ACI Learning Reviews

Curtis Whipple is new to teaching, however, he is passionate about teaching and likes to show the tools he used to study. I enjoyed listening to him lecture. Not just clicking through slides.

At the end of the day, I will have to come back and revisit every topic to prep myself for the certs. The time allotted was not enough, even with spending 4 additional hours of my own time to figure out what I just covered that day. The approach needs to be adjusted, to ensure actual learning is taking place.

Worth Repeat here: A total money grab since no one is readily available and when an issue arises, most won't reach back immediately on urgent matters. Only instructors are the most accessible at ACI. All other entities usually ghost us both through my personal experience and through keeping in touch with ACI Peers within Discord or other media platforms. That is why most of us never jump on the monetary incentives to bring in future students. The overall experience is a 1 STAR. But all of you at the ACI administrative level continuously argue with those of us sharing this complaint about ACI as if it will remedy itself by the fact that we all move on, and new fish enter the shark tank at ACI. That a risk you continue to take a chance on but when the fallout hits, nothing will save ACI because either VA (GI Bill, VRE, Vet Tech), Active Duty (Skill Bridge) or Texas Workforce (Ready to Work) programs will continue to receive enough complaints from all of us to those programs funding us that the time will come that ACI will no longer be an approved program to be funded by them. So, you (the person reading this at ACI), you can ignore my input or attempt to continue to improve your processes and at least make your staff accountable for the time it takes them to respond to urgent matters and especially create a survey to address how your career placement department is doing once we are done with our physical courses. Who holds them accountable for the assistance that is already paid for to help with job hunting, resume building, etc. This whole work-from-home business allows for very questionable practices to set in as norms and doesn't allow ACI to keep its staff to continue to make the students' success the overall objective, which equals continued recommendations and free advertisement as we each are living testimonies of either for or against ACI.

We need more emphasis on labs. If we are required to do labs at home, we need at least a week in between to catch up before the next course.

Yall have some work to do. Make the class longer and for your students success. at $15K a head yall could have things like Microsoft office 365 and ADOBE on the computers as well.

Was a great experience overall. Instructors did well. More time to do lab work as well as the course information having better more understandable material would need to be improved upon

Thanks for providing the opportunity for veterans to be able to enhance their portfolio!

I wish that I'd had a better understanding of how the course would run from the beginning and I think that I could have been much better prepared for Mr. Fedd's teaching style. We had subsequent discussions with Mr. Fedd to discuss the gap between our expectations and what the program delivered, He was receptive, and hopefully will take our input into account in our next sessions, or with whomever his next group is. I think that it is ONLY fair to say that given my current understanding of how the courses roll, I don't think that changing instructors will be a huge difference. I do believe that it is VITAL that students know to read ahead, at least some portion of the lesson so that you aren't completely lost in class.
