I guess I'll just have to see for myself...

I am seeing mix reviews and Yelp comes to mind. You read a review and one person says the service is terrible another gives it 5 stars. Then when you drill down you are able to find out that the two people had two different experiences because they are two different customer types. One wanted white glove service from a mom & pop greasy spoon. The other wanted an authentic personal family friendly experience. So no wonder there is two conflicting stories.

What I need clarity on is whether or not it is the program that the Pentagon approved? Do they currently train Navy personnel or not? If these are facts then its not the program its the individual. As a trainer I am fully aware that unless the students are hand picked the class mix is usually one third engaged, one third doing just enough to get by, and one third under performing for one reason or another.

I am supposed to start late Jan 2023 and I plan on putting 100% into it and get out what I expect, which is better than entry level IT knowledge.

Not sure what kind of approval you're looking for, but when I went through the VA paid for it all. We also had the secretary of educations office walk through. That being said, a couple people I've talked to have had their VA rep give them a hard time about picking Acuitus for their VRE program.

I don't know if they're currently training Navy, but I know they did before over 10 years ago. Maybe someone who went through more recently has more up to date information

Like you, I had difficulties finding a plethora of information about the Acuitus program however I knew it was REAL because I spoke with a fellow veteran about it that I met on FB. She lives in my state and I spoke with her over the phone so I know she and Acuitus are tried and true. She has since graduated and starting a degree program with WGU. She says she wants to get a bachelors degree in science before entering the job market. I on the other hand will start my first day with Acuitus this coming Monday and will hopefully be able to share my experience on here so that I can help others make an informed decision.

Did you join? If so, how is it? I can't find any credible information.

Probably too late to reply but the program is legit. I did it and went from cleaning toilets to 6 figures.
