Crooks, Scam Artists, Liars shall I continue?
Sadly, I can't give out a negative star rating, too bad. Let me start by saying that the good reviews posted on here are probably from Career Point employees, because there is honestly nothing positive to say about this place. Allow me to...

SCAM!!!!
tori - 07/02/10 Oh maryw12381 - I sooo agree with you!!! LOL Poor Poor CPI. I was a Career Point student (not proud) in 06 passed with a 4.0 and had no good job leads like they claimed I would. They do just send you off to job fairs and...

worst mistake you could ever make!
This school is Terrible!!!! They aggressively presue you after you call to inquire about the school. Then once they get you into the office to "look" at the school they don't let you leave until they sign you up. Check this out, 3 of the...

Horrible School
DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY HERE! THE SCHOOL LOVES TO CLAIM TO BE ACREDITED AND EVEN CALL THEMSELVES A COLLEGE BUT THE TRUTH IS THEY ARE NOT ACREDITED THROUGH AN ORGANIZATION THAT MATTERS. AND POTENTIAL EMPLOYERS KNOW THAT. THE ONLY WAY TO...

I think this is the same lady that is on the Yahoo local pages bashing Career Point. Don't let the opinions of this one crazy fool you. This is a very good school and its sad that a few bad eggs don't get handed a diploma and make a big stink about it. Make a valiant effort at all cost, don't sit around and settle and expect stuff to fall in your lap.

Instead of bashing the school you shoud look for a job.
I don't know what school the other people went to, but my experience at career point was completely different. First off, the school is not all runned down as the previous person described it. I constantly see the maintenance working on projects here and there, retouching a wall with a fresh coat of paint, fixing anything that needs attention. Oh, and the vending machines are there. If you miss them, you may need to go get your eyes checked out. Besides, I don't know why anyone would rate a school on vending machines. Most of the computers have windows xp. The only ones that have windows 2000 are the ones in the typing class. But who would need more to type, it's not like you're going to be typing at 3000 words per minute. As far as the free laptops go, you have to be enrolled in the associates program, and taking online courses. You can't just walk up to your teacher and request a laptop. Everyone is going to laugh at you. What I see here is just negligence. One person somehow managed to miss everything, and is now venting with a review. And please take pride in what you do, self pity will get you nowhere.....Fast!

Take a step forward in your life.
I'm not going to sit here and argue with all these comments. Instead I'm just going to say that I'm grateful to career point. I don't know where I would be without the experience I got there. I can now say proudly that I did something in my life that actually paid off. I can single handedly support my family without having to send my pregnant wife out to work just to pay the bills. I appreciate what this school has done for me.

Take Control and Responsiblity for your Education!
CPC is accredited but anyone looking into college accreditation, particularly for private tech colleges, will have learned that it is best to start&finish in their programs. That's not unique to CPC. "Real" private colleges have similar issues w/ courses transferring to a state university. Folks that are complaining about this may not be familiar w/ traditional universities. Complaints about classrooms (run down, smell, people walking in&out) I agree could be a problem&should be reported when possible. Maybe they will have a owned campus one day,but this could impact costs so complainers should keep that in mind. If testing I would complain&move right then&there. It is your education&potential career. Take the outcome into your hands&stop complaining! Ultimately any college/tech training programs U will only get out of it what U put into it. When I see posts about parking, drugs, sex, skanky girls jibber-jabbering in the back of class&disrupting things...all sounds like what I experienced off&on while attending traditional universities so this isn't unique. Get over it/work around it/report it constructively&focus on what U need to do. The admissions process was informative, in part because I EDUCATED MYSELF on the school&their programs before going in. As an adult it's your responsibility, not theirs. No one can force U to sign up or take financial aide for school or daycare. That is ridiculous. Complaints about cost are unfair in my opinion. U always have options-go to Community College or another tech school if U choose. U may not like your options but U have them.U are paying a premium in tuition for a couple reasons-the time frame to finish is accelerated to put U in a position of employability as soon as possible.This is valuable for many. Taking the similar programs via traditional colleges would typically take longer. It is also a "private" school. They ALWAYS cost more. Regarding job placement leads-they cannot&do not promise U a great job, or any job. That is UP TO YOU. They offer U leads. There may be limited openings at the locations that have provided leads to CPC so there will be more people competing. That's life.U have to equip yourself w/knowledge&a good attitude to increase your chances of being the best candidate. And remember that right out of any program U are starting at entry level. It goes up from there typically depending on your work ethic&attitude. Once U get into the work place it matters little WHERE U went to school. It matters more THAT U went, did well, completed it, etc. Once hired it is up to U to display qualities of a good employee. Take pride in your educational efforts regardless of where U went. And strive to be a life long student. Work on always learning more about your chosen field. This is key. U know if U worked hard or not. If those around U don't, believe me that 9 times out of 10, it will prove out in the end when they are unable to keep jobs&constantly burn bridges behind them w/every job they are lucky enough to get. And EVERY orientation day at every school or job I've had could be described as a bunch of people coming in to tell U what&how to do stuff. That's the point. Suffer through&make it to day 2. I have gone to school or training of some sort for the past 22 years (not including grammar&High School)&have earned an Associates, Bachelor's&MBA along w/several industry IT certifications all thru non-traditional college attendance (working full time, going to school at night, weekends, etc.)&it takes work, suffering thru mediocre instructors at times, annoying classmates, etc. But it isn't about them....it's about YOU. Make it count.

the worst mistake i ever made!!!!
Career Point is a move i wish i had never made. I went there in 07 I was a young mother and wanted to make something of my life. What a mistake !!! as i was attending teachers were getting switched everyother week and at that as the work was getting tough the teachers didnt know what to do so i was left to fend for myself and figure it out myself. I know i didnt pay 15 thousand dollar to teach myself. It was pissing me off here i am now stuck in student loan debt and no degree. I am trying to file a class act against them because they were not accredited while i was attending i want to have them atleast wipe the student loan off my credit and off my name .i am so in debt because of this mistake i dont know what to do. DO NOT ATTEND THIS JOKE THEY CALL A COLLEGE attend san antonio college they are one of the best and there tuition is about 13 thousand dollars cheaper and they actually care about your education. BEWARE OF CAREER POINT COLLEGE it is a move you will regret.

Heres some positive
If looking to inquire about the college, the best thing to do is find out for your selves instead of basing it off of others opinions. Ask anyone and they will tell you the same.

mixed thoughs
I started at CPC in January for the VN program. The lady I spoke with and did paper work with was very unorganized. I called her twice to change my number and she never changed it. The day before when they make the phone calls, they were calling my references because she didn't write down my number.Worldwide > United States > San Antonio, TX > Specialty Schools
