20 Best Lpn Programs In San Antonio, TX (2022 Updated)

Am enrolled in the truck driving school at Eagle Pass; it is our final day of class. The staff and instructors at SWTJC — Eagle Pass respond to all concerns with genuine care and attention for helping any student succeed. PRICE: 5 STARS At approx: $3600.00 USD, this price cannot be beat! The national average for CDL school is $5-$6K USD. Not only will you learn to drive standard– not taught at all schools– but, you'll have professors who have 15-20+ years of experience in all aspects of CDL work. Professors are definitely there to collect a paycheck; and, most hold driving jobs elsewhere. All professors show significant interest in helping others on their way to better jobs. CLASSROOM TRAINING: 3 STARS One MUST speak or understand Spanish fluently in order to pass this part of the course. At least 1/2 of the instructors speak Spanish only. If you do not speak Spanish, it is best to speak with Mr. Olivares or Mr. Talamantes, they'll elaborate until the concept(s) is understood. Expect lots of repetitive, memorization-based [classroom] curriculum. DRIVING TRAINING: 3 STARS There was definitely not enough drive time– the fail rate for the CDL exam is stark, and sobering. Double-clutching is not taught on standard 10-speed trucks. Expect to have uneven distribution in driving time per student. Some will drive more than others, and it is easy to fall behind. Expect to argue with your classmates at least once over who gets to drive– not enough trucks, nor space in the yard for 16 students. If one doesn't run to get the keys from the professor– much like a dog chasing after a bone– he will not drive. TRUCKS: 3 STARS Trucks are constantly breaking down. Air conditioners do not work on at least 1/2 of the trucks; expect to sweat in the summer, or freeze in the winter. Trucks are worn out, and filtly– lots of student sweat, oily surfaces, and grime all over the insides, disgusting. Mysterious beeps emanate from the dash, grinding noises are common, leaks are common, and check engine lights are intermittent. Bring hand sanitizer! Bring laundry money– the yard is very dusty. FACILITIES: 5 STARS The campus building is brand new — the janitor works harder than anyone! The truck practice yard is very dusty, muddy when wet; yet: floors are still immaculate. Bathrooms are serviced everyday, and the classrooms are clean and organized. A computer lab would be nice for job applicants post-training. SWTJC has a library– 5 min drive from CDL building– available for guest computer use. Altogether, a pretty good school. Administration is responsive and open to addressing concerns, classroom material(s) are well-prepared, and you'll learn to drive a standard. I'd definitely recommend this school to a friend!Joseph Ruel

Technical classes I do not recommend …teacher wants you to google or YouTube everything or expect for you to know everything….we going to college to learn not to pass the day eating and seeing what recreation bull they got going …seems like instructors are more interested in eating and being googley eyes …when I had question ..never found the instructor around….I would never go back …unless of course I have to finish what I started but if I can transfer ..I will definitely do that…. NO GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!Esperanza Esquivel

The eagle pass campus has professors that discourage students. They have professors that show up late or always cancel class, they don't properly lecture and are only there to collect a paycheck. This campus seems more invested in wanting to get paid and not helping students or providing the quality education that the students need.cynthia flores

The housing staff is horrible, they have put 2 charges on my account and they admitted to not knowing how they got my name however they refused to take it off even when the camera showed I never stayed, 3 weeks later I spoke to Hr for them to remove it and they did it the same day. The other one was removed 2 weeks later after the payment date. I would also recommend you bring in your own food or check it before leaving the dinning hall. I found so much mold and was served under cooked to many times. The drinks apply as well check the ice whole before u get if there is black stuff around it use the other machines.(not sure if they are gonna clean up before the fall but there is also mold in between the soda machines) Not only the dinning side but be careful with the soda/juice in the deli side the they both are spoiled. And check the expiration date of each snack you do choose to take I had 3 month old jello and I still can’t get that’s fussy taste out my mouth. Either side will not hesitate to sell old milk or old food and bunch it all up to be given out on the weekends. There is a wëëd problem at this school as well so be careful because if anyone in your dorm doesn’t it you maybe be accused of doing it as well by the campus police. Not on to the professors, you need to hold some of their hand and walk them three days the grading process. I had 3 professors(1 was in person and the other 2 was online) last semester wait til the end of the semester to grade everyone from my midterms to out introductions at the beginning. For online teachers make sure you double check their comments after they grade and read up on stuff ahead of time so u can message them early because they don’t respond to message in a timely manner. That is all that I’ve experienced in my first year at Navarro College. I hope they get some stuff fixed and be better for the next first yearsCupcake_skull

Navarro College was STELLAR! As a former Bulldog, I'm proud to have called this school my home. Professors are knowledgeable and interesting individuals, the staff are all charming and helpful, and the atmosphere of the entire facility is one of safety and growth. Plus, Dr. Fagan (the man in charge of it all) is incredibly personable and makes a point of greeting and interacting with students every chance he gets! I would gladly attend Navarro again if I got the chance!Nathaniel Smith

The staff at the Corsicana campus are very rude. Upon inquiring about something the registrar didn’t know about; she went on to yell at me over the counter while the lobby was full of other students. There are only a handful of instructors that are dedicated and willing to see their students succeed. After all we pay to go there and I believe that the students need to treated with a bit of respect. The Cashiers are generally nice and will help you out.Nethmal Perera

This heartfelt review is difficult for me because I actually attended Alvin junior high and Alvin high school off and on throughout my 12 years. I love this town. I was happy to attend this college for that precise reason. However, there were many many obstacles I went through to get my degree here. Frequently, I had to wait my opportunity cost between a poorly taught class, and a class dedicated towards my profession. This should not be happening. Two things caused this. Professors who do not calculate the time required to perform homework and assignments out of class Is one. The second cause were professors who should not be teaching at all. They are either rude, careless Or have some type of issue within their person. Every semester I had a professor like this even after referencing rate my professor. Eventually because of this college hiring so many professors with personal issues it eventually cost me my accumulative science and math GPA to fall under. Consequently, I would not qualify to enter into university science or math department. Every semester on student loans, I worked 10 hours a day for seven days a week for two years. There should have been no reason why my grades were affected. However, how a professor teaches is one of those things that an individual has absolutely no control over. Because of the poor department management and analysis of teaching from professors by administrative, I will no longer be able to pursue the group degree I intended on pursuing. As a compromise, I had to apply for graduation for a general studies associates to leave this college peacefully, and it not destroy my loan approval or potential to graduate in four years. Best degree plans for this college are governments, English, etc. Stay at another community college for science and math because these departments are seriously on organized and not monitored.Shauna Herrera

Keep Alvin Beautiful greeted at the Alvin City Fall cleanup. Texas Pride and others showed up 2 collect all kinds of trash and recycle. Really impressed with everybody that I got to work with as they had a great attitude and even though most were new to the event they jumped in and made things work well. Really proud of everybody who participated and made this a great event and keeping our city sparkling Update: the EMS and police cadet departments pulled together to do a huge exercise for the training of their students. Using the building abandoned building across the street they staged a mass shooter that the police cadets had to take out and then they pulled in the EMS students to help pick up and treat all the wounded. Was a terrific activity and professionally done. Very fun to participate in as a victim. Update: we had the spring Alvin clean up and had the best participation ever. 151 people brought all kinds of trash, metal recycle, electronics, batteries, paper shredding, and green waste to be recycled. Had a super day. Thanks to Hugh and the others at Texas Pride for another terrific jobAdam Burkey

Great place to take classes. My son takes classes here in the summer to transfer to his 4 year university. He has enjoyed all of his professors. I like the school because they have a great enrollment process. They've got a waiting area and they call you up by name and clearly post your name on monitors. I only give 4 stars because of their police department. If you pull through a parking space-ticket. They watch every vehicle and the slightest parking lot infraction can bring a quick ticket. They're using it as a money generator. You've got to read their police handout. A lot of rules are in place that aren't posted and a visitor can quickly find themselves ticketed. We've switched to College of the Mainland and we've been happier.David Carlisle

Just attended a concert in the music hall at the Stillwell humanities building on the Texarkana College campus. The concert was given by a soprano named Shaina Martinez and a pianist named Mary Scott Smith. The style was classical, operatic, and the show included songs by Puccini, Debussy, Andre Previn, Ricky Ian Gordon, and others. The performance was outstanding, and the concert lasted about an hour. There was a printed program provided by the college, and it listed every song and composer, except the encore. There were about 75-80 people attending the concert, and about 30 of those were college students.scott campisi

The person working the front desk of the financial aid office is extremely rude and condescending. She also made it very well known how she felt about the military and GI Bill students. If you have the misfortune of having to endure that lady (you will know her when you see her. She reminds me of kermit's girlfriend) then just know the professors make up for her unprofessionalism.BioMajor33353 B

It's been a pretty good experience so far. They seem to have a lot of compassion for their students. Especially those who have learning disabilities like me (ADHD). They do a great deal for you. Only problem is the coffee bar and the Chik Fil A are not operating. Other than that it's all smilesJoel “JoJo” Albert

Good school. Dr. Haskins is a great teacher for the cisco CCNA certification course. All the material is provided. However, I feel as if the course is a little rushed. I understand the school is accelerated learning, but 8 chapters a week with only hearing lecture on 4 of said chapters is a lot for people who have jobs outside of school. I am almost done with my time here and I would recommend this school for those wanting to learn and possibly start a career in IT. Again, Dr. Haskins is an awesome, awesome instructor, and I hope he teaches more courses in the future.Brian Moller

I was a student here back in 2009. This was probably one of the best decisions I could've made to jumpstart my career in healthcare. I graduated from CCI while doing an internship at a Sleep Lab…The lab offered me a full time position after graduation. From there I got deep into the home health and DME industry. I worked my way up from a regular employee to managing teams. I am 13 years in and I love every minute of it. With education, and perseverance, anything is possible!E. Richardson

I am a technical recruiter in DFW and have been working with CCI Training for the past 5 years. I frequently go to them to find qualified candidates for my open positions and have not been disappointed. I have found that the students that come out of CCI are knowledgeable, professional, and well trained to take on new technical roles. We always receive positive feedback from our clients on the quality and work of the candidates who were CCI students.Andrea DeLaCruz

I will be turning 30 next year and getting accepted here is amazing for me. The assistance and hope given to your dreams to start your new life here is a great opportunity for anyone. Easy payment plans, builds credit, finance your budget better , just a step towards a better life. My orientation starts today and start school on October 31 can’t wait to learn!! Knowledge is growth and you can always have a foundation with knowledge. A very free judgement free zone and diverse as well. Do what I did and put your beat step forward towards a career contact them today.Vonni Bonni

Great school. Great teachers. The job placement staff is wonderful. BUT the school is a little misleading because when you earn your certification, you will not yet be qualified for the jobs you really want because you will have to get even more certifications. Not to mention most of the jobs want people with a few years experience to start there. So if you are willing to keep going and earning all your certifications and degrees, by all means, go here!OneCoolOne

I’ve been attending this school for about 2 months, and I have nothing but good reviews about it. All my teachers so far have been great and patient with their students and it’s been easier to learn the material. Ms.Roberts has been an amazing teacher, she is very detailed in her teaching making things a lot easier to understand. She is very patient and has the best attitude and loves to make her students smile. I truly recommend this school.yenifer canul

The College of health care professions has been nothing but good experiences for me. From the moment you walk in everyone is so welcoming and sweet, to admissions team helping you understand every step of the way and helping you be prepared for what is coming, financial aid team for allowing you to not have to worry about paying for school till AFTER you have graduated from your program. And instructors who will always make sure that you are understanding everything that is being taught, as well as help you become a professional! I graduated in 2018 from Dental Assisting Program and Mrs. Garcia was and will always be an amazing instructor, without her I would not be where I am today. Today I am happy to say that I will be returning to CHCP to further my education and I could not be more excited! CHCP definitely gets you prepared for the career of your lifetime!Gabriela Lopez

I give this school 5 stars this school has literally changed my life! I went in just having questions about the programs available. The next thing you know, I started school that night with the pharmacy program.My program director along with the program teachers were always willing to pass on their knowledge and help in any way. So if you are curious about the programs and are ready to get started walk in and be ready to start! The staff is very welcoming! There are plenty of resources in case you are struggling with homework. The career services are there to answer any questions you may have pertaining to job placement and help you revise your resume. I appreciate everyone that I has helped me get to where I am at now!Elisa Ruiz

I've never had a more wonderful experience in a schooling system. The staff treat you like family and want you to succeed in every way possible. The hands on training was extremely informative, and when I had issues staff replied within 24 hours to help walk me through and/or fix whatever issue I was having. They also work with you to ensure you have options for employment, and before I knew it I was hired on before I was even finished with my MA externship. As long as you put in the work and dedicate yourself to learning the material, this school is honestly a wonderful choice.Max

I am a current student at CHCP and I can tell you the school is great ,and they do make you feel very comfortable , the staff is very kind and helpful, they are truelly there for you when you need a hand with class concerns, personal issues or life issues, their open door policy is very real and comforting to have when you feel like you have no one to turn to if you need to talk. I am taking the M.A. course and my instructors Ms.Myers and Ms Ewing are amazing instructors. This school is DEFINITELY a place to come to to get your medical education. Well worth a tour and attending.. I've built friendships that will last a very long time..you become like a family because you are classmates who lean on each other to get through.Tanya Estrada

CHCP is the place to go if you are seeking for a Career in the Medical Field. All of the Staff truly care about you and really want to see you do well and achieve the success you are reaching for. I would personally like to give recognition to Ms. Lynne Turner , she is top tier one of the best instructors on campus. She strives to do her absolute best to make sure her students feel welcomed and continuously goes above and beyond ensuring her students have all the tools they need for Success! 👏🏾 Shout out to Ms. Turner!! Teacher of the year!! 🎉 🏆Joseph Armstrong

I loved the school. The teachers, career services, financial aid and admissions are such great people and very helpful. I loved feeling welcoming, being taught so much in such a short amount time. Even if they’re not your instructors and need help you can always go to any of them and they will help you out with anything you need help with. Great environment, good vibes and a great place to meet people. I was in the M.A. program and they helped me get a job when I was in school and also helped me to get a job once I was done with externship.Mariana Tobar

I’m so glad I made the decision to continue my education with ACI. If I could give them more stars I would. I dropped out of high school and waited till turned 18 and got my GED . I started my first semester at dcccd when Covid hit. I was really bummed but still very motivated to continue my education. When I learned I’d be taking summer 2020 completely online I knew there was a chance I might struggle at the beginning but who wouldn’t ? That’s why there’s available help from your instructors. So I took the courses and failed miserably. I lacked the help and support I needed and deserved at DCCCD. I truly believed community college was my only option for a very long time. Until I heard my neighbors success story with ACI. Being family owned and operated was a green flag right of the bat. It’s very important to know you have people on your side who truly care and want to help the best way possible and I’m confident I will have their full support with anything I need throughout my time here. Im confident I will succeed in their online paralegal program without a doubt. Fred was amazing, very helpful throughout the whole enrollment process. The whole admissions team working close together made the whole process quick and easy. Everyone was very welcoming. They made me feel like family from the moment I walked in, literally. I cant be more excited to start the paralegal program May 17th. Thanks Fred and ACI fam!Ehliysiah

I was in the first cohort for the LVN/LPN program at ACI, and it was so definitely worth it! My experience though, was quite different from many of my peers as I was pregnant through out almost the entire program from beginning to end. Even though I had every odd against me, every one of my instructors did everything they could to ensure my success and I can never thank this administration enough for that. I graduated in October along with my peers, and I just found out that I passed the Texas state board exam, so I am officially an LVN/LPN! I am forever thankful to this school and my instructors Miss Bailey, Miss Nikki, and Miss Tawana. They are the reason that I made it through and the reason I will be successful in my career.Mariah Daniels

As this being my second time enrolling into a college, I will say that I am more than ready to be apart of Arlington Career Institute. When I came across the school I just knew that it was where I belonged. I am more than excited to be apart of the institute and it’s many opportunities that come with it. Not only did the opportunities of the school make me more than ready to start my classes, but meeting Ms. Ashley P. really set the cherry on top. She is soo sweet, caring, and helpful and has made my enrollment process so much easier for me. Without her help I definitely would be at a lost. I haven’t been more ready to start my classes as I am now and I owe it all to Ms. Ashley!Samantha Jones

My instructor Ms. Brown has been the best leader and teacher I’ve ever experienced. She is always willing to help and answer questions at any time. She is patient, kind, understanding and overall a pleasant individual to be around. She makes everyone feel welcomed and comfortable regardless of their situations which shows she truly cares. I appreciate all her efforts throughout my time here at Concorde and I’m so grateful I got to experience a teaching experience like this one! Thank you Ms. Brown!Celia Pardi

I’m in the Concorde Career Program, my admissions coordinator Mr. Greg Stewart was always on top of things, easy to get ahold of and always professional. He made the admissions process such a breeze to gather through. The program is definitely challenging but so worth it. Concorde understands that some students may need additional resources which they help facilitate. Would recommend to others applying for a professional employment program.Stephanie Rees

I recently just graduated from the ST program. My director Mrs.Harris was very supportive and very helpful. My lecture teacher Mr.Smith was awesome when it came time for certification she made sure if we didn’t understand something she would have private tutoring to make sure we understood. Mr.Anderson understood his assignment as our lab teacher he got us prepared for clinicals i really appreciate them they have taught me a lotlisa burrell

I started school April and I’m close to going out to externship, but I have to say my journey with Pima has been a positive experience. You’re getting your hands dirty in labs, which is a nice because you aren’t sitting in a classroom trying to cram that information with flash cards. And having that prior experience before you leave for an actual job site will be extremely useful and beneficial for you once you hit the ground running. Not only do they help you focus on what exactly it is you need to start your future career in the field of your choosing, but their student resources are easy to access and have them help you with whatever questions you may have. Thank you Pima for helping me stay on track and helping me get one step closer to a job I am passionate about.Sheila Pulido

I had a great experience in this school. I started the journey without knowing what to do, and without expecting anything from me. This school made me fall in love with a career I never thought I would be in (Dental Assistant). Ms. Hicks made me feel welcomed since the first day, I got to her class, and had a great time. Dr. Cuellar and Ms. Leslie as well made enjoy going to school and wanting to learn everyday. They not only teach what you need to learn, but why you need to learn it too. Everything I saw in class, helped me be more prepared when I started externship, and it made it really easy. I now am in place I enjoy and have no problem being in, but this wouldn’t be possible the teachers and staff from Pima wouldn’t have helped a lot. Thank you, Pima!Nathan Rodriguez

Wonderful staff that very caring and helpful to make sure you have what you need to learn. The programs all start at a basic level so it's easy to get back up to speed if you've been out of school for a long time and they are very helpful at ensuring you have a solid start to your chosen career. The pharmacy program was a delight and I've never been so excited to go to class, Mr D is a great teacher and is always available to assist if you're struggling. I learned a lot very quickly during my program and Mr D made the whole experience fun and enjoyable. It was still hard work but as long as you're willing to put in the effort I'm confident PIMA will get you where you want to go 😁Steven Watt

This school is a joke when it comes to the Diesel Heavy Truck program. You will not learn what you think you need to for the Diesel field. The recruiters do a good job selling you the dream and lying about everything. You will not be certified Diesel Technician, you will get a diploma saying you completed the 1 year course. $23,000 down the drain, and if you don’t finish paying the school by the time you graduate you will not receive your diploma. This program is a joke your better starting off at a shop we’re they will train you. Half of the stuff they have in the shop does not work, They don’t have the proper equipment in the shop they seem to get a lot of pass down equipment from the automotive side. Half of the time class in class you go over basic math such as plus,multiplication, and division it’s a joke. They expect you to learn from a book and not give you the proper hands on training they should. I honestly wouldn’t recommend this program to anybody if I can go back and start over I will. Guaranteed this program is not ready to be even teaching, I never see the head instructor working or teaching anything in this course he’s always in his classroom or just leaning on a table. Only one instructor that knows what he is talking about in his teaching methods everybody else is a joke, But even then all that money is not worth it for that one instructor whole diesel program is to get you ready for a entry level job in the field, no shops are looking for entry level tech your better off starting in a shop believe me when I tell you “don’t” again I wouldn’t recommend this for anyone.Frank Ram

Yes a humble day class is at 1 but I'm gonna be late only because I have an interview at 2 for red lobster and to get hired is to maintain a good positive attitude and since I'll be on bus I can come to class now if Mr Rogelio will reach out to me and meet my professors or and put my hours in early just for today but being former college grad attendance is everything so I ask for my interview to be 11 just to make it to school so If I can have advice from my counselor I would love to know a cousenlor and humble clue to what can be my options I can be there at 10 an spend time than stay late to finish my day but college is all about grades so I think I'll just scare my classmates show up late but stay to finish while I work on a 4.0 GPA Good luckMichelle Garcia

Would not recommend anyone going here to get there CDL or any classification for that matter. The CDL instructor is racist. She kept telling us stories of her bad experiences with minorities. The whole time we were in class all Paulette would do is talk about how much more money she gets compared to the other instructors. The entire time we were training in the truck she was in her car talking on the phone. I walked in with just as much knowledge I left with. The women at the front desk would put me on hold then never return to phone. All around terrible experience. Luckily I Road Master has taken me in and now I’m able to get certified there.Jeilan Carradine

Dr.George was the best instructor ive ever had LET ME TELL YOU! i have never enjoyed school and never made above a B plus but after taking my first module with him i past all my first 3 classes with a perfect score of 100. His teaching style is amazing, he makes you feel like youre not alone, and he loves when u ask questions so if you're like me and hate asking questions he makes it so much easier its awesome. I really hope i run into you again one day because you were the absolute BEST instructor a student could ask for. Love You! -Hailey <3Hailey Wilke

My career service advisor was great! Ms. Alexandria Vela helped me tremendously on my job search. She was one of the people from the campus who have always been very helpful. She has always been very attentive with me and always checked in, during and after my externship, and now that I'm hired she has continued to check in. She helped me apply for jobs and even walk me through interview questions. Eventually I did get hired and I cant thank her enough!estefania castillo

May I express, I was worried about joining this institution, I hadn’t been in school for a while but when I first visited everybody made me feel so welcome with a constant smile on their face, I felt encouraged and wanting to be in class. Dr. Navarro is very knowledgeable and she sure makes sure we’re updated with our work. I really recommend for you to visit CHCP institution, don’t just take my word for what I just experienced.Browneyes

I am a student in the MOA program and my experience at concorde I would say it has been amazing.The staff are always willing to help the students to help them succeed and answer any questions they have.If anyone ever has a bad day Stacie and Mari are always open to donating some of their time to the students and help them talk about any issues that they need help with in their personal life.The instructors are very aware of their students and make sure that each and everyone is passing their classes.If you need to find a job in order to survive while attending school Ms.Danielle is always open to helping those who need to find one.Since my second MOD I have been a member of the lamplighter program which is a student leadership program where students help one another including their peers in class and help mentor them as well as help them in anything they need.We lamplighters are always at the service of students and staff if there is ever anything they need help with. If anyone is interested you can come to the campus and make an appointment and explore the campus feel free to go on the website and take a look at the programs we at concorde have to offer!Pedro Beltran

The dental hygiene program here is absolutely wonderful. Our teachers and program director are amazing. But I am giving two stars because of the issues I’ve had with financial aid. It feels almost impossible to get an appointment with them and everything is so confusing. I understand everyone is short staffed but I have been trying to get ahold of my financial aid person for a month. Not only are they hard to get ahold of but they have said things such as “you need to get a job” if we ask to take a loan out for living expenses. Don’t they think we would get a job if we could? The program is full time there’s absolutely no time to get a job. I’m honestly just hurt that they treat us that way when we spend 73k on this program.Leah Broyles

I took a night class. The instructor always wanted to go home early. so instead of teaching us hands on, he just read over the instructions. When i and several others in my class took the tour, they said we would practice on dummys before we drew blood on each other. They lied. "The equipment doesnt work" is what we were always told. Towards the end of your last mod they crammed both badge tests and extern sites. We weren't notified if we got into our externs until the last day of class. Really nerve recking to the students who had to quit their jobs or try to notify their jobs of the schedule changes. The extern hours change constantly.Heather Gallagher

The only reason I placed 2 stars is because the dean and the man who enrolled us was great. But other than that,the reviews for this school is spot on. They care only about money. After financial aid,I was told I still needed to pay 221.00 a month or my daughter would be kicked out. The lady who assisted with FA couldn't care less about anyone who goes to this school. And don't have colored hair either,they'll make you change it. When my daughter could not log in to the online course,no one bothered to help or contact us. I had my daughter withdraw. 18,000 dollars and not even a call back. So I'd shop around for a school and make sure its best for you. This one tho,was not it.Katt T

When researching schools and you read “for-profit” as Concordes main description- believe it. I was accepted into the dental hygiene program and was asked to put a down payment of an amount that was almost 5x my rent. I was considered an “independent student.” (no financial help from family) As soon as I communicated the amount was not doable the school redacted my acceptance and gave my spot to someone else… so before you put all your time, money, and effort into this school-don’t. I cannot speak for the program itself and I’ve heard nothing but great things about the instructor… but at the end of the day that doesn’t matter if Concorde is “for-profit” and not for education.Emilee Gestes

Please do not go to this school. The instructors are very disrespectful and do not teach anything. The purpose is to fail you so that you can pay again since you have to retake the whole semester. The first term had a 30 students class and it went down to like 12 of us. This term everyone is failing so far because the term 2 teacher is random and does not go by the book.There are around 5 students in term 5 which is the last term and most of them have repeated at least one term. I am looking into other programs. Stay away, it is easy to get into the program, but you won't learn anything and NCLEX passing rates are low according to the instructors.Kukita Arocha

I started attending Texas Heath School about two months ago and my experience has been great since the day I walked in the door. My first day walking into the school I was immediately greeted by the smiling face of Mrs. York. She was very attentive and took the time to answer any questions that I had about the LVN program. If she didn't know the answer she took the time to find someone who did. She made sure that I had all of the resources needed for TEAS testing and even told me who had books on sale. A month later she followed up to see if I still had interest in the program and even allowed me to contact her personally if I had any questions. She was VERY helpful with the process and was always there to answer questions. Up until this day she still checks up on me to see how classes are going and she is very encouraging! Her energy can light up a room and you can tell that she genuinely cares. People like her are hard to come by. As far as I'm concerned the world could use more people like Mrs. York.Shanquail Williams

I regret I even have to give 1 star. The ONLY good thing about this school was the teacher I had. Ms. Brinkley was wonderful and very good at teaching us everything we needed to know to pass the class. Thank you Ms. Brinkley! As for the administration the tuition double the price as other schools around the area. A joke of private school. Limited supplies for clinicals! COVID vaccines all across the class still didn’t get to do in person clinicals but they sure charged us for it! Rip off when I go back to school for nursing I will definitely look at different colleges! This class definitely got the short end of the stick!Tracy Kay

This school is trash. The instructors are trash and expect you to already know the information. The owners care nothing about the students passing and only about making money. The Director of Nursing is the biggest piece of trash as she has an air of superiority and an inflated ego and most certainly plays favorites. I would highly recommend that you attend a nursing school that also doesnt charge veterans for room, board and transportation when they are in fact not providing those services to any of the students. Over priced and just trash as a whole.Amber Gibson

My automobile was hit in the school parking lot and no one claimed accountability. Several days later my son (and 2 other people) witnessed one of the instructors hit another vehicle and just drive away. My son reported the incident to the school. Almost graduation time for him and now, because he reported this incident and he did complain that his current instructor gave assignments to do and then tested but they felt they were not being instructed. No class discussion regarding anything. You read, you test. My son made good grades and loved learning. Reward for being honest is that he is not allowed in class now. He has wasted his time with you. You got one star just because you are there.Phyllis Hilyard

This institute does not have a Laboratory program. What you learn here doesn’t count as medical laboratory credits towards a lab tech degree. When I look up training programs for Medical lab unfortunately this pops up. I’ve already spoke to Admin there regarding what I was seeking. They informed me they were doing the same Medical Lab degree and that Lamson isn’t the program for that. For months Lamson has called me claiming to have a Lab program. The recruiters have no idea what curriculum Lamson has apparently, only that they need as many bodies as they can in a room. Being perfectly willing to take my money and mess up my future for an extra body is foul on top of the phone calls.J Awrwah

Instructors are top notch but the admin team is absolutely, depressingly, inadequate and disrespectful. Theres nothing like paying Lamson to come here and be treated like a child. Like an employee. Youre not listened too and youre made to do your teachers job and jumps through hoops to verify your attendance. Typically this is something that the instructor is responsible for but Lamson thinks that's too hard. So you, the student, the customer, are required to do their work for them and when you dont they seek to belittle and degrade you. Not to mention they have no problem calling your apartment or your job seeking info without your knowledge or permission.Lance Taylor

This Medical Assistant program has exceeded my expectations! If you are looking for a school that is HANDS ON, detailed lectures, and instructors that are always willing to help you find different ways to learn, this is the program for you. Instructor Jen is definitely so kind hearted, organized, helpful and so welcoming of all her students. Each instructor is unique and they all have different ways of teaching students various techniques that will be applied in this career. I highly recommend to anyone wanting to make a step in the right direction towards your future!!!Rosalinda Gonzales

Started Classes in February and by far I have nothing but great things to say. The instructors go above and beyond to help the students understand and are always there when you have a question. The material is easy to understand, you do have to put the time in to study. Everything is online during the week and you go in on Saturdays for hands on clinicals! This schedule worked great for me since I work full time during the week. If you’re interested in a short program for medical assistant I would chose this one, they are also super flexible with payments! 🙂Jazzel Reyes

I am currently a student here and I’m so glad I made the choice to enroll in this program. Instructor Jen is such an amazing teacher. She takes the time to explain procedures and topics to her students. She’s very passionate with what she does. I love the way she teaches because she gives constructive criticism, which I believe is vital in learning. This is especially true since as a medical assistant, we want to make sure we know what we’re doing to give the patients the best care possible.Michelle Enero

Ms. Irene is the best teacher ever, very knowledgeable and she’s a nurse so she’s aware of everything she teaches you! The admin supports you the whole way even with finding a job and keeping you updated. I would definitely recommend this school to anybody. It’s quick to finish, thorough and you leave with confidence. They have prepared me to not only be a nurse assistant but has helped prepare me for nursing school as well. I really appreciate it.Ausia Lewis

the whole staff here is awesome! Mrs Irene is an amazing teacher who genuinely seems to care about the students education and bettering themselves. She made learning this course fairly easy & is more than happy to help with those who get confused. Ricardo was also very helpful in the admissions process. & Ms Juliana helped me out a lot as well. Very thankful for this experience and training provided by these amazing people. 🖤bekka b.

The over all experience at Southern Careers Institute, Austin Campus was a huge change in Dynamic, Routine, and overall educational experience. While the Directors do their very best to assist all students in achieving their long term goals to attain a whole career, they make sure that they have the time to be human as well and go above and beyond to make sure that the students are at their best mindset. This past year that I have spent with them feels more like 10 years of experience with so many different students that I met, nurtured and felt the experience of seeing them graduate. My over all personal experience is one that I will never regret and over all feel that this is a home for those who love to help others, to the point where there are no options left to exhaust in order to make sure the student climbs another step in their life choices. SCI does care, they have a heart and will do anything to make sure that those who are looking for a chance or opportunity to better themselves no matter the past have it here. I want to thank all of those who have helped me and supported me through my role as an admissions rep for a year. I also want to thank my students who made me feel a whole person as I saw them grow and change into new people who have the hope, excitement, and drive to do their best. Once again. Thank you SCI, for the opportunity and great experience you have provided! Over and out- VL Admissions Rep. PS. To my students, Keep hitting it hard. Your experience will flourish as soon as you hit that first job! Don't ever give up, and don't look back at the past. "Arriba y Adelante"- VL's GrandmotherVito Lozano

In my experience with this School, I Do Not Recommend. If wasn’t for the instructor Rodrigo, which is a great guy and CDL instructor, I would leave the school on my first day, and I wanted to, he was the one that convinced me to stay. The administration made me fell that they care about you only until they get your money, after that there is no follow up. They advertised that you can get ready in 4 weeks. Absolutely NOT TRUE. I asked in person 4 times , and they told me Yes, it can be done most likely in 6 weeks, I believed and enrolled myself, but took more than 2 months. That’s because after they take my money , they said they have too many students and the schedule is full . And it doesn’t matter if you have a life outside the school ( which everyone has) and tell them that you can’t make in certain hour of the day, they still make the schedule as you are there just to do what they tell you to do. And they schedule you in the worse DPS to be tested , just because to call and schedule in a better one is to much work. That is my experience with the school. People that I’ve meet throughout the course are also unhappy. But if you don’t have any experience with trucks, have the time and pacience to be there 2 months at least, the instructor Rodrigo is the right guy. He makes you calm and confident about driving that huge truck.Elson De Oliveira

I'm not one to normally post negative reviews, however this needs to be put out there. I have not attended this institution, this is solely based off of the experience I have received after accepting one call. I made a grave mistake of agreeing to hearing this institution out on trying to get me to apply and attend. This was back in July/ early August. I heard out their entire spiel over what they offer, and after I told the recruiter I did not have the money to attend (nor would I in the near future) they began their consistent harassment. They have been constantly calling me from different numbers after I had blocked the initial number because the recruiter began calling me back to back to back after I declined her calls while I was at work, I now receive constant emails from DIFFERENT email addresses even after I unsubscribed from all emails and reported as spam. They are still reaching out to me to this day through text and new phone numbers. From what I have experienced based off of this is that this place just wants your money.Aden Russell
