Program Reviews
This learning experience with U.S. Career Institute has been great so far. The enrollment process was quick and simple. My instructor answers back in a timely manner and is very professional. Professionalism is important to me. All the help I have received so far has been great! I am currently in the bookkeeping certification program the curriculum is to the point and easy to understand. I feel like this will be a success for me. I am taking this course to strengthen my knowledge in the field. So far all has been the best experience for distance learning.
C.T. Bookkeeping Student
The courses are broken down into very manageable sections. That allows me to devote a little or a lot of time each day. My instructor for the first course is Kim. She has been very responsive to my questions. The course focuses just on bookkeeping, unlike some other programs that waste time and money on topics unrelated to bookkeeping. I'm very satisfied so far!
Vince Bookkeeping Student
This is a wonderful online school, very convenient and pretty reasonably priced to take a course! Each lesson is greatly explained with pre-tests in-between lessons. I am a single mother so this makes it easy to work online during my downtime.
