Centura College-Virginia Beach

Myself, and seven other students in my batch that I knew/know, none of us found any work doing what we were going to school for. Was told we would be given externships doing what we went to school for… I ended up serving lunches and cleaning tables in a nursing home! Medical Assistant, yeahhh, right!

They do however have a handful of instructors that do care but that can’t change the operations of the school. Now two years later I am looking to further my education and no one will accept my degree unless I go back to Centura and that’s NOT happening. I will have to start over AGAIN and earn a degree that’s from a more professional and accredited school. So if you are happy with getting a trade under your belt and working for 10$ an hour knowing you have had the education then Centura is for you. If you want to dive deep into a professional career and chase that salary then go to a real college.

If I could give 0 stars I would.1st off the career advisors are very misleading, & will bug u even after business hrs as if there trying to get a bid. Once u enroll they walk pass u as if they doesn’t even know you. I’ve attended the Norfolk location when I tell you that’s the biggest mistake I’ve made since living in Va.

I'm a current student. I was leery at first, but after my appointment with my admission advisor along with my tour I was convinced that this was the educational choice/ facility I needed to try. Everyone (staff) is different compared to the reviews.The staff here now at the Norfolk location are wonderful and caring and I feel they want to make sure you're understanding the material. They show great interest in making sure that your successful in your future, and can represent. I love'em Keep up the good work Centura College Norfolk!

I have quite a few concerns about this school and what they promised upon enrolling in the MA program they have. They promised job placement and that never happened, actually I've graduated 3 years ago and I'm still not working in my field. Now here's where it gets interesting, I'm currently being garnished and in lots of debt behind this school.

Biggest regret and waste of money going here for the wind program. First thing you learn is that just about everything you do and learn at that school is pointless on the job and just about every cert. Offered is something a company will make you re take when you get hired. Was told I'd be set up for a job at Dominion power after I left not true.

Here I am, $40k in debt and no experience because no one would hire without externships and 6 months experience! Didn’t even make it past first interviews, found out what school I had attended don’t call us, we’ll call you. In one interview, quite literally, I was practically laughed out of the building… should have went to TCC and took the course, I’d be about $30k less in debt! Sick to my stomach every time I have to think about it!

This school is a complete joke, waste of time and money. I graduated with honors in Medical Billing and Coding. Prior to graduating, we were told an internship program would be starting. What a swift kick in the butt to hear this after completing the program and no internship was available prior. NO ONE and I mean NO ONE will hire you because you have no experience. Today I am paying back a loan with resentment. I wouldnt recommend this school to NO ONE.
