This school is as fake as schools could get. They lied about everything.I never received any training in phlebotomy I was denied entry into my CPR training classes by the staff and teacher I only had that class and my externship to do and never was able to complete it.I was dropped from the school because of it and now in debt.You dont receive the proper training.But get changed 15,000 in tuition and now they claim the campus is closing

Wonderful place to work. HR and the CEO announced earlier when asked if PTO could be rolled over due to Covid. Per HR they should be happy they have a job.

Great nurse teachers. Great place. But the office is more worried about enrollment and misleading people in pay. I told them I needed something that paid as much as trucking if not more. The school gave me 3 options they thought I might would be good in. One I wanted but couldn’t do because of carpal tunnel. I didn’t want billing and coding. So clinical Medical Assistant is what I chose. They told me pay range is between $15.00 to $18.00 an hour. Ok what I make in trucking. Local. After school starts I start questioning a few things and call every clinic Doctor Hospital in the phone book. It starts out at 9.00 and up to $14.00. Not to mention the program is close to $16,000.00 with Government grants and student loans then count interest in to that and going to school for 15 months. Not worth it. Better to stay trucking.

Blue Cliff is an excellent way to start your career in the medical field. For a program that only takes 9 months, youll get an incredible amount of hands on training. The teachers and staff here are exceptional as well! They will go out of their way to ensure you succeed! You wont find a better environment for success.

Such a great and amazing school! The teaching staff does a wonderful job preparing students for a future job as a medical assistant. Knowledgeable and caring, firm and respectful. I went in as a student unsure if I had made the right choice. I was given words of encouragement and helpful advice and reassurance of myself. They helped me every step of the way. I became a mentor to inspire other students and eventually an ambassador. I went to my extern site confident of myself and skills. I was hired on and I am now the office manager. I love doing what Im doing and with the help of blue cliff and the staff I am fulfilling a dream. THANK YOU BLUE CLIFF COLLEGE AND THANK YOU TO THE TEACHERS AND ADMINISTRATION STAFF. I will recommend this school to everyone.

This school is pretty neat. Staff is very welcoming! Teachers like Ms. Mueller, teachers who care about the students, also make the experience at this school so much better and much more involved in what we learn. Even though I am still not done with the program, Im confident enough to say its really great.

I would advise anyone to do more research before deciding to attend blue cliff the staff is horrible. I was attending the medical assistant program but I drop out and attend nwacc, blue cliff doesn’t want to cancel my student loan so I can be awarded at nwacc and this is preventing me from taking summer credits. The financial aid administrators doesn’t even know how to do their job and are lazy as f

My experience with the Blue Cliff Faculty and Staff has been nothing short of great! When I originally inquired into their programs everyone I worked with was so helpful and friendly. I ended up going in a different direction but I feel there is something to be said about a campus faculty and staff that can make someone feel like more than a number.

Your hopes, your dreams, and your faith...it all begins with your love and passion for what you want! I chose Blue Cliff College because they had the program wanted for so long, and the staff helped figure out how I could afford to do it. Going to Blue Cliff wasnt just for me, I chose to do better myself for my children.Thank you so much Blue Cliff for helping me make a change.

This college is an amazing school to go to. All the staff members are very helpfully and caring. There was days I didn’t think I could make it through but 9 months later I made it and have job as a MA. Thank you for all the hard work to the teachers for putting in the time to make sure that everyone is successful.

This is not really college and does not have any programs that have any national accreditation is what my high school counselor told me when I told them where I when to school. So mad at myself for not looking into the school more before I spent so much money on loans to go there. Blue Cliff college is a scam that gets kids to get student loans so they can pay for a poor education and get nothing when they graduate. My aunt is a registered nurse and I could have gone to a junior college where credits transfer to real college and still could have got a medical assisting job. Same thing I was told by the nurse at my doctors office.Please dont spend 15000 for blue cliff and get nothing but teachers that read out of books, cheating is the norm, no one cares whether you learn the material and it does not help you get a job after school. Also their certificates dont mean anything nationally. I dont know how they can be a college at all. Before spending money there beware and look at the all the reviews online and talk to people who have been there before. They are a joke and the most impressive thing about them is the sales pitch before you start and they help they give you in filling out financial aid forms. If I was smarter would realized why they were so helpful. This place is a definite scam and shame on blue cliff or taking my student loan money and the money of all those other people.

I attended the Massage Therapy program, but had much interaction with the main campus. When I arrived on campus to speak with Rudy about enrolling, I was greeted by smiling faces and kind dispositions. I was in, enrolled, and out in two hours. Ariel and Billie were wonderful throughout my time at Blue Cliff, giving me guidance and helping me complete the necessary steps to graduate. Thumbs up Blue Cliff.

Blue Cliff lost my transcript and show no records of me attending. I have the school loans, but no transcript. I have begged for their help but I havent received a phone call or email from anyone. I guess they are too busy making more money.

I love Blue Cliff College. I would highly recommend this college to anyone asking. I enrolled in the MA program and loved it. The teachers and staff are amazing and really care about your success. I had a few health problems and they worked with me to ensure I was ok and never missed anything in school. I was allowed to make up my time and turn my work in. You really form a strong bond with your classmates and teachers. School becomes a home away from home. Since graduating I was hired full time at my extern site and love my job. I still feel comfortable going back to the school to ask any questions I may have and everyone is still so welcoming and helpful. I really do miss my Blue Cliff Family.

Im so glad i decided to attend blue cliff college. Hands on training was amazing and once I was on the field I felt really confident about the knowledge I learned. I had instructors guide me through the process and faculty was always attentive. Ive been a medical assistant for 3 years now and love what I do on a daily basis.

Books were late almost every semester, have paid for books through my tuition that I have never used, administration is really lacking what it takes to run a college like this efficiently.. The teachers are fantastic though!

I graduated from Blue Cliff College, and I am not sure why some post are saying they do not help with Job Placement, they called me with different job positions available several times before I decided! They are accredited and recognized by the United States Department of Education. I am a graduate from Blue Cliff College and I am proud and happy!Update** My Sister also graduated from Blue Cliff College in the Medical Assistant program. She started off making $14/hour and then got bumped to $15/hour. After 4 years of work, with no additional education, she has now taken a leadership position in the Medical Field and makes over $50,000 per year. Each facility, business/company, is going to pay different. The Bureau of Labor Statistics states that the national average pay for a Medical Assistant is $16-$17/hour

My daughter has been going there and her experience has been nothing but negative. She had to make up some hours and since the dean did not see her personally decided that she had to retake some classes. Even though other teachers had seen her. This is the second time it is happened. Plus the credits are non-transferable.

Teachers and staff are wonderful and very helpful. I returned to college later in life and found encouragement from the teachers that helped me succeed in a second career. Thank you Blue Cliff College.

I started the Health Information Management Billing and Coding day class in April of 2017. As I progressed through school, I came upon many challenges that face a college student today. With every challenge that I faced through my journey, there was always an advisor or teacher, that would do their best to help me. Now there were some minor hiccups, which is to be expected. My teachers were always there when I had a question, or just needed someone to vent too if I was frustrated with myself over a certain subject I was in. And they were always the first ones to congratulate me for a job well done. I graduated with a 3.88 GPA. I could not have made it there without my teachers and the staff at Blue Cliff.

The teachers are horrible and the main campus wont do anything about it. If you want to be a massage therapist I think you should go somewhere else because I learned nothing from the teachers. I paid thousand of dollars to teach myself what a wasted of my time and money.

As a supervisor of one of the clinics that accepts Blue Cliff extern students, I will say that the students are very well trained. I have the pleasure of working with several RMAs that came from Blue Cliff College. Their in-depth understanding of Anatomy, Phlebotomy, and basic communication skills is proof that Blue Cliff College provides an excellent opportunity for students to advance in their careers.

This a Blueprint of the dos and donts to survival at this campus. There is a lot to say about this school in negative ways, but Ill save that for another day. If youre going to attend this school maintain professional behavior at all times and dont allow yourself to lose focus of who you are. There will be days certain unprofessional individuals will challenge you and your level of conversational skills. Be firm and report anything you feel is a violation of your civil rights: whether you use grievances or involve law enforcement remember to have valid witnesses (that wont fold under coercion) and file a lawsuit if you have to. (REMEMBER PEOPLE WILL LIE TO SAVE THEIR SELF EVEN UNDER OATH) (BE CAUTIOUS IT DOESNT MATTER IF YOURE A GOOD PERSON WITH THE BEST GRADES IN THE CLASS)Personally, this school is offering certain course work you could take at a Public college. If you value your future invest in going to a University that offers scholarships too. You dont want to be stuck with a Bill ($) of stress from loan repayments or non-completion of the programs offered. (THEY ALSO CHARGE $20 PER OFFICIAL TRANSCRIPT) (ALSO MAKE SURE YOU COMPLETE EACH QUARTER TERM {ATTEND CLASS WHETHER ITS 6,9,12 WEEKS YOURE ENROLLED IN BEFORE YOU DROP THE PROGRAM ENTIRELY}, OR IF YOURE FOR SOME UNKNOWN REASON REMOVED FROM THE PROGRAM)(PELL-GRANTS/ LOANS WILL BE RETURNED AND YOULL OWE BLUE CLIFF A BILL FOR THAT QUARTER-TERM)(Also, dont engage in conversations with instructors that you feel are bigots or find you desirable.) There has been a lot of adultery and prejudice behavior committed at this campus amongst the staff and students too. Like I said keep it classy and graduate without involving yourself in the many trifling distractions you will encounter in class and outside of the class on campus or possibly in public. (DONT EXCHANGE SOCIAL MEDIA OUTLETS OR YOUR CELL NUMBER WITH STAFF OR STUDENTS IF YOU CAN HELP IT!!!)BEST REGARDS,:)

I have been going to BCC OF Fayetteville for a year Im in the midst of my externship! This school and all of it wonderfully talented teachers and staff have worked very hard teaching me everything they know as well as being there for me every step of the way! I have had some personal issues that really put a burden on my time at BCC and no questions asked they were all there ready to do what ever it took to get me out of my mess and finish my program. I will be graduating with honors in 3 weeks and have a job offer already on the table along with three of my other classmates of the HIMBC program! This is a amazing school and I would recommend it to any looking to better there future in a set career! Check it out for yourself the staff will be ready and willing to answer all your questions and needs!

I’ve heard great things about Blue Cliff College from my friends and I was honestly going to give this place a chance since I felt like I was going no where with my education. But after the non stop 20+ calls a day, I gave in and went in to get more information. I felt really uncomfortable being there to where I had a panic attack and they wouldn’t let me make a phone call or come back some other time. Instead they just pressured me into signing papers saying that I would attended the school, etc.After planning a 2nd visit to give them my high school diploma and other things they needed, I received a phone call from who was dealing with my paper work, telling me I wasn’t going to go anywhere making excuses. I was expecting to hear that from my parents and not from a complete stranger. At that point I just hung up and decided not to continue with Blue Cliff College. If their admissions department were going to talk you down before you even start attending, what make you think the teachers or the other faculty are going to be like?Long story short, unprofessional staff that only care about numbers.

They will harass you for months on end if you decide not to take their classes. Don’t give them any of your info until you do your research. I wish I would have. Seriously thought about changing my number, which is ridiculous because I shouldn’t have too, after asking so many times for them to quit calling me!

If you are thinking about attending this institution - let me tell you something - DONT. This was a colossal waste of time and money. Once you graduate they do NOT let me repeat they do NOT help you or attempt to help you try to find job placement. They only care about the retainer fee they get for you attending. For the same money you can go to NWACC of the UofA. Save yourself some time and money and do NOT attend here.

I attended BlueCliff College from April 2010 to April 2011 with the hopes of finding a job. We were told in out very first Orientation we will help you find your first job ! We I must say that as of Today 1/14/14 I still do not have a job ! So now I have school loans I cant pay for because I dont have a job. Had I known that I was not going to get a job in my field of training I would have never even signed a contract with the school ! So as it stands today if someone asked me about recommending a good school I would have to say it would NOT be BlueCliff .

This was the worst school ever. PLEASE, dont waste your money coming here. I paid 9k in student loans and 5k in fasfa for a 9 months medical assisting program and I was told by the lying admissions woman that you get paid almost $18 an hour once you graduate. I barely managed to find a job that would pay me 12.00 an hour even after I got registered and half my classmates cant even find jobs! I realize I should have done my research, but screw me for trusting them. I was already 12 weeks in by the time I realized the school was crap. A majority of the time, there was no schedule, I think the teachers were just winging it. The only two good teachers there were Dr. Ditmore and Mrs. Tessa!. We ALWAYS ran out of supplies! ALWAYS. 14 k for a 9 month program and were running out of supplies? I dont think so. During our first A&P course, they switched teachers on us half way thru! Keep in mind courses were 6 weeks long! We had 3 weeks with one teacher and then had another teacher brought in half way thru, and all she did was skim thru the chapter and then let us make up our own tests! I didnt pay 14k to make up my own test! Nothing was organized or set. Even now theyre planning our graduation and Im hearing from another student that I need to go do this and that so I can graduate! Why is this my classmates responsibility? Why is the school not contacting me themselves when I was told by them that I finished everything 4 months ago! They said they would send out invitations on our behalf, it was part of our tuition. Now theyre telling us we have to come pick them up and send them out ourselves. And then after I graduated on May 15, 2015, I got a notice from the federal loan service agency saying that loans were taking out on my behalf for Blue Cliff College! What? I just graduated! This School goes back on their word more than anyone Ive ever met!!!!! DO NOT TRUST THEM! Anything they say! Dont believe it! PLEASE, if youre going to spend 14k on education, do something that actually pays enough to pay back your loans, like a nursing degree!. Dont end up like me! As a CNA I got paid 10.53! You can literally pay $800 to get a CNA license and probably make as much as a Medical Assistant! I maybe would have paid $3k for this program. They have gotten a new director of education and things are supposed to be changing, school policies, etc, but IN MY OPINION, I still would not pay 14K for a 9 month program that you will only make $12 an hour after. That money could be put to way better use!
