I totally agree with the other two comments..the school is a joke, not enough teachers and the equipment is not state of the art...I graduated in June of this year and still do not have a job, they do not prepare you for a career at all..I wasted my time and money..choose another school believe me....

I agree with the student. Prism is the worst. Save your money do not attend the school. Students are unable to interview to gain employment due to the lack of basic skills. The place is horrible. Someone should look into the school and do an audit check student and employee retention. Talk with past employees talk with graduates who are unable to get jobs. Admissons sells false dreams and lies. Run away do not enroll.

institute is the only correct word for that place. they have a bunch of crazy people working there who need help. I wasted alot of time and energy attending this "school". it was the worse experience of my life and i'm sorry that i enrolled. they don't teach you the tools that employers are looking for. they don't even teach the basics like how to properly answer a phone, make copies, using a fax machine or any other office equiment that may be used on a daily basis in a medical office or any other type of office for that matter. there was no kind of communication between students and instructors. there wasn't anyone to talk to about any type of issues that a student might have been having. the campus director didn't want to talk to anyone about anything, if you did want to talk to him, he rushed you out of his office. instructors and administrative staff are always changing, computers were always breaking down and there wasn't an IT person on site all of the time. students suffer from lack of education after leaving that school and they need to be out of business not continuing to take people's money. alot of the time the students taught themselves because their teacher wasn't absent, quit or their teacher didn't teach just handed out packets and you were supposed to learn from that? if i could afford to buy a billboard and put how much that school sucks on it i would. GO SOMEPLACE ELSE, DON'T GO TO PRISM NON-CAREER INSTITUTE.
