20 Best Lpn Programs In San Francisco, CA (2022 Updated)

As a student of West Valley-Mission College District, I was able to attend this college for one class which was listed on the same transcript at Mission College. It is a nice campus and more of a suburban feel to it. The instructor was nice and helpful. If it was closer to my home, I would have gone to this campus for more classes.Bill Fong

They try to keep you here longer than necessary and do not give you the correct information to transfer. The science teachers are often terrible and actively try to fail students. It has become so bad that students are trying to get them fired. I have yet to meet someone who has met a counselor and not been given misinformation.Thea Queen

Went to watch/ help coach the Lady Vikings Alumni Softball game, & the new softball stadium is Awesome. It has all the Amenities that would make any other college jealous. It's Fantastic, & if you get a chance to catch a game, I hope you'll be impressed as I was!Jake McKenzie

My Business Administration Management class was amazing, I learned so much and I am carrying it with everywhere I go. Some people do not like it and so do. My instructor was so brilliant and I am so proud and thankful for him. With his support and all of SJVC workers, instructors, and all around everyone, I was able to get threw this pandemic we are still having and graduate with a 4.0 and being on the deans list. I am thankful for you all. Anyone who wants to go to college for Business or just in general, go to SJVC. They got you covered and they support your every step and decision. They help you become ready for excellency and, help you find a job that you will love and if that job doesn't work out for you they will go over and above to help you succeed and find a position you want and love. Again I want to thank you SJVC for everything and I will be seeing you again soon.Alisha Gonzales

I'm in the midst of the program and just love it!! The teachers and staff are fantastic and it feels like they have become my extended family. They care and want you to succeed. They offer many resources to help if you hit a road block. It's a very professional environment and they continue to train you on maintaining professionalism. I have learned so much in the 3 months I've been attending thus far and look forward to all the things I'll continue to learn. I'm thankful for SJVC, with their help my goals are becoming a reality.Jamie Carroll

Attending SJVC has been a wonderful experience for me. The overwhelming support, love and time that everyone spends on their students is immeasurable. My instructor Dr. Warman is an angel. He is hands on with his students and checks on us outside of class. He is very dedicated, supportive and relates to us in many ways. I appreciate his hard work and commitment to his students. Means the world to me. I am thankful to be apart of such an amazing school and I'm looking forward to getting my certificate.Krystal Mcguffie

Great school for a community college. I heard it’s the best around. Many students come from San Diego or from the North just to go here. They do a lot of things by hand (compared to other schools that do things electronically). The grounds are well kept. The parking is horrible during the beginning of the semester. More parking will be available as time comes. When you register for a class, you need to pay the same day or you get dropped. If you’ve dropped a lot of classes, the school might give you a hold because the classes are impacted. There is a daycare center. Parking permits and books are relatively cheaper than most.Aurora A

Good School. The campus is breath taking. Views of the ocean in the dining hall and surrounding areas. Tons of plants and trees all around, a great variety. Staff are helpful. Parking is a struggle, unless you don't mind parking in dirt lots but then it's not worth buying a parking permit. As for professors and academia, they could improve. Check professors ratings onlines some teach to only one or two learning styles. The classes are pretty easy. Maybe to easy.Michael

The Best Community College in San Diego !! The Environment Here Is Excellent…So Peaceful, Safe & Not To Mention Beautiful Surroundings. The Faculty & Professors Are Absolutely The Best..MiraCosta College Truly Cares About It's Students Sucess & Well Being…Definitely Planning on Getting Another Degree From MiraCosta. You Can Never Stop Learning!!Brian

Most professors are very kind. The school as reopened for in-person learning. The food and library are open. Staff, students, and visitors will need to fill out a health screen to be on campus. (I'd say take a screenshot to easily show the green check) The construction in the middle of campus is done and the beautiful campus is opened up. There's now some construction towards the back where the "temporary" classrooms where. Stay safe, have fun, and let's go mission!Loni Pacheco

I like the school, and the professors are great. All of the professors I have taken have been kind. However, the staff- Araceli the manager from the mission college bookstore is extremely rude. She lacks customer service skills. She will yell at you in front of the entire store to the point where everyone is staring. I have had two negative encounters with her, and I am a very polite person. I have kept my calm even after being completely humiliated by her.Samantha Cruz

Mission College has one of the most supportive and enthusiastic professors. I enjoy coming in to all of my classes because they engage me into their lesson plans. Not only that but they make sure that all of their students are understanding the assignments and offer alternative support systems for them to succeed in the classroom. Overall, Mission College is doing an incredible job in getting students prepared towards their future goals.Diego Jimenez

I'm a male, late 20's student at USF, and this has been my experience: 1) Rigorous – Having had a decent amount of life experience before coming here, I expected it to be easy. I was wrong. As someone who has always been good at math, the math classes were all challenging and required a lot of time and effort to do well in. The same goes for their science classes. I had attended another, easier university before coming here, and the difference was huge. 2) Political/Religious – Being a catholic university in the middle of a very liberal city, there is a good chance that someone will at some point try to shove religion or liberal politics down your throat, with a higher probability of the latter. As someone who doesn't care for politics, I'd prefer if they were left out of the classroom. 3) Small class sizes – All but one of my classes have been under 30 people, with many being less than 20. There are personal, 1-on-1 classes for music lessons in guitar, piano, vocals, etc. There are ample staff to handle any problem and any and all issues I've had were solved quickly. Compare this to a state school with class sizes in the 100's and there is really no comparison. 4) Expensive – With an annual price tag of about 50k, plus the astronomically high San Francisco cost of living, it is incredibly expensive to go to school here. I came here largely because I had a full-ride scholarship, and would have seriously considered other options if I didn't. 5) Amenities – There are several large libraries, excellent quiet study areas, private music rooms with instruments, and the campus itself is quite beautiful. With the tuition comes a free public transit card and gym access, at a very nice gym. 6) Overall quality – The quality of the school overall is very high. I can't say how it compares to the likes of top schools like Stanford, but many of USF's professors have come from those big name schools. The combination of talented, intelligent professors and personal 1-on-1 attention make it a great place to learn and study.Tyler D

I transferred out of the University of San Francisco real quick. The school is expensive, the education is ok but the material is too easy, and the social life is garbage unless you're undoubtedly liberal. The professors were very nice and helpful, but anyone from the administration building is out to get you, ultimately this place is just a big money pit. They'll find a way to fine you and take your money even if you haven't done anything wrong.Alex Douthat

Beautiful campus in the heart of the city but otherwise, a school filled with professors that don’t really care, poor accommodations for students with disabilities, extremely expensive, campus police focuses more on giving you parking tickets and people’s conduct rather than ensuring vehicles are not broken into. Did I mention is extremely expensive and they will not accommodate you well if you need to take time off for medical/family issues.Jake Bilyak

I am a student of the Bay Area Medical Academy and am happy to recommend the academy to all who intend to take their careers a step further. I joined this Academy in the Phlebotomy program and am very satisfied with the education and training that I have recieved from the academy. I owe my knowledge and skill about phlebotomy to this academy. Today I am on my way to accomplishing the milestones that lay before me but am confident that very soon not only will I be able to get a job in the medical field but will also be able to make a small difference to the lives of many people who suffer from various illnesses. Phlebotomy is an important and much needed skill and I'm happy and grateful to have acquired it from Bay Area Medical Academy. I saw a few one star reviews and decided to update my review. I wonder why are there some unhappy students. I only have good things to report. My instructor Ms. B did a good job of teaching us. The labs here are amazing!!! They never run out of supplies! From day one, the process was outlined really well. Karina at externship is simply amazing!!! A thorough professional. She's very quick to respond to requests and queries and takes into consideration your needs. Amazing, amazing, amazing!!! I feel sorry for the students who haven't had a fab experience but realize, it's an academy and externship is doing all they can to place as may of us as they can at locations of our choice. It's not an easy task by any standard!! Follow their process to the 'T' and it's a very smooth sail. Also look deep within you…. were you on your A game? Did you miss a step in the process? Lastly, do realize that this school is relatively affordable as compared to the others out there and that's kudos to the board at BAMA who've kept this into consideration while designing a program. Overall, I am super satisfied and will come to BAMA over and over again for adding on new skills! No two ways on that one. Thank you BAMA for taking such good care of me and the other students. Eternally gateful. For the skeptics out there, I am in no way benefited from this review. I believe in giving credit where it's due.Rajat Sethi

My experience with (bay area academy) I used lower case letters for the name of the school because I feel I had no help with employment, also when jobs were posted they said if you're interested feel free to send resumes to the school and they will assist students because they are affiliated with the companies. That never happened.The resume specialist did incomplete resumes for me more than once. I finished my program EKG Technician 2017 I am still not working. I went in again October 2018 to be assisted with resume still incomplete. I was prepared for a job fair in which bay area academy was to help me prepare for, again I was told I would be called to be assisted with the pre- employment They never got back to me until after it was over. Lots of students was unsuccessful in jobs. It helps to have your own resources and connections. If you have a great resume specialist in mind that could help to.Chauncey Boutte

I got lucky with having a great teacher! The training was very thorough, and the externship was very helpful. My only complaint is that BAMA GRAVELY MISLEAD me to believe that this process was short. The wait time for an externship is incredibly long, even if you can do a 2+ week one. And the state takes weeks to process your license once you are done with your paperwork. All in all, it took me about a year to get my license; and I had the luxury of doing the 3 week externship with a shortISH wait time.Melissa Fiato

What used to be a quality, albeit an expensive education at a quality institution has degraded into nothing more than a typical private college, pay your money get your degree. A lot of the instructors are less than knowledgeable about subjects that most persons in the same subject field at a four year degree level would know. Complaints against faculty that are legitimate and provable are met at first with a sweep it under the rug mentality and if a student continues to push the issue, with outright and blatant retaliation. Classes are changed with no regards to the syllabus, instructors are often unreachable, lacking in knowledge and less than professional. The old adage of you get what you pay for does not hold true for this less than stellar, so called educational institution.Compulsive Reviewer

It is quite there I been there, and it is nice and clean all the nurse and doctor are really good they help you a a Lots I will give them 100% with excellent job I will go again .Cheryl Woodruff

9-18-21: Visited the book store off of 30th Street and saw these very cool murals painted outside near the parking area. It really livens up the space!Ken Wong

My baby came here in the middle of the night after experiencing a febrile seizure that left her cyanotic and unable to breath. We came via ambulance. The ED team here was professional and compassionate. From the nurses to the on-call peds attending, everyone treated us with dignity and kindness. My daughter's nurse came at least every 3-4 minutes to make sure she was stable and that her needs were absolutely met without delay. I felt no pressure to have any invasive tests done for her. The nurse even asked the attending to speak with me when she noted I was not in an emotionally solid place before discharge. Dr. Mansour spent at least 10 mins focused on my well-being as a parent, a fellow doc, and working mom. Both he and our nurse spent a significant amount of time speaking with my husband who was waiting anxiously in the outside waiting room. Words cannot express how much this experience means to me. This was the most frightening night of our lives and we are so grateful for the way our baby was treated and the way that we, as parents, were reassured. While we are still all recovering emotionally as a family, we wanted to say "Thank you" to this team of healers.Daria y

Unbelievably amazing staff that makes you feel at home when you are not. My baby was only 2 months when she had to be flown from Santa Rosa Memorial Hospital. I had been up almost a week with less than 4 hours of sleep because my newborn was so sick. The nurses took care of my baby while I slept and they were amazing. Best hospital experience and we had to be there 10 days! The nurses and doctors were so supportive and me being a new mom needed all the support I could get. If there were a higher rating, UCSF definitely earned it. THANK YOU UCSFMaritza Iniguez

Hands down the greatest hospital I've ever been to I Had the best experience here. I will definitely will miss this place and all the nurses,doctors and therapist that helped me get better. A big thank you to them for the great Hospitality. I felt very welcomed,loved and cared for during my stay. If I could give them more then five stars I totally would. And if you ever end up at this hospital one day, don't be scared they'll take care of you just fine because like I said this is one of greatest hospital ever, hands down.Emerita Obet

The SJVC-online BSRT program is very user friendly when it comes to ones computer skills. There are some minor glitches here and there when it comes to assignment communication. I am very happy with my decision in choosing SJVC to obtain my Bachelor’s degree. If you are a busy Respiratory Therapist do not hesitate and sign up asap don’t waste another year thinking you are too busy. This program is set up for busy Respiratory Therapist to thrive in. Join the excellent tradition of SJVC Thunder Cat’s, LET’S GO!Daniel Nunez

I enrolled in the MBC certificate program in April of 2021 after loosing my job. I have my degree in medical billing but was doing retail. I was worried about doing straight online school, however the instructors and the adviser Ernie were and are amazing at what they do! I now have made the deans list twice already and have the knowledge I did not before! Thank you SJVC online!Erica Florendo

The staff of this school is pretty good with communication, especially the Dean. Whenever i had a problem he was fast to solve the issue. The experience was great. I did have to find my own extern site, but my career advisor was really supportive and helpful. I wanted to attend the Nursing program but no one has responded so I will probably not do it here. Its a good school!!Anita Ingram

I don’t write reviews often, but my experience at this campus had me frustrated enough to do so. We arrived at the campus because my mom was having a medical emergency. The security person / receptionist (who goes by the name Heidi) at the front door stopped my sister and my mom at the door because the new COVID protocol only allows for one visitor in the ER waiting room. Clearly, my mom is not in a condition to walk herself into the ER room. She did not offer assistance nor ask if we needed assistance – she is just blindly enforcing the “one person in the waiting room” policy. Then I arrived after I parked my car and when I entered, I was given the same “I don’t care about you” treatment. I called my sister to come out from the waiting room before I entered. Heidi was clearly not happy at her job and did not show any empathy. The family is under stress and Heidi is not helping the situation. I was very frustrated and snapped at her – yes, I apologize for my behavior. Then she called someone to bounce me out of the ER waiting room – the security guard said no visitors allowed in the ER waiting room – seriously, mind blown. This is clearly contradictory to the policy a few minutes ago. My mom hasn’t settled in yet, and I said I am not leaving until I know the status of my mom. However, the security guard showed no empathy and bounced me out of the waiting room – I suppose he is also just doing his job without understanding the situation. He asked me to call the ER front desk. I called and shortly after they allowed me back into the ER waiting room and I was able to explain the reason for the ER visit. Heidi said she is just doing her job. I understand but empathy goes a long way to help family members going through a difficult situation. It is not just a job and if the person is not invested in the customer experience, that person should not be there.Calvin Chou

Overall: 2 stars, wouldn’t recommend I’m 30 YO; Went to the ER with stroke-like symptoms. The worst part was that there really seemed to no communication across departments. The ER staff was hostile to the neurologist. Multiple different nurses asked me the same exact questions. Not a great experience. Reception: 0 stars The women kept INSISTING she needed the address of my pharmacy and my primary care. Absolutely needed both before they could provide care. When I said I didn’t know the address she started to belittle me, queue sarcastic remarks etc. She said unless I gave it to her I wasn’t leaving the reception so good luck. I asked for my husband who brought me to the ER. She said he wouldn’t be allowed to be with me because they didn’t have enough beds so they’d put me in the hallway and that was violating other patients’ privacy or some such BS. I started crying because I was scared (ya know, suspected stroke, in pain, dealing with a really nasty person). She said if I couldn’t pull myself together then they’d have to sedate me. ER staff: 4 stars Very friendly, but took them almost an hour to even have anyone talk to me. After the doc arrived things went really quickly. Cause ya know, when it comes to strokes time is of the essence. Neurologist & ER Lam MD: 5 stars Really helpful and compassionate.Nat Karauda

As a physician, I am very disappointed in the care I received here. I came in for what I suspected was an asthma exacerbation. All I needed was a long acting bronchodilator, maybe some cough syrup to help me sleep would have been nice, but they informed me that they would not be prescribing me with any medications and to continue to take the over the counter medications as well as my asthma inhaler that I had already been using (and were not helping me). My PCP office is closed for the holidays, which is the reason I came in the first place (I try not to self prescribe medications). The nursing staff was very kind, but the treating physician was incompetent at best. Having nursing staff wish me luck in treating my symptoms is not what I would expect from a medical institution. They then charged me $200 more than my listed copay, stating that’s what it came up as on my insurances website. I would stay away from this emergency department. As a quick summary, I paid $325 for them to tell me to continue taking the over the counter medications that I had already been taking.Shelby Bowman

I started the program with Ms Perez as my lab instructor and ended with Ms Patrice. I'm older, laid off from a 25yr career and didn't know what to do with my life let alone where to start. Ms Perez and Ms Patrice made learning so easy, fun and amongst all, they made it interesting and made me feel excited to keep attending. The process at Unitek is easy to complete due to the communication level the staff has with their students. My career advisor, Ms Lisa is great! Ms Lisa Literally held my hand through the exiting process, kept in touch throughout my externship, made sure I was staying sane throughout the process of going to extern, working nights and taking care of my family. Walked me through my application process for a job, held my hand through the interview process, kept in touch throughout the whole process until I got an offer letter!!!! My experience with everyone at Unitek was great, but my experience with Ms Lisa is one that needs to be recognized!!!!Chris Fusi

I had a wonderful experience with Ms. Patrice my laboratory instructor and Ms. Perez. Both have mentored me & helped me become the MA I am today. Ms. Lisa Haynes in Career Services is a hard worker & goes to bat for her students. I received a job offer during my externship, that was too good to pass up as a new grad, thanks to her guidance. I recommend taking your MA in the day class as the PM class lacks structure & professionalism with one particular teacher…that is the only reason I left off a star. The school itself has a fully functioning lab for clinical experience, is safe, clean, holds dinners or gives treats for student morale and tuition is less than other schools in the Bay Area.Jennifer Wills

Instructors are professional with vast and extensive work experiences. They are genuinely caring and helpful for the sucess of the student and learning environment. Each department provided substantial support that made going through the program easier. Courtney and Rachel with Career Services gave us the confidence and tools to help make the transition from student life into the working world smooth.Gigi Tamayo

This December, it will be two years since I ended up at UCSF PARNASSUS after waking at 3am feeling like I was dying, vomiting copious amounts of blood. The team of doctors who had my case were amazing! They didn’t think I’d make it the first two days. I didn’t want to live. I kept trying to write, “lLet me die!@ but was so weak they couldn’t even read my writing. I tried so hard to write but couldn’t get my hands to do what my brain was saying and I was intubated. I spent two months there before I was transferred to a transitional care facility. I cried when I left. I’d made friends with the nurses and didn’t want to leave them. My feet and lower calves were so swollen, I couldn’t stand, let alone walk. I am still in the nursing home and still can’t stand or walk but, that’s a whole different story! Today, I am like a new person. I want to live! I want to get out of this wheelchair and I desperately want to get back with my sweet Siamese, the love of my life. I have worked so hard and each day I’m closer to leaving. I’ve lost so much weight, I’m so much stronger and started PT again last week. The food at UCSF is varied and you have a menu to choose from! I can’t say enough wonderful things about UCSF. They are well run, organized, and compassionate. Their health care workers are astounding! I wish I could thank each and everyone of them in person!Nancy Holohan

Great for medical care, and you'll need it. Because their billing system is unable to get things straight. This means you'll get massive bills that should have gone to your insurance company. Of course, UCSF billing won't have taken the time to actually talk to your insurance company to understand what was filed incorrectly — they'll just bill you directly. Next you'll spend hours on the phone having stressful discussions about why you're getting a massive bill and why they haven't had an actual human conversation with your insurance company to sort out the error — even after you've talked to your insurance company and then also to UCSF to indicate the billing was done incorrectly. Will they ever talk? Who knows! Then UCSF says they'll call your insurance company, but they won't. They also won't call you back when they say they will. It's a fun surprise and you'll enjoy the theme park like excitement, except this is life and death of your finances. All this will lead to higher blood pressure, so you'll need more medical care, which is also great for UCSF — it's a good thing you've found a fantastic hospital. The cycle repeats indefinitely and will spiral out of control until you die. Their problematic billing issues have happened to us multiple times, and it's sure to happen to you, too. Good luck, have fun, and die early!David Diez

I truly hope this review reaches the correct person/people. Currently, if a patient at UCSF passes away, their MyChart account is instantly rendered inaccessible. A patient’s MyChart account holds almost if not all of a patient’s medical history/information and is extremely useful for patients and relatives of patients. For example, if a parent’s child passes away, the parent no longer has access to their child’s MyChart account whatsoever. This puts even more strain on the parent/family member to get information they want and or need from the MyChart account. I understand that this is most likely due to HIPPA laws/legal reasons, but I feel that parents and family members would somewhat appreciate being able to access their loved one’s account for at least one month prior to it becoming inaccessible especially if the parent/relative has established proxy access to the account. This would give the parent/relative enough time to gather the information they need from the account before it is closed. Again, i hope this will reach the right person so that maybe some kind of arrangement could be made to change this. Thank you.anonymous person

Study! You have to take it serious. Show up, participate, study, study again. I graduated in 2019 Dec. There are some things that I wasn't clinically prepared for once I was on my own. So be assertive when doing clinicals and learn. If you drive be prepared to pay for parking everyday at campus! We had validations but it still cost about 5 dollars. The teachers I had were very knowledgeable and they change throughout the year. Also the teachers gave me references and even job recs.. When I say knowledgeable I mean in the field and nursing stuff not on teaching lmao!! I didnt give five 5 stars because they need a guidance counselor, I dont like one of the receptionist, one of my teachers was very brash, I'm missing some clinical experience, parking, and 3 people I know forsure didn't graduate or get licensed because they couldn't pass ATI. Ati is an online tutoring program.Rickel Allen

Good college and very helpful education to succeed and pursue your career. Graduated as an MA from Angeles college, CPR certified, and working on getting my phlebotomy license. Currently going to start the LVN program, couldn’t be more excited & nervous but Angeles college really helped me learn more about the medical field. Came in school without knowing anything to learning a lot, thanks to the best instructor Ms. Lopez! A very kind, patient and awesome person. Thanks to her I’ve learned so much and I can’t wait to learn much more in the LVN program. Great staff! If you have any questions or concerns they’re always there to help you in whatever you need, especially Ms.Eva and Claudia 🙂 one of the most wonderful people you’ll meet. Ready and excited to see what new things I’ll be learning in this program, thank you Angeles College!Kelyn Bermudez

Coming to Angeles college was an amazing experience. The staffs are really nice and Ms Lopez is an amazing teacher, everyone there are really helpful and they are willing to work with you on making it an amazing experience. I remember if I ever had any doubts or I needed help they're always willing to lend a hand. MS Lopez was an amazing teacher, she was my MA/phlebotomy teacher every time I had trouble or I didn't understand anything, she would always work with me and help me understand the material. Everyone who works in the front office are really amazing staffs. They help you set up your resumes, they explain how financial aid works, they help you work out payments, they also help with job search. It really is an amazing school.Kathy Ibarra

There are no longer any actual doctors working in the San Francisco office. I previously worked with a great dermatologist but he left so I planned to see a different dermatologist in the same office but he also left shortly thereafter. When I went in for my appointment, they sent a physicians assistant in who told me I should get Botox injections every 4-6 weeks (this was after the actual doctor I had been seeing suggested 3-4 months). When I called and complained and asked if the next time I came I could see a doctor, the person on the other end told me they had no more actual doctors in the San Francisco office and then forwarded me to a weird voicemail without telling me they were ending the call.A. P

Berman botched my lips. I’ve been getting them done for 15 years now and I never was in so much pain during the appointment and then the bad results afterward. Dr. Berman, being the owner of these clinics you would expect he would be the best. He’s the worst. I also had another incident with him in where we spoke on the phone when I called the emergency line bc of I got an injury related to my Botox injections. He yelled at me and was arguing with me about semantics while I was crying thinking I was having a stroke. He has a horrible attitude and is the least empathetic. I would never let this man go near me.Ashley J

EDIT: down to 4 stars. 5 stairs for medical & professional services. 3 stars for the unpleasant front-desk attitude and unfriendliness from Tatiana. A well-run office requires a great experience all around. Unfortunately I’ve had to revise my review for the office because of the support staff. The person (name: Tatiana) at the desk was training someone new. All the much more reason to leave a good impression and be a good role model for the new employee. Unfortunate that this has to reflect on the billable staff. Visit date/time was Thursday, July 28 at around 4pm.Jeffrey Miner

I have dealt with Rep's twice over the past year. In both instances the persons I encountered were encouraging and positive, this is important because this process of aging does not come easilyTimothy Gallagher

Marvelous staff and contribution to humanity. A life saving service. Bless the staff and volunteers; Annette, Manny, Raymond, Lisa, Harvey, Michelle, Mary, Katie, Walt and so many more!Claire F. Shepard

People at the Insttute on Aging are always courteous and polite. It is a good resourse to call when trying to identify other resources you need.Dora Alfaro

This is my second time researching out to UNITEK about their LPN and RN program. … And I still have not heard anything back. Called around 8ish and left a message for Karli Samuel, apparently she called and i did not answer, which is funny because I've been waiting for UNITEK to call me since last week about my request for more info and not 1 phone call. Carrington here I come. I was referred by a friend..what a pointless referral if they don't reach out to you! The front office girl was too happy but all to ready and quick to rush me off the phone instead of actually helping me!Disappointed Horrible Services

I recently graduated from Unitek College. I would recommend Unitek College, because they have very knowledgeable instructors including career services and other staff members. I received clear guidelines through out my entire course. They care about their student’s success and support them as much as needed. I had hardship at the end of my course with my schedule. They were very happy to accommodate my need in just one business day. I appreciate all your teamwork Unitek members. I can not think of better school then Unitek.Ino khas

Thank you Unitek team and everyone that was involved in my education and journey through out my Nursing school . I want to give Special thanks to Professor Baab for bringing out and shaping to the Nurse I am today you’re an Amazing Professor . Also special thanks to Naveed He’s the backbone of this company and always was there to answer any of my questions. Last person Kellie, she’s amazing and always willing to help anyone who needs jobs referral or resume input. Thank you All Anaana Davila

I graduated at Vasco Career College as a Medical Assistant 2021 and i would like to say that im so honored to have been apart of this college. They have the best knowledge of the programs to their best of abilities. The teachers and program director are super helpful they so motivating and inspiring to help you to reach your goals and always working with you. I’m so happy to be a certified MA from VCC which currently has given me a job at an amazing clinic and with all the skills and knowledge I have been taught from this college I’m now able to move forward and have an awesome experience in everything in the health care setting. I highly recommend you to do the same and trust you to will have no regrets. I have learnt so much and they have really inspired me towards my achievements and never gave up on me. Thank you Vasco Career College for all that you do you guys are the best.Bianca Samone

Vasco Career College was a great experience! It was an honor to be a student of Mrs. Dru. Not only is she the director of Vasco Career College college, but also the instructor and taught for pharmacy technician class! I’ve had my fair share of struggle in her class but Mrs. Dru was very helpful and motivating. She helped me throughout the whole process from start to finish and made sure I did everything right, from passing the class, to externship, and to applying for the board of pharmacy. I learned a lot within the time frame for the class. I totally recommend this place if you are looking to get in to the pharmacy field. Mrs. Dru also offers other classes that I’m sure are great and well worth it! Thank you to Vasco Career College for helping and guiding me to where I am in my career now. Thank Mrs. Dru! – PPamela Hollon

I completed a pharmacy technician program at Vasco Career College in November 2017. I have tried to study on my own for quite some time. In the end there still were some areas I struggled with. After completion of this program, I can tell that my knowledge improved dramatically. Ms. Drusella is a very competent instructor who is very knowledgeable and is able to present material to her students in a way that is easy to understand. She takes her time to explain everything and ensures that her students are not left with any unanswered questions. I am very glad I took this course here since now I feel confident and prepared for my PTCB examination and my future career. It's well worth the money and time I invested. I would definitely recommend this school to anyone.Viktoriia Bernier

The best English school in the U.S. I have been studying with AAE since my lower intermediate level and I have finished the advanced level. I am more than ready to start my new chapter in the university. AAE teachers and staff are very thoughtful and take good care of everything. Teachers in each level will help you improve your English in person and of course I'm addition to coordinating several group discussions which is good for real world situations. I always have a problem in my writing, reading and grammar. These skills are required when you have Toefl exam. However, it is not my obstacle anymore, to attend a good university or working in the U.S. I have prepared my English well with AAE. I think I will do very well when I study in a university. Furthermore, you can practice English with international friends around the world. I got to know them from the schools. We hang out and share our culture through foods, music and life style. You will never get bored in this school. I am thankful for having awesome teachers who helped my growth. They do not give you only knowledge from the book but also life lessons. I feel like this school gave me such a great opportunity in my life and as a second home when I have to stay far away from my family back in my country. If you are looking for a good school and a good environment to study abroad, I highly recommend American Academy of English. You will not be disappointed.pannika intep

I continue to study at this great school, I enjoy studying here almost 2 years. VERy kind, helping, understanding STAFF. I really want to thank our dear Daniel teacher. Over the course of 6 months, I have learned a lot from you. Thanks to you and your inspiring, interesting and motivating activities that I look forward to every day, I have made every effort to prepare for each lesson. I have become a diligent student again. All your lessons will be remembered for a long time by their new teaching methods. all your knowledge, great teaching and life experience, teacher mentor skills, as well as your patience and flexibility, compassion and your tireless positive, and all this together helped us learn, speak fluently, analyze our opinions, decisions and finally, Improve our knowledge in English .Oxana Zhambalova

AAE is probably the best school for ESL students. If you plan to go there, do everything to get to the advanced level so you can attend Bali's class. Among all the ESL instructors I've had so far, I can only say that she's the best. Her class is very well organized and she uses great films and songs to teach vocabulary and grammar. I spent two semesters in her class and both my spoken and written English improved a lot. Bali is not only a great teacher but also a very kind, considerate person. I remember whenever any one of her students, including myself, had personal problems, Bali provided her help. So if you plan to go to the AAE in order to study English SL, just ask for Bali's class.Mohamed Mahjoub

Super late on my review. I took the 5-week EMT course In November. They were great on lecturing and teaching the material I could tell that a lot of them are passionate about teaching. However, the disconnect with me was from them wanting to be like the “Military.” Being a “Military Veteran” myself I found some of these tactics to be unnecessary for this course. They put too much focus on trying to instill discipline, order, and demanding respect even though they already had that lol. I kind of found it insulting for civilians who did not have to endure the things that I had to endure while serving to even be allowed to do this. There was only one person I know of who served which was Brian. I am not sure what Basic training handbook or video they watched to do this but, it was unnecessary as far as what I call “verbal abuse” and made the environment negative at times. The teamwork and the ethics part of it sure that’s fine but a lot of the stuff verbally unnecessary. Wasn’t looking for anyone to hold my hand and baby me thorough the process it’s just common sense to speak to everyone with respect. This would be ok in fire because they have actual chiefs and officers with rank but, like come on now everyone was an emt. I would advise anyone with any PTSD or struggling with mental health issues to think twice before coming here. If you are someone who can handle the tactics, they do then I would recommend yes go for it being that the instructing part was very good. All in all, I graduated the program and scored the highest on our written final and learned a lot in the program. Andre was one of the best instructors. He definitely did everything he could to help everyone. This review wasn’t made to speak negatively about anyone but, more to shine light for people who struggle with other things. Have a blessed day people!tamisha mccullough

While researching careers, to compliment my poker schedule, I was looking for something community service oriented, with schedule flexibility and physical. Thankfully I discovered firefighting! Step 1 was to become an EMT so I googled accelerated EMT programs and decided on Project Heartbeat(5 weeks). This is HANDS DOWN a 5 star top of the line course! For my class, there were 3 main instructors: Rick(Lecture), Eric(Testing) and Brian(Skills). Rick is incredibly knowledgeable, charismatic and the most genuinely caring teacher I've ever had. Eric might seem like a big Korean badass but he's a really nice guy and pushed me to be better every week. Assistant Brian would stay late after classes or come early before class to ensure every student who wasn't confident in their skills would get extra help. Rick, Eric, and Brian created an immersive learning environment where the entire class bonded and quickly became a family. I wouldn't have been able to get such a great experience anywhere else. Thank you Project Heartbeat, what a ride! 5-star rating based on the following criteria: Curriculum: [10/10] -Great stories and examples in the lecture -Every important topic was covered -Different examples for both visual and auditory learners Instructor Availability: [10/10] -Every instructor made it a point to be available to help Environment: [10/10] -Immersive -Productive Job Placement: [10/10] -Recruiters flock to this top-rated program -Had 2 verbal job offers before the class was overKevin Kwan

I was recommended this EMT program through a friend and was super hesitant since its a 5 week program, normally taught during a 16 week period. I’ve never taken such an accelerated course which made me a little anxious. However the instruction for this course was something very different than what I would have expected and in a good way! You’ll have to see for yourself. I’m more of a visual learner and I need material simplified (especially from a 1500 page book! sheesh!) so instructors Brian and Hidoink where phenomenal during lectures! They both share a lot of real world stories to explain topics which help retain info. They will help you succeed as long as you put in the work and don’t quit. Never quit! Most of the instructors also offered to give up their days off to tutor which was super nice of them, take advantage of that if they offer. Put in the work and you’ll succeed. Also shout out to Taylor, Gino, Jeff, Andres and all the others, y’all were amazing 12/10 experience that I will never forget. See y’all out there!Justin Da San Martino

I give this clinic a 5/5 rating. My counselor Melanie Byers is the best thing to ever happen to my mental health; she’s kind, wise beyond the scope of other counselors; and has almost a sixth sense when it comes to the healing she provides during our monthly 1 hour talks which I actually look forward to which is not my usual sentiment when it comes to meetings. The reception desk workers whom check in the patients, as well as the dispensary nurses, know each patient by name and are friendly and jovial. Herb, a longtime staff member guides the flow of patients and directs the patient traffic with the patience of a saint on the rare occasions when there is a line of waiting patients. There’s almost never a line, I’m in and out in under 5 minutes. The intake process is fast and they dose you the same day. The location is at the top of the BART CIVIC CENTER STATION, in front of a MUNI stop, so they are close to public transit lines with ease of access that is practically effortless, the service provided within is icing on an already delicious cake.Justin Yun

I’ve been to several methadone clinics around the Bay Area, even other BAART clinics and this one is by far the best one I’ve. Ever been to. They are extremely professional and actually want to be there to help you. They will do whatever you need to do to get your life back. Also, being that it’s in the middle of civic center it’s a great reminder of where this WILL AHEAD IF YOU CONTINUE ON THE WRONG PATH. I’m very grateful for all the people that work there, from the security guards, the people that check you in the dosing nurses and the councilors. They don’t make hella money doing this job and they genuinely care about how you’re doing.Ashley “TROUBLE!!” Blaylock

I was impressed with the entire operation at the Market Street BAART. The clinic is run smoothly, with a culture of support and shared intentions. My experience couldn't have been farther from the sum of my fears from all of the stigma surrounding opioid treatment. Everyone is putting in effort to support people in need. For example, the staff had held a clothing drive for the patients, and the patients were very grateful to the staff members for the clothes. They kept saying thank you, over and over again. So here I am saying it again – a million thanks for supporting our community!Lucy R.
