I took the CNA course and it was amazing. Mrs. Cole was very attentive and positive. She made the entire class flow really well and made it very understandable to everyone in our class. I really enjoyed my time at this college.

This is honestly a really good school . The instructors are very helpful and knowledgeable. My phlebotomy instructor is Rosa , she is so patient and always makes sure our class understands what she is teaching us . The program is about 4-5 weeks and it goes by so fast !!!

Awesome school with an amazing and informative instructor Mrs. Cole. The skills learned on site were interactive and helped me objectively and subjectively understand why things are done the way they are done. I can't wait to use these handy skills in the work field!

I attended the school right after graduating from high school. I was nervous to attend college, but my teacher and all of the staff made me feel comfortable. I was hired on externship, and I am now working as a medical assistant.

I love this school. I attended their MA course and I have learned so much. Vanessa Cantu and Naomi Campos were my instructors and not only are they patient and supportive but they are extremely knowledgeable. I left feeling confident in my abilities and ready for extern. I’m definitely coming back to do the phlebotomy course. God bless Mrs. Cole for opening this school, it was a life changing opportunity.

Update: 04/15/2024 -5 stars Graduated and passed all my classes July 2023. Did my internship (the only one in my whole class that got it internship) finished and completed a month later. I have had no luck getting a job in this field at all. I have done multiple paid resumes updates. And still no luck getting a job. I have had no one reach out to me from the school about anything at all after I graduated and left the internship. There were four total students in my class. And none of us have a job in Billing and Coding. There is a two year minimum experience needed to even get a job anywhere—> here local or online. So I don’t have two years experience so I can’t get a job. It’s an endless cycle. I wish I had this knowledge and it would not be an easy Experience to get a job at ALL in this field. The total balance of Of my class, books, and uniform and other minimal expenses like pencil backpack came up to $2600. Out of pocket. At the time they did not mention that there was a program here locally that will pay for your classes completely and uniform completely. I wish I had that knowledge, and it should have been provided. I feel that an abuse of knowledge. Now saying all that I would not recommend this college nine months later here I am with a degree that I cannot use because no one will hire me because I do not have two years experience. I am not the only person my classmates cannot get a job. So my money wasted, and my time was wasted. At the end of my classes, I had had roughly 3 major meltdowns because the classes were intensely excruciating so hard. The amount of knowledge you need to learn and memorize daily was about two chapters and a test almost every other day. Again, I just would not recommend anyone. —>Original post(they offered extra credit if we did a post fyi); 4 weeks in and such a wonderful experience so far. Every detail in class is very well explained very professionally! The college is always super clean and tidy and always smells lovely when you walk in. Front office could use a little spruce. Classes are very well arranged and fully stocked with things that are needed. I love the payment system for my tuition and love that I will have ZERO debt when finished. I really feel like when anything arises they always are prepared(the staff) and know what to do. The teachers are so lovely truly..truly kind hearted with so much compassion and commitment towards each student! Classes are hard, don’t think there not I mean it’s college, but you have many ways to come early or stay late for help or just study here at the college. They also have a very clean restroom and fully stocked kitchen that’s very clean. There is a great coffee shop literally behind the college that is really amazing too(highly recommend)! My overall experience and expectations are superior and fantastic! I would highly recommend this college to any family or friend! Truly wouldn’t regret it… even in the later or early stages of life as all ages attend here. My added expense not included with tuition -books -2 scrub sets(my choice to by 2) -miscellaneous school materials -Highly recommend a scrub jacket to match! -backpack but would suggest one with wheels as some books are heavy.

This school is so amazing I recommend it to anyone who’s interested in the medical field. It was such an amazing experience and I loved the people that became my friends along the way. It’s a very family feeling environment and everyone there is so nice and helpful. Mrs. H’s class was the best and I honesty wish I could go through the program again just to be around more. The four and a half months flew by so quickly and I recently finished my National test, Mrs. H is very helpful and will help you prepare for the test! She’s so kind and helpful the test was a breeze!! If you’re looking for a cheap and quick program, this is the one you’ll want to go to!!

I had the worst experience here. Vanessa Cantu was my teacher for the Medical assistant program and was the worst teacher i have had. If you want a legit school that cares about their students and feels legit do not go here. However, Nexi was a good teacher but doesn’t work there any longer. i would not recommend this school to anyone.
