I went to this school over 10 yrs ago thinking I could refresh my education as a medical biller and coder. It was a waste of time. I was under the impression by them that since it was a 8 month course that after at least 4months I would receive a check. I had bills piling up with hopes of receiving a check within the 4 months. I never received anything and when we had an assembly I asked the questions about my money. They threatened to get rid of me due to people wanting to know the same thing but they said everyone's situation was different and people began to get rowdy because of this. I had went for 6mths and never received a dime so I quit to get a job because I had a son to feed, clothe and shelter. All I ever received was bills for the loans I had taken out..no money at all. Then maybe the next year they went out of business and no one has heard of them since. I feel that I was defrauded and manipulated by their staff because they would recruit new people to just help themselves with the money and was left high and dry. I feel I should have loan forgiveness if I was defrauded and never received a penny of that loan money....seriously..if its possible please let me know so I can remove that debt

I attend API for cosmetology in Macon Georgia and cannot wait to transfer! I live across town and have to work during the week to even be able to afford gas to get there. At first, they said it was okay that they understood I have to support myself somehow. Now, it's that I'm being irresponsible. Also, I recently found out I'm pregnant. Morning sickness is kicking my butt and when I told my teacher I preferred not to take any clients first thing in the morning because of it, she told me I could either suck it up or go home!! She also announced my pregnancy to half the staff WITHOUT MY PERMISSION! She never congratulated me and instead, treated me like I was an inconvienence. You can bet I went home that day. Also decided to transfer. Do not attend this school unless you want to be treated like trash and given a shitty education. I'll be transferring and definitely NEVER returning.

This is the worst allied health school around. The management is poor and the admissions department lets criminals and low lives enter the school. About 50% of the students have no possible way to gain employment in the medical field because they are ignorant. There are dopeheads, and low poverty students. The teachers are not prepared to teach. It is a waste of time and money. Please do not come to this hell hole. It is similiar to a prison. The tuition is outrageous and a scam to get your money. There are no resources and tools to help students succeed.

I started API Gainesville campus in December of this year( 2012) and in the first month 3 instructors walked. To gain some sort of stability I changed to day classes and that was a mistake. It took them 3 weeks after classes started and after our first final to get our books!!! They make a HUGE issue about attendance to the point you better be dead not to attend they do not realize in the real world people get sick or have issues that can't be helped come up. They tell you when you enroll classes are Mon- Thur so you rearrange your work schedule to work Fri - Sat - Sun then they take every " Holiday" off and make you make it up on Fridays knowing half the student body has to work. Instead of saying we understand that you have to work to support your family it's we're going to make it mandatory you attend or you lose 10pts. on your homework. It's not right that they penalize the ones who have to work!!! The thing that pisses me off the most is I am paying 14, 000 dollars for an education and not getting what I need to accomplish that!!! They hit an all time low when myself and a hand full of others chose to study for finals instead of watch a movie and eat pizza we told we were being disrespectful, EXCUSE ME... First of all you don't come in yelling at students without asking them why then when you try to explain you cut off and I find it disrespectful to me and my instructors that I don't have books to work out of and because of that I'm so far behind I'm going to have to retake this module due to their lack of priorities. They need to take the Professional out of their title because their anything but. New name should be American Screw You out of your money Institute. There is only one instructor I have any kind of respect for and he is wonderful. He does all he can to help us learn. I wish all the instructors were like him. I'll just call him Dr. G. all the other instructors say they care about us but they could care less. The students that stayed and studied got zeros for studying and not watching a movie that had nothing to do with medicine or what we we're studying, we could have left campus like several did but we didn't and it's not fair we got zeros for doing what we're paying them to do educate us. I would NEVER recommend this school to anyone and in my opinion they should be shut down!!!
