I love the school it was so good and the dean of education Trevonda helped me a lot. The new program director for PT program Patel is simply awesome Ms.Vicks and Mr. Eric are another good teachers on campus if you guys wanna go to the school I would recommend you to go only for PT and make sure you have one of these teachers teach you they know what they’re doing unlike others

The information on the school website says it is accredited by the JRCERT but it is not. The school lost their accreditation after being on probation and finally losing it. The school can not meet the standards to keep the JRCERTs accreditation. Their graduation rate listed on their website is based on the amount of people who graduate after retaking their last class, and even then the rate is entirely too low.

This school failed me out of their program because I did not make a certain grade but then bumped up another persons score so that she could move on to the next term. So much for no favoritism ha. Glad I went into debt for that. I don’t know why they’d want to fail me anyways when the class before me started with twenty somethin and only a handful of them made it to the end. What a joke.

This school is a POS. They so unorganized it’s sad. They can’t teach for nothing in the world, and it seems like they hire anybody to teach. Don’t waste your time or your money it’s not worth it. AT ALL. I am highly disappointed and disgusted with everyone who is associated with this POS. They fill you up with bs just to fail you. lol don’t do it.

This school is horrible!!! Marva Kemp & Kim Bell are very unprofessional, the president of the school is also! He’s no help either! Marva Kemp has her pick and chooses on who can attend her program or the school! I put a magic spell on all 3 of them! They will learn who to play with an watch how they handle Gods children!

I overall enjoyed my time at Fortis, but the downside is the lack of quality lab time and hands on that I got, and I feel like the curriculum needed to be changed. I also feel like the teachers waited a little late to start reviewing for the CST exam with us. The school is also a little unorganized in my opinion. There are some positives though! The teachers are really cool and they make you feel as if youve known them forever, and theyre always there to help! They also push for you to pass exams and they crack down on you about studying! They give you tough love too! But the tough love is for the best! Career services is also very helpful with applying for jobs and financial aid is helpful as well with finances !

I loved attending Fortis. Every instructor went out of the way to make sure we all passed. All of my courses were helpful. I would recommend this school to anyone who wants to further their education.

I started the Surgical technology program at Fortis in Baton Rouge without a clear vision of what my future will hold. After being less than 6 months away from finishing the program, I am very determined and prepared to start my career. Mr. Phil was a lot of help with career services.

At first I thought this school was a great choice, but it wasn’t long before my views on the school was changed. Everything sounded good at first until you find out no one is on the same page and no one knows the answer to any of your questions.The worst experience I had here was due to attendance. I missed three days because of military purposes. I gave the dean and my two instructors a copy of my memo from my unit, signed by my commander. I did miss a couple of days after that, two because of being sick and another because my husband left due to military purposes and I wanted to be with him that morning before he left. I can understand the days I was sick being inexcusable because I didn’t bring a doctor’s note. The days that I missed because I had to be at drill should have been excused period.The way attendance work for Fortis College- Baton Rouge is your attendance is worth 10% of your grade, but if you fail attendance, you fail the entire class regardless if you have a passing grade. You have to do an appeal to justify why you missed with appropriate documentation (which I had given in the beginning). Here is the trick though, the appeal is only to let you pass the class overall or fail it. So, if you have an 89% Avery grade in that class, that’s with the 10% taking off for attendance, you still fail unless your appeal if approved. If you are failing regardless of attendance, they won’t appeal it for you anyway.The attendance policy is very unethical for people who have families or anyone period. The staff, including the president, come to work late and don’t show up some days, but they still hold the students to “Fortis” standards for attendance. They document every minute you are late or leave early so that it will add up to fail you.If your have a family, if you are pregnant, trying to have a family or even just trying to better your life by going to school DO NOT I REPEAT DO NOT GO TO FORTIS COLLEGE. They do not support people with families morally. If your child is sick and you have to stay home with them, they don’t care if you do all your work at home and still have an A in the class, if you are not sitting in a seat at Fortis College for three to five hours, it still counts against you. You have a doctors excuse, good, but it will not change your grade.There is one lady there that just need to be fired period. I’m not going to say her name on here, but if you ever go to Fortis College and she is still there, you will know exactly who I am talking about. She is bluntly rude.Some people told me some things about this school and I should have listened. I didn’t listen, but I can warn others about this school.

Overall I was very pleased with my experience at Fortis and would recommend the school to anyone that wants to better themselves and improved their standard of living. The instructors are extremely dedicated to the students and willing to help you in anyway they can.

I heard its a piss poor school and the teachers there bring their problems to work talking about their husbands and family. I thought it was a place of learning. Not to mention it seems like they may have gotten the teachers off of a site where teachers cant teach any where else. They work to fail you and take your money. No thanks, Ill pass!!!

I love attending Fortis College. Every instructor I had was very concerned about my well being and made sure I had every material I needed to pass my course. All of the faculty is kind and they all want to see you succeed. I would recommend this school to anyone who wants to get their MBC Diploma/Certificate.

School is great for how far I went into it. If you want to know HVAC Mr.Willie and Mr.Pat are the people you need to talk to. We could’ve went to the lab a bit more for my tastes but it is what it is. The President john as I know him is an unfair person if you plan on going there and you not of his likings then you need to watch out he will blatantly ignore and disregard you. Then when you stand up for yourself he will suspend you without cause and then you willHave a hearing which you won’t be notified of. On my two week suspension I went and got my Universal EPA license for hvac at the local supplyHouse and landed a job but I already had experience in the hvac field long story short. I went to see what it was about and I liked it but overall I wouldn’t return I’ve been on my own for months and honestly you will learn in the field if you are even slightly mechanically inclined and can read on your own. If you can find someone who does HVAC already just join them because what you learn in class it’s going to completely change when you go into the field and especially when you go into the attic.

The MLT program at this school is very unorganized. The teachers in that particular program do not care about their students. They always stating the fact they will get a pay check no matter what. They always losing your paperwork and class work. The staff at this school is horrible. Fortis is all about receiving money. The admissions reps couldnt give me no information on the program. The dean of students does not care about the students well being.....all he cares about is how many students the school got so he can keep job...this was the worse school experience i ever had....if you want a good school experience please do not go here try a school in the surrounding area....this school is about receiving your money....far as job placement they do not help you find a job

The program I took was sterile processing technician. The program is 9 months each classwas 6 weeks long including externship. Classes were simple and fast , teachers were very nice and willing to share there expirences. Directors give you the motivation to keep going and stay on top of your career. Overall, my favorite part of the program would begoing out to externship at the hospital and getting hands on learning.
