Top 10 Questions
To ask before enrolling at a school

1. Do you have any graduates placed at top facilities in the area and do you have job placement assistance? Never take their word for it check it out, ask for references! (Keep in mind that student's private information is never given out but, you can ask to speak to owners who hire graduates!)

2. Who is the instructor? Are they active in the industry? What are their credentials? What is their educational level - do they have University Degrees? How long have they been teaching and at what levels? Are they involved with the industry? Are they active in setting standards?

3. Is the curriculum true to the Industry? Does it reflect what is needed to succeed in the current market place? Does it meet the NEW VA law? All schools in VA can & should be following the published regulations NOW so that graduates qualify for 2007 licensure!
