20 Best Cna Programs In Tampa, FL (2022 Updated)

I have nothing but great things to say about this college! From my very first interaction over the phone with Amy DiMartino, where I had expressed to her my concerns and dissatisfaction with a previous nursing school that I attended in Tampa. Amy, was very understanding, professional and addressed all of my concerns. She was quick with setting up an interview with me at the school and she was a great asset in my academic endeavor at Arizona college of nursing! With Amy’s help and the rest of the staff at AZC I was able to transfer 30+ credits, take 7 GED courses and progress into the Nursing Core program in just 6 months! These past few months at AZC have been the most influential and educational months of my life. It is a fast paced and challenging program, with only 8 week semesters! But trust me, you will learn so much in such little time and will be so happy you did it! I am so proud of myself and feel very accomplished at this college. Everyone at AZC are super friendly, accommodating and knowledgeable! There is so much you will learn at this school! The instructors and professors go out of their way for their students here, making sure we are all understanding and grasping the material! Transferring to AZC has been one of the best decisions I could have ever made for my education and future nursing career! Thank you for being here AZC!Kayla Angelica Urena

I did a lot of research before checking out AZC for the first time. I had a lot of bad experiences with other schools and the constant going in circles to get into the programs I was looking for. The very first person I spoke with was Madison and she was absolutely amazing she listened to what I wanted to accomplish and where I wanted to go with my career. She also understood that I’m a full-time working single mom and had other priorities. She was very patient, knowledgeable and transparent with me and gave me every little detail along the way through the admission process. I just started my first session at AZC and so far I couldn’t be happier I’m so glad I finally made the decision to pursue a career in what I’m passionate about and I’m confident with the amazing administration and staff at AZC that I’m going to accomplish everything I’ve set out to do.Jacqueline Acevedo

In July I made a spontaneous decision to go to nursing school after giving up on it. I toured a lot of schools but none stood out Until, I came to azc. I was greeted with smiling faces. I met with Amy, and she was so sweet and accommodating of me and my family who came in for support. Every step of the way, Amy was there holding my hand and I have grown so fond of the family like environment here at azc. Amy has encouraged and motivated me the entire process . I’m only in my second week of class but I know from now that I am exactly where I need to be . Every one here is incredibly resourceful and I couldn’t asked for better! Thank you AZCJay Diaz

I had to make sure I was reading the comments from the correct school. This school is an absolute joke. DO NOT GO HERE! I feel as if the people that are reviewing the school have attended the school for about a month and they still have high hopes. Don't. Lol. We paid over $10,000 to take OPEN BOOK QUIZZES for the first 8 months. The school was not at all challenging I feel as if I cheated my whole way through the course. Yes, I did read. I still study with the books that I have today. Save your money and just take some online courses or find free courses. We changed instructors very often so the teaching style and tempos were very off. If I could go back, I would not at all go here. To put the icing on the cake, they tried to take credit for ME obtaining a job that they did not help me secure. I applied through Indeed, landed a job, and received a call a while later informing of something along the lines of "accreditation" and "Did FCC help me land the job" lol NO. It was not because of my experience with the school either. I had prior work experience. I could go on and on. Just don't go here. Go to HCC if you really want to go to school. I am only giving two stars because I created good memories there… with a man that I met while in class and now we gave a family. 😊 Now that my rant is done. The school has great potential. Better/permanent instructors are NEEDED/WANTED. Life isn't full of open book tests.Tam Tam

I didn’t want to write this review because the the staff was great to me but what happened to be here was very discouraging. But definitely read the reviews and don’t rush into places.. I started the Medical Assisting program My instructor Mrs.Bowling was amazing. Lisa with administration was amazing and Miss.T in financial aid was also amazing. Tho I took my tests which made me eligible for my classes after a few weeks in the program and all the progress I’ve made they give me a call one morning letting me know my test scores are lost or were uploaded wrong on they’re part and I’m not able to come back to school until I retake the test because there was nothing they could do about it and on top of that I would have to restart my WHOLE ENTIRE course and wait for they’re new program to start so I would come in as a new student. It’s very discouraging and disappointing after I’ve pushed myself to finally go back to school and find a career and it all being “crushed” because of the schools mistake that no one would take responsibility for as I was told. I’m not an employee there and I would be PAYING THEM and RESTARTING everything to fix THEY'RE mistake. My feelings were completely HURT as I had to fix THEY’RE mistake which I refused to and just withdrew from the school. So again. Take your time and READ reviews.Cameron Gonzalez

I went here for the EFDA program. It was one of the best experiences I've had. The instructors for the program are truly amazing and the best. Mr.B will sit with you untill you truly understand and grasp what he is teaching you, Mrs.Dee is very patient and one of the most kind people you will meet. Miss.V, I think had the most impact on me, this instructor… It's almost hard to put into words just how amazing she is. She saw the potential in me that I never knew I had. I don't understand some of these bad reviews…. Even if I had a issue that my instructors couldn't help me with Miss.Laura would sit and help untill it was solved and Mr.Jim would do the same. I'm in and almost done with my externship now and Mr.Mike who helped me get to my extern office will help you every step of the way. I learned so much in my time at FCC not just about dental but about myself too. I've not only gone on interviews but, I've had a a ton of dental offices reach out to me and want to hire me as well. I plan on being one of the best EFDA's in my field and that is all due to the one's who taught me.Jessica Lavelle

I was in the night class best class ever ms Lena , ms soy , and ms Sandra were the best instructors ever! Especially ms Lena from helping me fight to get in the program , helping me with skills , and being someone that I can turn too when needed about anything ! I truly thank ms Lena for helping me with this opportunity! I only had one problem when I came to my sponsor since Lena was no longer in that position & it went to Evelyn I feel as if I’m not getting into the right job it kinda seemed like she (Evelyn) wanted me to just take a job even though they are trying to hire me as a med tech and not a CNA I was told that she was communicating with the admin over at the job but when I spoke with her she said she had no clue of what I’m talking about or who Evelyn is. I asked her could I please switch to a different job she said she would contact the facility Im trying to attend but I don’t really know or believe she did when I was told the she communicated with the other job and didn’t. Other than that I love the program really great instructors !Amaya Marie

Morning class teacher Ms Soy is a great teacher she made sure we were prepared for our state test in every way possible. Ms. StaLena is also a great addition to the team she goes above and beyond to help find is sponsors. HOWEVER, Ms. Evelyn has only reached out to me once and I wasn’t even aware she was the career specialist who is supposed to be matching us with sponsors has not done nearly half of her job. In the 6 weeks we were in class she only matched me with one sponsor.Anika Gordon

Had the best experience and I made life long friends in this class! Sandra , Soyini, and Lena are life savers! It was truly an amazing experience to be able to learn and connect with this group of people! If I could do it all over again I would until the day I die. This experience is what you make it. We made the best of it. I’m going to miss seeing everyone everyday but I can not wait to see where life takes my new loving friends. Thank you Feb Night class of 2022!Mariah Goldwire

I cannot imagine having better service than what I received from Lori and Veritas Nursing Academy. I completed the remedial course, theory and clinical, online. I reactivated my RN license after decades of being out of nursing. I was determined but nervous and didn't know what to expect. Lori put me at ease right away and was full of encouragement. She really cared about me and my success. Lori was always available when I had questions and concerns. She took a lot of the stress away. The course was well planned, comprehensive, and extremely well adapted to online learning and evaluation. I felt a sense of pride and accomplishment upon completion. Thank you, Lori for doing what you are doing. You and the Academy are a real asset to the Nursing profession.Carol Koogler

I had been searching for answers to how to reenter the nursing field as it had been years since I last worked as a nurse. I became frustrated and was even advised to return to school and take the nursing program again. I finally checked the board of nursing and found a few web sites listed on their page for a remedial program I contacted several programs and found Dr. Lori Barnes out of Tampa, she has a great personality and was always willing to answer any questions I had.The classroom had a wonderful and knowledgeable instructor for in person classes. It was well worth the money and I left feeling able to meet the challenges of returning to the world of nurses. I would refer anybody to this school without hesitation.Janet Bustamante

I took a fast CNA test prep course with Dr. Lori. I passed my exam just the first time I tried and got a wonderful feedback about my performance. The material she taught me was extremely useful and meaningful for the test, and just the live as a future CNA, RN and NP. This course motivated me to keep going further with my career. I never write reviews on google, but the reason why I am writing this one is because if you the reader, see this, know that this is the right place to go! I am genuinely telling you! Do not miss this opportunity!!!Andres Leyva Vera

In 2015, I began my journey as a new single mother to a sick little infant. I was going through a divorce, trying to understand what could possibly be wrong with my angel and trying to go to school full time in a new career field. From day one my guidance counselor, Mark Parker was my cheerleader. As a father himself he understood why I was so scared of the unknown regarding my little girl. Classes started and Amy Mercer helped me with all the didactic portions and insured I never said I can’t. Nichole Lambert was and still is the director of the ST program. Many times I thought I would never make it and they all assured me I not only could but would do great. Well then I went into clinicals and met Lucy Alvarado. She pushed me to be the best me and all together with the support of all of Concorde I not only am a CST, but I have surpassed that. I became a First Assistant then graduated with a BPH and now an MPH! A masters degree!!! And I could not imagined I would ever be where I am today without them! One team one fight! Thank you Concorde.Cortney Swanson

I am a ST student at concorde since February of 2020, I love the program, the students and the teachers really try to help you if you are lost or behind. During the covid-19 pandemic the teachers did not hault the program but they instead had us do our campus classes online and we meet up on 'Teams'(or zoom sometimes) 2x a week to go over our class work and go over our PowerPoint. I love how flexible we all are. We still have lab 1-2x a week and sometime split up people to minimize the amount of people in labor. If we email our ST teachers they get back with me within a short amount of time. I'm excited to graduate May of 2021😊Rose Hopper

I am a 1995 Concorde career institute graduate valedictorian of his class I am a certified medical assistant retired now. I went back to college when I was 35 years old and did this so any of you younger guys or girls you can do this. I never had a problem getting a job. Is a matter of fact they are very competitive and at this time there's a ton of them out there certified medical assistant is a very rewarding career. Concord clear institute is an excellent place to learn and get an advanced education. Go for it man I did!Dale Doe

Amazing Class, very hands on. Our instructor was on point and guided us very closely along the way. Took the time to work with us individually as needed. Stay behind to insure we didn’t leave frustrated or confused from the class. Was quick, easy and convenient except for the parking (lol) be prepared if they have a events downtown. Only reason why I rated 4 stars. Everything else is great. Don’t waste another second guessing or wondering. This was the best & quick investment ever for my future. What are you waiting for! FYI I got 90% on my national exam!Lashanda Jones

This class is excellent. Quick and easy. Jaime Clark was my instructor and she’s very good and passionate about what she does. She is very informative and thorough and you can tell she’s here to teach because she passionate! She is very hands on and ensures that you are confident in how you feel and understand every step of the process. This class is fast and easy to understand and Jaime makes sure you know to ask questions as you go. I definitely recommend this class!Alexys Elenich

The class was very knowledgeable and easy going. I felt extremely comfortable drawing blood after the two Days in class. Jaime is super helpful and down to earth. She will make sure you are 100% comfortable in drawing blood before you leave. The vibe in the classroom was always good and moved at a great pace. Definitely recommend to anyone looking to start a new career or refresh their skills In phlebotomy! Jaime was definitely awesome!!Stephanie M

Where do I start?!? I applied to UMA back in May. I planned on listening to what they had to say, then go on my way. I have now been a student at UMA for almost 4 months! Starting with the recruiter, it seemed like a long process, but it really wasn’t. Financial aid was easy as well. Your student advisor stays in touch with you once a week to make sure everything is going okay, but you’re ALWAYS welcome to call them if you have issues. UMA also has a department that you can get in touch with for any personal issues you’re having in your life. The classes are 5 weeks long. You have your instructors number and email if you have any issues. They have a Dean’s list and Alpha Beta Kappa. The resources at UMA are endless. My experience at UMA has been amazing. I am doing the online classes because I live in Memphis Tennessee. I make my own schedule. Attending UMA has been a life changing experience for me. I never imagined going back to school at 43 years old. I never imagined being an A student. The instructors are extremely helpful. I’ve had a total of 5 instructors so far, and they have all been very helpful and professional! (Shout out to Ms. Lee instructing CI100 for being AMAZING!!!) I have enjoyed my journey here at UMA so far and I definitely look forward to the next year. My name is Jammie Beloate, and I am UMA. #PumaPrideJammie Beloate

As someone returning to school as an older adult, I'm pleased with how much support you have while taking these courses. There is a lot of material to cover, but if you listen to your instructors and use the online resources you can get the work completed on time every time. Currently, I am taking two courses and I never get frustrated or tired of doing the work. The coursework and chapter readings all work cohesively to help me gain a better understanding of what Reimbursement Specialists, Medical Billing Specialist, and Coders do on a daily basis. Also, if any thing goes wrong with a textbook or assignment not working correctly just call the technical support and they guide you through step-by-step to resolve the issue. The Instructors are so patient will do everything within their power to make sure you understand the learning material. I recommend UMA to anyone who wants to broaden their understanding of the Healthcare Industry you should enroll at this school. They truly want to make sure every student has a successful academic journey.Joyce Brooks

My UMA experience was awesome from the first conversation to graduation and beyond. The support was amazing ever step of the way. When it seem hard and I wanted to give up each week my professors would post encouraging words that would make you push a little harder. The feedback with each assignment and the quick response from my professors were what I need to stay on top of my classes. My counselors were always there for me and checking on me weekly. They were like family and could talk to the about anything. Tech Support was always there when you had any problems and made you feel like they wanted to help. I would recommend UMA to any one I meet that want to go to back to school.Wylene Natteal

I will admit that being newer to the area, I was a little uneasy at first about training and testing here. However, I couldn't have had a better experience. The website was easy to navigate, clearly outlining and explaining in detail the CNA process. Class sizes were comfortable, allowing for most of the class to be dedicated toward hands on clinical skills rather than a full lecture. I'd like to extend a heartfelt thank you to the center director, Vanity Barr-Little. Hearing her speak about the business and livelihood she has created as well as dedication and time she's put into not only the training center itself, but each and every person who walks through the door, made me realize just how much her, Laura, and the instructors really do care about their students' success.Jillian Mooney

Everything that you need to know about becoming a CNA will be shown to you here! Mrs. Noreen was my instructor and she was nice, fun and most importantly, she was extremely informative and made sure that our class understood what is required of us to pass our exams and to become successful as CNA's. The center has everything that you will need to perform all of the necessary skills as well as a practice room that you are welcome to use to practice physical skills in after the course is completed. This allows you to take as much time that is needed for you to feel comfortable enough to take your state certification exam. I highly recommend getting your training here!David Rashon

Signed up for a CNA class a couple of months ago and due to some life events was not able to take my certification exam as soon as I'd hope to. Spoke to Laura and she helped me through all my questions and doubts as well as offered me options to help me prepare for the exam. Also completed my BLS (CPR) certification last week and it was so informative and engaging. I received my certification the same day. Laura, Dr. V, and all the other people who work here are the nicest and most helpful people ever! If you need any medical certification, I highly recommend CNA Training and Testing! Their prices are very reasonable too!Sabrina Sanchez

I'm so impressed with my second go around at Florida technical institute. I'm going to school for my CNA . I must say Brandy is Fabulous!!!! Brandy gets right in and shows you how to do the steps. Her way of teaching with going over the chapters , giving index cards. Her friendliness, postive up beat vibe honestly helps build your confidence. I left my first day feeling confident that I was going to pass my state exam .I couldn't wait to return! Awesome Instructor !! If you get Brandy as your instructor you'll be on your way to success! I believe with no doubt I'm going to pass and make my dream come true after 5 and half years. Love love love this CNA class with Brandy👏✌Katherine Gonzalez

I took the CNA crash course with Miss Cynthia back in 2016 and I loved every moment of the teaching and experience I gained. I passed the course with no problem. I just recently returned to the school to take the phlebotomy course with Miss Crystal. I mean between the support from staff and the teachers , there’s no way you can fail unless you don’t put your effort to succeed. It’s all up to the individual. I am now a proud CNA/Phlebotomist and I want to Thank you all from Southern Technical Institute for changing my life and helping gain the knowledge I needed to fulfill my dreams😇👍🏼M Soto

I took the CNA course with Brandi as my instructor. She is the best on the planet. She is really informed, encouraging, and upbeat. I would be prepped to pass my exam, she told me. I have a high level of confidence. The STI crew is excellent in every way. The reception area is quite welcoming. Southern Technical is the way to go, so don't second-guess it! Update *** I passed my test with a perfect score thanks Brandi ❤️Dominique Gaines

If there was a zero rating I would give this school or scan it I paid 350 for my CNA I worked day in and out so I can pay for it that was in may if I’m correct I completed the course online and everything I received an email saying they didnt have any clinical days open except for this august on the 15th I replied ok I can wait for august to do them I didn’t receive any response after that to this day I’ve calling to ask them and the lady kept saying the person for that is not there so today I decided to trick them I called she said call back at 4:30 which I did the phone said it’s closed so she told me to call back knowing they were going to be closed by then I was nice and everything now I want my money back so I can go somewhere else stealing from people is not good I will not take it because it’s my sweat I worked for that money you don’t know what I went through to get that money…please don’t go to this school it’s not real it’s a scam trust me I have everything to prove if you want me to !!!GAFFARESS Prim

Unprofessional, pathetic service, had an appointment at 10:30 for Pearson Vue insurance exam and asked in to come 15 mins before, reached little more earlier when waited from past more than 30 mins I went and asked front desk lady it’s already 10:30 she was rude saying tht it will late than 10:30 couple more mins u can’t start exam early but can start late. How pathetic service and answer,… don’t give me proper reason or how long will it b late. Usf banyan circle location near usf tampa was very professional went earlier on time , scanned all belongings put in ziplock provided locker hand sanitized, and it was sound peaceful atmosphere , to give an exam there. Finally waited for an hour got to give an exam for two hours already was very disappointed with this wait time for this king exam. I don’t recommend this cna centre at all… please chose your centre other than this centre.Reshma S

C.N.A Technical Center is a wonderful place to get your Certified Nursing Assistant certification from. C.N.A Technical Center has courses in Phlebotomy and Basic Life Support as well at a affordable cost. They include multiple classes to fit with your schedule and also offers online courses you can take virtually from the comfort of your home. What I enjoyed most about attending this training center was the hands on skills and performances from the professional healthcare instructors. I recommend this training/skills cite to anyone looking into getting into the healthcare field, this place is 100% legit in providing the necessities you will need to become a Certified Nursing Assistant. So what are you waiting for? Contact the office during normal business hours and start on your career path today ! Tell them Deborah sent you 😁.Borah Dior

Worst experience ever i wasted my time here while i could done something better and you will see a whole bunch of good rates on here and Facebook because the ask the student to do it so but all they really care about is explode your wallet get as much money as they can from you and your good rating so nobody knows what they really do. Poor staff service they won’t try to help you at all not even if you sick like i said all they care about is to gain the money from you. I really feel bad for the teachers and instructors because they do a wonderful job but the system in general is trashy.Lazaro Pinelo

Aguilas has such an amazing group of devoted people working together. They are devoted to pleasing their students and helping them through every step of the way. I love that they offer all their programs in both english and spanish and provide free english classes. Talk about a gem in the middle of Tampa! If you are interested in starting a program in the allied health field and are looking in Tampa stop by, you wont be sorry.Emily Mass

In Aguilas International I obtained my certification and then my phlebotomist and EKG Technician licenses. I am currently enrolled in the medical assistant course. My feelings towards the school are of infinite gratitude.in Agmedtech one feels like in a big family. My teachers are Excellent professionals and the staff of the school are very nice and they are always worried about the students.Mi M

(Translated by Google) Very pleased with the attention and education of Professor María Kasapoglu, today I have been certified as a phlebotomist thanks to the efforts of both. Very good classes both practical and theoretical. This is the ideal place to promote new knowledge and improve ourselves. Thank you (Original) Muy complacida con la atención y educación de la Profesora María Kasapoglu, hoy me he certificado como flebotomista gracias al esfuerzo de ambas. Muy buenas clases tanto prácticas como teóricas. Este es el sitio ideal para fomentar nuevos conocimientos y superarnos. GraciasMariangel Prado

Medical University of Tampa is by far one of the best medical university’s in Tampa Florida. With their hands on program I was able to obtain my CNA certificate. In the near future, I will be taking the phlebotomy course. They have awesome bilingual teachers, they also worked with me on a payment plan. Overall I am 100% satisfied and I will definitely recommend the school.Jessenia Thompson

(Translated by Google) I completed my certification as a medical assistant, I feel very grateful for everything they taught me, very good methodology, excellent recommended course (Original) Realice mi certificación como medical assistan me siento muy agradecido por todo lo que me enseñaron muy buena metodologia excelente curso recomendadoJuan Moya

Unaccredited, on probation, unable to receive financial aid, super shady business practices, constant policy changes to fuel a desperate need for cash – need I go on? Staff was disorganized and unqualified. Power and internet would routinely go out due to unpaid bills. Zero on campus resources for students, yet you’re billed for them. Lab equipment was old or nonexistent. The clinical experience was mediocre – frighteningly so. So much in fact, that they require you to individually seek out over 300+ hours of “externship” shadowing a registered nurse. They promise placement assistance initially but when the time comes they don’t offer it. The facilities I contacted to try to secure those hours were just as confused as I was. Some semesters we wouldn’t find out our class schedule until the day or even hours before. Then it would be changed several times over the course of the class and we would all have to scramble to accommodate. Classes themselves were rushed and the material was irrelevant or shallow. Until you get to the mandatory exit exams – which are an extra $2,000 and include a mandatory VERBAL exam – that’s when they slam you with the difficult content that they failed to teach you. Throughout all of this, emails and calls were ignored or continually deferred. You receive no backing in the form of an advisor – not an ounce of advocacy for your right as the consumer. I decided it would be best for my future and my sanity to leave and seek education elsewhere. With that said, even if I had somehow made it out with a licensure I still have zero faith in the quality of education received. I would have been woefully unprepared and a danger to patients. I’m truly baffled that they’ve managed to remain operating for so long.Kat Cyr

It’s really 0 stars. Everything you read negative about this school please take my advice and believe it. Don’t waste your money, energy, & time at this school. I started Nov 29th 2021 the classes were not even showing up on the website for me to look at the syllabus and assignments. I “the student” had to call the school & notify them of the problem… I sent a email to one instructor instead of her helping me she decided to reply back 8 days later & expected me to had completed an assignment that she failed to send to me. Another issue is they give out too much busy work. Accelerated programs have a quiz n test weekly. Not this program. It had for one week 6 assignments due. The week of Xmas I was blocked from getting into the website to do my assignments for my two classes. This school is a hot mess & a waste of time. There’s no structure at all. I think the online program at this school is a learning process & as of now it’s not worth the 3k.highly favor

I attended my ASN at the school. I commuted weekly for two hours to get to school but it was worth. The school like any nursing school had its problems but overall the education was really great and i passed my board and am currently working in Hospital Peds Unit. I like that it was affordable , well when i went there it was affordable. I dont have a lot to pay back in student loans. Everyone was very nice and friendly expect for one instructor who was rig and not accommodating. Would i recommend someone there YES, i passed the boards and so did my friends and our classmates. It was overall a good school. They just need to be a little more organizedAlice N

I called to get more information about this facility and had many questions about the program, different offers they had and ect. At first the conversation was fine I was reminded about how they have many students who attend their courses and pass on the first try. I began asking questions about the online content and how it would be presented I also ask about time frame and their passing rate. As I continued to ask my sensible and appropriate questions I encountered a tone and attitude of the individual that was not profesional. I was questioned and asked if I am trying to obtain information "to open up my own CNA facility" because the questions I was asking were not normal questions a person should ask. Then the individual continued to use a tone that was not professional.Then said they would never allow me at their facility and became very angry. I was in shock to have received such poor customer service as I was simply asking questions about their facility. All that was reiterated was that this was an 18 year business and all their students pass on their first try. I have never attended this school and quite frankly would never attend this school.Natalie Molina

I bought the PCT Package, it took me about roughly 3 months to finish from start to end. This is including the wait time for the CNA exam, which took me nearly 2 months but at no fault due to Arianna. I was doing this while also working 30 hours a week. I was skeptical at first, which is just how I am, but I have landed a full-time position at TGH thanks to this program. As soon as I completed all the paperwork, obtained my CNA license & BLS Certification, and finished the 24 hr. CEU'S, I applied for positions. I got multiple interviews and a few offers, which included the position I was aiming for since before starting this program! Going from a fast food job to a hospital position with a 45% increase pay along side full health, dental and vision benefits is AMAZING. Easily a great investment and value of $500, it's honestly a steal. If you are hesitating, DON'T. This is more than manageable with a fulltime job if you are able to prioritize your time. Arianna was also quick to respond to questions or problems. Best of luck future CNA's!!Lyric Aurora

After looking at a few programs, the TampaBayCNA was by far the best choice I could have made. The instructors are both extremely knowledgeable and friendly, and certainly prepare you for the CNA exam. I really felt that the students success was their priority. My favorite part of the program is that they let you come back and repeat classes as many times as needed. I was able to attend the classroom course, access the online videos as much as I needed and whenever it fit my schedule, and then repeat the in person part of the course right before my exam date for a refresher. This was super helpful because I was able to ask all my last minute questions for the exam. Their online classroom is user friendly and a very helpful tool to becoming very familiar with course skills. Thanks to both instructors, I was adequately prepared for my exam and passed on both parts on my first try. I continued my education with them to PCT as well. I would recommend TampaBayCNA to all my friends, family, and anyone with an interest in the medical field.Jessica

Just took my CNA at this school best decision ever. She works with me around my work schedule. She’s very detailed with the lessons, and work with me one on one. And it was very affordable. You will not be disappoint.Karine Almanor

Very professional and the class and instructor were very organized. I definitely would recommend if anyone is looking to take any CNA classes or any other medical professional.Cynthia Garcia

If I could give them zero star I would, please do not waste your money on this school the phlebotomy program is terrible at least the one that Dr Harris teaches, she’s rude unprofessional and beyond disrespectful. She hates teaching phlebotomy she seems nice at first then boom she’s short with you and condescending. This whole school is unprofessional both main and west campus. They will take your money and not give you your certificate when you graduate. Dr Harris is refusing to sign everyone’s certificate she did not show up to our graduation and now she’s refusing to sign the certificates. They know how to collect your check for payments but do not know how to fix anything that they screw up, they didn’t have enough equipments for class and we missed a whole week of class that pushed us back because she decided to go on vacation. Main campus is also holding my refund check from the cares act reimbursement they are refusing to give me my check. This school is horrible do not waste your money you will regret it.Susan is beyond unprofessional and rude, she talks bad about the students behind their backs she gets mad when people call inquiring about the programs she even go as far as calling them stupid. Mr risher doesn’t care about anything except for money, he will straight up lie about ordering equipments and not actually order them. Just like he lied about ordering our certificates but haven’t ordered them the entire staff of Erwin west campus is refusing to give us our certificates they stole our money and dodging our calls and hanging up on us.lyssa lennox

I have been at this school since 2017. The medical coding class was great and my teacher was amazing. I have had a poor experience in the nursing program. Some of the administration are disrespectful and fail to speak to us as adults. We had a teacher that really did not know her stuff and eventually she was replaced. The teachers she was replaced with are great. But we lost so much time, and tried to talk to the higher ups for so long. We could have solved this issue a long time ago. But the administration did not value our opinion and do not respect us.. instead they labeled us the "problem class" In reality, we were given the short end of the stick. No clinicals…. but the surgical tech program is doing clinicals at TGH… And I was told the nursing program at Erwin has been put on probation.Nakita Savage

Worst education I think anyone could ever receive. I've been in the nursing program for over 6 months. The teacher (you get 1) sits in the corner of the room on her phone, doesn't teach hands on skills, has a poor understanding of the content herself, and yells at you like you're a child if you make mistakes or fail to understand a concept the first time. We haven't even learned how to take vital signs in over 6 months. They make you put your cell phones in a hanging pocket organizer in the back of the class like you are in elementary school. The Nursing program is on academic probation with the nursing board but they won't tell you that when you enroll. Find anywhere else in the world to go get your nursing license. Run.Karen MeanGirl

My experience as a doctoral student was horrible! The professors were not helpful or friendly. They treated minorities unfairly and their prejudices were very evident. I would not recommend this school to any minorities that are seeking their doctoral degree in nursing.brenda wallace
