20 Best Cna Programs In San Jose, CA (2022 Updated)

The administration is not interested in offering equal access to education for parents who are looking to get one. The college is not interested in reestablishing the on-campus child care center. Also the administration knew the science building chemistry hoods were not functioning properly for years and never let students know. The professors are incredible but if you are a mother good luck because the college doesn't care that in order to access education, women with children (those who require an education for a chance to improve their children's future!) need some equitable student services. Don't take my word for it scroll through the reviews. Most reviewers are male even though majority of students who attend the college are women. Read into it what you will but the facts remain that the college has a child care center on campus but refuse to renovate it even though property taxpayers agreed to pay for it (measure g 2004).Melissa Martinez

The college incorrectly listed me as a non-California resident. When I attempted to fix this, I found that I could not get in touch with ANYONE from the business offices. Eventually, they started having a debt collector call me because I wanted to sort out the residency issue so that I would not be charged nearly $1000 for my classes. This has been going on for months now, I attempt to call their offices almost every week and no one answers me. I'm beginning to suspect that they are just trying to force me to pay the non-resident fee so that they can get some extra cash. All in all, I have had a horrible experience with the administrative services, and if I could get on the line with anyone, I would have been happy to have paid the appropriate tuition months ago.Laura Israel

Overall, the colleges is good. However, other colleges are doing much better. $ stars for the efforts in trying to become better. Recently they have started to work on the new Gymnasium building. Teachers and professors are good but they are very diverse. The teaching style of all the teachers differ and they might not be ok with everyone. So choose your class wisely. Overall the crowd is good but sometimes you might find some not so friendly people. I am not sure about the safety. However, most of the colleges in the bay area sucks with their security provisions.Ashutosh Dube

I started the program with Ms Perez as my lab instructor and ended with Ms Patrice. I'm older, laid off from a 25yr career and didn't know what to do with my life let alone where to start. Ms Perez and Ms Patrice made learning so easy, fun and amongst all, they made it interesting and made me feel excited to keep attending. The process at Unitek is easy to complete due to the communication level the staff has with their students. My career advisor, Ms Lisa is great! Ms Lisa Literally held my hand through the exiting process, kept in touch throughout my externship, made sure I was staying sane throughout the process of going to extern, working nights and taking care of my family. Walked me through my application process for a job, held my hand through the interview process, kept in touch throughout the whole process until I got an offer letter!!!! My experience with everyone at Unitek was great, but my experience with Ms Lisa is one that needs to be recognized!!!!Chris Fusi

I had a wonderful experience with Ms. Patrice my laboratory instructor and Ms. Perez. Both have mentored me & helped me become the MA I am today. Ms. Lisa Haynes in Career Services is a hard worker & goes to bat for her students. I received a job offer during my externship, that was too good to pass up as a new grad, thanks to her guidance. I recommend taking your MA in the day class as the PM class lacks structure & professionalism with one particular teacher…that is the only reason I left off a star. The school itself has a fully functioning lab for clinical experience, is safe, clean, holds dinners or gives treats for student morale and tuition is less than other schools in the Bay Area.Jennifer Wills

Instructors are professional with vast and extensive work experiences. They are genuinely caring and helpful for the sucess of the student and learning environment. Each department provided substantial support that made going through the program easier. Courtney and Rachel with Career Services gave us the confidence and tools to help make the transition from student life into the working world smooth.Gigi Tamayo

I like this school. very affordable, very convenient, for those who are struggling because they have kids to take care of or they can't go in person or they can't afford expensive schools. This school has all that. they have in person/online class and you can also bring your kids too if you want and most importantly its affordable some CNA's schools now they pay really high. Doc Cliff and wife are very friendly. very nice people you could ever meet.I like this school very much because its not boring. Doc cliff is really funny. He is very energetic and very smart. He will really guide you thru everything. If you need help he will really help you. Im glad that i get to attend to this school because i made family. I made new friends And learned how to work as a team. Ilove you guys!😊🤗 Thank You Doc Cliff & Ate Aileen!❤️😊🙏leilani Manon-og

I studied and finished my CNA Class thru CAL ACE Nursing Academy CNA program. I passed my state exam with flying colors! Big thanks to Dr. Cliff Roperez, our instructor, and to his wife, Marilyn, who was always there for us. Dr.Cliff is a knowledgeable, energetic, and a very good mentor with a passion for what he does. He was patient with all of us and prepared us for the exam. He shared many invaluable insights and lessons from his experiences which helped us.Highly Recommended!!!!Luz Carrera

I was searching for Nursing Assistant certification, cna classes, cna program, cna certification santa clara, cna classes san jose, cna program san jose, cna and hha, continuing education units, cna weekend classes and always this site show up. That's cool! Whoa, good to see the school has a All the five stars and they got the 100% passing rate for the skills! I will get my niece go there.Camp Director

I have been working with United Healthcare staffing for a couple of years now and it’s one of the greatest companies I’ve worked for!! The interview and application process was simple yet thorough and I didn’t even have to commute from Santa Cruz to do the paperwork or anything. They pay is VERY competitive and higher than any other I’ve seen in the area for CNA and offer raises. The best part about working with United Healthcare Staffing is the flexibility! I get to work in different locations and when I work at a place I really like, that has the availability I can schedule all my hours at that facility. It’s like being your own boss but with really awesome people! The schedule and hr staff are so friendly and supportive! And I truly love the places I get to work! And they have a good reputation with the facility’s they contract with!Kaili Miller

I’ve been with this company for Several years now. And I plan to be with them many more. I’ve Never have had any issues. My calls, questions, concerns I’ve ever had, have ALWAYS been addressed. Job opportunities are always available. Staff is and been supportive and meet all needs. Weekly pay. Always on time, if your time sheet isn’t in payroll will reach out to you to be sure you have one to be turned in. I am continuously recommending Alll individuals in field to reach out to UHC before anyone other agency. The support, respect, professionalism, and understanding is priority at UHC.!melissa arisiaga

I have been working for UHC for about two years now and have enjoyed every minute. The staff is great and treats you like family. I enjoy that I am able to make my own schedule, and if I wish to pickup some extra shifts they always have something for me. The facilities are close to my home which is a great bonus and their pay rate is higher than other agencies. I really love that when I find a facility I really like, I can always get shifts while making wonderful personal connections with those I care for. I highly recommend this agency.Michelle Stafford

I am a working registered dental hygienist who graduated from Carrington College back when they were at their previous location relatively close by on San Ignacio. I can't speak for the program now since alot has probably changed in terms of administration, but our program director Sherry Heaney, department of hygiene staff, and supervising doctors were all great and provided us with excellent, rigorous education. We had a very thorough clinical and classroom education there at Carrington which allowed my graduating class to pretty much all go through the program and pass our National and regional boards for hygiene. The cost for the programs I will admit is a bit pricey as it is a private tech school, but they do have loan options. I just recently paid off my student loans after working part time for 3-4 years as a dental hygienist. Also keep in mind that the program was only about 1.5 years full-time vs the 2 years you would expect to go through from one of the renown lottery local community college programs at foothill, Diablo, etc. By all means if you are lucky enough to get into those programs go there as you will save a ton of money, but education-wise my education was on par with those schools. After we graduated I received many phone calls checking up on me to ask if I had been employed yet, so they do seem to check up on how we were doing after going through the program. If you are coming into this clinic as a patient, understand that this isn't a dental practice. Carrington makes nothing from having you come in for their essentially free treatment. They don't "prey" on people without dental insurance because Carrington receives no benefit from you coming into the department for treatment, and rather it is more of a service to you and the local community. That being said, you will be treated by STUDENTS and their only gain from you will be clinical experience. Treatment planning and the amount of time you spend in the clinic will also be ALOT longer than it would be if you were to go to a dental office. I'm talking about a few days of you coming in for appointments vs an hour at a dental office. To Nichole's review, since I can't directly respond to your review: I am unaware of how your periodontal health was before treatment but most likely you had gum disease. If you are having gum recession after treatment that you didn't expect, then I am afraid maybe you didn't have enough patient education. That is something that just happens if you have gum disease and receive treatment for it. Your gums recede because they are swollen initially and you already have bone loss around your teeth. Once they firm up they will naturally recede to match your bone levels. As a practitioner it triggers me when the patient blames the doctor or staff for the patient's own negligence even though as practitioners we have the heart to basically do charity work for them. It is sad that you feel entitled to free treatment and then blame your healthcare provider. Just my two cents here.Unsullied Roarrior

Hi my name is Jessylynn I am from Philippines, migrated here USA 2009, I know in myself that my passion in Dentistry will stop but by year 2016 I met former student of Carrington College, she’s working a Dental Hygienists now. Thanks to her because she encourage me to go to go back to school and try to inquire. The staffs in Carrington College are friendly even the janitor and security guard and front desk. I remember the first day doing my inquiring in this school, I met Troy he was my enrollment advisor! He’s so nice, funny and cool! I like him! I like how he help me and my friend to get this in the program. He extends his arm to help you for what you need to get in the program and take note I don’t have money, nor credit score or anything financial. It’s true that the private school is so PRICEY! I can’t blame or complain about it because it’s private school and you’ll graduate in 1.5 years not including pre req. Troy explained everything about it, how you’ll pay and how much you’ll pay. Honestly, I didn’t know what I’m doing but with the help of Carrington College staff I would say I owe them from what I became now because they helping me to make my dream come true even you don’t have money for now, it’s like get your degree and pay later! I am now in Term 2 in Dental Hygienist Program! Carrington College of Dental Hygiene Program Department’s environment is peaceful. The faculty are very friendly. This the place where you can learn many things. I honestly can say, their way of teaching is not intimidating, they work harder just to make sure their student doing a good job especially in the clinic, your practice skills (oh, a lot of COMPETENCY, which is to test your skills, if you failed then they’ll teach you until you get it) and lecture. I love how they focus on your hand skills, your ergonomic (protecting your back, I don’t even know that!) BASIC is life! They teach you not only to learn how to treat patient but they care also for you to love the job so you’ll not injure your overall health! Mrs. Clark is the one who welcomed us in this Program, she’s so gentle when she talk and I love her teaching in Radiology subject and not only her you’ll love. All the DH department staff are friendly and funny that what’s make me go to school everyday and excited to LEARN. They’re all knowledgeable, professional, and they will not stop failing you until you get the PERFECT skills, they’re not judgmental they’re always asking “DO YOU HAVE QUESTION?”. One of our Instructor said “MISTAKE IS A OPPORTUNITY”. I realized being perfection is not what make you GREAT! I don’t wanna brag everything but their teaching reached my beyond expectation. I can’t wait to finish my Program and start to work!Jesselyn Berganio

This particular location has some very wicked women working in positions they’re obviously not qualified to work in. If you’re a woman of African descent, they work so hard to keep you down and out of the programs, if the salary will start at a healthy rate. Yet they’re pretty rude and condescending to EVERYONE! They try to intimidate the students for having questions. They’re very unsupportive and unprofessional. They will gang up on you, knit pick with you, hold unnecessary bully like meetings with you, etc. these women can’t handle the responsibility that their position Carrie’s . They’re old as Medusa and have the audacity to mock an older student. It’s a shame that after all that women have been through overtime , these women believe that it’s their job to try and hold another woman back. I had a heart issue due to a medication I had taken while I was a student there. I was admitted into the hospital, and still managed to attend my class the following day from my hospital bed. These women verbally attacked me in private the first day I returned to campus. I was still weak from being ill, which caused me not to be able to properly defend myself. Fortunately, I was able to record the second attack—all because I inquired about what the protocols would be in the event that students became ill with covid. They wanted to meet with me again privately, the meeting took approximately 1 hour, yet my question was never answered. Instead they brought up all kinds of other silly things, while gazing at me like I was an experiment. There’s a lot more I have to say about this campus and it’s Surgical Technology Director, Lab instructor, and the Director of Student Services. They behaved like pure monkey’s.Tara Newton-Bailey

I would highly recommend this excellent, professional, well skilled trainers and great training organization for any of your safety training needs. The class room environment was excellent with comfortable desk space for all students providing a great learning experience. I took an eight hour CPR/First Aid Class and I will not go to any other training sites for my two year renewals. Our trainer was excellent. She was highly trained, very qualified to teach this class and made learning enjoyable. The eight hours went by very fast. I walked away feeling confident that I would be very capable of using my learned skills due to excellent training she gave for (Pediatric and Adult) First Aid / CPR.Dorie Ockenden

I love the effectiveness and efficiency of registering for a course as well as the options that the organization provides to become certified. You can hybrid it by taking online and attend some in-class learning. Or you can completely take the course in class. The in-class course made learning interactive, detailed and supportive for you to pass the exam at the end of the course. The instructors are very knowledge, professional and friendly. State of the art materials/equipment. I will continue to use Safety Training Seminars for my certifications. Thank you and wishing you guys all the best!L.Marie Watkins

This is by far the best! Trainers are always very helpful and very knowledgeable! This year with the pandemic it was. A bit different. Their online BLS was great! Super simple and easy to follow up! Also you go in by yourself and complete the hands on with a baby doll, and upper torso of an adult connected to a computer system. You follow the instructions on the screen, and while you preform CPR you are guided. It’s almost like playing a hands on video game. Strongly recommend if you are a self learner, work better alone, or beginner to online courses.pedro andrade

I did not go to NBA but working with the admins of the school, I get to interact with students and they highly regard this school. I worked with Linda Reyes and Mr. A of NBA through the Filipino American Chamber of Commerce of Silicon Valley. They are highly regarded community leaders who advocates for the best interest of the city of San Jose, Santa Clara County and the Filipino American community. As much as they want the best for the community, they also want the best for their students. Linda has been active in various organizations to promote their newly graduates to the start of their careers. I would highly recommend their school if you would like to start a career in healthcare.Emmanuel Valencia (Manny)

NBA School is very lucky because it got truly amazing instructors. I took a phlebotomy class with Mr. Santiago who is a science professor. He deserves 10 out 5 stars for laying out all the material for you the most comprehensive way possible. He truly cares about his students and makes sure you are ready for the national exam. As long as you study your notes, read the textbook, and take some practice tests, you'll get your certificateElton John

I took the CNA course on Saturdays and Sundays with Nurse Builder Academy and it was probably the best decision I've made.they prepared us for the exam with practice exams and helping us with the skills every week. they kept the class interesting with their fun stories about the experience as a nurse. they are amazing instructor and I'm glad I got to learn from the best!Andrew Humtsoe

Back in March, I read around for CNA programs local to my area. A few of them declined/were hesitant to enroll me because of some scheduling issues (there were some days I absolutely could not make it to class), which would supposedly put me way behind in terms of course material. When I made the decision to visit Golden Heart for an informational meeting, I was so glad that they were COMPLETELY willing and happy to work around my schedule. I ended up taking and finishing their course, it has been a really fantastic decision. Here you will have two instructors, Mr. G and Ms. Savella, who are amazing teachers, provide excellent preparation for the state exam, and make the class really engaging and humorous at times–it undoubtedly makes the classroom a very relaxing and fun place to learn. The classroom is kept really well-cleaned, bright lit, and they provide working, new, and high-quality supplies for you to practice with. They recently purchased an additional brand-new bed and mannequin, so there's even more opportunity to practice the "practical skills." Mr. G and Ms. Savella also provide an ample supply of snacks, water, and coffee to help keep the students satiated and focused throughout the lecture day. With their valuable tips and willingness to help drill the practical skills/theory material, I was recently able to pass my state exam. Highly recommend this course!Tien H. Lam

I am extremely happy that I came across Golden Heart School of Nursing while searching for a CNA training program on a whim back in November of 2021. Mr. G was very thorough about what the program entailed and honestly answered every question that I had. Mr. G is a super understanding person and is very flexible with those who may have a busy schedule outside of class. He is very accommodating, but makes sure that the work ends up getting done at the end of the day. I also enjoyed how the theory and clinical skills were taught concurrently; I never got bored. Also, Mr. G is naturally an approachable person and is genuinely there to help his students should they have questions or need further instruction/help. I genuinely had such a great time in this program. Besides the material learned in the program, the environment was great, there was a ton of parking(for those concerned about parking), and people, including the instructors, always brought in a ton of snacks/food that was shared among all of the classes that are taught throughout the week. You will NOT regret choosing this program!!!Delena Padilla

I got CNA certified with Mr. G's AM class over the summer, and I highly recommend this program! Mr. G is a very knowledgeable instructor. He knows how to prepare you for the CNA exam from his years of experience. My classmates and I felt very capable during our exam. As far as I know, almost all students pass the exam with Mr. G's guidance. He is also very on top of scheduling CNA exams and overcoming any bumps in the road. When our exam couldn't be scheduled on a certain date due to lack of space, the testing center contacted him personally to work out a different day. Mr. G has lots of experience scheduling the exams, and I would trust him to make sure you secure a test date. Mr. G is also very accommodating of his students. He always offers students the flexibility to attend different classes, carpool with him to clinicals, or come in and practice after class. He really cares about his students and makes sure they feel supported in his class. If looking for a CNA program to sign up for, I would highly recommend Golden Heart!sela j

I am writing this review as a new grad from the LVN program at Unitek's Hayward Campus. I chose Unitek as the location to take on my nursing education after attempting to go through the community college route. The CC route can be long and dragged out as many of the science course are impacted. I knew I wanted to be nurse and Unitek was my express ride to that goal. Classes were very informative and every class was directed to nursing concepts and skills. This kept me engaged throughout the whole program because the goal of being a nurse felt more tangible because I could directly see how what I was learning would be applied once I finished. My theory instructor Mr. X was PHENOMENAL. He created an environment that was conducive to the success of his students. His lectures were not only interesting but his passion and knowledge was more than evident. In short, he wanted us to be successful, knowledgable and confident nurses. My skills and clinical instructor Mr. Singh and Ms. Lisa were incredibly smart and resourceful. Mr. Singh taught clinicals as if we were hired nurses and wanted to be sure we understood how to do things as well as WHY which I think was priceless. He also taught us about the real scenarios that could potentially happen in the real world as nurses that you would not necessarily find within a textbook. The LVN program all in all was a rigorous program however the school provides resources to each of us as students that would help us be successful. My recommendation to any prospective student is to build a rapport with the people around you including your classmates (i.e. create study buddies and study groups) to help you and use your resources (ATI and ATI textbooks.) I graduated June 30th, 2022. I passed my nclex-pn in 75 questions on July 26th 2022. Unitek works!Sherelle Davis

The whole staff, admissions, financial department, and student services(Leslie) was amazing and very helpful in helping me navigate throughout the process of getting into the Unitek Program as well as achieving completion. Yes it get's harder as you go but always listen to the professors who will ensure that you are learning as much of the material that you should be learning to be successful and hopefully pass the NCLEX-PN. Taking this program is all about discipline and just like at work and school you will feel pressured throughout because of deadlines, but learning to organize, prioritization, and finding your learning style and adjusting to where you can both feel focused and prepared both mentally and physically for tests and all other course content is very important to be successful in this program. HAY 3 2021 <3Julianne Cristobal

I went to Unitek to get my LVN license and finished a little over a year ago. There might be hiccups here and there, but the teachers at Unitek really make it a great program. Mrs. Thomas, Mrs. Heidi, Mrs. Woodard and Mrs. Brown are some of the best teachers I’ve ever had. They’re always there to help you with any questions you have and they go the extra mile to ensure you have all the tools you need to succeed. They will sacrifice their personal time after work hours to help their students. I just started my BSN program and I remember so much of what I learned at Unitek because of these teachers. The school itself might not be perfect, but I couldn’t have asked for a better education.Jake Peterson

I recently completed a certified nursing assistant program here and had an amazing experience. The staff is amazing and super helpful. You can tell that they genuinely want you to succeed and will do whatever they can help you get there. The program is also very affordable compared to many of the other NA programs in the bay area and is just as high quality of education as the programs with the big price tags. The class schedules are also very accommodating with a morning and evening option. I was able to easily concurrently go to my college classes as well as these classes without missing a single day. 5 of my classmates and I took the state board exam in the end of September together and we all passed, going in feeling very prepared. Overall, a great program and I would highly recommend it if you're considering going into nursing or want to become a nursing assistant.Carly Koch

Terrible place. They don’t even refund your down payment when you cancel that is supposed to just save your spot in a class. Don’t pay right away when you’re signing everything. You’re better off waiting so you can save your money. Their class credits aren’t transferable either so if you want a higher education with your certificate or degree, you won’t get it with this college I really want to pursue the LVN course at medical carrer college Today I had a talk with ms/mrs who runs this business a representative of this college.he asked me many questions that had nothing to do with helping me access the course.I felt like I was a criminal being questioned by the police.I did not have enough patientce to continue the conversation.Sorry i didn’t recommended to anyone to go this collegeJoban Dhummi

The school is not that big like other schools but the knowledge that I learned is so much more than I expected, the professors are all nice and helpful, after you graduated they will help you to find a job, I remember when I was doing my externship and I’m not the only extern at that time I have 2 fellow externs and I was so surprised because they are graduated from different school and I don’t expect that all the knowledge that I learned from MCC is I’m going to share with them I’m the one who trained them how to do the proper way to do the EKG and VITAL SIGN. And I will always be thankful for all my professors and the owners of the school, And I proud to introduce and recommend this school for those who’s looking and have plans to go back school.Angel Jardiel

Not a question but just a desperate comment. This is so depressing I tried to contact the program director as recommended by the business manager here. She never reached out to me and all I was told is that my money was not going to be refunded because I decided to not continue with the program. Well after ALL of course I don't want to continue with the program all this lies being told to me before you guys took my money. You must know that $1500 is a lot for anyone in my situation that's why I begged to get it back since I borrowed it now I have to pay it back and on top of that my mother is very sick. Not that you care because is not your mother but there is things I could use this money for and I am just so desperate because I can't borrow more money since I can't pay this $1500 back. Can someone please help me. Dr Craig was very rude since the beginning and asking about empathy and morals but ma'am where is your empathy now??? You criticize me for not being able to respond to your question about the meaning of it but do you really know it???? My mother is dying 😢 and all I am asking for is for MY BORROWED MONEY BACK so I can help with something. I am miserable right now. I just need help to get this money that I NEVER USED back please.Other User

I personally had a good experience at Unitek, the instructors Ms. Sarah, Ms. Suttle and Mr. John always had good feedback and I felt that they cared about us getting the subject/task we had to learn. I was pleased with the practice I got to do, though we could have done more practice of urinalysis, snellen chart, hearing tests and others I can not quite remember at this moment. Amanda Garff with career services was awesome! She was always there when I needed any help with a question or with my resume. She goes above and beyond for students. One thing I did not like, was the fact that before we went onto externship, there was not much communication from the extern coordinators to students going out, we did not know our assigned site, or our schedules or the person whom we had to report to until 2 days before our start date! I know myself and other students were kind of upset that we really did not know our schedules so that we could coordinate child care for the ones who have children.I S T

I had an amazing experience at Unitek. Very helpful teachers and all staff members. Each and every one are dedicated to make sure you are prepared for anything needed for school and your career they are helping you build. Debbie Cacy helped me put together a stellar resume, helped me find, prepare and get an interview for my externship site. They also helped me stay on top of everything even when life was a little bit crazy, they reminded me what documents I needed to turn in and when. The communication is amazing. I have never experienced so many people in my corner helping me succeed in every way they possibly can. I would recommend Unitek to any one interested in a career in the medical field. Even after graduation they are helping me to find a job in my field.Cayla Custodio

I am very excited about my new class. People are awesome! i love the flexibility of the schedule. SO nice to finally get started with the class in October . And the best part id the online capability of the class.Lenora LUnderwood

Now i am a cna and i am very proud of myself. I keep thinking online classes are boring, but this is different. I love this school Thanks cliffDanielleI Davidson

The staff here is very friendly. This is one of the locations that is set up for specialized donations, as in platelets, plasma, and double red cell donations. I recommend making an appointment, as this is a location that has a number of regular donors. So, walk-in donations are not always available or able to be accommodated promptly. Specialized donations tend to take longer (procedure time), so those donations get prioritized at the intake level – especially if staffing is short that day. I am a fairly regular platelet donor, and even when I have had to wait a half hour or longer it has been rare (2 times in three years).Megan Willis

About a year ago, I had the worst experience in over 20 years of donating. An over 70 min wait time. I left, didn't even donate. I've been back a few times since, and today I had a great experience here. a) quick, lickety split. In and out under an hour. b) a great phlebotomist. Quick, nice, but … Biden says the pandemic is over, so why are way too many people still wearing facemasks? In my opinion. 😊 Facemasks are now optional here, and I didn't have one on, and neither did the person drawing my blood. *Thank you.* The sooner we get back to normal, all of us, the better! 👍Kevin Brown

This is a pretty nice building. HOWEVER, they absolutely do not respect your time. Second time in a row, I have to wait for over an hour and a half in the lobby. What’s the point of scheduling for a specific time if this keeps happening? If there are too many people donating, why do I keep getting calls that there’s a shortage of donors? Considering that it’s a $30 Uber ride from my house to this location – I think today was my very last time here.Pavel Savva

I love this school! Though It is a smaller school, it allows for a lower student to teacher ratio.Giving opportunities for one-on-one time with the teachers.The faculty is amazing at how they prepare you to be ready for the work force, preparing you for the trade you want to focus on. They have tutoring services with Valerie, she is always willing to lend a helping hand for anyones doubts in their tests etc., and teaches extra support classes for basic math and english for anyone eager to learn more! My experience here has been very memorable and exciting. I am ready to work, and learned much here at my time here. CET is truly a wonderful place to learn and work at. Thank you CET for teaching me!Melissa

This school is a lie and a joke. They do not care about the students education in the fields they are pursuing they keep hiring teachers that never worked in electrical before one of them was a DJ from some night club when no electrical background so they pick based on they’re looks alone it looks like. There was only One teacher that they hired that knew what he was doing and the school got rid of him because the lazy students didn’t want him there anymore if you want to do the electrician course it’s a free pass you’re basically paying $15,600 for a ETcardAllen Jones- Taylor

Never went to this school but did call them, thank God the people answering the phones are as bad and disorganized as the reviews about this school. Go to IBT I got my ET card in about a month and can start working in the field while I go to school. I'm posting this for those who couldn't figure which school to go to. I'm not saying IBTs the best but so far my experience has been great with them.Paul Anthony

I took this workshop in January, 2008 before going to my CPNE weekend test in February, 2008. Tina was very kind, knowledgeable and realistic about our endeavor as a class. She had workstations set up for us to practice after she did thorough reviews. She gave us extra time to repeat areas of weakness. She freely answered questions. She allowed us to come extra during off time from classes to continue practicing. She clearly had our best interest at heart. I flew from Tennessee to California for this class and still believe it was well worth the cost, travel and my time to take this workshop. Take the workshop seriously, listen to Tina‘s guidance and you will succeed also first time in passing your CPNE as I did. Do be aware, it was very clear to me that the people giving the CPNE did NOT want you to pass. It cost me $2500 to take the test. If I failed, I had to wait six months, if I am not mistaken, before I would be allowed to pay another $2500 to try again. The hovering over you, the pressure you already feel related to completing your degree exacerbated are real. You must remain focused. You must be determined to pass after you prepare as best you possibly can. In one of the CPNE work stations, my hand shook so badly that I dropped a syringe. I automatically failed that station. Thankfully, I was able to repeat it the following morning, passing it. So don’t give up. Do review plans of care. You have to provide these as part of your test. You are being timed and they are watching that as well. But don’t be afraid. You can do it with the good Lord’s help. Having passed my CPNE, I proceeded to take my RN boards in March 2008 and easily passed it. I have worked for 14 years since as a registered nurse, with my emphasis being in hospice care. I have also worked in hospital settings and the home healthcare field in managerial roles. . And now as I am preparing to retire in the next few years I am loving on dementia care residents in an assisted living facility in my hometown. My previous 17 years as a registered respiratory therapist have been invaluable yet I have never regretted pursuing my nursing degree. And I have never regretted going to Tina‘s workshop. Thank you Tina for providing this avenue allowing me to use my God given abilities to help and love on others in such a special field. Sonya L. Ownbey, RN RRT TennesseeSonya Ownbey

Having browsed through and having utilized many other review courses on the internet, a friend finally introduced me to Ms.Tina for the PMHNP exam prep and she made all the difference. She is very dedicated to helping her student succeed. Thank you Tina for your awesomeness, I recommend everyone who is preparing for this exam to utilize the content she has prepared such as the study notes and guide, review Exams and memory bullets. I was blown away during the exam to reflect back on how right on point her content is. Thank you so much Ms.Tina for this review course and thank you for sharing all your knowledge and encouragement that tremendously helped with passing this exam! I did exactly what you advised me to do.  🙏🏼 My advise to new PMHNP graduates, invest your time on Tina's study review and content, and take the exam when you feel well prepared. Wishing everyone Success!wisdom ubom

I am so thankful for Dr. Johl. I can confidently say that she is absolutely the only reason I passed my boards and I could not be more thankful for her. The exam questions she has prepared are completely on point and are the only questions that I feel are equivalent to the ANCC board questions. The time she has spent to make sure her students are successful is unbelievable. I am so grateful for her practice exams and all the time that she spent with me. I felt very confident walking in to my boards and I was able to pass on my first try! I swear by Dr. Johl! I would recommend her and her program a thousand times over! Thank you for everything!nicole wersonick

My experience at Bay Area Nursing was great! The school is a new school that opened this year and I was one of the first students in the school! I passed the state CNA Skills and Written Exam the first time I took it! I assisted with providing the school with information on how to apply for the state exam and the pamphlets on the skills portion 👍 I received clinical and in class skills experience. My instructor, Alicia, was amazing and caring and admin was satisfactory! Apply, Apply, Apply!Mary Bien-Aime

Great school and very reasonably priced. My instructor was Jeremy, he teaches the weekday course. I took this course during the summer and it was a little over 4 weeks long. Jeremy was great! He went above and beyond making sure we had the tools to succeed and he individually followed up with us after the class was over. Nothing but good things to say about Jeremy 🙂 definitely take this class if you are looking for a short and affordable cna course!Rose Cook

I was one of the first students to attend this school in January of 2022. My instructor, Alicia, was great at preparing me to pass the state exam on the first try. The class is very organized and easy to complete within 5 weeks. The people running the CNA school were very helpful and responsive as well. Going here also allowed me to find a job opportunities as well, so I definitely recommend it!Catherine Almeida

I started the CNA training here and after few weeks due to the schedule of the nurse that does the training, the class schedule was changed. I couldn't not continue and me and few others wanted a refund. Edward agreed to give us refunds but told us to wait because he didn't have the fund at the moment since it is not our fault. I gave him time and I followed up few times going to his office as well as calling him but I never received my refund. Not only did this experience wasted my time but I lost a lot of money and could not do another program that lined up with my schedule.Tigist Teklé

I decided to take NATP with NCHI because I wanted to get healthcare experience as a CNA in order to go to PA school. The six weeks at NCHI was awesome. The teacher was incredible at teaching and the six weeks went by very fast. My favorite part was making new friends among my class and having a ton of fun. NATP was the highlight of my summer. I would recommend NCHI to anyone wanting to learn how to be a great CNA while at the same time enjoying the process.Emile Carlo Convocar
