20 Best Emt Programs In Birmingham, AL (2022 Updated)

The administration does not care about you. They do not care if you are a student or an employee, they do not care about you. They do not care about your kids, they do not care about the job you have to work on the weekend to make ends meet. The top administration will continue to rake in money for themselves and make sure they’re providing both employees and students with as little as they possibly can. All you are is either potential money or potential labor. You are a commodity to be used to the benefit of people you don’t even know. The highest paid are coiffed and in state owned vehicles while the people that actually work with the students wonder if they’ll have enough money for food.Leann Cooper

The entire art department is a joke. Calhoun has crippled its own photography program by getting rid of the best studio photography teacher it has probably ever had just because he didn't have a degree yet he's been a professional working photographer for about 30 years. Calhoun has a bad history of hiring people to teach that don't do their job. The dean and the underlings don't care if you have a problem if it affects their staff. Calhoun is famous for minimizing the parking spaces despite the rising number of students attending each year. The financial aid department is worthless too. I'm transferring to Wallace State instead of going back to Calhoun to earn my degree.BringPopcorn

What I love about Calhoun is that they want to make sure you know how to do. Hands down Calhoun is one of the be places to study IT in the state. The classes are small enough that you are able to get hands on training and your taught by instructors who work in the field. Not someone who is good at taking test and decided to teach. The only complaint I have is that Calhoun should try to improve the student experience more. It's hard to accomplish considering most students are only there 1-2 years but there should be more university sponsored events live movie nights, dances, etc.Christoper J

The staff never answers phones. I've been calling for weeks and can't never get in touch!!! Now school starts Aug. 22 and I think I'm to late for sign ups! I called again today and called every option just to speak to SOMEBODY there but, once again no answer. I heard great things about Wallace and that's why I choose to go there but, they are probably the worst in communication skills!!!! my name is charity enfinger and I would really like to be in the nail tech program but, due to poor communication skills from ALL the staff I've missed my opportunity to get a better career for my two baby girls. One is 7 months and the other is 2. I wish I could get in if only they'd answer the phone!!! 🙁Justin Walker

I am a current employee who graduated from Wallace Community College. As a student it was the best move for me to make immediately following high school as I was not socially ready to attend a major university. At Wallace Community College I learned how to study for collegiate level classes and manage my time in such a way that differed from high school. All of the courses I took transferred seamlessly to Auburn University which saved me money. Now as an employee I see all that goes on behind the scenes. I love my job and see all the time an effort faculty and staff put forth to make the learning environment and this college experience the best it can be.Brandy Dowdey

They need to offer more degrees like RV repair, Cooking school, Fashion Design, Sewing, Interior Design, Private investigation, Restaurant management, etc. They keep turning out the same degrees that over saturates the work force and brings down the pay so bad that a high percentage of graduates go into something else or use their degree as a side hustle. I don’t think it’s fair to Dothan’s growth to force students to leave town to get top paying degreesSummer Knight

I went to the Wadley Campus, and it was everything that it promised. Class sizes were reasonable, 15-25 people depending on the subject, no lecture halls of 200 here. The instructors cared that you understood the material and on multiple occasions I had instructors go out of their way to help me when I needed it. Instructors understand being an adult and having adult problems like kids and mandatory overtime getting in the way of classes occasionally. I needed to visit the Opelika campus a time or two, and they are bigger than Wadley, but I got the impression that they were more heavily trafficked, too. The original campus is in Wadley, my grandmother(!) got her teaching degree there when she still had to teach 3 grades in a one-room schoolhouse. However, the Wadley campus was rebuilt five or six years ago, and is -gorgeous-, with a friendly community that's sort of grown up around the college. They DO offer financial aid in the form of both Pell Grants and Stafford/Perkins loans, and the Wadley campus has dorms as well. To the other posters: You -should've- known only original transcripts records-office-to-records-office would be accepted, that's the way every college does it. Also, if you didn't feel part of the community in Opelika, it may be something about that campus which is in direct competition with Auburn and located along the highway. Wadley is idyllic and friendly in the middle of a rural county with very little else in town besides the college. I recommend it to anyone who asks, and intend to send my daughter here one day.Jonathan Gregg

This school is ridiculous. After mailing all transcripts and sending teas scores, I go for the mandatory info session for nursing. I get there and find out that my transcripts cannot be accepted because although they were official they were mailed to me first. So I asked for them back, only to find out they had been opened so are no longer official. But she said the envelope said issues to student. Also my high school transcripts could not be accepted because although they were office they did not come directly from the high school, nailed to student first. I graduated in 2008 and Fulton County has a records office, they wont come from the high school once the next school year starts. Here's the kicker, I submitted all documents 6 weeks ago and never got notice about an issue and the deadline for nursing admission is today, in an hour.. Annndddd I drove from Atlanta. Andddd the dean refused to talk to me. And the main campus told me I should know better being that I already have a degree. Sooo yes, with transcript fees, mailing cost and gas I've thrown away 102$. Wasted time can't even accounted for.Christen Johnson

It's a community college. What can you really expect from a public funded college in the state of Alabama with a grand total of a few thousand students? What you pay for is what you get, teachers and administrators compensated at a social worker rate, most likely as just some extra work as a side job. On that note, the campus itself is aesthetically pleasing and classroom sizes are small for optimum learning. Some teachers are superb, some are not, let not the difficulty of the class be the decider of proffesor quality but with how much more knowledge and better understanding you walk away with.Howell Scott

Got my B.S. here, and am finished with my coursework for my MBA, just waiting for grades to be posted. Saw some of the negative reviews…thought I'd chime in. Excellent School, especially for a Veteran like me. Well organized, and if you need support, ask for it, it will be there. Accreditation is not an issue. If they weren't accredited, they couldn't take the GI bill. I found a job with a Fortune 10 company, and they accepted my degree just like any other. Whoever said that in the review down there is wrong. Very well organized class structures, easy to navigate interface, and hell, they even send you the books for the class you register for- automatically and at no additional cost. Not once did they fail to do that. Professors normally have a PHD or other terminal degree. Took a lot of classes, only had issues with one of them, and she's gone. Some were absolutely awesome. That said, it's adult learning. Not everyone gets an A on everything. Do the work, get the grade you earned based on the syllabus and rubric for that assignment…it's not complicated. I apply the things I learned in my classes to my work as a project manager. The direct relevance of the curriculum to today's business environment is outstanding. IF you are looking for a great online school, especially as a Veteran, this is the place.Bo Scott

ZERO STARS. Fun story…I hurried to get my credentials in, my post 9/11 GI Bill eligibility letter, etc to be enrolled, for less than a week. To my extreme dismay, as I had asked the appropriate advisor multiple times, my VA benefits were NOT fully given to me. The school will tell you that taking their 2 class maximum is considered “full time” status for you veterans out there, don’t let them fool you. You deserve every penny for your time served. To add to that, 1 of the 3 assignments I turned in before kicking this place to the curb, was graded on a persona level…meaning, I responded to what the assignment(discussion board) asked, yet because apparently my professor didn’t like my answer on a personal level, I was given less than a 100. It was a personal belief question and asking other students what made them join the class…who does that? How do you get an 87% on a pass/fail discussion board? Don’t let me review sway you. Do your own research and enroll if you like. If you are a veteran, continue your search elsewhere brothers and sisters. They just want you for the VA payments.Brandon Morton

Enjoyed the coursework – currently working on my MBA – until I reached the Business Ethics course. I am a college instructor and have several other degrees and went from making an A on every single assignment throughout the entire program to barely passing the Business Ethics course due to the instructor. He grades on pieces he doesn't ask for in the rubric and even has the gall to announce to the class that "we should not take offense to his grading". I fully agree with many of my classmates and several other people that have commented here that it's not the best option when choosing schools. There's a reason they schedule you to have this course at the very end when graduation is approaching – if you had this instructor first – no one would continue spending the money to attend the school.Amber Wolf

It's a cheap college and a good start to a college career. The financial aid office and basically anything coming from the Bailey Center is a nightmare to deal with. 95% of the time, they had no idea what I was talking about. And I just about had a come apart on multiple occasions with them. Make sure to hound them when you ask for your transcripts, it took them months for them to give me my transcripts. The bookstore is pretty outrageous in its pricing. Also, coming from someone who went to a challenging school system, the work was usually not hard. In fact, I am terrible with math, but I breezed through 75% of my first math class within two weeks at Wallace. Most of the facilities are updated except the men's dorms, theatre, and the computer science center, which are not well taken care of. Missing floor and ceiling tiles, parking lots in need of repaving. Almost all of the professors are great and actually care about your progress.Voltaire Vinci

Great school, received my Associates and transferred afterwards to UAH. Really sweet people. If you live far away be prepared to only communicate in-person for Financial Aid and Admissions. It's very difficult to reach people by phone or email but once you walk in (unless it's right before the semester starts) there is usually no line and a short wait to talk to the right people. Also, this school is known for its nursing program and they take great pride in that. Be aware that the course load for this major is at university-level (minimum). Seriously, it is very aggressive but the job placement and license pass-rates are stellar. I enjoyed the faculty at this campus, especially in math. I took business classes too, and most of those instructors were super friendly and easy to follow. Best of luck to your future education, this is not the easiest community college but I think it is absolutely worth it! 🙂Ashlee Jana

It was great! My son and I went there today to get him settled in, prior to classes starting on the 19th. The campus is small. The grounds and buildings are in good upkeep. His dorm room was nice and fairly clean and he seems to have been blessed with a friendly roommate. In fact, all of the people we met thus far on campus were very personable. Other than the three and a half hours drive there and back the overall experience was great! I pray that my son is surrounded by only the best people who wish him no harm and will only help him along this path he chose to pursue his goals. Thank God we made it safely there, especially back, considering the storm we are having. God's Blessings to all of you.L Erkins

I highly recommend Fortis College. This college truly wants their students to succeed in all aspects. This college has helped me find a job while I was a student. They also work so very hard to get you prepared and employed upon completion of the program. That alone is a huge relief on any student. Every single instructor that I had, truly made an impact and were always willing to go the extra mile. I also wanted to recognize 2 special individuals who helped me along my journey as a Dental Assistant student. Both Mrs.Peterson and Ms.Green have truly been phenomenal throughout my course of being a student. They truly take their time to allow their students to understand step by step what they are learning. I can assure you I asked numerous questions and they patiently helped assist until I understood. Not only are they excellent instructors (Mrs.Peterson Director too), they took the time to get to know us individually and even listened to our worries and even issues that we faced outside of class. They both have kept me level headed when I made mistakes and also made learning fun. Overall, I am grateful for my experience at Fortis College. I am happy to also include that all the hard work and support from the school has helped me obtain my Diploma in the Dental Assistant Program. And I will be continuing my education at Fortis as a Dental Hygiene student. Thank you Fortis!Kadeja Graham

My journey to success was greatly influenced by the countless opportunities I experienced at Fortis. I was seen, heard, and supported daily by the Fortis Family. I felt like a winner every time I walked through the door. I saw the faculty and staff be heavily involved in each student's success. I witnessed my campus President and Dean of Education work with students directly and get involved in every aspect of student matriculation. I am a dental hygiene student that soaked up every opportunity Fortis offered. I was fully supported by my Program Director and instructors. They understood my passion and assisted with every aspect of my dream. No institution in the world is perfect, but the way my school navigated the unsure waters of COVID blew me away. It is not what happens that defines you, but your choice in how you deal with life’s challenges that defines you. Fortis is a fortress guarded by professionalism, accountability, communication, and teamwork! I am beyond grateful for my 2.5-year experience here. It is an honor to soon be recognized as a Fortis College – Smyrna Alumni! I chose Fortis and what it stands for. As a future student, don't stop at acceptance. Go beyond and seek involvement. Here, you dream, you believe, and you achieve. Live your dream and let Fortis be your avenue for success!Charlotte Hall

My experience at fortis has been more than amazing . With such a beautiful and welcoming staff I just had to write a view . A special shout out to some of my most memorable instructors, Ms. Forte for always making sure we buckled down on what we learned and creating such a fun atmosphere during lab, Ms. Jowers for being my first instructor and making class such a fun learning style and giving us open discussions and Mrs. Turner for always being their for the students weather it was about school or not about school. Thank fortis for hiring such great instructors 👍Lily Sangare

My overall experience with Fortis educational wise was wonderful, my admission rep was very nice and kept track with you, and career services always wanted the best for you. I really did enioy my time here a lot. I would recommend this school to anyone.Maiika Henley

May not be one of the more academically recognized institutions in the area, or anywhere, but Fortis faculty genuinely care about the success of their students. The classes are practical and all instruction you receive is geared toward success.Brittany Herrig

I had a great experience at Fortis College. The teachers really helped me learn and made sure I grasped the knowledge that I needed to excel in my field. Career services helped me a lot and made sure I was ready for my job.Mekaylah Harris

I want to thank Troy, Kelsey, and Andrew for an amazing experience! Troy was great and patient with me while I was trying to get my ducks in a row. Kelsey gave the class/refresher for me and did a great job, she made the class super cool and understanding and was able to show proper technique as well as tips and tricks! Andrew supervised Kelsey’s class and also did the refresher for the first aid. It was a fun and funny experience, I was nervous at first but they were all super nice and we’re able to calm my nerves. Super informative classes! 10/10 would recommend, they make me want to take more courses!Grace S

Katie, OJ, and the team provided a very educational and professional AHA ACLS course. As a retired military leader, I have a great appreciation for "train to standard, not to time". Although this phrase was never mentioned during the course, Katie (who appears to be well-experienced in emergency and pre-hospital care) was able to focus on areas we all needed the attention and less time on areas we were able to show proficiency. All-in-all, I highly recommend RC Health for your medical training needs.Gene Collins

Awesome place to go to go get certified for BLS. Been getting certified here the past six years, all my company staff gets certified here. The staff here is great, pricing is great. You are in and out within 15 minutes and get your certificate within and hour. Andrew was our instructor for the day, was great, answered all questions we had. Will continue to use them in the future.Angel Castruita

So so many reasons I would suggest against going here. Private school only out for money. You use the same books for most classes yet you are charged for books every term. Instructors are about half and half. Some are ghetto and unprofessional, others are trying to teach you what you will be doing on the job, and others only want you to do things the way they do them as if it's the only right way. Extern sites are horrible. Once you graduate good luck getting a job unless you were lucky enough to get one on your own. My extern site wasn't hiring so after finishing my hours about a month later the school helped set me up with a job making a whole dollar an hour more than I was making while in school for a job an hour away from me. Job also had nothing to do with my field. Had to move out of state and get a job in a factory. Still not having ANY luck getting a job in my field as most employers require experience. Frustrated doesn't even begin to explain how I feel owing student loans for pieces of paper I can't use.Sherra Randall

I’d give zero stars if I could. This school’s electrical program is a joke. Teachers don’t even show up for class, in the 9 months I attended not ONCE did I receive a lesson. Not ONE. The lab was empty, no supplies to even work on anything. Spoke with the head of the trades, and his response on many occasions was “I agree entirely, this isn’t acceptable” yet not ONCE fixed anything. Then one of my teachers who never showed up for class decided to text me and ask if I was done with school…so he could hit on me. Disgusting. I wasted so many months doing homework and trying to learn the material myself, and so much of my hard earned money just to feel like I’ve been had in the end. This school is a scam, go find an apprenticeship and do it the right way. Be warned.Amanda Sensabaugh

I enjoyed my experience at Fortis, I was in the dental assistant program. I had been to another school and did a fast track program, which was not worth the money. With Fortis, not only did I get experience from the classroom, but was able to work in a dentist office for hands on experience with real patient's. As long as you do your work and be an adult you can be successful with your diploma or degree. I have been with the same place since I graduated in 2018 and I am the lead surgical assistant in a periodontal dental office. Also shout out to Mrs. Sturrock, she will bend over backwards for you to help you succeed. Respect is something that she will give you as long as it is given in return.Becky Johnson

I'm a new graduate of the CCMA program that Fortis offers . I also graduated from the Cosmetology school. I really enjoyed my experience both times . The instructors are awesome and are ready to teach you and get you ready for the field you are training for. The office staff is ready to answer any and all questions you have. The Career Services department is on point and stick with you all the way through from beginning to graduation and even after that to make sure you have placement in your new career. I hope everyone that thinks about going to Fortis of Mobile doesn't hesitate cause if so you will be missing out on a great opportunity. Hope you make the right choice like I did.Vitiated (Vitiated)

This school is SO unorganized! I went here for 1 year and the teachers were nice but i never fully LEARNED how to do anything until it was time for externs. My whole college experience was books that’s it! I was supposed too graduate early since I finished all my hours for externship but they kept making excuses “oh we aren’t in school this week”, “the dean is on pto right now so you’ll have to wait”, etc.! They say they will help with getting you an extern site and even make sure you learning this and that before they send you off but they don’t. Im now stuck paying off loans from a college who isn’t even worth the money. DO NOT RECOMMEND!!!supa girl

A money scheme ( pit) & very very messy ratchet hole in the wall shack.I made a very detailed comment I noticed it's gone so I shouldn't get in detail but I wish it was possible to give a – 0😑🙂 but browse more by typing in the School alone you will read allot of bad results from students not employees that juice the program and school up for pay😅 if you enjoy being over educated or overcharged for there gain and pockets go right head manipulated if you're not financial stable do not go burden stressful especially juggling your education alone with normal life activity in the midst of financial issuesAlex White

The amount of material we covered was tailored to the students needs, not rushed, and ensures comprehension. I was totally impressed with my instructor's experience as well as her ability to break the course down in an entry level language. So glad I decided to take this EMT course!Keith Williams

I had to get a cpr certification for my school program and I’m so glad I picked this instructor! The place was set up well. Also the instructor was beyond amazing! She was super nice and helpful. I definitely recommend this place if it provides the certification you need!Brittney Hammell

I really felt confident coming in when taking the BLS class here. The instructor made sure to answer all our questions and made sure we were comfortable with all the information.Harry Dorado

Herzing university is a nonprofit college and this is not the route to go. State and Community college are the best route to go very affordable. This school is not ACEN ACCREDITED. They will lie just to get you in because the worker get paid through your loans. I visit Birmingham campus and the Campus was the nasty, disgusting and the advisor are very unprofessional. I never seen an adviser dress in pant and a tshirt. Stay away from Tobias Roberts and Mrs Jackson they are unprofessional advisers. It don't even look like a college. I'm not pay 30000 for tuition.Ke Moving

I've been trying get enrolled for the last week and recieve info about the nursing program.. they call you from all these weird phone numbers and when you do answer the phone..I was told someone will contact me from the school well this whole ordeal has change my mind about attenting herzing college..Karen Bishop

Their Nursing program is NOT ACEN accredited and, tuition is expensive. Not to mention, their pass rate is TERRIBLE. Do not waste a dime on their Nursing program.NoPantiesOn

I had Wendy Dees for PreCal online. The WORST experience I’ve ever had with a teacher and course. She did not respond to emails, the whole online course was terribly dis-organized, we never knew what was going to be on the exams and it just felt like one big joke. The exams were harder than anything I’ve ever taken. (coming from a full time PreMed student at Auburn University on the Dean’s List continually)I thought I was the only one struggling so I reached out to my classmates online and literally EVERYONE was failing her exams, and majority of these people had completed their homework, gone to tutoring and emailed her just like I did. We all were struggling so bad and Wendy Dees did NOT care one bit. I still have PTSD from this experience. Seriously, my online class started with around 23 people and there were only 9 people left when I dropped the course. TERRIBLE!!!! Why would anyone want to take a course or classes through this Teacher/community college when they truly do not care if you pass or fail the course? I met with her and the Dean to try to find a resolution to this, and there was none. Ms. Dees covered every reason I presented with a sorry excuse. The Dean, who is supposed to act as a NEUTRAL person to resolve the issue, completely and utterly 100% took Wendy Dees side. The WHOLE time. Incredibly unprofessional. I emailed Wendy Dees to let her know that I was most likely going to drop the class to see if she had any last pieces of advice and never heard back from her. The whole experience was completely awful, I can’t stress it enough. DO NOT TAKE WENDY DEES AND DO NOT TAKE ANY CLASSES AT COASTAL ALABAMA IN MONROEVILLE! You will thank me later. They are a complete joke! They make things WAY more complicated and unfair than it needs to be. It’s a community college. Not Harvard. I’ve spoken to several Professors, students and my Advisor and they all agreed that this was a terrible experience and sounded like a joke.Parker McIlwain

I was invited to a graduation. I'm guessing those were ambassadors in the front greeting guest. They were very welcoming and friendly. The ceremony started at 10 am and ended in 30 minutes. That's what I call "in and out"Roxcanna Bradley

Campus is beautifully laid out. Just recently relocated and hope to get some CEU classes here locally, as opposed to a 50 plus mile commute.Chris Thomas

The course content is excellent and Professor Juddson is awesome. Being an online course, it was quite the surprise to see the level of response from Texas EMS School whenever I had a question or need. They were flexible and worked with me on getting my rotations completed. As long as you stay on track and meet the deadlines that are given you, the course goes by pretty quickly. Don't think for a minute that it's easy though. Be prepared to commit 3-4 hours per chapter and be challenged. I learned that the variables that present themselves with each case is unique and can have more than one solution. Learning to navigate through the physiology and pathophysiology to help the patient is very challenging and rewarding. If you are looking for an online EMT school that allows you to work and maintain a social/family life, this is what you are looking for.Kevin Murphree

I had a fantastic experience with Axon Education. Their program allows the student to complete assignments, quizes and tests on their own terms. The coursework is challenging and fun. The support from the professors is amazing. I was able to work ahead and finish the course sooner than expected. Yes, it's a difficult course if you don't put the effort into it. But they design the exams to be difficult so that the student is fully prepared to take the National Registry of EMT exam. I passed the NREMT on my first try, and it's due to the rigorous nature of the Axon Education course, and thanks to the professors who endured endless questions from me and always helped to ensure I fully understood the concepts. I couldn't be happier.Laura Mildon

This is an amazing school they have really made it possible for me to: 1.) continue my education. 2.) believe in myself again!!!! Prior to axon education I was a criminal justice major Double minor in psychology & child development At Tarleton State University I spent over $30k there unfortunately I jumped the gun and couldn’t afford everything I signed up for so ended up getting nothing. It just so crazy with the small amount of money it cost me to continue my education through axon education I’ll be able to change lives for the better and continue my Education even further into A-EMT and possibly even a Paramedic, with yalls continued support Thank the entire axon education team for everything y’all do!Donald Cohen

Pope and Crystal at Fort Worth were both awesome. Between the two of them, we got a lot of the “by the books” way of doing things, and the actual way things will play out while on the job. We got plenty of stories and lived scenarios from Pope that covered everything from patient treatment to self care, and Crystal hammered in solid strategies like PENMAN and GLXABCD that really helped with the medical and trauma assessments. Overall, much higher quality instruction and investment from our instructors than I expected for just three days. Would come back to learn from them any time.Alec Rigik

Many thanks for my instructor Mr. Kris’s Evert Silverio for his training for the PALS course yesterday 25 th May He is very Good in his teaching technique and made sure that trainees got the skills and knowledge especially with the new 2020 guidelines I thank him for his efforts and wish him to continue providing the same to healthcare team members. I strongly recommend him and will give a 5 star ⭐️ rating ThanksVenkataramana Garikiparthy

The instructor kept our attention with his quick WIT and HUMOR. Also, his verbal presentation style was well versed and easy to follow. He welcomed questions and discussions about any topic. He didn’t teach or present down to us, rather along side us as colleagues. I FULLY recommend courses with him as an instructor.Bryan Kelly

So grateful to have found this place! Rob did a great job making the class interactive and explaining. We did team drills a couple different times to practice each role. The place was super clean including the front desk, bathrooms, manikins etc. Overall, great experience and I will be coming back in a couple years to renew! I highly recommend this course to anyone needing to renew or get a new certification!Chanah Wolkow

I received my BLS – CPR training from Trio Safety. The experience was amazing. They have both hands on and video instructions. Our instructor Logan was not only friendly but also professional. He also used real life experience and stories to help understand the training concepts. We also had plenty of time and training to learn both individually and as a team. It’s a worthy investment for everyone.Ms. Julia Mwangi

I really was dreading the class but the instructor (Sam) was very knowledgeable and made the class interesting. He made sure each and everyone of understood what was being taught. I hate hands on training because of fear of doing something wrong but in his training class I felt comfortable and at ease. Great instructor and I look forward to the next one!Elizabeth Fleming

I went to Alabama, Fire college for a week long fire officer for class. The campus is immaculately, manicured, and very well-kept with zero trash and nothing out of place. The staff and instructors are very friendly and will make every effort to ensure that the student learns the materials that they need to know the better themselves and the fire service.Gray Young

I always enjoy the opportunity to visit one of the best training centers in the country. All their staff and instructors are top notch and the facilities are well maintained. I've had several opportunities to train their myself as well as having several of my students attend there after highschool.Randy Latner

One on the nicest training facilities in North America, second only to TEEX. The facility is 5 star the people are the nicest you will ever meet,was just a fantastic experience a round. Thank you Alabama staff, you guys rockSteve Serbic

I am a student at UCLA right now and was home over the summer so I decided to go to school in Vista, Ca for my CNA. I did my research and came across Healthcare Academy of California. I couldn’t have chose a better school or have had a better instructor. Lauren is so great, she explains everything very well and she cares about all of her students. Beyond being very knowledgeable, she is also very funny and has the best stories. You may have to go to school every morning very early for a few weeks but Lauren and all my classmates made it super fun and worth it. The ENTIRE class passed our exams and keep in touch with each other. I would certainly go back for a BLS (CPR/AED) course if they offer that in the future. Thank you so much Lauren and Healthcare Academy of California. I highly recommend them and any reviews that say otherwise are from people that aren’t willing to do the work. If you are dedicated and want to get your CNA fast with a great instructor , this is the place for you.Ariana Sardano

10/10 I highly recommend taking this course!!! Lulu (Ms. Lauren) is superwoman. Lulu is the absolute best. She is so hands on and makes the course fly by; too fast in my opinion. From day one she makes everyone feel comfortable and worry free! You can count on Ms. Lauren for about anything- which is why she deserves her nick-name. For anyone taking this class my best advice would be: be yourself and don't be late 🙂 Everyone in my class passed 🙂 The administration is awesome!! They are the sweetest! Chuck (EMT instructor) — thank you for your delicious breakfast burritos! Whoever takes either of these courses are very lucky to have either of these instructors! They're truly the best. Thank you Healthcare Academy for having such a good environment and experience!Julia Walsh

I had the best experience here at healthcare academy, I have now finished my cna course with Ms.Lauren. This has been the best class I have attended, she's such a outgoing teacher. Making the class interesting and fun. Definitely didn't feel like school, all our girls ended up being really good friends. I am definitely going to miss this class. Ms.Lauren prepared us so well for out state exam, I'm sure we all did great! If she were to teache other programs I would probably sign up again. Thank you Ms.Lauren, I'm going to miss this class!❤❤Arleth D.

There needs to be alternating pathways for the nursing admission program. Many technical colleges and community colleges are accepting TEAS, HESI A2, and Accuplacer scores as another option besides ACT score of 18 because many students are graduating with post-secondary degrees in another healthcare field and returning back to local community colleges and technical due to a very competitive job market. I am post- secondary graduate myself in another healthcare field with Associate of Applied Science Degrees in Medical Office Technology and Medical Billing & Coding Technology and Bachelor of Business Administration concentration in Healthcare Administration, but I have to complete additional training in Pharmacy Technician or Medical Assistant because I do not have any employment history. The ACT test is outdated. There needs to be a part-time nursing program as evening or weekend classes for working and long distance students.Tropical Ascendant Aries 12th House

Yeah, many people said that online system is terrible. I partially agree with that, i was also someone who try ing to make an enrollment on online. And I was also suffered by SUSCC online system. So, i decide to make an appointment in-person, And in SUSCC on Opelika, Joseph Halsey, who is the kindest person in SUSCC Opelika, helped me and my father to understand all about enrollment and make my appointment about accuplacer test, and in-person meeting. He is the best person who can help you to make an enrollment in SUSCC. If you want to make an enrollment in SUSCC, meet Joseph Halsey. I am not a company of him, I am just a person who is helped by him. You can make an appointment asap with him, SUSCC Opelika have to give extra money for his kindness. I have a nice experience with him! Thank you Joseph Halsey!!Joseph Lee

My experience was TERRIBLE HERE. Getting them to send transcripts, setting up financial aid, or anything that requires work, takes them FOREVER. They do everything last minute. If You call and ask for assistance one person will tell you to do one thing and another person will tell you something different. I almost couldn’t even start school back to back years because of them. Unless you plan on having to call, email, and go up there and harass them, nothing will be done and you’ll be stuck having to go to school the next semester & they’ll have no sympathy about that happening to you either.Joshua Griffin

College Cafe and Coffee bar inside the college is a cozy little spot within the College. Run by Amy Aldana and and her friendly staff. Students often go there to relax and study. Cafe is also open to the public when the College is in session. Wonderful food!Jody Gibbs
