20 Best Lpn Programs In Colorado Springs, CO (2022 Updated)

ACC is the best Community College in Colorado period. A large fraction of the teachers employed here are ex-Ivy League professors. My intro to business teacher was a top business professor at Clemson University. Most professors have PhD’s as opposed to a master’s degree. The grading process is very fair and these professors really care about your education and will go above and beyond to see that you succeed, granted you actually seek the help this is college people the teachers most likely aren’t going to come to you. There are so many different resources, including, but not limited too: Free tutors who are amazing ( in my opinion better than if you hired one), teachers who actually care about your future and present situations, book store/school supplies store on campus, a cafe with Caribou coffee, a milkshake machine and other great snacks, there are plenty of different areas to do school work or study that are very comfortable and convenient, they have hundreds if not thousands of majors and minors to choose from you want it, they’ve got it and so much more. Arapahoe Community College is by far the greatest her in Colorado. It is not overly priced the tuition rates are so great basically you can receive an Ivy League education for 10-15k per year. It’s an amazing way to save money especially when you are planning to go to a big university. Better to spend 10-15k on required pre- requisite classes, AKA GenEd rather than 25-75k. And since ACC has such amazingly qualified professors you won’t be behind , or unable to transfer successfully to a 4-year university, you will be able to make a smooth transition. Go to Arapahoe Community College; it’s for your own good. Thanks you won’t regret it😄 Dylan F currently enrolled studenDylan Fries

Veteran student here, all I can say is this school has been a waste of my benefits. The administration is aware that they are understaffed, busy, and stretched far too thin. Though nothing has changed not just with ACC but CCCS as well. There was a total of 4 semesters dealing with covid and distance learning, and there was no change in how it felt to learn from Spring 2020 till this past Spring 21. Four semesters with no change in how classes are taught, how students are engaged, how professors make sure that you are understanding the information, the list goes on and on. I had given up in most of my classes that I took here. I have felt everything but motivation, and determination to want to participate and study. The course I am studied in was faulty and dated. The introductory class alone is dated and will not prepare you for what it is to be an interior designer let alone give an actual representation of the work done in the field. I didn't learn to sketch, read floor plans, study the design process, bubble charts, box charts. I LEARNED HOW TO DECORATE. It was also very clear that if you wanted to decorate and only decorate you would do well in this program. I can’t believe how much this organization has failed its students and faculty. Save your scholarships, grants, and VA benefits and go else were.David Pratt

I’m seriously contemplating whether I to stop attending ACC. It doesn’t make since that online classes cost $100 extra per credit when a professor has you read chapters, and answer the chapter questions and do a weekly discussion question. There was no feedback to where I could know if I was grasping the concepts. I’d rather research what books each class provides and read them on my own then Pay $900 to a teacher that doesn’t communicate with us at all. On top of that, I experienced a micro-aggression during my final presentation where my professor asked if my business sold burritos because we were a Latino museum… This school needs to work with educating their teachers to learn how to treat their diverse students with respect and dignity. I was really excited to jump back into school. I had an entire plan but now I may just revise it and not include anymore investment at ACC.Victoria Gonzalez

Before intellitec i had no clue what i wanted to do with my future. I was kind of just floating around not taking anything seriously. Then when i found my passion for the medical field i had a really hard time figuring out where to start. Intellitec gave me and opportunity of a lifetime. Not only did this experience teach me to adapt to unfamiliar circumstances, it showed me that even when u think there isn’t a way, there always is. Along my journey at intellitec i met some of the most warm hearted people who have nothing but your best interests in mind. Mr. Roby, one of the instructors, creates a comfortable atmosphere that keeps his students engaged. Miss Davis, former student and now instructor, has zero issue with breaking a subject down one step at a time at a pace you are comfortable with. Mr. Thorn, our lab instructor, is very informative and allows u to branch off so that you can become more familiar with the craft. Last but not least, Miss Lo, intellitec’s instructor and extern coordinator, is someone you can ALWAYS go to no matter the problem. She’s not only your shoulder to cry on when you need one but she’s also someone with the most remarkable networking skills. Miss Lo. got me an interview for a job outside of school in ONE 5 MINUTE PHONE CALL and because of her i am now currently employed at the location i externed at. Her number is definitely one you should have. Overall Intellitec has done nothing but provide me with a second family. Anyone who is interested shouldn’t hesitate a second ! *the photo is my new family at the QwikCareMd office*ANGEL AVINA

I just wanted to give a positive shout out to the teacher of CCR:100. Until recently, I didn't know how this psychology class would be applicable to the real world. Rest assured, it is. I won't mention the name of the restaurant, but there is currently a GM that has enjoys screaming at employees in front of customers, all day. You are rushed through training and at times purposely trained wrong. With this class I was able to professionally express to the GM how this coercive behavior is not okay to do in front of a customer. I was able to point out flaws in management skills professionally, which in the long run has saved my record. The GM used nothing but unprofessionalism and excuses throughout each email proving strong signs of weak leadership skills. These emails include insults and calling me a liar. there was no professionalism, whatsoever. This particular class gives students the strength, courage, and applicable skills to improve the workplace, to find the right work environment, and essentially teaches you a form of management that is a business psychology applicable when you need it most. Thanks Mr. GRonald Lucier

Current HVAC student and very pleased with my education so far. The teachers care about not only my education but my goals and path moving forward. I was having a tough time getting employers to notice me and take my resume seriously. Until I asked Rob Gleghorn, the Career Services Manager, for help that is. He helped me sort out my resume, going above and beyond to make sure it was the best version I could present. I started getting calls from employers the next day. I instantly went from hoping to land an interview to trying to figure out how to choose from the best option. I feel IntelliTec is more than just a school, it's a career builder. The teachers are knowledgeable in their field and always willing to spend extra time going over subject matter that I have questions about. The faculty members have a way of making me feel proud of my direction and accomplishments.Geoff Brown

Terrible school. They charge you an absurd amount for supplies after you've paid for classes and do not disclose it will be a charged item (Or that you will be kicked out of the class and your seat given to another person if you do not pay. You know, the class you already paid for and got in?). Not only that, this is a second job for most teachers, so good luck finding one that actually has enough energy or fs to give to teach a night or afternoon classes. Dont forget that they like to cut class lengths in half (Semester to a quarter), double the amount of time in class (from 2-4 hours), not inform anyone in the class of this AND move the location of where the class is supposed to be last minute to another campus. Oh! And let's stack on more homework than a someone taking a doctorate because the teachers figured that using an online program will make it so they only need to sit around, and they dont care enough to have the class there for the entire 4 hours. DO NOT GO HERE. GO LITERALLY TO ANY OTHER SCHOOL IN THE STATE KIDS. It's a bigger cash grab than a pyramid scheme. Only reason youd ever take a CMC class is for an AP Highschool class. I cannot stress that youd have more fun waisting your money on yourself over this absolute joke of a school.Carlton Phelps

This is my second semester at CMC. I really love the teachers and the price!! I would recommend anyone to attend here, especially if you are an in-district student. It's very affordable! I have found the teachers to be amazing. All of my teachers have been very engaging and interested in helping me succeed in my career goals. I would say there is only one downside that I have encountered and that is lack of flexibility in scheduling. I needed very specific classes, and they all seemed to be scheduled on top of each other. This led me to a stretched out schedule and lots of miles traveled (& wasted time) to other campuses to get in the classes I need. But I made it work and for the price and amazing professors, I am very happy that I was able to make it work. CMC has been great!!Amy Kovach

Colorado Mountain College (CMC) is an accredited two-year and four-year institution with eleven college campuses serving 12,000 square miles in Western Colorado, United States. Founded in 1965, the institution grants more than 120 bachelor's degrees, associate degrees, and certificates, in a wide range of fields from Digital Media to Ski Area Operations. Approximately 20,000 students take on-campus or online classes every year, with a college-wide ratio of thirteen students to each teacher.Badr A

The school is by far the worst I've ever been to. Started off fall of 2021 with accomodation for disability. My FAFSA was submitted incorrectly edited twice by the admin, one who had not a clue what was going on, my advisor starting off was late for appts and didn't even tell me the half of how to do anything on campus much less how to get around on the website, he assumed many things that I knew as well. Come time to start the semester and only 1 professor of 4 submits books to the library and the library doesn't have all of them. So I order them and by the time week 4 starts everything is just getting settled. Fast forward to spring, once again no submissions of text books by any professors. Due to my disability accomodations, I'm supposed to submit receipts for my books 4-6weeks out, hard to do this when professors aren't submitting. Had a death in the family and then covid twice and was told the same thing every other student was told and the office of the president told me to go back to the dsrc and to get new accomodations. These accomodations were originally set by the dsrc and were determined to be reasonable. This administration is clearly not equipped to handle most things and offers no recourse for students. Along with this CSU-Pueblo supports the discrimination of disabled students and even allows it within the Hassan School of Business. If you can, attend another school near Pueblo like UCCS, etc..Timothy Fleenor

Graduated from this college in 2016. Program was not an issue at the time and professors ranged from good to decent. However, cost was outrageous. I paid out of state tuition even though I had a Colorado physical address due to living with a parent, but my license was out of state. So I paid double cause of my driver's license. And like one reviewer has stated, degree does not equal experience; so no one will hire me in my career field because I have zero experience in the field, despite meeting the degree qualifications…. even for entry level positions. Waste of money. Don't attend college, get the experience in your career path first. You'll get farther than spending thousands on book knowledge you can learn on your own.Katie

Very rude staff members. I'm still new at school and when I ask could I use the library was told I wasn't allowed because I was only enrolled into 9 credit hrs. Then dealing with Teresa from the bookstore very rude. I bought brand new books for almost $500 and was told they only would offer me $30 for my $253 book that they resale at $190 used. When asking questions she got real rude and belittling making me feel stupid because I wanted to ask questions. This school has not made it easy still being a fresh student who has no idea how this works. Very rude and misleading!!!!!! Wish i could cancel every penny I spent and transfer!!! I will not be spending anymore money at this school and will transfer next semester!!!!!!!Jason Clark

I loved this college, compared to a university I saved a TON of money, and I have had nothing but amazing experiences with staff and faculty. They went above and beyond to help me and make sure that I was taking the correct classes for what I wanted to do and that all my credits would transfer. The professors are dedicated to helping the students that want to be helped, just like any school there are the students who don't care and don't put in the effort. It is your money so you are responsible for showing up and doing the work, but as long as you do your professors will be there to help. The campus is also pretty and well maintained.Sarah Reinick

I went to college here for welding and i have to say it was the best schooling experience i have ever had in my life the teachers actually care and are real. They really want to help you and make sure you achive. My welding instructor is a great man and i Larned alot from him. Pls as a place you are curious about having your child attend i recommend it highly.Hayden Jungemann (Iron Tank)

Good little community college. Attended myself and currently have a daughter there. Financial aid was easy to apply for and they explain everything fairly well. Class sizes were ok and instructors were laid back. Maybe a little too much! Lots of parking and a well laid out campus with constant police presence.Kerry Dougherty

I LOVE LOVE LOVE working at Pima in COS! After 30 years in general practice, I am so happy to share my experiences and make new memories with the students and staff. The students are so amazing that I get sad when then leave! Many of them keep in touch and visit when they are nearby or in town. People that I meet in the veterinary field (and the human medical field for that matter) are excited to tell me all about the incredibly talented Vet Techs and Vet Assistant students that have landed at their location after attending Pima. They are asking me to KEEP THEM COMING!! The leadership is supportive and approachable. They make a great effort to celebrate and show appreciation for the students and the instructors throughout the year. A shout out during a staff meeting means a lot to those of us that are teaching every day! We are proud to be celebrating Pima Medical Instutitute's 50Th anniversary and kudos to the really popular, soft and comfortable 50th anniversary t-shirts. . .my evening students wear them EVERY casual Thursday night! Finally, when you work with a team that loves coming to work, everyone is supportive and willing to help each other. We always push each other to do better and make the learning environment fun to build a community. Shout out to all my students. . .love you guys and come by to say hello and let me know how you are doing!!!! Keep sharing your awesome stories and experiences with me. . .they make my day!Dr Mary Carr

I've spent a year and a half at Pima in the veterinary assistant and technician programs and I love it! The instructors are amazing and they do everything they can to help you succeed. I've gotten to work with animals I never thought I would go near and I've gained so much confidence from my experiences. I'm going to be sad when it ends but I'm thankful for the accelerated curriculum that fits my schedule.Aleska Oleksuk

I really enjoy coming to Pima! I genuinely felt like my life didn’t have a plan before. Now that I am on the Pharmacy Technician program, I feel like I have a sense of purpose again. The staff here is amazing, and Jenn really helped me in the enrollment process to get started as soon as possible. Ms.J is a great teacher!! I definitely recommend coming here if you’re trying to change your life.Rosalia Estanislao

They let me down big time, took forever to get my financial aid appointment, they slacked on helping me as a first time student and caused me to be bumped out of the esthetisian course for the second time and they put me on a waiting list again saying the course is now filled up. The advisors don't communicate well and didn't do enough to ensure that process would come together. So now after all of my hard work to get in school they won't own up to the fact that they failed and put it back on me. Excuse me but they get a pay check to ensure a first time student succeeds. No going the extra mile here nor connecting the dots. Your just SOL if you think they care.E Green

It is like pulling teeth to get ahold of ANYONE here. I've sent several emails and voicemails. When (and if) someone does finally respond, they leave a very undetailed email. I never get a phone call back. I live an hour away from the school so "dropping in" isn't really an option. I was willing to move closer to the school if I got into their LPN program, but stopping by to be able to talk to someone is just a bit out of the way… I don't want to drive all the way down there for a few simple questions…Aimee Whatley

I love this school I did not do good in school my girlfriend encouraged me to go back and get my G.E.D . Then told me we should do nurse assistant class at the college i love all the instructors they are super helpful and push me to keep going. Ms.B ,Amy ,Mr.Gillmore and Mrs. Walsh are the best also ms.washington also recommend to everyone.!jacob marrujo

I found that the staff and faculty were helpful and skilled. The professors are able to talk to students and are great instructors.The campus has a variety of higher education and skill pathways. There are classes for auto mechanics, park rangers, and much more. I got a fair amount of my credits from this school and more importantly it prepared me for advanced education.John T.L Hulstine

Hi well hello currently I am in the Medical assistant evening class, and my instructor Mr Juan has been the best instructor I have had so far. He has been teaching all classes Morning, afternoon and Evening, and yet despite him being here all day and me being the last class from 5pm to 10pm he never looses his enthusiasm. He has a strong passion to teach and he really does show us real world situations. He prepares us for the best and for the worst case scenarios since he has been in the medical field for 10 years, he shows us to always have respect and empathy for everyone. He radiates positivity and love, with every thing he does. He dedicates everything to being the best teacher he can be and it really shows how much he cares. Any time i'm having trouble with any work I know I can ask and he will explain everything a million times until I fully understand the subject. Thank you Mr Juan my JUABULOSO teacher for everything you do. you are so much appreciated by the whole class.But much appreciated by me. I really hope and wish you the best Mr Juan when we are not there no more. keep up the good work and keep it shinning bright as bright like a diamond.☺️cecilia adame

I loveeeeeeeeee instructor Prowat! I have always struggled with anatomy and physiology but until she become my instructor I have been able to pass and learn my content. She makes learning so much fun and structures her class to where I feel like I am learning my best. If you want to join the LPN program she will make sure you succeed in her class. Also instructor Woolf is such a kind sweet soul who makes sure you are learning her context and does the above and beyond to stay with you after school to explain things to youGiselle Hermosill Padilla

I am currently enrolled at Pima, and the last couple months have been amazing. I’m in the Dental Assistant program and my instructor, Tanya Elespuru, has taught me more than I ever thought I would know. She’s an amazing instructor, and overall great person. For sure one of the best people that I have ever met, and I’m so glad to have her as an instructor at this campus. If you’re interested in becoming a DA, then this is the school for you! 10/10 school, and 100/10 instructor!Cynthia Razo Lopez

I enrolled in their cosmetology program and what a mess! In the classroom during term two I missed so much important information and when I went to the teacher for help I was just told it's ok you don't understand this you will learn more out on the floor. I pretty much felt like I had to teach myself. Once I got out to the floor things got even worse. The school has a VERY small regular clientele so if you can't bring in your own clients you are going to be working on your manaquin head every day. When you work on your manaquin you can't use any product other than conditioner so you don't get experience with using the actual chemicals you should be learning to use. You also can't see the results of your work so you can't visually determine if you did a good job or not. If you do need help with something good luck finding an instructor to help you unless you are one of their favorites. Also if you aren't a favorite of the instructor out on the floor have fun being constantly being picked on for your appearance and everything else you do. Girls that the teacher favored could leave for lunch for two hours No problem and never had to make up time while other girls could step out for a five minute break and the entire time have an instructor breathing down their neck. They also didn't have to follow dress code and would be praised for how cute they look while girls wearing dress code appropriate attire would be told they can't wear that. Another problem the school has is they never have even the most basic supplies in stock such as nail glue and hair color. The cleanliness of the school could be improved on, no one was around to make sure proper sanitation was being practiced and I can tell you people get lazy there and skip over important sanitation. The pedicure stools had dead skin and toe nail clippings in them from 10 different clients half the time. Once you get out on the floor theory was in the back of the salon not in a class room and at the time I was there we had no white board or proper seating/tables. Theory was another time where the favorite students could do what ever they please and have no points taken off their grade but if the teacher didn't like you they could mark you down for not participating just because they felt like it. You don't actually learn anything in theory they had us playing games the whole time that were not effective and difficult for everyone to be included in. Girls spoke up about the ineffectiveness of the games and asked to do more immersive activities but their request were ignored. Sometimes during theory we would have clients still in chairs receiving services in the middle of us trying to have class. When I attended the school the air conditioniner was broken in the middle of summer and I never once saw anyone come work on it even though the school has an HVAC program. While I attended the school the AC was never fixed. One of the sinks had fallen off the wall in the bathroom and was never fixed. There was also a shampooing sink that leaked water through the wall on to the floor and instead of fixing it they just put towels down on the floor. I left the course in September and by the end of November I still had not received my withdrawal analysis so I called main campus multiple times to ask about it but no one was ever there that could help me so finally about a week later someone called me back and told me they had sent it out in September. I told her I never received it and told her I can come in and get it so this time it for sure gets to me. She reassured me that was not necessary and she will resend it then asked me what my address is ,after giving it to her she read back the address to confirm it was correct and it was. Now it's February and I still don't have my paper work. To top it off I have been receiving calls And bills from intellitec that I owe them almost $500 when my tuition was paid up front in full and I withdrew from the course before I was even halfway through it.Ireen H

I loved this school. I tried a traditional 4 year college several times, always dropping out for any reason I could think of. I just couldn't find justice in it. If I want to work in medicine why do I need to pay to learn medieval British history? I didn't make sense to me. So after years of "going no where" jobs, I finally decided to put my GI Bill to use and enrolled into IntelliTec colleges MA program. I'm so glad I did. Every class I took was a step towards a career that I wanted. After 18 months, I graduated with a state certification in medical assisting and phlebotomy. My credits couldn't be transferred to the local university here, but they do transfer to Colorado Christian University, so if I decide to further my education I can. While in school I learned a lot of skills that I wanted to incorporate into my career. I also set a goal to work either at an urgent care, or the VA hospital upon graduation. I ended up meeting my goal, getting hired at an urgent care practicing my skills. Going to IntelliTec really opened up many doors for me. I'm so glad I decided to go here. Now, I work in a field that will never go away and I no longer have a job…I have a career.Zach Hamilton

I graduated from this "college" in 2010. I would like to point out that the recruiters get paid commission. Because of this, I was told that i would be able to make $17/hr working as a medical assistant in a hospital once I graduated. When i did graduate, with a GPA of 3.8, all I was able to get was a job that paid $9/hr. When I moved out of state and tried to get a decent job, i was told that my degree wasn't any good because this school is NOT medically accredited. I was told the same thing when i tried to work in a hospital. I was out of my field for too long by the time i came back to Colorado that i couldn't get hired to be a medical assistant. In early 2016, I went to the Intellitec in Colorado Springs to try to get help getting back in my field, i was promised the ability to audit some classes and get help re-certifying. I have not been able to get anyone to call me/email me back now. Now i am paying back $20,000 in student loans for a career that i don't even get to have. Thanks, Intellitec for getting me to go into debt on a lie!Naomi Aneloski

Best ACLS renewal I've ever had. The center is conveniently located on Academy and is quit high tech. The owener operator Catherine is an amazing teacher who cares about her students and is passonate about having you truely learn in a NO STRESS ENVIRONMENT!! I would highly recommend for first time certifications. Will use her for all my classes in the future for sure.Jeff Sukach

One of the best agencies ever! I loved the elearning element, the handouts for study guides, the prompt email and phone call responses, the classroom discussion and the over all personality and hospitality that Catherine Brinkley brings to the table. I would drive 5 hours again just for this great experience! Best ever ACLS, PALS and BLS recertification! 😊Mae Hamrick

Highly recommend. I was given 5 days notice to complete both ACLS and NRP for a new job and was panicking but Catherine made it so easy to get both skills sessions booked and done in time. She is so friendly, has a ton of snacks, and really alleviates any stress you might have about the classes. I'll be getting all my certifications through her from now on!Olivia Lewis

I was a student at Heart To Heart Academy and when I tell you Miss Priscilla was the best teacher I have ever, she really takes her time to teach you step-by-step, she never rush you, and she is not going to let you walk away not understanding what the assignment was, Mr. Williams which is her husband very very instrumental in everything that has to be done, I would highly recommend this school to anyone that wants to become a CNA, her teaching technique is spectacular, her curriculum is so organized, her theory organized, her way of teaching you was so easy to understand, I have never seen such an amazing team, also the people that come in to speak with you, talk to you about Job, was top notch in the Colorado Springs surrounding area. I highly recommend the school to anyone entering the nursing field. When I finish the four week training I came out with confidence, my self-esteem built back up, and my tenacity to Learn is on point. Thank you so much Heart To Heart 🤣🤣❤️❤️❤️🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿Sharon Walker

I attended Heart To Heart Academy, and when I say dedication, well organized, and most of all caring. Mrs. Williams is the best Teacher I have ever met, she makes sure that you really understand, she will always be there to assist you, and also Mr. Williams is awesome as well. If you really want to be a CNA you can best believe that this school right here is truly the place to learn. I cant wait until she teaches LPN. I was job ready before I left the school, and recruiters will come in and talk to you as well, Thank You Mrs. Williams from my heart to your Heart, God bless you all. SWSharon Walker

This was one of the best academic experiences I have had in my life. The staff is very, hands on, and ALWAYS willing to assist with any questions that might occur. Very supportive and encouraging along the way. I highly recommend to any aspiring CNA’s to give them a shot because the experience alone will set you up for success! To Heart to Heart Academy thank you so much for helping me find a career path to grow in!Jeremy Grim

The Automotive Technology program is amazing. It covers everything you need to know in order to get a great beginning to intermediate level job in the industry. Mr. Martin and Mr. Werner are INCREDIBLE instructors that care about their students. However, Mr. Slaughter needs to be removed from the program. He is a good instructor, teaching wise… but he knows absolutely NOTHING about the automotive industry and has 0 experience working in a shop. From my understanding, they only hired him because 1 year classes are always so big they need to split it between Mr. Werner and Mr. Slaughter. It’s not fair to the kids who get Mr. Slaughter. I loved him as a teacher and he was very nice and helpful but he has no buisness being in an automotive based programJayln Cano

My last year of cosmo was when covid hit. It was extremely hard for me to do o line especially with things going on around the house. I then later on tried reaching out for help so I could prepare for state boards, but they were no help. I feel like it was extremely unfair to those who were almost done with the program when covid hit and not being to get help. I have my hours, I just didn't get the help I needed. It's about to be 2 years since I finished the course, and till this day I haven't been able to get the help I need to get my license. The cosmo director should understand how difficult it was for use and should have at least helped out.Selene Gonzalez

Awesome place to learn, I never thought I would come back to study after 14 years being away from school. In my age of school there were not much educational opportunities with easy access. The instructors and support members are there to show you the path, it's up to you how you go on your journey whether learning or just chilling. I hope I get through this and achieve what I have come for. Thanks to everyone at PickensSaid milad Akaberi

The welding department at Lincoln Tech of Denver has a lot of advantages. The teaching staff is awesome- Brian Bennett, Shane Kohn, Robert Rabino, Joel Lopez, Jerrod Brown, Joe, Todd. These guys have worked in the industry and they can answer almost every single question you could have. The facilities are top notch. There was always plenty of space to work. Plenty of welding machines to go around. And they were always stocked up on the necessary supplies for stick, MIG, and TIG. When it comes to learning how to weld, having the right tools and supplies is crucial. Lincoln supplies every student with a laptop and all the necessary tools a welder carries. The program was 7 months. The first month or so is all safety stuff and general theory of welding. After that, it’s pretty much all classroom time. I should say that with Covid, we had alternating days online, so I felt we got a lot more theory than we would have in previous years, but I think that’s a good thing in the end. Lincoln did a great job and adapting to covid and keeping students engaged while working from home online. Career services also does a great job. The welding department’s student rep, Joyce DeSantis, runs a tight ship helping students with resumes and job placement. Lastly, the Dean of Education, Dwayne Isbell, and the President of the school, Kelly Moore, both personally made themselves available for me when I needed them. I highly recommend Lincoln Tech of Denver. I definitely feel like my education from here is going to take me a long way. Oh and I got a job offer before I even finished school.Quinn Zimmer

I have almost finished the Auto program here at Lincoln Tech. Having prior experience in the field before enrolling helped me pick up a lot more from the teachers. The theory can be bland, but get through that and the teachers are very knowledgeable in the shop. One teacher stood out for me out of all of them; Steve Hatch. I identified with him pretty closely, as we both come from the mid-west US, and I gleaned more out of his three classes than I had over some periods of working in the field. I was apprehensive at first from hearing about Mr. Hatch from some of his prior students. I found very little truth in their words. He is perhaps the most fair and attentive teacher I got to learn under during my time with Lincoln Tech, and he has my gratitude for that. Other than the teachers, most of the shop equipment is kept in decent repair and plenty of tools are available. Some of the more specialized equipment, like the chassis and transmission dyno's, can only be operated by one of two of the teachers. That would be the one thing I would change at the school so no one has to miss dyno day.Joshua Lane

This education and all the help I got from Lincoln tech was exactly what I was wanting from life. I am all set with an amazing job in welding and fabrication at western industrial contractors! I couldn’t have done it without everyone helping me! Special shout out to Mr. Lopez for pushing me to be the best welder and always picking me up when I was down and when I finish my education the help from Joyce in job services was outstanding! Didn’t give up on me and is the reason I am at this job now. I love everyone at Lincoln and I hope other people see this and join their programs to succeed like I have. Thank you🤙🏽Chris Segura

This was an incredibly thorough program. The online portion fully prepared me for my test and I love that I could go at my own pace and still have access to previous sections. I had Cassie C. as much my skills instructor and she went above and beyond to be sure everyone in class understood each skill. She was patient, kind and funny when appropriate. I felt totally comfortable and confident taking my exams after finishing the Voyager program. Highly recommend it to anyone needing CNA education.Delaney Kellenaers

I had Cassie as my instructor and she was the best. She is very clear in explaining skills in exams and skills in a facility. I would highly recommend Voyager Lakewood. For the clinicals we had Laurel and she explained everything to us very clearly which communication is really important here. She checks in during rotations just to make sure we are still okay. I recommend her for clinicals. She has kept everything real. Overall, I had a really good experience and would rate Voyager 10/10Cynthia Chege

This program is incredibly informative and helpful. The instructors are very student focused and are passionate about the success within the program as well as the future endeavors of each of their students. I had the pleasure of learning from Cassie and Laurel as my instructors. The instructors make all the difference in the overall comfort and understanding throughout every step of the course. I would highly recommend this program to anyone looking into getting into the CNA field.Kasi Lester

The South Denver School of Nursing Arts are the people you want in your corner. I took my CNA education course remotely from Hawaii during the pandemic and SDSNA went above and beyond in supporting me in remote instruction. They have an awesome lab to practice your skills in and you will build community with other students. Not only does SDSNA wholeheartedly believe in their students skills and academic ability, they will support you throughout your career and help you get where you want to be. I was struggling with getting my first CNA gig, and SDSNA advocated for me to ensure I got in touch with the right recruiters. They also coach you on how to interview and provide you with a ton of resources to help you land the job you want. I highly recommend SDSNA, especially if you are just getting started with healthcare. They are the best!Lia Kopesky

I am so thankful for everyone at this school. The online classes were easy to handle and very interactive. The structure was easy to follow and I felt supported every step of the way. My instructor worked around my 12 hour work shifts. I was able to do these classes, work, and be a full time mom. I loved the at home partner involvement! I was able to schedule plenty of practice time for my skills exam and felt super prepared!! I passed my boards and start my job as a CNA TOMORROW!!! Thank you SDSNA I can't even explain how happy I am!!Michelle Ketchum-bartlett

SDSNA is an amazing school to get your CNA license. Whitney, the owner, is so welcoming and supportive the whole time. The instructors are also very supportive and you truly feel like they are rooting you on every step of the way. My class felt like a family by the end of the four weeks and I was sad to leave them and part ways. Even though this is a four-week course, the amount of information and skills I learned to be a safe and successful CNA was well worth it! I highly recommend SDSNA to anyone wanting to get their CNA license!Maille Pierce

I loved this class!!! I cannot say enough good things about Allison and Kelly. Allison is the best instructor I have ever had the pleasure to learn from. This is definitely her calling. She is super knowledgeable, patient, understanding, supportive… the list goes on and on!!! I was super nervous the 1st day and she stayed by me encouraging me the entire class. She made all of us empower one another and I left meeting some amazing women in this field. Kelly was also amazing, she showed me some of her techniques that helped me to view what I was doing in a completely different way and being successful with it too!! These 2 ladies want nothing but for you to succeed and have some fun while doing it! I’ll be taking Allison’s IV certification class next!!! Can’t wait!!! Thanks Allison and Kelly!!😍Jillian Taddy

I did the phlebotomy course and IV course with Allison and I would highly recommend both. She is an absolutely awesome teacher and person to work with. She’s also super experienced, knowledgeable, friendly, and willing to help you in any stage of your phlebotomy path, whether you’re just starting out and looking for jobs or coming in for a refresher. She does a great job of teaching on the model arms, guiding when you transition to real sticks, and answering questions as you go. I cannot recommend this class enough, especially if you want the most experience possible before starting a job! You also get to meet a lot of people with various knowledge and careers, so be willing to learn and share with them, too!Olivia Fite

This is one of the best classes I have ever taken. Allison is a natural, super high energy, very encouraging with tons of knowledge to share. Kelly was so helpful and patient, also with so much knowledge. It was refreshing to find instructors that are there for you. Not in a hurry to get through class and took time to answer all questions. Even offering to stay after to help if needed. I learned so much and had a great time doing it. I highly recommend this class!! Thank you Allison and Kelly for making it so interesting and fun!!lisa Riley

Recently took my CNA course at Ann Rose. What brought me to choose Ann Rose was many reasons one is the small class setting, I got a chance to meet my fellow classmates, and teachers. I love that they have various schedules to choose from either nights or days. The affordability and payment plan and overall it was only within three weeks of completion. I must say I had an amazing experience and smooth transition into learning the basics and the importance of a nurse aide. I was taught everything I needed to know for the written and skill tests. Gretchen, Teresa, Heather and Sandy are wonderful and they take extra time on top of class schedule for students to practice skills to make sure you are confident enough for the test. I’m glad I choose Ann Rose and I 100% recommend it to anyone looking to get there CNA.Sevastian Mejia

I was a part of the fast track class back in June and I originally​ chose this school because of this fast-track​ course. My experience was fantastic. There was a lot to learn but it was completely​ manageable​ and our instructor Joan was always there to answer questions. As the other reviewers​ mentioned, the facility is not full of brand new equipment​, however, that does not matter at all when the education and the instructors are so increadible and helpful. After Joan's class, I felt completly confident to take the state exam two weeks after clinicals and passed on the first try. If you are trying to pick a CNA program for your childs care, nursing school, PA school or anything else, I would 100% recommend choosing Ann Rose! ​Christina Ross

This is a great school. Donna was my instructor and she prepped my class so well I breezed through the State exam knowing the answer to every question! I began the exam as a nervous wreck but quickly my nerves calmed when I realized Donna’s knowledge combined with her expert teaching skills (of course studying too) was all I ever needed. The owners are one of a kind, unbelievably understanding and reasonable. They worked with me when my family schedule got a little shaky at the end. I gave max stars/5 because for me this school cared about my success and showed it. I’m so happy to have been directed to them, & thankful for the knowledge & prep work they give. Thank you Ann Rose School of Nursing! You are the BEST.P DWU

Took our 2 year old son to get a haircut at the salon today and our stylist did an amazing job. He was very professional and kind and his instructor was amazing 😌 most salons wouldn't take us because of how young he was but they said yes right away and did an amazing job on his hair. I forgot his name but he had a little Waldo at his station and did great with my son. 10/10 recommend. ( We covered his face for privacy).JnK Grondahl

Great campus with a caring staff and faculty. Campus leadership truly cares about the student experience from the beginning with admissions to the end with career services. If you're looking to make a change and prefer a hands on training experience this is the college for you! Call now! Don't postpone a better career, better life, and the feeling of making yourself and your family proud!Kristen Williamson

Awesome staff and campus. They are all very encouraging and genuinely care about your success. I walked in for information and finished as a new student. Financial aid was also very helpful, Thank you Teresa! Career training kickoff was very appreciated as it helps students learn focus, goals setting and professionalism.Just Me

I just recently graduated from Avanza Training program and also passed my state exam, and because of their awesome staff, patient teachers (Pam, Christy) I was finally able to achieve my goal! I will say this Avanza was not my first selection unfortunately, I had chose another school which I did not complete and was not happy with the teaching style, amongst many other reasons. I actually at one point was starting to second guess myself on if I am making the right career choice. So I started shopping around and came across Avanza. From the moment I walked in the administration was attentive, friendly and far from pushy and cold. (like my first choice) The classes are well planned out, they are more then willing to go out of their way to make sure you understand what is being taught, offer outside tutoring, and for this I thank you Avanza!!! I highly recommend their course and don't make the same mistake I did. Thanks again, Avanza you guys were awesome!Stephanie Lynn

I took the CNA class here with Donya as my instructor. She was an amazing teacher who made sure each of her students got the hands on individual learning to be as successful and confident in the workforce as they were in school. If you were struggling with anything or having a hard time understanding something she made sure to go over it with you step by step until you felt confident that you knew it. She tells everyone of her students that they can come into the school anytime to practice their skills and if they have questions she is always there to help. I highly recommend this school to anyone who is looking for caring and compassionate instructors who are there to help you every step along the way. This course is far from easy but with the instructors at Avanza they help make sure you are prepared to take your state test and join the workforce!!Sarah Jenkins

I've taken around 10 CPR classes over the years and this was by far the best. Donya is a tremendous instructor and the practice mannequins are unlike anything I've ever seen. The real-time feedback they provide for the students is just fantastic. I also appreciated the extra time Donya took with my son after he performed poorly on the written test at the end of the class. She read through every question with him, along with every answer choice, to make sure he understood them. Once she did this, he got every single answer correct! This was above and beyond service and was appreciated more than you can imagine!!Joy Blackburn
