20 Best G.E.D Programs In Fresno, CA (2022 Updated)

I've been attending FCC since summer of 2016 and will graduate, god willing, this spring 2019. Full time, year round, no breaks. Although parking requires at least an hour grace period, I believe the over all experience is what you make it. I've come across rude people maybe having a bad day and I've had instructors I could not relate to. Its all very frustrating. Its sad to say the success rate at this college is 17%. But, then again this is an adult school. Nobodies going to call your house when your absent or hold a parent-teacher conference when your not doing your work. I am working on a Human Service degree and have enjoyed the ups and downs of my classes. The load was a little heavier in a few and I had to buckle down and utilize the tutorial, ETC, PASS, Computer lab and all other resources available. In all the those places I found the staff and student help extremely eager to be of service. The assistance was much appreciated. Honestly, I don't think I could of got through math without it!Philip Tristan

I am not speaking for this business itself, merely the college district's education quality. I have taken classes at Fresno, Clovis, and Reedley Community College, and I have had an absolutely deplorable time. I don't feel like I'm getting anything from the classes; I don't feel the staff is prepared to teach online, if at all. If you are going to teach college-level English, you should not make punctuation and grammatical errors consistently. If you are teaching a law class, you should not do it from inherent bias and perspective. If you are conducting an online course, you should not have to hold up a piece of paper because you don't know how to make a slide. An absolute and utter waste of my time and money, I am so glad I got the nerve to go back to school; now I will find somewhere to teach me, educate me, and get me further in life.Mercedes Scott

Good college for students to get their AA degrees and this college has cheap tuition. Professors and management are also good and you can also transfer to a university after 2 years. It is said that Fresno City College is the first Community College in California. Registration to classes is simple and online, and they offer all kind of classes. It is better if you choose Nursing as a career because it pays off well. Check it out your self.boss Bhai

If anyone is looking into the medical assistant field please do yourself a favor and look at the pay rate and how much it costs to attend this horrible program. Program costs about 30k and MA barely make that yearly, you can go to a community college for about the same time and get paid to go. I cannot wait for SJVC to get sued for taking advantage of vulnerable people, giving false promises to students of a career in medical assistant, you will not be able to live on that type of low income. You have a better opportunity making more money at Target, most of my credits did not transfer even though I was told they would so I wasted my time. I had to retake most of my classes which I did in about the same time as I was at sjvc and will be applying to the nursing program. This is a horrible schoolJammy Jam

An amazing institution Went here as a student from Feb 2019 until graduation Oct 2019. I was enrolled in the front office medical admin program. 7 months and upon graduation, I passed and got nationally certified for billing/coding. My teacher Ms.Hernandez was amazing, caring and knowledgeable. The school and its staff went above and beyond for me (I was unemployed at the time) and now I am employed and have actual hope for my future. It taught me a variety of skills that applied in many jobs for medical assistants. The bad? It won't teach you everything. It won't get you a Masters Degree and a six figure job. But that's not the point of this trade School. It's a start, a path to better prospects. It's made good on that so far =)Vince M

I had previously been accepted to a university, having experience payment issues (that school was wicked expensive) I found SJVC, they help me make a smooth transition from the other school to there and my time there was amazing. Meeting different people from different programs and other people who just didn't want the traditional school experience. I went for my certificate MOA program (took 7 months of class time and 2 months of externship time). Loved my teacher and classmates and learning was easy and I understood all the lessons. I even got on the dean's list after getting my certificate. My career counselor even helped me find my full time job. Have nothing but good to say about this school and mostly my teacher.Jessica Hamilton

I called the school recently asking about the new Make up course. I spoke with a young woman on the phone. She told me that she couldn't go over the schedule over the phone same with price. She invited me in to discuss the program and get my questions answered. I accepted the invite. When I went in she went over the entire programs requirements and what it takes to complete the class and get my license. We then went over scheduling. I'm super glad we didn't do it over the phone, it wouldn't have made sense. She laid out a schedule that she customized to work around my home and work schedules. When we got to the cost portion I found that it was very low. I've looked at a lot of schools and found them to be a lot more expensive. Add to it that they can help me even though I don't have a diploma and I'm totally sold. I can't wait to get started in class and get into my new career. Thanks Federico College.Jen

Oh my goodness. I would’ve given 5 stars if not for the pedicure. I’m not here to make a complaint on that… just was a very very new kid, who didn’t do the best job, but he’s learning. So good for him. But my hair… wow!!! I love it. A very nice girl, Gabby, who is as assisted by her co-student did a terrific job. It was a bit funny, as she spoke very little English and I speak even less Spanish. And I usually have a hard time explaining what I think my hair needs. So I was looking for what I call high lights and low lights., thinking I would be getting streaks. I wound up getting a more complete hair color. A bit more blond than I was expecting. But she did a beautiful job. I absolutely love it. It’s as if she knew exactly what I needed. And she gave it to me. She was so gentle and styled it beautifully. I know she’ll go far in her career.Crystal Flowers

I had the best experience. Shayla did my mom and I eyebrows. She did a great job she was so nice with everything. And my mom and I loved her work. Kenya did my sister eyebrows and she did an amazing job as well. Candace was so sweet too she the one who was in charge of everything. Everyone at the college was just so nice and welcoming we just had a blast there. And we are now only coming to this college to get our waxing done.Mandi Pacheco

DO NOT SEND YOUR CHILDREN HERE! ON AUGUST 18 2021 This schools staff lost my special needs sister on a class outing/field-trip in the first week of school!!!! They were at Foodmax on Barstow and Blackstone buying groceries for their activity the next day at school. There were 18 students and STAFF. They DO NOT watch and take good care of their students!! My special needs sister walked out of the store BY HERSELF!!!! SHE WAS LOST FOR 3 HOURS!!!!! The staff tried searching for her on their own, THEY DID NO CALL THE POLICE TO REPORT THIS AT RISK MISSING CHILD!!!!! After about 20 minutes of her being lost they finally contacted my sisters parents letting them know they lost her at the field trip at foodmax. We get there about 15 minutes after. My sister was lost for about 35 minutes and the STAFF HAD NOT EVEN CALLED THE POLICE TO REPORT THIS AT RISK MISSING CHILD!!!!! Three long hard hours went by and Fresno PD after sending amber alerts, sending missing at risks reports to various outlets. Finally found my sister ALL THE WAY DOWNTOWN IN FRONT OF THE COURT HOUSE AT A BUS STOP!!!!!!!!!! The administration at this school did not take this as a major incident which it was. All they said was sorry but that is just NOT enough. Nothing happened to the 3 staff, the complaint with the district did NOTHING. The school is stating that since this incident happened OFF SCHOOL GROUNDS THEY DO NOT HAVE TO TELL OR NOTIFY ANY STUDENTS & THEIR PARENTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Are you kidding me?!!!!!!!! We are so upset!!! Thank God my sister was found safe!!!!! There are so many bad people and so many bad things that could have happened to her!!!!!!!! This school needs to be shut down, the staff is NOT CAPABLE OF TAKING CARE OF SPECIAL NEEDS CHILDREN!!!!!Gem Maldonado

I have worked with many schools in the Fresno Unified School District over the past several years. I have been an educator for 14 years. My experience with the adult transition program on Fairmont Avenue in Fresno California has been stellar. The staff and students have an incredible rapport with one another. It is as if a family of Educators have found each other. It is evident that our staff and teachers have a passion for training students how to be thrivers in a community where severe disabilities and moderate disabilities are often not understood or received well. We teach our students how to find access in public work places where they are accepted and become successful. I'm grateful to be a part of this incredible program and I plan on retiring here.Charlie Orta

I came to this school and it is constantly changing. Especially with the pandemic slowly bringing things back. They are remodeling plenty and the campus is beautiful and very spread out. You can enjoy the little critters and plenty of flowers and trees to stare at. This school has plenty of history and beautiful views. Wether you came to this school or want to come to this school, it is definitely in a great centralized location with plenty of amenities both on and off campus. Bulldog born, Bulldog bread 🐾Felipe

I had an excellent experience as an undergraduate at Fresno State. I was an agriculture-based major, and had several invaluable opportunities for hands-on experience provided for me during my time at the university. Like most things, I could go through and nitpick every issue I had, but my overall reflection on the university is positive, so I'll abstain. The short of it is: if Fresno State has your desired major, it is a school well worth considering.Collin Parker

It was very nice. But I think the parking lot should be bigger. But we all had a great time we got chance to see my nephew don't play that bad I had an accident after you again or I'm someone hit my car from behind but other than that it was a great time don't have heads just everything is coolFrances

I currently attend this school and I’ve had nothing but positive things happen to me. I have one teacher (Shout out to Mr. Tostado aka Mr. T) who has been incredible and I know have him for the 3rd semester in a row. I have two more semesters before I graduate and I’m so excited to be the first one in my family to graduate college. So I think a lot of the reviews are just from disgruntled students who didn’t have a good experience. Everyone’s experiences are different. I love this school and couldn’t imagine going somewhere different.Chelsey Hayes

Out of all the community colleges that I've been too. Don't waste your time here. You're better going to Reedley or Fresno city. The front desk staff is very rude whether they're directing your call or answering your questions. Admissions and Records staff give yes and no answers when it comes to questions. They don't take the time to explain to students the reasoning behind anticancer forms. You're better off driving farther to actually be treated like a human being than going to this community college because it is closer.Amy Keovilai

I completed my associate's degree here, with other previous classes at Fresno City. I had a wonderful experience at Clovis. The lowest level of education from instructors was masters degree, the rest were either PHD or MD. All professors were great and willing to do whatever it takes to get you to be successful in their classes. But, this is college so they will not just hand you the answers and pass you, you must do the work.tim lane

Very unprofessional people working here. They don’t know how to communicate and have a lack of costumer service skills. The African American male who helped me at the front desk of the HR hiring even today at the School district was not focused. Was helping me with no confidence of what he was doing and didn’t speak up well. I could hardly understand him. I believe in those jobs you need to be very confident and speak clearly to the public as you are helping them out. I didn’t get this from him. Also the lady who was doing the finger prints was pressing so hard on my finger that she was hurting me. I told to sanitize the machine where I was putting my fingers because she didn’t. And the machine was not accepting my finger prints because the machine was dirty I had sanitized my hands already. She was hurting my finger cause she was so lazy to sanitize the machine. That is unbelievable and unacceptable. You guys should check on that. I had a horrible experience with these two people.Van Gonzalez

I enrolled and passed the CNA program. Mrs. Senatin LVN, Mrs. Gulshan RN and Mrs. Newell NP are absolutely the best! You will have the best and professional training. Their hearts belong to healthcare and they pass it along to you. Their compassion for people will be passed on to you. Not no half fast, it's fine will be provided. The way healthcare should be is the way it will be taught to you. I definitely recommend Fresno Adult School. Friendly environment and engaging with students. Thank you Fresno Adult school staff you guys are ALL truly amazing!Monica Flores

Fresno Adult School is a great establishment that really helps the community and those adults and need that want to further their education or catch up. Did Administration is pretty slow but their prices are fair and reasonable. They have a great facility but honestly there is nothing weird smell to it, like an old smell that doesn't go away. They always have certificates that vary from 8 weeks to 10 weeks or even a year but it just depends what you want to go for. Give them a call and get your information for an orientation.Felipe

I took a class here for the first time and really enjoyed myself I took a quilting class and made a lot of new friends that love to do what I do and that’s quilting the teacher was very knowledgeable and made me feel right in. With being disabled and wheelchair bound Shannon made everything comfortable for me from lowering the ironing board to giving me a certain place to setup that was closer to items I would be using . I learned a lot more too. Everyone in the class was fun to be with. Thank you Shannon. Kudos to the young man Mark the custodian that helped me from getting my wheelchair out of the car to helping me with my sewing machine to class and again being there st the time class ended to help me again. 💯 Kudos to him. I hope to take more class in the future but with me living in Hanford it is costly. So I might take a break but will return.Patricia Martinez

Clovis Rec has a great baseball program my son loves! We have meet many new friends and other mommy's that have the same interests as us!Tanya

Came to take scheduled G.E.D. test, internet was down 😑😑. Ruined my plans. Now I have to wait another week. Hopefully it works by then.Mike H

Great venue. My dance group just performed here and it was great. From every seat in the house the view iof the stage is EXCELLENT. The dressing rooms were adequate. My only complaint was that the bathrooms in the dressing room area were not replenished with toilet paper as it should have been. But other than that it was a great venue. I observed that the sound/tech staff was very helpful when our group had technical issues. EXCELLENT EXPERIENCE at this venue.Dottie Jones

This theater is very nice. Seats are comfortable and there is good leg room. Parking is on campus. We attended on Memorial Day so there were no classes and tons of parking. Parking restrictions are not enforced on holidays, so we didn't pay to park. The ladies restroom was very small. Only three stalls for the whole theater! There was a long line at intermission. That's why only four stars.Belinda Smith

I'd never been to this theater before. It is quaint, cozy, had a great sound, and the seating was close enough to see the facial expressions of the actors. Parking was free because it was a weekend event, which was a plus. It was easy to find on campus, the ladies bathroom was clean, and seats were comfortable.Toni M

They are very nice and helpful. They had a food drive and even though it didn't start on time it was fast and efficient. Everyone went out of there way to help. Even if u don't have a car to get in line they still found a way to help u.G D

Very respectful an kind even tho the person i meet had no idea what i ask he made it his goal gather all the information i needed an made sure i left with more knowledgeraul breceda

The Valley Dream Center is such a wonderful place. They're providing our community with much needed tools and learning opportunities for successBEK

I'll Never go back , had the most miserable time of my life there , the teachers and students are a bunch of fake ass ppl! Couldn't really learn nothing because of the personal harassment.Jerry Navarro

Great place I'm taking the manufacturing mechanic class and the instructor Dale is an amazing instructor wish I had 2 more hand to give them a 4 thumbs upRudy Andrade

Sad I was there fifteen early like they told me to be.I wait 25 min.before somebody showed his.I also knocked on the door three different times no answer.Arthur Chavez

TFC is the hub of synergistic, diversity and inclusion, where everyone's welcomed despite ethnicity, gender or race, etc., etc., etc. I found their people inspiring, empowering and fostering to bring out the best in everyone, whether you are clients, employees and/or community leaders. There's no place like home, but I found this place and their people a home to me. I know the agency since conception 30+ years, and it's only getting better, especially under Mr. Pao Yang's leadership, it's a 180 degree improvements. If anyone has any reservation, please, do give yourself a chance to get to know Mr. Pao Yang. Mr. Yang is the 21st Century leader, embodies transformation, empowerment and instilling the hopes and aspirations everyone will be pleased and proud to be part of, just get to know him as well as his people – "THE LIGHT TO THE WORLD."Kong Cha

These people don't even care about others at all! One worker name Pahoua that always come to my home to assist my parents and even when I reported how abusive my father was toward my siblings she didn't believe it at all. She even questioned me why I will call the cops on my father? What kind of question is that? I told you already. Also I spoke to Susan at their office and she told me that everyone's perspective how they view situations is different. These people are mandated reporters but don't even care if children or wives get abused at all. These people think its okay! They should be fired.zoua lor

I visited their new Adult Day Care Facility today. I'm familiar with several ADHC in Fresno. This one is not only by far the most professional but also the most beautiful decor and equipment I've seen. I was very impressed – highly recommended.Elsabe Kruger (Ouma Elsabe)

I really did go to the best high school ever. I visited each teacher yesterday & I actually felt that everyone was excited to see me & was proud of how much I've matured. Every one of my mentors asked about my daughter, sister, niece, daughter's father, & expressed how much they want me to further my education because "I'm much too smart not to go to college".. I almost want to cry because they seem like they believe in me more than my parents at times. Certain teachers consider my daughter as their grandchild. You can see that a majority of the staff will actually grow to love you & treat you as familymichael jackson

So far so good my husband and i fell on hard times so I have to go back to work we are really pleased with the greeting at the door when we drop off and pick up our daughter. Our daughter now doesn't even turn to cling when I drop her off so I know she is enjoying herself and this makes me so happy. While I hope to get to return as a stay at home mom I will pass on all the goodness we enjoy hereHolly Barnes

This school is the best school that my son could of ever been too he love it and miss all the staff there I would hi Glattly recommend this school to every single teenager that things they cannot I shave their goals my son now has graduated last year and I am so happy he made the Best choice in his life Than You So Much Staff May God Bless Each And Every Single One Of You Guy ❤️❤️ivonne manriquez

Great school, staff and teachers are so friendly and really care about you! My teacher Mrs. Perez was amazing! Even though she was always busy and stressed out she would still stop what she's doing to help you without ever getting irritated. Love this school!Denise

I was sick and had to cancel my interview for the CNA program. When I called the next day to reschedule they told me I was blocked from the program because I didn't show up even though I called the day before cancelling it. Lady was very rude and offered no solution or owned up to how unfair the situation was due to her inability to judge it.Brandon Donohue
