Not only is apollo college expensive, but also there are so many students, there is not much opportunity for the teacher (s) to give you one- on -one time. I attended for the veterinary assistant program. They told me it was the only location that offered a veterinary "tech" program in the state of oregon. Unfortunately, in the state of oregon, they no longer accredit apollo credits toward a tech license. You used to be able to work for a clinic for 4-5 years to obtain the tech license, but that is no longer acceptable either. So what does a veterinary assistant actually do? They clean kennels, and do basic housekeeping jobs in the clinic which you do not need to pay 12 grand for or need a college education. If i would have known, or if they would have told me that pcc offered a tech program and you are able to get certified after two years, i surely would have taken that route. Go to pcc, and don't waste your money on apollo college!!!

I went to Apollo for medical asst, limited exray. had a good experience, found a great internship site and was hired the day I finished. I have been working for the same company for 7 years, I am very happy and have the fine instructor and staff of apollo to thank for it. The educational staff and placement personel are very caring and talented,I feel proud to have started my medical career with the help they provided me.
Pros: Hands on trainging,caring staff
Cons: whining students that only came because someone pushed them to
