Wrongful Termination
Thank you all for posting what you have regarding Carrington College, formerly Western Career College. My name is Ian T., and I graduated from Carrington College's MA program in Sacramento last year with honors. I am not working in the MA field. After attending the school and receiving my certification, I feel compelled to share with you that I am thoroughly mortified with my experiences and observations regarding Carrington College. I was oddly comported though, for lack of a more suitable term, by reading that a number of you, (We the students of Carrington), have had instructors cycling in and out of courses, all with rare exception having conflicting information and teaching "standards".
After graduating and rounding out my externship with two local medical offices, ( I left the first medical office 2 hours into my second day there, as it was quite clearly a pill/drug dispensary for drug addicts, {not the helpful and rehabilitative type}, and I wanted no connection whatsoever to that sort of facility), both providing substandard care in my opinion, I took it upon myself to do a little bit of research on the school, and what it is that Carrington College actually qualifies their students for professionally.
If you are reading this, you are surely well aware of the FACT that Carrington College does not provide their students with much at all, with the exceptions of hefty student-loan bills, and shattered promises of proper, thorough and professional training and certification. Simply stated, Carrington College is to a promising medically related career, as Radio-add casting calls are to entertainment careers. That being specifically, sensationalized smoke and mirror parlor tricks that distract many from what it is that is actually happening. There is no place for that in an educational setting.
I can tell you now, as a disabled Military Veteran who has proudly served in various medical capacities for years while enlisted overseas and in the U.S., how grossly inappropriate (and dare I suggest ILLEGAL) the practices are at this school.
If you are a person who is interested in a medically related job or career, I strongly urge you to acquire your training somewhere other than Carrington College of California, previously named Western Career College. Please spend ten minutes researching articles under those names, and you will surely find yourself breathing a bit easier having thereafter made the smart decision to look elsewhere for your medically related education.
Two questions. Just two.
(1) How is it that a medically related school that requires its students be properly immunized, (as they certainly should), often with threats of recycling courses or being dropped form the school if they are not immunized, requires no records of said immunizations?
(2) Who composes testing materials for Carrington College, and to what standards are those materials held?
Those were two very simple and completely reasonable questions. I have a lot more, as should anyone who realizes that being a part of the medical community is a huge honor, and is not to be taken casually.
Receiving proper and updated training is critical for your future patients health and welfare, and for your personal medical career. They deserve the best, as do you.
Please be wise, and be well~ Ian T~ 1-13-2012

Thank you Ian T, I could not have said it better. As a former student at Carington College, Graduating in 2010, Everyone person that I have talked to still in my class, not one of them are working in medical assisting, and I was a Deans List Student and missed one day because I had the flu!. I almost wish there was a way to get my money back! I feel I was rushed out the door with out any care. Don't go here.
