GateWay Community College-Central City

Doing the Auto body collision (ABO) program & So far I love it . I have learned so much from welding to repairing damaged hoods fenders then finishing them up by painting them . December 9nth 2021 we started our project's which I'm really happy to see how it turns out . Instructor Brent is very helpful and loves to teach the students , One of the best mentors on campus. So far my experience has been grate

I have tried for over 6 months to reach admissions, advising, front desk, anyone. There is no way to contact a human unless you go in person or are already enrolled. I would not trust this school or attend. Very unprofessional. Not sure how they are still open??

Im annoyed that my in-person appointment with an adviser got canceled. I had to take time off from work because the only appointment available was on days that I worked, and it was canceled last min. It feel like they don't consider my time as valuable.

If I could give 0 stars I would. If anyone sees this that is interested in this school please don't write it off as just another unsatisfied student. The people who run these programs and the ones that have control over what kind of education u get do not care about the students at all i have stuck it out with instructors that are incompetent and can not physically show you how to do the welding procedures even after everyone in the school has told me to quit. I successfully completed all of my weld tests thanks to YouTube. But still 3 months after completing the program many students certs have not been turned in do to lack of care for the students. Not even the vp cares enough to help. So if you care about your success i know mesa has a great program and will be worth your money. Gateway will not provide you with the teaching tools, equipment, or materials to succeed. But you can do it if you like learning from you tube good luck. I hope I'm helping someone out cause I wouldn't want anyone to go threw what I did.

Attended the Manual and CNC Machinist course in 2016. The course at the time was starting to become more organised although we had to go thru the at your own pace online training that was out of order and not all applicable to the hands on training to come. The instructors were hit and miss at times. Time with the machines was good. My main issue is with the VA office at the main campus who after an audit were found to have been doing a multitude of things wrong. I began to receive debt letters in 2018 while attending another college leading to confusion on many levels. The take away here would be to be very careful and make sure to speak to alumni from your specific program of choice before choosing to put your time, effort, and money in to a school that may not be right for you.

During the CNC Machining program, I was able to adapt and learn from the instructors who are willing to take the time and teach not only the class but each student as an individual. I feel safe and confident operating a manual mil on my own without any supervision. I hope more people will actually take the time to stop by and check out the CNC program the offer at the central city campus.

I enrolled for a computer support certification from here. Some of the instructors were effective at teaching, but most of the time you are sitting in front of a computer screen or book. The managerial aspect of the school seemed unorganized half the time for when I did have questions about start dates, testing and pre-orientation. In class it was sometimes very hard for me to focus about the actual certification material, as some learning rooms were constantly full of chatter, noise and socialization. I felt I wasn't getting effective learning time for which I was paying. I felt the time required to achieve a certification from this school was excessive, and the weekly mid-day schedule: inconvenient. I was also disappointed that there is no extra incentive to graduate with honors as a top student in class. I later learned that I could save $2,000 and 3 months of time by purchasing the certification vouchers myself.
