Received tremendous support from my fellow instructors, administrators, and classmates. I would definitely recommend IOT VN program to oncoming students. I too was nervous where to begin but IOT helped me out from day 1 to day of pinning. Now I’m a licensed vocational nurse, thank you IOT.

I highly recommend this institution! I am a recent graduate of their LVN program. I've taken the NCLEX and passed the first time. IOT prepared me well for the test and I am now licensed. The support I received from the administration and staff was truly amazing.

Instructors and administration always opened their door to me when I had questions or concerns. I never felt like I couldn't ask a "silly question". AND believe me I had MANY while navigating this exciting time. The instructors became more than mentors and I enjoyed their stories and encouragement.

As I am searching for my job I am still supported by this school. My resume was created by them and I am checked up on. It's been a month since pinning and I've been back on campus to check in and I will continue to stop by. IOT became a second home to me and these people are now friends.

As a new LVN, I feel prepared to continue with my learning career and owe it to IOT and their staff! THANK YOU is not enough! NOW they need to get their bridge program up and I WILL be back for more.

IF you're considering becoming a nurse, DO IT!!! AND don't let age hold you back. I'm a little older than most, but age is just a number. I LOVE learning and IOT delivered! GO FOR IT!!!!

P.S. The taco truck at 10 am in the parking lot is good too. Just saying.

I cannot believe they try to claim their barbering program is that hands on. I took a tour of IOT Clovis, and while you can get financial aid via Pell grant at this school, it is a 12 month program and they only allow you to go on campus 2 days a week at most for this barber program. When I went to the classroom, it appears the process which you learn is very traditional, like mostly online classwork (reminds me of high school/college testing) and you're required to either complete this much or if not then they may drop you from the class, and didn't look like you would get much help at all. The demos also seem lackluster, I have only seen manequins in the demos and while it is typically the way you're taught to blend, I would say it doesn't accurately represent giving an actual client a fade or taper etc; or other haircuts that bald out to skin, since manequins won't even bald to skin. If I heard correctly, they also require you to get your barber license before you can even consider cutting a person's hair. If anything, their barber program seems a lot more sedentary, overall.

I attended IOT Clovis for their VN program. I truly believe that you get what you put into it. Coming with limited medical background, I did not know what to expect. I can say that the staff for the VN program is wonderful! No program anywhere is perfect, there were hiccups along the way but the staffs were always figuring out how to answer questions and give you the best they can. I had a wonderful experience here and I am glad I picked to come here. The DON, site coordinator, teachers, instructors, are so helpful and encouraging. Again, you get what you give and i came in with an open mind and willingness to learn. I took my NCLEX PN and passed it on my first attempt. They really try their best to prepare you for success here.

Amazing experience, a lot of hands on training. Instructors took their time to explain the processes. I always felt I could ask for more help. Especially Grateful to Chef Edith, Chef Kevin, Chef Anabel and Chef Jim. Overall Great and Challenging opportunity.

I had a blast here, After covid had forced me to retire from my previous style of work. I place myself in the Culinary Arts program for Patisserie and Baking.... It was a first for me since I haven't been A student of anything since high school And it was in the total opposite direction of my line of work that i'm used to. I met Chef Edith After watching the class before me outside of a window.... I didn't want to feel like a creeper. So I came in and Introduce myself🤣 She's awesome and Made the class fun. After getting out of modular, 101 taught by Chef, Kevin Is who is total riot. That's finally able to join Chef Edith's class. As I Successfully progressed through the modulars.I was introduced to Chef Hannah. I love the pro tips That she always gives and also.
Push the class along the way. The most Difficult skill that I had to learn fron both chefs is time management during production. This was the hardest thing to master. Being able to multi-task, watch the clock and bake your buns off all at the same time is a unique skill.
And it is now embedded in me. I was successful in passing the class and graduating. I want to thank everyone who I met along the way and anyone that had their hand in my success while attending your curriculum. Thank you very much🙏🏾💯

Horrible experience for the IMAT CLASS. From the class materials and resources to the books to the No tech to the wild accusations by the Dean and by the teacher of smelling like weed.they basically just profiled me based on how I look and Based on the fact that I was the last to walk into class Even tho I am an active cdl holder and active drug screening by the Department of Transportation and currently in Amazon trucking and have proof of my latest drug screen Extremely upset and extremely angry at the faculty for their ignorance to the potential of this program and I feel bad for us students that thought this had more to offer more. I could’ve been on an sae certified course at reedly college( a community college )and is way better and in depth than this disappointing (private college )code name for they just take all the money and run.If I could rate 0 stars. This school is a big joke to the teachers the dean the curriculum everything should be scrapped and redone.it’s a waste of gas showing up over there.I need the owner to get into contact with me ASAP AND I NEED A MEETING WITH YOU SIR AND THE DEAN .You got a big problem in your school.

My Second week there had a instructor a criminal law teacher first started yelling at me in the parking lot. Then he proceeds to get off the sidewalk gets into my personal space ,trying to turn a verbal argument into a fist fight. When I refused to be baited, he then says he's going to get me kicked out of school. ( all I said to him was (" your a hazard on the road going so slow ") this is reason enough to physically fight someone and threatening to get student kicked out of school. I filed a formal complaint. If this isn't how you like to be treated don't come here.
