I'm currently a student in the energy systems technology program and I absolutely love CEI. All of the staff are the most friendly and helpful people I've met. The school is far more affordable than other universities and I feel like I'm getting a real practical education that will prepare me for a career in the field.

I took an ESL class. It was an amazing experience. I am very satisfied with the curriculum Meredith did for us. We made us practicing every areas, reading(Even short novel), speaking, listening, writing(focus on grammar). I highly recommended this program to my friends. Now they are gonna be join next one.

I use the grounds about 2 x per week to walk my puppy. They also have the best ice machine in town. My puppy loves eating ice so I am able to get a cup for her there. Peope are friendly overall. There is always a lot of garbage by the automotive building.

CNA.....their cna program is a joke. You pay tuition $1100.00 plus you have to pay for your own materials books and scrubs. Nothing else is included in tuition. Clinicals are a joke because you go to old nursing homes where the nurses don't even want you there and you have to clean the messes they don't want to. During the final in person skill test at the end you get failed because they say your instructor taught you all wrong. So at this point who's fault is it that the instructor taught you wrong? Well too bad all your money and hard work was all for nothing. If you want to re test you have to pay $65 each time. You only get 90 days to retest up to 2 times and then guess what if the person testing you doesn't want to pass you they won't, even if you are doing the skills exactly by the book. Then they run out of teachers who want to do the testing so then you are really screwed if you need to end up retesting. The tester has to be from a different school they won't let you test by your instructor.
CEI's CNA program is such a scam and a joke waste of time waste of money !!!!!!!

Amazing staff, scholarship opportunities I never even thought possible and resource s to help you live your life in and outside of school. These people and this place has changed my life!
They have helped me get my GED and have constantly given me the courage and the ability to be proud of myself...and now I am on my way to getting my 2 year associates degree in science. Seriously, I currently couldn't be happier with all that CEI has had to offer and has done for me.

Nice and clean campus seems to be well organized, the technical department seems very organized with all the tools and the training necessary to be prepared for my job.
The campus was so clean and so organized that I think I will sign my wife up so she can start classes in the fall.
We even showed up before classes were to supposed to start, and the security guard was good about letting us in, it was pretty cold, I hope somebody checked on him cuz he had to walk what seems like miles just to come open the door for us. 😁
Just found out that they are partnering with local highschools to get kids s head start to schooling... Very cool

First off they hire special needs individuals to help out in the lunchroom and bookstore, so if you call one of those locations and the person can't spell very well that is why. I am in the welding and fabrication program. I do not have a class that has over 15 people I have not met an instructor there yet that is unwilling to spend extra time with me outside of class, one teacher even gave me their personal cell number so I could call if I had trouble with an assignment. Like most of the other students that attend I have a family and a full time job, the teachers are very understanding and helpful with this when it comes to deadlines. They also have a very good tutoring center that is free.
EITC is very helpful with helping and working with individuals to succeed, if you attend school here and fail a class you really have no one to blame but yourself.
