I love Pima. Our instructor has taught us a lot. We get to do lots of hands on work with the animals including drawing blood and putting in catheders.Plus much more. If you can manage to keep up your attendance and not miss 12 days you will do good.. People just think they can miss a whole bunch of days and get surprised if they get kicked out!!They also got me started on my classes like, a week after I applied.I also got help with finacial aid. My particular experience with this school has been positive. I get excited to go to class everyday because I have learned soo much.

the instructor read from the book, no individual attention or tutoring was offered, changed instructors two times, saw lots of videos, poor discipline in the classroom. it is a joke and a waste of money

My son was attending Pima in Albuquerque, but the instructor was not a certified instructor. There was constant friction between the class and the instructor. I did try to resolve the matter with the director in albuqueruqe but that was s joke. I did go as far as making contact with the person that oversees this campus and really did think we were making some leeway, but to no avail. My father passed away and my son had to miss a few days for the funeral and guess what they withdrew him form school. They got there money, my son is has spent 10,000 dollars for nothing.
