UEI College Reviews of Certificates in Dental Assistant

"I am currently attending UEI College for a Dental Assisting Program. I do agree it is expensive, and I wish I would have been told there was a grace period to drop out; not because I don't like it there, but I may have chosen a different program. One of the reasons I chose this school over others is because I was told it was 8 months long... I started in December and will not be finished until SEPTEMBER (10 months), THEN I will have to do extern (170 hours). I had the idea that the 7 modules were each one month, then the 8th module (extern) was about 1 month (depending on how you utilize my time) As someone else has mentioned, they often run out of supplies and equipment is broken. I've recently finished my x-ray module and was unable to practice with digital x-rays because the machine has been broken the ENTIRE TIME! Digital x-rays are what are mainly used in the dental office. All whining aside, I've learned a lot here so far. And I enjoy both lecture and lab. I have a 4.0 and plan to hand in my student ambassador letter soon. I will write more once I have finished here."

"UEI College San Marcos, CA is an amazing school. To start off the staff, the first people I met were the admissions group which were amazing, they are such nice people who are very welcoming especially A. S> who is leader of the admissions team. Then the next people i met were the front desk people , Which also has a welcoming feel to it, this is school is a team everyone works together to help one another in everyway possible. The team has helped me in more ways than just one, it helped me mature, prioritize, and get ready to start my life on the right foot. they work with you to help fit YOUR needs and do what they can to help. The school is very clean and always smells fresh thanks to our maintenance man, he keeps the place sparkling clean at all times the school is in tip top shape. Another great thing is that if a student doesnt like something, or is uncomfortable our campus president is always here to lend an ear, its always said that this is OUR school, and they are here for us whenever its needed. I would most definitely recommend this school to anyone who asked."

"UEI college is probably the worst, if not the worst school ever! UEI college in Fresno has people working there who talk to their students like a piece of trash, rather than helping them. I would suggest if you are considering to attend a school like this think about it good before you regret wasting your money & time. I regret going there and I really try to prevent anybody experiencing what I did. UEI is a waist of time and half or even more of the people I had in my class don't have a job. Not because they didn't do we'll at school, or because there isn't none around them, but because the school SUCKS! And the people working there have no experience what so ever."

"I attended the San Diego campus and graduated as a dental assistant in summer 2010. I started in one of the morning classes and although the instructor was a really sweet lady she just couldnt handle the class. We had alot of 18-20yr olds and it wasnt really a mature enviorment. I later transfered to the night classes and the instructor there straight out did not care. Its a place where the instructors are more concerned with getting along with the student and getting a paycheck rather than actually teaching! The externship process was horrible! They took 3 weeks trying to place me in an office and finally I found my own place by calling around different offices. I got hired at my extern site once I had finished my hours and OMG was I in for a ride. Turns out they didnt actually teach us anything at all.. I was constantly lost and ended up learning everything from my co workers. Definately not worth the money Im still paying for school. If there is one piece of advice I can give you is DO NOT attend this so called school. Look for a different way to better yourself.. maybe thru community college or something else because this is just a waste of your time and money!"
