About the Moscow Academy with thanks
Reviews of the Russian Customs Academy in Lyubertsy say that studying at a university was not easy, but overcoming difficulties was justified. The teaching staff has earned the honor and respect of many students for the quantity and quality of knowledge, as well as for the ability to present them to students. Graduates wrote that almost all teachers tried to explain the subject in an accessible way, citing examples from their practice. Part of the seminars was fully devoted to work in the real conditions of customs, where students were shown how everything happens in a regular work mode.
A lot of good words have been said about the hostel. It is noted that it is new, the rooms have created coziness and all the conditions for a comfortable stay, as far as this is possible in principle when living together very different people. Students are happy to talk about the technical equipment of the educational process and express confidence that not all eminent universities have such opportunities. It is also mentioned that learning is not very simple, there are some nuances, but anyone who wants to get knowledge will do it under any conditions.
Negative and neutral reviews
The Russian Customs Academy received reviews with negative reviews for the neglect of students from some of the administrative staff and teachers.

In the objections to these reviews, it is mentioned that the academy primarily trains specialists for the public administration sector and it is worth looking for a job in the customs service, without spraying on private business.

These people see the future and are confident in their choice. Those who hardly went through the sessions and could not decide on labor activity spoke out negatively.

The Russian Customs Academy (St. Petersburg) received few reviews from students and graduates.

Reviews about Rostov branch
The Russian Customs Academy received reviews from students of Rostov with positive marks in 2016-2017 for modern technical equipment, the qualifications of teachers and wide opportunities for mastering the theory in practice. Graduates write that the seminars are taught by existing customs officers, from whom you can always gain real knowledge about the use of technical tools, existing software, acquire communication skills and much more.
The Russian Customs Academy has almost no reviews of the Rostov branch with negative reviews. Rare complaints are expressed about a modest number of places in the hostel and a small dining room. Most of the problems are not related to training, but to the fact that in the customs service, nationwide, the number of places has decreased and now there are problems with finding a job.
The Russian Customs Academy is a relatively young departmental university. It is believed that quality knowledge is taught in two areas - "Customs" and "Jurisprudence". Having received education in these areas, a graduate can count on a decent job, and with a certain persistence and quality of knowledge - become a customs officer.
