Hacienda La Puente Adult Education Learning Unlimitted

The Admissions Office has an employee that seems to be the main receptionist. This lady is rude & short tempered. The Financial aid Receptionist is extremely overwhelmed and disorganized. Financial Aid Dept. Advisors/​counselors are never available. This makes the process take months. I did enjoyed my child development instructor she is a great instructor.

The school has many good points but they have students who are inappropriate and crazy who harass other students and nothing is done about it. I even had an instructor who was inappropriate in his comments. They need to be stricter with behavior that’s tolerated and have real consequences. I also noticed nepotism at the administrative level.

Great school that has an awesome dental program. It’s state and nationally accredited. Cheaper then most schools and those private schools aren’t even accredited so you can’t take the state exams. This school prepares you for the state boards and helps you even find a job. Totally recommend it

I’m actually attending school here, it seems ok so far. Unlike schools like UEI, they don’t guarantee that they’ll get you a job right away. Some people in the office could be a bit less rude but otherwise it’s a decent place.

This is a Great school, if you like to waste time and money.
I enrolled into the Computer Hardware Repair and Network class, yeah, what a waste. Nothing I didn’t already know was taught here. They have great salesman as teachers here. They sell you quick and easy careers. I enrolled with the thought in mind that i would learn the adequate qualifications for testing only to find out, the teacher doesn’t even teach anything. Sure there is a lecture taught but that only lasts for about 3 weeks into the 5 month course and even then, the lectures are about 30 – 40 minutes full of regurgitated information from a textbook the teacher obviously plagiarizes. In the orientation the school forces you to attend, the salesman aka teachers will promise you things such as «you’ll learn more here then you would at a community college simply because I allow you hands on» and he was right about one thing, he allows hands on but doesn’t teach anything other then how to re install an Operating System. The sales guy claims to be connected to the «industry» when in reality, all he does is spend his time in class on forums pertaining to the IT world.
I suspected the sales guy was being monitored by the school district because we constantly were told we were going to have «superintendents from the district» because he is trying to get us new computers … well to be honest, that’s the only time he actually taught. He warned us before these people came to «be on our best behavior» and if we were occupied with anything «pretend like your working on something.»
The class has maybe 80% computers from the like 2000 that use a Celeron processor, 95% still operate on windows XP. Today is April 29, 2013 and Windows 8 is available, why are we using something from 13 years ago? In the ad for the classroom, it is advertised we will be taught MAC OS X and Cisco server systems, I’ve been here almost a year and we have yet to discuss either one of those. If you’re wondering why i stayed here for almost a full year, i’m here because i gave him the benefit of the doubt and thought he was actually going to teach … nothing happened. I’ve literally wasted a whole year here, I’ve wasted one year of Financial Aid.
Now, the financial aid process here is terrible, really really terrible. The financial aid guy pretty much sets his own schedule and comes in whenever he feels like it seems. The poor receptionist at that office seems to be the one that works the hardest. She’s a lovely women (Elena is her name) she really tries to help as much as she can but she has limited authority.
All in all, this school is terrible. I’d advised anyone to stay away. Go to community college, there is no easy way around and education. I’m 25 years old and I’ve tried just about any route possible but the only way is College.

Schools like this are the reason you stick with the junior colleges or 4 year colleges for career training. I went to this adult school because they do offer the classes you are looking for. They put you through the ringer. They make you sit through 5 hours of orientation. What a waste. It’s the biggest waste of time ever. They treat you like you are a kid. They don’t let you register until you have completed their orientation. The school claims the classes for the health care fields will prepare you for certification. DO THE RESEARCH. You will prepare for certification that the employers don’t even recognize. If you come here because it’s the fast and sure path to a new career — think again! Anything that is too good to be true is not. Even if you get through the classes; you’ll realize that the classes here are not enough to get the actual certification employers want to see. Come here if you want to kid yourself into taking the easy and fast road is the way to go. Save your money and time and find a school that the accreditation boards recommend.
