Question:
Are Westwood College or Lincoln Technical Institute good choices for obtaining medical training?
I have an AAS as an administrative assistant, yet I have not been able to land a job in the medical field. I would like to obtain a diploma or certificate from a good institution that won't rip me off. I am not sure if Westwood or Lincoln are any good. Please help me with suggestions as to where can I attend?
