to instructors poor teaching. I say its time for discussion about this topic and especially ECPI school of technology.
* Teachers regularly debase and threaten students with failure to add tension to an already aggravated situation. It gives them great pleasure to stomp out students.
* Here is a real zinger if I ever heard one. The schools credits cannot be transferred anywhere. In their infinite wisdom the board of nursing accredited this school but nobody else would. If you pass five or six classes here they are complete garbage because no other school will accept them.
* Thats another fact they fail to tell perspective students before they take your money. This school is sounding better and better right .
* It only gets better from here.
* The Board of Nursing is the accrediting body for nursing schools. This is why there is a nursing shortage. Its not that there are not enough qualified people. Its that The Board of Nursing wants there to be a shortage like an old style union with absolute power. They make sure that the community is always in need therefore the paychecks will always stay high which inturn raises hospital operating expenses and our overall healthcare cost.

Rip off!
ECPI was a complete rip off. I went to ECPI with the hopes of pursuing a career in criminal justice. My teachers were great, I learned a lot from them. However the Administration was very lacking. They say you can complete their courses in less than two years, and that is true if the class is offered. I had 5 or 6 classes left and some of them kept getting canceled. Because of this my graduation date kept changing. The told us the reason the class was canceled was due to a lack of students. I spoke with several students who were also set to take that class. There was around 10 of us signed up for the class. I had taken classes with as little a 4 students in it, so for them to say it was canceled due to a lack of students is a lie. So not only did they lie to us but the blamed it on us as well. Needless to say I did not get to complete my course at ECPI. It was a waste of my time and money. I would never never recommend ECPI to any one.
