Here are my notes from a recent call:
New season starts every 6 weeks
A+,Net+,Win 7,MCSA,CCNA, Sec+
Classes are Mon-Thur 6-10pm, hands-on, instructor-led
Day time for training, interviews, occasional one-on-one with instructors
3 90% transcenders test runs before actual certification / 2 chances per cert section
Whole year to certify after 4.5 months training
PluralSight access for a year post-season
Length - 4.5months/18 weeks
Full-time student status
Thoughts?
I'm really curious about this program after PO3 Raymond McCoy's post about the program.

I've attended NH before.Overall, it's a good option. The quality of the program vary buy instructor; some are excellent and others should stick with being technicians or administrators.
The program is relatively expensive on the surface; you can easy pay $2000-$4000 per class. However, you can normally classes and get your certification in a short time. (Between a week and a couple of months) allowing you to go into workforce quickly and IT Jobs can pay well.
IT courses and certain are not easy. yes, at new horizons you finish a certification prep course in a week or two and they often provide vouchers to take the test after the course. Keep in mind, you're cramming 200+ pages of material into a week. It may require some additional study and preparation to ready for examination
Many working professionals attend NH at some point in their career to check the block for the next certification milestone in their career. They're a solid player in the industry, I'm just you an idea of expectations. Good luck!

Unclear about the question, what notes do you speak of? As far as locations, I don't have a preference. I attended their brick and mortar classes as well as taken online courses. They're both good. SGT (Join to see) -

I have taken a few courses with New Horizons. As SFC Michael Jackson, MBA stated, good option .. quality of instructors will vary per location (some excellent, some good, some shouldn't be instructors). I am currently looking into MyComputerCareer as have excellent training program as well as job placement (80%) upon graduation; job placement begins upon completion of first 2-3 certifications (total of 9 certifications upon completion of program).
