I just finished the welding program at Mountwest and I'm already working! The instructors were really knowledgeable and hands-on, especially Mr. Henderson. The facilities could use some updating, but overall it was a great value for the tuition price.

Mountwest is okay. I'm in the Pharmacy Tech program. The instructors are good and really know their stuff, but the school doesn't offer a ton of student activities. It's a commuter school, so not much of a social scene.

I took a few continuing education courses at Mountwest. The facilities were clean and accessible, and the administrative staff was helpful. It's a good option for affordable education in the Huntington area.
