The Refrigeration School, Inc.

1. School is ok. The more you apply yourself the more you learn. Some professors are great. Some classes are put together very sloppy and guided learning is minimal. Is it worth the money? No 2. My experience has been they are very attentive and helpful to get you enrolled. Once enrolled, especially once you graduate the student services department are not helpful. 3. Getting ahold of student finance or student services in my experience has been next to impossible. Voicemails, no replies etc. Overall would not recommend. Unfortunately I am still dealing with the school even after graduation because of their lack of communication. Undoubtedly someone from the school will reply to this message with a generic "pleade reach out". I have little confidence that anyone from them school genuinely wants to help.

I normally don’t leave reviews, but my experience with this school has been extremely frustrating and disappointing. The communication here is terrible and has caused me so much unnecessary stress. I went through the entire appeal process and was told multiple times that I would be able to restart classes by December 1st. When I showed up to re-entry orientation, I was asked to leave with no explanation. One staff member even told me I “should be thankful” because he processed my appeal—highly unprofessional. Throughout this whole process, I’ve been given conflicting information. I was told my previous medical leave wouldn’t count against me, but later found out those situations were used as “strikes” without anyone ever telling me. I was also told I would receive support due to my medical situation, which never happened. Even in the appeal process, I was told to write an essay explaining everything I went through—then told by someone else that it wasn’t required. After winning the appeal and signing probation paperwork, I was told to show up on a specific date, only to be told I can’t start until January 12th. I have stayed current on all my payments and done everything asked of me, yet the school’s lack of organization and communication has made this process extremely stressful and discouraging. If you’re considering this school, please be aware: the communication is inconsistent, the staff often give conflicting instructions, and the overall professionalism is lacking. I hope they make serious improvements, because students deserve better than this.

I recently graduated from here, A great set of tools are provided upon the first week of class. I had a lot of fun with the labs provided! I've been told they're reducing in-person class time to two days a week I don't know how they expect students to get sufficient hands on training, most instructors were great and some were just okay. Therefore I rate it 4/5. Could be improved upon.
