I graduated from Aquarius institute through LPN program in 2020. The program was flexible, and I was able to attend school , as well as be able to work. I would work in the morning, and attend school in the evenings.This was the best school , and I would highly recommend this school to anyone who is looking to advance their career in nursing. I passed my NCLEX within one try because of how well the school prepared us. I had great instructors, and Dr hope was such a great mentor. I can go on…

Everything in this school makes my life easier. The Professors are really good. Staffs are great. I will recommend this to everyone I know.!!!

I completed MRI Technologist Training Program. I cannot express how great the instructors were and the overall content of the material. The facility was very professional and there were no problems with connectivity.

I just finished my lpn program August 2021 and I give Aquarius Institute 5 stars. The course prepared me in every aspect needed to become an effective and confident LPN. I recommend this school to working students like me that needs further education.Thank you Aquarius Institute I am so proud to be a part of this program.

Just finished the ultrasound program.Was a great school with great instructors and clinical training. Highly recommend

Great program, very nice teachers and other staffs.I passed my board exam with one try.Highly recommend

I found Aquarius Institute online while searching for Ultrasound programs,and I am glad I found them and that I decided to go with them.Team and all teachers were amazing. When I finished classes the school placed me for echo ultrasound clinical site that I loved. I really learn something there,as everyone were really helpful and kind.Beside amazing staff,the price is decent for this kind of program.I would recommend this school for Ultrasound program or any other program,as they offer diferent ones...Thank you Aquarius 😊

Going to this school was the best decision I mad. It was a very quick program. It took a little over a year. They have some awesome instructors. Dr. Bonsu is a very great teacher who will help you if you ask. Nahid is a great clinical instructor. They were very helpful when there was a problem or I didn’t understand something.It is a lot of information to learn. But the teachers are willing to go the extra mile with you. This is the medical field, it takes hard work.

I found The Aquarius Institute when I was researching schools in the area for MRI Technologist training. It is definitely the cheaper of the few options that exist in the entire Chicagoland Area. This is my second career, after 33 years working, and I appreciated the succinct effort in getting me trained and pointing me in the right direction. The Administration was flexible and helpful as I navigated the clinical experience and set my goals for completion. The material is very challenging! but there were a couple of veteran instructors there that gave me excellent insights and inspired a thoughtful approach to the material. The other students were good to work with and most were committed to the training. In fact, I now have a crew of fellow students, and we keep in touch and compare notes. I have, overall, a very good opinion about the school and would recommend it to those interested in finding a meaningful career.

This is a good school for any hard working student that knows what they want. The staff is great,the tuition is affordable and the payment plan is very friendly. I am a proud nurse today, thanks to Aquarius Institute. I do recommend this school for busy moms like myself and you who thinks that nursing is too expensive. Aquarius Institute is a best school for you. You just need to study hard and good luck 👍

Definitely recommend Aquarius institute for studying Echocardiography and ultrasound.. the best teachers and staff .. affordable and short time for anyone who wants to start their carrier in the field..

The ultrasound program is a great program with awesome instructors! The administration is very helpful Steve helped me with everything I needed. Highly recommended!

It’s an Amazing school. I got an ultrasound program from here. All the teachers are really knowledgeable and helpful. Tuition fees plans are affordable. They start from the basics so that you can have a good understanding of clinicals. I highly recommend this school!!

This was an amazing experience from the very first class till my clinical. Payment were very flexible and convenient! Very knowledgeable, informative teachers! Awesome staffs! Great support, enthusiastic instructors all the way around the course. Internship was amazing, both instructors very proficient and help a lot during clinical.

Just finished the program and now im ready to apply for jobs. I would definitely recommend the program. Its affordable and you only take the classes needed to get certified. Great return on investment for awesome career.

Had such an amazing experience at Aquarius Institute which gave me an opportunity to become an Ultrasound Echocardiographer. Extremely nice place with amazing teachers and staff that work here. A lot of credit goes to Steve who is an admission advisor that helped me a lot throughout the whole process. He is always there to help and make sure that each student is on the right path. Definitely recommend Aquarius Institute!

Great school! Loved the teachers and administration staff, they are very helpful to accommodate your needs. Great ultrasound program, especially if you are already work in healthcare and just want to change medical fields. Totally recommend!

Great program 👍 very detailed, devoted staff always acted in the best interest of the students. This program works as long as you put in the effort and time to study, as a former student I am glad to attended the program, and I passed my nclex.

Very knowledgeable, informative teachers! Great support, enthusiastic instructors all the way around the course. Internship was amazing, both instructors very proficient and help a lot during clinicals.This was an amazing experience!

Great school great staff! Steve is amazing and stays on top of his work. Went here for MRI finished and doing well! Highly recommend.

I sign up at Aquarius for the MRI program and it saved me so much money from what others colleges would. If you’re looking for something quick this is the right school for it.

I had a great experience at this school. I found Aquarius through Google and Im happy I went here. Teachers and staff are great. Definitely recommend!

Top institution of learning with top tested & trusted professionals ready to impact your life in your chosen field.

Since day one the staff and teachers have been very helpful and kind!

Best instituteBest TeamGreat peopleWonderful time ever hadGreat educational systemAll the best Steve & Jamie

The Aquarius Institute was instrumental in providing the training necessary to obtain my Cisco certifications in Network Engineering, including CCIE Routing and Switching. Even though they no longer offer the Cisco courses in their curriculum, the training Aquarius provides in the medical field is outstanding, and definitely needed during these times we are currently in. The instructors are outstanding, and are available for not only current students, but former students as well. Aquarius will go out of its way to help every student excel in their chosen profession within the scope of the classes they provide.

I recently graduated from Aquarius institute LPN program. I passed my NCLEX the very first time. I had an interesting experience as all the instructors took their time to instill their best knowledge in us. We had great clinical instructors and not failing to mention the Dean of student who relates real life experiences to impact wisdom in student. Job referrals after school was expedited as I got so many recommendations from school and didn’t wait 3 days to resume work after receiving my license. I highly recommend this institution to other students.

I am currently attending Aquarius and the experience has been great, I an in the lpn program, Dr.Bonsu is a wonderful teacher he is patient with us, I have not did A&P in 20 years he makes it tolerable. So far so good. But it is a lil pricey but worth it, to answer any questions, YES you can sit for the NCLEX I called before I paid

I truly appreciate anyone who reads and responds. I tried my best to keep it interesting for anyone willing to read. I finished my L.P.N program last year at this school and I passed my state board for the first time. All the instructors was specializes in teaching students to focusing on core, contents NOT STRATEGIES your nervousness to be replaced by confidence, competence and PASS your Nclex Exam for the first time.

Hi , sorry would anyone let me know of they were able to take board exams and certify in the state?

School failing NCLEX passing rate again. will not enroll

I attended Aquarius Institute trying to pursue my career as an MRI Technologist. I loved the teachers I had and loved my experience! I was very satisfied and will continue recommending people to come to this school based upon my experience. Thank you Aquarius Institute and my amazing teachers for helping me succeed in life!

I graduated as MRI Technologist training program at Aquarius Institute, in 2014.The MRI Instructors were Awesome. Dorthea Smith is a all rounder Instructor, Dr Bansu was Great for Theory, as well as practical application of MRI Diagnostic Scanning point of view. They had provided me with 1000 + hours of Clinical Internship at MRI Center in Des Plains ILL. I started working in 2014 after got my licence on first attempt. Working as a MRI Technologist with Big name Hospital for last three years, because of Aquarius Institute, If some discourages you about MRI Job Prospects or Aquarius Institute, don’t listen, just do it ,you will succeed with hard work.

Sorry did not do this recommendation earlier, I called it like that because I will recommend this school to everybody. I was first class in this collage/institute for MRI Technology, and was very suspicions how it going to work, because needed a job asap.Now after all this years and very successful career. I need to thank and greet all my teachers for all help and support. This people deserve 10 stars if is possible because they always answer and explain all your questions.One teacher was my favorite, because she believed in me even more than I believed in my self. She set the job interview for me even before I finish the class. I was scared so much to get a job, but she sad: Go there and get that position, you can do it, I know you can. And I got the job. Her name is Mrs. Dorothea Smith - my angel , big Thank you.Now after 12 years in the field of MRI, I am Lead MRI Tech. in one hospital and got to thank to all teachers and all personal in this school.Your best student from the first class in 2005.

I had such a Great experience at Aquarius Institutes.I recently graduated at the MRI technologist program. The instructors were more than professional and very helpful. The administration staff are amazing.specially, Steve and Jeff there are always there for you . Aquarius Institues is a good start to build your carrier I will highly recommend this school to everybody .🎓🎓🎓

I finished the MRI program at Aquarius Institute about a year and a half ago. I am currently working full time as an MRI Technologist. Aquarius was a perfect choice for me because they have very convenient classroom hours and the accelerated MRI program is shorter then the college one. The school has very good teachers! They will teach you everything you need to know about MRI before you start your clinicals (if youre willing to learn of course... and if you dont want to study, then youre dumb enough to even think about the MRI profession! No offense)

They are very bad and heartless 💔

Aquarius was a great starting point with my MRI Tech program. Steve was amazing when it came to helping me with my hours and payments. The school assisted me in every class I took there, as well as checked up on me at every point when it came to my clinicals. With the training and education I got from Aquarius, I got a position as an MRI Tech. I highly suggest you check out the school if you are looking to get into MRI, Ultrasound, or Nursing.

I went to the LPN program here and I passed my nclex on my first try. All the instructors were great and very helpful with class and passing my nclex. They all prepared me for my boards exam. The instructors are hard, but its a good thing because this prepares us as students for our boards. The staff are also very great, they are more than willing to help if you needed it, just dont hesitate to ask. The school has a great learning facility and they are affiliated with good clinical sites.

Please do not waste your money going here I attended the school for 2days and I hated it tried to withdraw from the program and they told me I owe them $1800 This school is not accredited and classes are not transferable. tution is almost $20,000. There’s so many other schools in the area that is not as expensive and have better teachers they don’t even have tutoring

I really enjoyed taking the ultrasound course in this school. Very professional and educated teachers staff. Being a good student is awarded, the school assists with future employment.

I was a student of the MRI Technologist training program, the MRI Instructors were incredible. Instructor Dorthea Smith was all around, a Great Theory Instructor, and was able to explain from a practical MRI Diagnostic Scanning point of view. They had provided me  with 1000 hours of Clinical Internship at a MRI facility. This practical clinical experience made me confident and prepared me for the ARMRIT Board Exam. Very soon I will obtain MRI Technologist Job. My Wife went through the MRI Technologist training program with Aquarius Institute, she has been employed as a MRI Technologist for several years now.

First I would like to say that Aquarius is a GREAT way to get started in your career to success. I was a student there last year 2017 in which was a fast and effective course. Your learn absolutely everything you need to know to get started as a professional medical expert, as long as you put your mind and dedication to what you want to accomplish. I enrolled in the Sonography Program in which has excellent doctors and professional sonographer as my instructor that are there to make sure you understand and learn each concept along the way. The cost very reasonable, the time , and final result certified Ultrasound Technician. Once more I was very pleased with my whole experience. Aquarius staff members are always available to help no matter what. If your serious about you career and your future Aquarius is the way to go.

Great short period program and amazing instructors. I highly recommend it.

I am a proud graduate of Aquarius. I had great experience here. This course is quick and to the point the MRI instructor Dorthea Smith is very informative and will prepare you for the boards. What you do after is up to you. I am currently working at a hospital with many other ARMRIT technologist. So for those stating you can not get a job certified with ARMRIT you have given up to quickly, you have to work hard to get your foot in the door this is true but I know the students in my class that passed and tried hard to find a job are currently working technologist. Aquarius has given me a certification and education as promised in a much shorter time period then any other school.

All instructors were amazing! These people deserve 10 stars if possible because they always make go above and beyond to make sure the students get all the skills they need to succeed)))

Tried to get a hold of someone to ask a few questions about their programs but they have only one person who you are supposed to talk to and he was never available. The receptionist took down my name and number 2 times and said I would get a call back but never did. If this school is like this to begin with, wonder how it is to be a student there.

I completed the Ultrasound Technologist program in 2015. The teachers were excellent at explaining material and very helpful. Nataliya was a great Ultrasound Physics instructor. I passed the ARDMS- Physics exam on my first attempt with material given in class, plus an additional book that was recommended. The clinical training was excellent with Nahid . She is very patient and thorough when explaining scanning techniques. With the knowledge gained at Aquarius, I was able to find a job as a full time Ultrasound Tech at a hospital. I will say persistence is key in this field. It took some time, but with passing my exam and determination I am now an Ultrasound Tech at a hospital and really enjoy my job.

Love the Dean, LPN teachers & staff. Teachers are very knowledgeable in their field especially Mrs. Baker, Mrs. Banayat, Mrs. Torres & Mrs. Gussis. It was a grueling 1 year and a half with all the tests, exams, exit exams, ATIs, VATI, predictor & comprehensive tests but its all worth it.I cant thank enough the Dean whos been so patient and dedicated to her students. Im grateful she hang in there and oversee where we at and our progresses...Overall, Im grateful for the school, I passed my exam with 85 questions, first time try! I cant be happier, I am now looking forward for an exciting life as an LPN!

Steve is helpful but to Theresa commenting on the lpn first off they are brand new. Yes they do want their money . I like it and will be attending school there will always be obstacles but you have to comply.

This place is horrible, they say one thing during enrollment then do another. The refund process was frustrating and they kept majority ($2166)for attending 4 days. I’m giving you a heads up so you don’t make the same mistake I made.

Students that come from this school are always eager and ready to join the challenging field of MRI.

I recently graduated Aquarius institute at Ultrasound program. School has great teachers i loved them especially Nataliya is amazing Ultrasound Physic teacher she is very informative, energetic, kind person . I passed my SPI in my first attempt. Nahid from clinical she is very patient and teach you all tips at echocardiography. Highly recommended this school to everybody. Thank you for everything Aquarius!

Terrible teacher dr bonsu nutsu. Goes off topic constantly and teaches on a non professional level, skip it

I am a new graduate of the Aquarius Institute MRI program, and I can say with 100% certainty that this program is amazing. Compared to other MRI programs, Aquarius is cheaper, and has a shorter program. All the instructors were very kind and worked really hard to make sure you succeeded. The MRI program is acredited by ARMRIT, and anyone who says that you won’t get a job with being ARMRIT certified is wrong. From my experience and from what I have seen from other people, you WILL get a job if this is really what you want, you work hard, and you put your mind to it. You WONT get a job if you’re not certified ARMRIT, and you don’t work hard and show you care. I did my clinicals through an affiliate of Aquarius, and ended up getting hired straight away after finishing my 1000 hours. I would recommend Aquarius to anyone who is looking to become an MRI technologist, as it was the best decision I have ever made!

I started the program in September of 2015, In February Of 2016 I Took Maternity Leave, I Return To School In March Of 2017 To Finish, It Was Quite A Journey However The Staff Members/Instructors Are Supportive & Understanding I Successfully Finished This March Of 2018 With A Job Offer That I Started In April Of 2018, The Program Is 1 Year & Pretty Straight Forward Preparing You For The Real World In The Field Of Medicine, I Now Hold A Title I Value Of Cardiovascular Technician, I Enjoyed My Clinicals The Most ! Nihid Is The Very Best !! I Am A Successful Student 👩‍🎓 Because Of Aquarius Insitutie I Have A Skill & Certificate That I Can Use Anywhere In Life😌 I’m Forever Grateful, Thank You All. Especially Dr.Bonsu, Jeff & Steve For Always Encouraging Me Along The Way.Best RegardsChastity T’kala Robinson

Dont believe everything ARMRIT is a scam. Some of these comments are from the first years that the school open if you read they dont even tell if they are ARRT or ARMRIT. I went there and still dont have a job because they dont hired ARMRIT in all hospital. I worked in one of the hospital in Chicago as a PCT and the radiology manager told me they dont hired ARMRIT instead wanted someone with ARRT. On top of that, they asked me where did I go to school at. Unless you live in the Chicago area, thats were some of the ARMRIT jobs are. The program is so easy to pass because is all strictly business. Wassup with that school is supposed to be challenging for you to actually learned and helped you in the real world. Do your own research its hard these day to look for a job as an ARMRIT certified. If you google or go online you mostly see PRN jobs. ARMRIT is useless. They are even telling other students to post their comments here those that have jobs not everyone has a job. I very dissapointed at this school because I paid so. Much money that Im still paying for a worthless education and in top of that I am going to a community college and taking science courses to get in the nursing school. I am not the only one, they even have a complain in the bbb website regarding about their programs. Even their LPN program sucks and is to much money compared to the other ones are affordable and have a higher passing rate. Some of their students cant pass their LPN classes, they end up retaking some of those classes. is like they dont prepared them well or have enough material. Ill rather go to Americare or northbrook college

I graduated from Aquarous Institute. I have a great job, I was hired by one of the most well known haspitals in Illinois. I have worked doing MRI since I graduated in 2008. Aquarious prepared me to start MRI, they give me the base to get a job. It is up to the student to get the most out of the program. Compared to programs offered at colleges on the area, Aquarious school racks by far. Please dont put this school down. Last year I submited ACR for 4 of our MRI systems in the corporation where I work they all passed. Aquarious gave me way more than I could ever imaging.I am a proud Aquarious institute graduate.Thank youEstela

As the Director of the MRI Technologist training program at Aquarius Institute, I am responding to the Google Review posted by Arabella Herrera. Arabella claims that awhile back she was a student of the MRI Technologist training program at Aquarius Institute and upon checking our MRI students data base, Arabella was not a listed name within our data base.This could possibly mean she was not a student at our institute. It is possible that she might have dropped the program or for various reasons dropped out of our training program. There are several reasons why students might have dropped out of our program with some of the most common reasons being, ie: they failed in one of the courses, could not attend the necessary classes due personal reasons, or found the accelerated program too demanding.For an individual to evaluate the MRI Program at Aquarius Institute without ever having been a student of Aquarius Institute is an inaccurate evaluation. Also for her to state that only three MRI students in her class got jobs cannot be correct, since Arabella was never a student according to our database.The majority of our MRI students who have passed ARMRIT Registry exam, are currently working as an MRI Technologist. In some years we had even seen about 80% to 100% of our MRI graduates working in this field.ARMRIT stands for - American Registry of Magnetic Resonance Imaging Technologist, and is an actual MRI registry to certify only MRI Technologists . This means our students are trained to solely perform Magnetic Resonance Imaging and no other medical imaging exams.The ARRT is an abbreviation for American Registry of Radiologic Technologists. ARRT is also used in the medical diagnostic testing field. However, these individuals also perform x-ray exams and are also able to perform Computerized Tomography (CT) and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) with the appropriate credentials.ARMRIT recognizes Magnetic Resonance as a specialty, just like the American Registry for Diagnostic Medical Sonography or ARDMS is considered a specialty Registry for Ultrasound / Echocardiography imaging.ARMRIT is an approved Registry by Medicare and other insurance companies, and accredited by the American College of Radiology, ACR.I am sorry to say that this review is false or a fake to discredit Aquarius Institute. It also discredits our training program, and the hard work of our Aquarius Institute graduates who are helping patients every day by providing MRI scans with compassion and accuracy.Many of our ARMRIT certified students are currently employed by many hospitals in Illinois and several other states in the United States for the past several years.

Unbelievable. Only one person got a job in my class. Please stay away

I got a lot of training during the course, had hands on experiences during my 1000 hours of clinicals, found a job before passing my boards and now Im certified working for 2 major hospitals in Chicago.

I can not say enough about Aquarius Institute. I completed the MRI program in 2011. I have been working in the MRI field ever since. Aquarius put me in a position to succeed in a very difficult field to succeed in.

This school is a scam, they only want your money but they cant promise you a clinical site at the end of your course. Not worth your time and money, this school can only pass three to four students at a time. For the select few only.

The school is not accredited I was accepted in the LPN program and a friend of mine who is attending the LPN informed me on how they repeat students.
