The Career College of Northern Nevada on Pullman Drive in Sparks closed abruptly this week, after filing for bankruptcy, leaving current students and staff in a bind.
Their website indicates: “If you are a student who was actively enrolled or on an approved leave of absence on this date, or if you withdrew from a training program within 180 days of this date, you may be eligible for a Closed School Discharge.”
Other options are listed there for students seeking help.
A reader who shared this exterior photo with us told us employees in the building were notified it was closing Friday early afternoon, its last day of operations. The reader says they were told to pack up their belongings, as no one would have access after 4 p.m..
Some instructors found out about the closing from their students or other media reports.
We tried to contact the school via phone and email but did not hear back as of yet.
Average cost after aid for first time, full-time undergraduate students was estimated to be nearly $21K.
Its Yelp reviews ranged from a recent five star one, by Drew B. who said his experience for the HVAC morning program was “phenomenal.”
Many other recent reviews were of the one star variety though such as Jaylen J. saying: “This school is a joke. They care more about student drama than actual education. I went to class and all we did the whole time was talking about a text message that was sent out in a group text that I never got. When I told them they needed to talk to those involved and not waste my class time, I was told I was being immature …” or Jorge L. who wrote “teachers don't pay attention to you they hand you papers and then expect you to know what to do you ask a question and they tell you to look it up worst trade school hvac program is trash basically you’re teaching yourself…”
