Great Lakes Institute of Technology

I frequently hear that the Massage manager/teacher is racist. More than once I've heard it. Perhaps you can follow up with students (past and present)? I hear that she is unprofessional, and abrupt with them in class. I've heard that her actions give the students impression that she doesn't like them - Specifically students from other countries. A student I know ran into a former employee from the school. He agreed this was the case.

Excellent student! My lower back pain is gone, and he was able to work out some serious knots on my back and shoulder areas.

The students are amazing and well trained. We have been getting massages for over 20 years from student clinics and these students are superior!! Id go every week if I could get an appointment! They are booked way in advance!!

For $15,000.00 I was unable to get a degree OR certification thru the state. After my mistake/Great Lakes I found a REAL program/school where you can get certified by the state and it is only around $3,000.00 for the ENTIRE PROGRAM! Please look before you leap. I wish I wouldve looked before I wasted my time at Great Lakes. Virtually NONE of their equipment worked (including the x-ray machine they show pictures of on the website.). A total scam is all they are. The director of the vet assistant program is an atheist who is beyond biased and acts accordingly. She always does what she wants regardless of whats best for the student for the class as a whole. The administration is kind, but does not call you back on anything. They actually went so far as to remove the reviews directly from their website, because they had so many negative, detrimental yet honest reviews (and they didn't respond to them anyway). If it doesnt fit their convenience, it just gets overlooked and ignored just like I did. I wasn't nontraditional student from the start who hadn't been in school in 15 years. I also lost my best friend from a seizure 4 days before classes started. I started this program at a deficit, but I struggled to maintain and continue my education. It wasn't until right before graduation that suddenly I was asked to leave with no explanation. That's ridiculous to let somebody go all the way through an entire program and then drop them days before graduation. Now I owe 15 grand and having no certification. That was a really dumb idea. I didn't realize they would be so simple and biased and risked someone's education over a personal vendetta. It seems really immature and childish. Look before you leap! Please dont waste your time at a pretend school like I did, don't spend five times as much money on a program that can't even certify you with the state? You should look into it and go to a REAL school where you can be certified by the REAL state as a REAL vet assistant. :) There they will actually care about your training and act accordingly. Please dont do as I did and waste your time at Great Lakes institute of technology. That place was a joke with a special emphasis on the veterinary assistant program. We took one field trip all year to the zoo for a 30 minute presentation, that was it! On some clinic days I was allowed to do nothing except watch. The classes weren't that big. There's no excuse for that other than ignorance and immaturity. Great Lakes is so poorly run you would be lucky to be trained semi- properly (especially with their lack of functioning equipment, knowledge, materials, etc.) or to complete the entire program. It wasn't all that rigorous or difficult of a program, but remember it's NOT a REAL school, so you can't REALLY get certified by the state. My class had well over 40 students in it and I was by far the oldest one. when it was all said and done MAYBE 5-6 people completed it. Great Lakes Institute of Technology is a total scam. Please stear clear of GLIT, go to a REAL school that can REALLY get you certified with the state (and costs around $3,000.00, not $15,000.00 like Great Lakes charged me. Please dont blow your money like I did. Look before you leap. This school is a scam!
