Best Trade Schools In Saint Louis Near Me

Carl Petee: As a graduate of America Trade School, I highly recommend it, especially if you are interested in the HVAC industry. I was already gainfully employed in the field prior to completing the course, and after years in the field, I have returned to be an instructor. Graduates who take their education seriously will be quickly hired by an HVAC company. Many STL companies are on the board of directors and are eager to hire students while still on school.

Adrian Jones: Great school. Patient teachers.

Nate Dickens: I graduated and I have to admit it was the best decision of my life to go to American trade school. Carl and DJ the instructors are really good guys and they are not only talented in the field but they care about the education that they are providing. I would recommend this school to anyone even thinking about the HVAC industry.

James Brown: Stephanie and Turner are the best/made everything so easy thanks a trillion

Libby Brown: We've used students of ATS for several needs around our small business - they've always been knowledgeable, professional and thorough. The instructors always followup to make sure the job was done to the best of their ability & they will continue to be our first choice for any HVAC & electrical needs we may have

Nick Gonzalez: I was at Vatterott in their electrical program when it closed. I had to start over and decided to go to American Trade School. I wish I had started there to begin with. Great instructors who were very well organized and knowledgable about the trade. I would recommend American Trade School to anyone looking to begin a career in the Electrical trade.

Scott Bailey: John and his staff are second to none.

Alex Andrews: American Trade School is an amazing establishment. I am currently enrolled and have had nothing but fulfilling education. The electrical program has wonderful instructors who are truly interested in there pursuit to help the students develop the skills needed for the work force. Overall I highly recommend the school to anyone seeking a trade.

Jeremy Haney: Attending and graduating American Trade School was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made, changed my life! I finally have a fulfilling career because of it. I actually enjoy getting up and going to work everyday! The instructors (JD, Chris, Carl, and DJ) do a phenomenal job in teaching their curriculum and experience....It’s a great school and personally wouldn’t recommend anywhere else!

Donta Hartman: Attending ATS was one of the smartest decision I have ever made. The instructors are helpful, wise, and always willing to help with anything we need. Everyone truly cares about your success and the classes were very hands on which helped retain the information. I learned many things such as being professional, business knowledge, and tools that I need to be the best HVAC tech that I can be. Additionally, they try to make sure you have a job best fit for you by the time you graduate, if not before. As a former ATS student I would say the staff such as teachers including the people in the office and financial aid were great. I am a proud graduate and feel confident that I will succeed with service and installs professionally in my career.

Darron Ollison: Great school I completed the HVAC program 60 weeks that changed my life would recommend to anyone looking for a trade great teachers that know there stuff

Brendan Bevolo: American Trade School was the best decision I’ve ever made. All the instructors are super knowledgeable about what they are teaching and want to see you exceed in this career. I’ve learned a lot from this school and would recommend it to anybody.

Carlo Reinoso: Great school. Greater people.

J. P. B.: So the training is fine. The introduction to AC class has some pretty useful information; however there are no instructors currently training students with their journeyman's license. So the diploma that they give you is pretty much worthless. You still have to either work under a journeyman for 4 and half years before your eligible to sit for the State test in Missouri. None of the time you spend in school goes towards the state journeyman's hours needed to qualify. You can legitimately get your EPA certification by going to an HVAC parts warehouse and testing for it there. Total cost for the school is around $23000...the cost to take the test is around $75 plus study materials. You can actually get an HVAC certification at Florissant Valley Community College for around $650. Make no mistake this school is a for profit enterprise..they only average around an 80% rate of placement for graduates. I feel like during the whole process that the administration is not telling you the truth of how the HVAC licensing process works from St. Louis City to the County where they require an HVAC Mechanical license to work almost anywhere in the County. You could watch trouble shooting videos on youtube, study and get your EPA certification, and start working at an HVAC company to start your hours towards your journeyman's status without having to acrue so much debt.

Erik Prough: I completed both the electrical and the HVAC program. If you want your moneys worth I would enroll in the hvac program if I were you. I cant say much about the other program haha. The teachers in hvac actually care about you, they want to see you go far in life/ your career

Rudy Villalba: ATS has great programs with awesome instructors, but the best part is the job board they have. They regularly post listings for jobs in IT, HVAC/R and Electrical. They really care about seeing their students succeed.

Elvir Alagic: Great school, you’re taught everything you need to know from learning codes, to working hands on which is set up perfectly. The staff and teachers and really nice and helpful. Teachers are able to provide examples from past experience and is awesome to get some insight

kenneth mcpherson: Mike Jd Chris are the TRUTH!!! These guys know hvac sit back listen and follow and you will be 👌 I went thru it.

Ed Taylor: Centriq Training is an awesome program, I highly recommend this program. A++++++++++

j ejh: Centriq Training is a great place to learn new IT skills! I've been a student there many times, and always felt like they had great customer service and the instructors are very knowledgeable.

Stephen Douglas: Premier Knowledge thoroughly follows the official coursework format very well. I enjoyed the experience and learned a lot.

Iame Dey: My experience at (PKS) was one to remember. They offered free doughnut's, coffee, water and also had a convenient balcony with table and chairs that accompanied the second floor to say the least. The most memorable thing was how well Mr. Peter Hand knew his stuff. He explained everything in detail before you could ask as if he knew what you were going to ask. It was a great 3 day course and I can't wait to attend my next course.I class I took was Comptia Strata: Intro to IT Fundamentals

Bri'Anna Tolliver: I was ready to give up on pursuing a job in tech when my new landlord told me about Savvy Coders and helped me get connected. I had already done another bootcamp, been rejected from multiple jobs and still didn't feel confident in my skills. Before the first class of Savvy Coders ever started, I was challenged to learn web development basics. And when it started I was challenged to manage my time, think critically, meet deadlines and push myself to do a project that I never thought I could do. The teachers and TA's were amazing, encouraging and helpful. Savvy also provided me with my first ever job mentor- Laurie Wilson- who helped me in every step of the job process. With all the help I had, I overcame every obstacle I faced and graduated with the confidence to get a job. I got my first tech job offer-EVER- today at a company that I didn't know was my dream company and I couldn't be more excited. Thank you to all the people who make Savvy Coders awesome! I also must mention the classmates I met and the amazing connections I made through mock interviews that are the reasons for the job I was offered today. Words can't explain how much I have grown as a person and a professional over these past few months. It was a 3 month sacrifice and I know my life is changed forever.

Gregory Judice: Savvy coders was extremely helpful in me finding employment after my bootcamp! I applied to numerous positions, but Laurie helped me get connected to a company willing to hire someone changing careers.

Leaman Brown: I knew nothing about technology before this bootcamp. I learned so much about web development and we had some many teachers willing to help every step of the way.

Gerald Lofton: The 12 Week Full Stack Development bootcamp through Savvy Coders was the best decision I've made. It was very intense at time with all the information you take in, it really test's your mindset and make you in the end a job ready developer. All the Teachers and Teacher Assistant's, were fantastic and really care and make sure you have an understanding of what is being taught in the fast paced challenging 12 weeks. It flew by so fast and can't believe in 12 weeks, I went from dreaming about my future of getting a job in the technology field to actually it starting to become a reality of having interviews with big companies that once seemed unattainable with the help of staff making sure you are the most prepared you can be. Once you graduate, you still will have the support of the Savvy Coders staff and fellow alumni that will encourage and help you along the way! Learned so much in these 12 weeks and it was the best decision I have made and it wouldn't have been possible without all the great staff and students that are at Savvy Coders! Wouldn't have it any other way. I'm proud to be a Savvy Coder graduate!

S Will: Instructors at Savvy Coders are devoted to your success.They will ensure that you are familiar with the material if you put in the effort.If you are willing to put in the effort, the course is totally worth it. All while learning and becoming familiar with building a computer, different coding language, virtual private networks, and network traffic. There is also a team devoted to helping you improve your soft skills for resume writing, interviews, and presentations. Everyone at Savvy Coders want you to be successful. Anyone that joins this program definitelyhas the potential to land a IT position.At times, my journey at Savvy Coders became difficult. Discipline and a positive attitude are essential for success. You get what you put in. I completed the 24-week Cybersecurity and Operations program was and gratefully have already been offered my first entry-level IT position!😊

Nate Hessler: I went to a 4 year university and majored in business but had no real passion after graduating. I’ve always had interest in tech which lead me to do research on software development, which ultimately lead me to Savvy Coders. It was the best career decision I’ve ever made. I landed a job in tech about halfway through my cohort. The curriculum and staff are amazing and it will instantly make you employable with good pay. It is a massive time and energy commitment, but it is worth it. Be willing to put in the work and take time outside of class to learn and practice the material. I can’t recommend Savvy Coders enough.

James McMinn: I am a recent graduate of the Full Stack Web Development boot camp. I have nothing but positive things to say! From the teacher aids, the teachers, and all of the administrative staff, everyone has it together. The boot camp was not easy, but I learned more than I ever thought possible in that amount of time. I highly recommend!

Pigeon Hawkins: My journey with SavvyCoders was full of fun, getting to know my cohort classmates and tons of learning. My particular course was for Data Analytics and Python, and I suggest that anyone trying to pivot their career in a different direction takes a look into all the different courses that Savvy offers. I had two instructors and a TA during my cohort, and found that having multiple avenues to ask questions and soundboard were invaluable resources during my coursework.This was a great program and the time spent was well worth the rewards.

Kelby E-N.: I am a recent graduate and I really enjoyed the program. The teachers assistants and instructors were very helpful and encouraging. The curriculum is set up to assist you with having the best capstone. The mindframe is to help each other succeed. I still keep in touch with my classmates!It is 3 hours everyday but I believe it was worth it. If you are dedicated to learning, have a passion for growing and like to problem solve, this experience is for you.

Buck Randall: Savvy Coders was a great experience. The full stack bootcamp teaches you everything you need to know to be ready to start a career as a web developer.

Chauncey C.: Positive:Communication,Professionalism,Quality,ValueVery good boot camp, definitely helpful from educating to job finding

Kelly-Monique: Critical:Professionalism,Quality,Value

Trishten Gregory: Positive:Professionalism,ValueI was able to hone my skills at the Savvy Coders Bootcamp. It was a great experience to learn code and communicate with such well-educated professionals

shakelia bolden: I loved every bit of my journey with Savvy coders. From the personal touch with Dez, to me scrambling and reaching out to teacher assistants after I accidentally deleted my project to Laurie giving her personal touch to our resumes and still keeping in touch after graduation. Not one question I had was left unanswered. If you’re looking for smaller class sizes and a bunch of great ppl that want nothing more than to see you succeed then this is the program for you!!💜

Sally Hoffmann: Positive:Communication,Professionalism,Quality,ValueI really enjoyed my time with SavvyCoders it was super smooth process. One week after graduation I had a job offer at a large software company’s. Definitely worth all the time and effort!

Gary Lewman: I knew nothing about coding prior to taking the Savvy Coders full stack bootcamp. So many times I felt nervous that this was going to be too difficult for me and maybe I should reconsider. The staff encouraged me to stick with it and assured me I could do it! They were 100% correct. I recently graduated and have already been interviewing for a new career! The staff is so helpful and patient. The opportunities Savvy Coders have given me are amazing and worth every cent! I would recommend it to anyone, and already have!

Cody Nix: Maybe a little too fast for my liking, but ultimately SavvyCoders provided me with a solid foundational understanding of web development that I can continue building my coding knowledge off of. I certainly know more about html/css/js now than I did prior to my time with savvy.

Sridevi Kalagara: Deciding to attend Savvy Coders' full stack web development was one of the best decisions I have ever made.The 2-week pre-work they ask us to complete was an excellent preparation for the 12-week intense and immersive online boot camp that paves the way for understanding the concepts throughout the course. This is a full stack web development where we are introduced to more than required content of what is needed to become a Junior Full Stack Developer. Agile certification is a part of the curriculum. The course involves pre-structured curriculum, homework assignments, and capstone project in addition to mock interviews, demo day to showcase our project, and white boarding sessions. Capstone work enabled me to explore various topics taught in the class and is the best way to practice our skills. All the instructors and TAs are so helpful. Job Assistance provided by Savvy Coders is the best and the encouragement provided to each and every student by the whole Savvy Coders team is exceptional.

Anthony Tuzzo: This course is a great introduction to the developer world. In 12 weeks we were introduced to HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. In addition we were taught how to navigate through GitHub, and Git Bash. Node.js, Heroku, Netlify, MongoDB and Firebase are all used to help bring together a capstone project that is then used to help get you hired in the dev world. The material isn't all you learn. You are also introduced to many people in the dev world through meetup groups, and through mock interview days. Several days are dedicated to showing yourself off to prospective employers who give real world feedback on your capstone project and on how you interview. This is NOT an easy course, but 12 weeks of coding information delivered to you in (currently) an online format. The staff work with you and provide you with everything that you need to successfully complete the course. You will get out of this everything that you put into it. If you want a challenge, and are interested in a career in dev, give Savvy Coders a try.

Johan Bester: Savvy Coders, a Smart career choice and Great life decision!Elaine and Dezerae from Savvy Coders believed in me and helped me get into the program. That already impressed me.My name is Johan and I just recently graduated from the Savvy Coders Full-stack web developers bootcamp.I lost my job last year, but when I started looking around for a new position, I realized that my skill set does not match what the market is looking for. I learned a lot through self-studying, but needed more structure and guidance to get where I wanted to be. Savvy Coders offers this and more!The Savvy curriculum is up to date and ever evolving to teach the latest technologies. The staff is knowledgeable and very helpful in teaching coding and career skills. The emphasis is on helping students become well rounded developers that know how to problem solve and find the answers to difficult issues. While the course material is extensive students are constantly reminded that there is always way more to learn, that they should keep digging deeper, and never stop learning new technologies and tools.Bootcamp is not a walk in the park. Student should come well prepared and ready to work very hard. Daily commitment and perseverance are essential for succeed. At a minimum student need to know how to use a computer, have a solid understanding of computing in general, and have a good command of their OS. Preparing in advance on subjects like HTML, CSS and basic JavaScript is strongly advised.The commitment of the Savvy Coder staff does not end in the class room. They are dedicated to coach and prepare students to enter the job market. Through sessions on resume writing, project planning and presentation, students are prepped to present their capstone projects to potential employers on Demo Day. And while every cohort is closed out with a career planning session on job hunting, the advice and council of the Savvy staff will always be available to alumni. I absolutely love that! Once you join Savvy Coders, you are part of the community for life if you choose!Personally, joining Savvy Coders was a smart career choice and great life decision! I can highly recommend the Savvy Coders web developers bootcamp to anybody who wants to improve themselves and learn new coding skills.

Darren Caban: I’ve been going through some footage for my mentor from a show MIHP produces. I’ve been learning a lot and getting a lot better at using hot keys.

Zeller Terresa: My mentor gave me some video to edit from the music video shoot that we just worked on. It was really cool getting to collaborate and at the end he seemed really pleased with my work.

Scottie Lambert: Some teachers are meh others are great. Mechanical program is bonkers ancient but EE, biomed are good stuff

Emmanuel Attah Zebedee: Great place to learn engineering precepts. Friendly faculties and certainly great a home for intentional students.

Zachary Messaglia: Great faculty and beautiful building. They treat their engineers well.

Janis Smith: Critical:Communication,ProfessionalismThey owe me 1400.they lie and steal your moneyWorst school ever

Molly Wallace: Absolutely loved this program! I gained alot of knowledge and had fun doing so. I also had a great team of classmates. Kelly and the instructors are amazing. Thank you for the great experience!

Neverland Grounds: Critical:Communication,Professionalism

Amanda Esteves: Positive:Communication,Professionalism,Quality,Value

Zach Zappa: I enrolled in one of the 4-week courses and have nothing but praise for this program. Our instructors were all extremely knowledgeable about everything EMS and prepared myself and my classmates extremely well for our national exams. The class was challenging, but completely fair and set me up for success as I continued onward. I was nervous about how quickly the 4-weeks would go by at first, but the schedule was set up in a way to give us ample time to both learn the material and get plenty of practice on the skills and assessments we needed to learn. Unfortunately, I had to wait a few weeks before being able to take my first national exam after completing the course, however Kelly and our instructors went above and beyond by allowing us to come in and continue practicing during the time in-between the course and testing, to ensure we all succeeded. This is an amazing program with amazing people that I would recommend to anyone interested in EMS!

Jemal “Mal” Barnes: Great experience

Hadeal Al-hamdani: Positive:Communication,Professionalism,Quality,ValueI recently graduated from Rapid EMT and loved it! All the instructors cared about each student as a person and future EMT. The classes are tailored by paramedics to train competent and knowledgeable EMTs. Very highly recommend.

Bethany Matallana: I attended the four week course and ABSOLUTELY loved it! I wished it was longer only because it was such an engaging experience, learning from such a passionate and dedicated group of firefighters and/or paramedics from various municipalities. Every single one of them, including Kelly (Academy Owner) was there to help in any way they could. I often stayed after class each day to spend some extra time asking questions or gaining insight into different aspects of being in EMS and the instructors were always happy to stay and offer their support and guidance. The instructors were not only extremely knowledgeable but also very passionate about what they do and it carried over into their ability to efrectively teach their students. Further, they did not just want us to make it through the program and pass our NREMT exams, but genuinely spent every minute trying to mold us into quality EMTs, ready for a new and successful career. Unfortunately, my class was unable to complete clinical hours due to covid (Kelly tried really hard to make it happen for us), but the clinical sites would not approve EMT students (from any school). To make up for the lost clinical hours, Kelly and the instructors created an extra day for us to experience mock EMS scenarios. These guys came in on their day off, some fresh off of a 48 hour shift, to make sure we were not cut short and did everything they could to ensure we left the program feeling confident. That is dedication! I cannot say enough good things about this program. Thank you Kelly and all of the instructors so very much!(BTW: Myself and all students who signed up for the exam... passed their practical skills test for the national registry the day after the course ended. In 26 days they turned us into EMTS!).

cheyenne youngblood: Positive:Communication,Professionalism,Quality,ValueThis program exceeded my expectations. When I needed extra help the instructors were there for me to help me out. Tim and Keith were great! Thank you Rapid! I will definitely recommend this class to anyone wanting to get into the EMS field!!

T Reinig: Fantastic program! I highly recommended this course for anyone looking to get into the medical field.

Michael Desouto: Couldn’t have asked for a better experience from an emt program. All the instructors were great and super knowledgeable and the overall structure of the class was well put together. Definitely recommend to anyone pursuing a career in the ems field!

Graham Koosmann: The best program. They teach you the best way to do things. Every instructor is patient and full of knowledge. Very glad I chose this school. I now work in EMS thanks to RapidEMT.

Tim Mercer: Great program!!

Nichole Holmes: Fantastic school would recommend for anybody great teachers and fantastic training!!!

Emillio B: Best EMT academy ever! All instructors have extensive experience and are knowledgable and provide us with the instructions and guidance to go above and beyond. Administration is exceptional as well, the administrator is here every class and does a brilliant job of organizing lecture schedules, clinical rotations at the ER and fire department, providing us with an organized binder on the first day of class, and returning our exam in a VERY timely manner; the best admin ever. I highly recommend Rapid EMT, all products are renown and beyond competent EMTs.
