Experience with Concorde Career College- Military Students?

I've been looking into Concorde Career College as they seem to cater to military students. But, I have no idea how they fare. Do they have a good reputation? I'd appreciate any feedback from anyone familiar with the college.

Concorde Career College is known for its career-oriented health care programs. They advertise that their programs are designed to prepare students for in-demand healthcare fields through hands-on clinical experience and comprehensive coursework. Their popular programs include Dental Hygiene, Nursing, and Respiratory Therapy.

As for catering to military students, Concorde Career College has been consistently recognized as a military-friendly school and they proudly participate in the Yellow Ribbon Program, which can assist with tuition costs beyond the yearly limit set by the Post-9/11 GI Bill. Keep in mind, however, that not all programs are covered under the Yellow Ribbon Program, so be sure to check whether your desired program is covered.

One thing to consider is that Concorde, like many for-profit schools, does have a higher tuition cost compared to public institutions. Make sure you understand all of the costs before making a decision, including any additional expenses such as equipment or uniforms and factor these into your budget, even if you're receiving benefits from the GI Bill.

Remember that military-friendly doesn't just mean financial support, but also takes into account factors like flexibility (important if you're on active duty), support for the unique stressors military and veteran students face, and job placement support for transitioning to civilian employment.

Lastly, it's important to know that Concorde is regionally accredited by the Accrediting Commission of Career Schools and Colleges (ACCSC), a recognized accrediting agency by the U.S. Department of Education. This means that their educational programs meet certain standards of quality. However, perceptions of the school's reputation can vary, and it's always worth doing a bit of research to see if the school's graduates are finding jobs in their chosen fields.

Taking all these points into consideration, reaching out to both current and former military students of Concorde Career College might provide you valuable personal insight into their experiences, infrastructure and support system. You could potentially connect with them through the college's alumni network or appropriate social media groups.
