My experience at Carrington has been life changing. I just finished with their Medical Assisting program and I'm so sad to be leaving (physically) because the culture at Carrington is sm amazing. All the students and staff are like a family and everyone cares about each other and supports one another, regardless of the program. I have friends in dental, vet, massage, and pharmacy too that I love seeing and talking to because everyone at that campus is so amazing. I love Carrington so much that after graduating from the MA program I have decided to go back and pursue my associates in health studies, so Carringtons not saying goodbye to me quite yet lol. I recommend anyone that is looking for a starter job in the medical field to check out Carrington. They are awesome!

I'm currently in the pharmacy technician program and I love it! My teacher is amazing! She wants all of us to succeed and does everything she can to make that happen. If theres anything I need help on or am confused about I have no trouble getting a hold of her and she will go through whatever is challenging me asap. The program was easy to get into they helped me apply and get my financial aid. So far it's been fun and challenging and I feel like I'm learning!

I'm currently in the Spokane MAA Online program. This is my 3rd Term. I'm very honored and priviledged to be a student at Carrington College. They have the best staff and students. Everyone wants to see you succeed!!

I am especially thankful to have been able to recently graduate with an AAS in Health Studies. The whole Carrington team is wonderful. I am thankful for everyone who invested in my success, including other students. The Portland campus helped prepare me for the online journey through the Spokane campus. When I first started, it was the graduation success rate of Carrington that guided my decision to choose this learning institution. I agree with Carrington's core values and commitment to integrity.

I’ve had the best experience so far, I’m the black person in class but everyone makes feel like I belong, I would definitely recommend if you don’t want to waste your time taking useless classes in a community college. They have the best hands on experience and of course the best instructor. Beth is definitely the best, she cares for all of her students equally. Her class is the best.

Didn't have that great of experience night instructor is a bully to people and the school is aware of this if you can't handle her and want to transfer to day time you'll fall behind and have to wait in other classes to roll by cause there not a lot of options there good at taking your money and giving your stipend check at later times most often after you finish course or couple after or not at all and you have to bug them to find out why we're you have to ask them repeatedly same question. Have heard them say they have favorites in class that they have made mentors and gave them special treatment.

The best instructor at this school was last one I had before externship she was always nice,accommodating,friendly, treated everyone the same great teacher, patient and willing todo whatever to help you succeed her name was Beth. Carly was best friendliest nicest front desk person and it be shame if they lost her! Also pretty sad I decided not to further my education with them and went somewhere else.

This so called college is just like TREND College that was in Spokane Washington for years. Tend accepted my student loan, I had high grades and 100% attendance. But after graduation I could not find a job that recognized my degree or pay more then minimum wage. I now people who graduated from Carrington College that graduated with great grades and attendance who could not find jobs. Carrington will send them out on interviews…..but they never get hired. When these former students ask for guidance on what they could have done in order to get the job. The suggestion are like maybe they need to spend money you don’t have on a new wardrobe……or change your personality…..loose weight, etc. I guess they are great ideas but in the short term they really need a job to afford new clothes or afford guidance on how to loose weight. I ended up joining the military to pay off my student loan from Trend College…..and contacting the Better Business Bureau on the colleges questionable practices. I have friends that have gone to colleges like Carrington that have a better business structure that are now executives at the companies that worked with the college’s to hire them……with no other education. The only time you’ll become an executive coming out of Carrington is if you go to another college and get an actual degree. I recommend for any student to do their research and go to a better college that has a better reputation. Also one that can help get you a decent job…….a job that’ll pay your bills.

I would definitely not recommend. I started the massage therapy course to help my disabled father and gain financial stability, the worse learning experience in all my 45 years. Glitches galore, locked out of courses daily, three different teachers for one class in a week, all teaching different things. And when you ask for help, they force your senior classmates to teach you. So if you're not one of the 'popular' kids, don't expect any help because those students don't get paid to teach. Never ever take out a loan with them, I now owe over 1300 bucks for two weeks of class and have been harassed every day since. I call and no one will tell me what it's for. Scrubs are required @75$ a pop and you have two sets.All work is done on an ipad, $500. No idea what the rest is for, but now my credit is ruined as well. I reached out for financial help, as I'm not employed, but no one responds. This school has ruined me financially.

Carrington build up their programs to be the best, all of these amazing helping programs with in. I was greatly disappointed, the money I invested was not worth the program and education I recieved. I loved my teacher dearly, she was amazing. Staff was constantly flipping and no one knew what was going on. My grad class got screwed.

I would never recommend this school to anyone wanting to be a medical assistant. First they allow students who bully, lie, and cheat without any repercussions. My class from term 2 was pure drama and we had to put up with it because …

What a total waste of time and money, really. Most of the teachers aren't even real teachers, they didn't help me get a job in my selected field of billing and coding, but when I did get one I soon realized this was the real world and not …

Everyone at Carrington College located in Spokane Washington was so kind and considerate. The Curriculum was challenging and I am excited to say I'm a licensed massage therapist now. My time at Carrington hopefully will be remembered tillbthe day that I die. Thank you for everything you've done to make me a professional.
