20 Best Lpn Programs In Seattle, WA (2022 Updated)

"Technology"? I can't even do my homework in class!? The cpu keeps freezing up! Lost my assignment in the Microsoft Cloud ON CAMPUS! Technical support is one overweight guy always eating at his cpu. I had to wait until the end of the quarter to meet with an advisor to sign up for classes I didn't want. Now I got a teacher that I didn't want. Got referred to get help with housing, the guy at Mary's Place never called me back. It's more like a outdated community college. The campus security running around there think they the real police. Several minority students told me they were followed around campus by them. Covid hit and I'm getting pressured by a rude narcissist teacher to come to the school to withdrawal from class. Then when I was trying to get back into school nobody answered a voicemail or email. Only owed the school around $400, got a collections bill for $1,000+. The King County Metro bus doesn't come by the school that much. Your definitely going to car transportation. The staff is mostly nice & helpful for the most part. But some things need to be changed.Andrae Jones

I am a 55 year old returning student who attended a " Little Ivy " college in my first time around. My prep school was rated #3 in the US by Forbes.I have enjoyed some of the best educational opportunities that the US can offer. I have surprisingly found most of the instructors here to be very dedicated and qualified. Some stand out, some are better than others, but none are lemons.They compare fairly well , within reason, of the instructors I had at my elite schools.BTW, because the program I am taking is in high demand in the private sector, the government provides extra money for financially qualified students. I will go through my six quarter program at about 20% of the cost.I had no idea that the money is out there if you take the time to look. Do yourself a favor and get off the couch. I should have done this years ago.Fred Farkle

The building is nice, the atmosphere is nice. Most teachers are great and would like to see you be successful. The advising office is my least favorite because I am always continually being given incorrect information, information in which is very important to have. The advisors are sometimes very hard to get a hold of and some do not get back to you, and when they do they don't give you the information you needed. I have wasted a whole day and gas to go to appointments that I could have just gotten the information over the phone, or through email, the front office is touch and go as well. Other than that the school is nice, I'd recommend it, but make sure you get the correct information the first time and not when it's too late.Liz Brown

This school is so far behind. You can barley navigate to important information (which there is little of) online, staff has sent me in so many different directions that I can’t even keep track. They haven’t processed my loan even though it’s been turned in for two months before the deadline, classes have started, I don’t have my books and they haven’t approved my funding so my classes still aren’t paid for. This is so frustrating for anyone trying to start a career path. It’s so unhelpful. I can’t believe how much help they advertise when there is actually little to none And to mention they tried putting me in all the wrong classes for the major I’m going for!!!!Samantha Brock

Instructors are usually amazing. Face a lot of microagressions from entry level staff like the new barista and other cafeteria employees but that doesn’t cancel out the teachers who want you to succeed and truly love the subjects they teach. The staff in the library usually make my day. Financial aid staff can be rude, I would say it’s good to have someone advocate for you if you get sick during the quarter to not deal with the different personalities you can meet. There are amazing classes and the campus is a beautiful place to be.Susana Naranjo-pelayo

A great place to restart my life. I am learning so much it's like drinking water from a fire hose. Ceramics is my favorite right now, but most of my classes are in Information Technology Services. I will be getting an Associate's in Applied Science in IT Services in the summer of 2017. Instructors are all enthusiastic and able. Courses are offered for many fields.Chugosh

I love learning, so most of the classes I took at BC were pretty good. Nothing was too difficult. Most teachers were great, especially Nutrition and CPR/Health Safety. There is however, one teacher you should avoid at all costs. Her name is Leanne Kunders (Leed) in the Allied Health department. I watched her break the law with respect to disabled students, which was appalling. She makes up her own rules w regards to laws. She is a mediocre teacher who blames her students for her problems. She retaliates against students who ask for their disability rights. She clearly can't teach and has no patience for any of her students who ask questions because she doesn't know the answer. Her tests are full of mistakes and mispellings and then she'll tell the class how important it is to be detail oriented. Yeah, if only I had someone to be my mentor and an example. Not my instructor, of course. She'll front load a class for no good reason with tons of meaningless work, then leave the last month practically empty. Very poor organization. And then she'll tell students they need to be more organized. Very funny! She's a sorry excuse for a role model. Do the opposite of what she does and you'll be ok. Lastly, Leanne will whine for half the class about her problems instead of teaching. BC must be really hard up for instructors to take this sorry excuse for a teacher. Yawn! No, she's not even close to rising to the level of a professor.Jennifer M

—Love this college!!— Very good design program and amazing internship after all the trouble I went at another small school. Initially I started at Art Institute of Seattle but they accepted me without asking for any essay or portfolio which was already unusual. Then advisors started disappearing from the office until school announced that closing permanently in the middle of the quarter. I was terrified to lose my F1 Visa status. Last person left in International Office told me to leave the country within 14 days if I can't get enroll in another college. I couldn't believe it was happening for real in the US. But Bellevue College saved me. They accepted me in a few days and transferred all my immigration records within grace period. I was able to get an amazing internship this summer and company just offered me a permanent job. Forever grateful to my advisors and great professors!Kim Su

I strongly detest private education with instructors reading out of textbooks which certainly does occur at this institution, however, the majority of professors provide the state curriculum mixed with their own style making for an enjoyable experience. Organic chemistry, Psychology, Biology/Microbiology all get special shoutouts for their dedication and commitment to excellence providing the highest caliber of education while also being accessable after hours through email or on-site locations. Pre-req classes as always are definitely a scam in American education. All 100 level classes not applicable for your degree are a waste of very precious resources and unreturnable time. Online courses are as expected although I do enjoy that online requires much more work. I love studying extra and being challenged to accomplish more from less. Thank you for the online curriculums offered.Conner OSRS

So far I have had a just ok experience here at SPSCC. First starting with the financial aid office. We are almost three weeks into the quarter and they just now processed my awards (grants that is) but it is sitting and hasn’t been disbursed yet. Every time I have inquired about it I am given the excuse of their new ctclink system. We have got to get it together! People that apply for and receive financial aid and grants need these to help get through school. They are eligible for a reason and that is because they are low income. So taking an excessive amount of time of sending students their financial aid puts a damper on not only their learning but also their living situation. This is effecting the students and the students only. Also, the bookstore listed a book for my class as required so I purchased it a week before the quarter. Come to find out the Professor is using two completely different books. Had to make another trip to the campus to return it which was an inconvenience since I’m all online classes. Then the two books needed the bookstore does not carry. It’s been challenge after challenge here and this is just the beginning.glenda fox

I attended this college for exactly five months, and I decided to leave because I lost interest in the classes that I took, and I didn't have the interest to have a major career. An education for myself would have been very important, and I had the capability to work with subjects if I was committed to the work that I was doing, but I didn't have the interest, so I decided to be a writer instead. I also left the college because I was treated carelessly by many students, and I was treated the same way in high school, so I didn't want to continue spending more time in an environment where I would continue to be disregarded. If you are committed to getting an education, then it is all a matter of interest for what your career is, and it's up to anyone for what they want best, but even if I don't have a high education, I still have moral education from my potential to be a writer. I do recommend this college for anyone, but I hoped that the students would have been more sincere and polite, then I would have stayed there.Colby Kanter

I attended a few classes here a long time ago. I needed to get the transcripts rather quickly because the deadline for University admissions is closing in. When I visited the office the lady that helped me proceeded to treat me like dirt. I asked if the document would be in an envelope and if they needed the address I was sending it to and she proceeded to mansplain transcripts ("this is the paper its going to go on after I feed it into the printer"). From the perspective of someone who works in higher education…if I were a student and had to be mansplained to every time in needed to speak to registration/financial aid/cashiering…I would complain to her boss. The lady that checked me in was wonderful though!Amanda Crespo

Such a terrible experience trying to just consider registering, that I am now no longer interested. I called to make an appointment with an academic adviser. I was put on hold for 20 mins without ever speaking to a human or given any other option. After 20 minutes, I hung up and called the main number. She said, "well, I can't do much, but they have direct number I can transfer you to." So, she transferred me. To some random faculty member in some department I had no interest in. That person was very nice and told me she'd walk my request over, and have someone call me back from advising. They did call me back to set up an appointment, which we did. However, I was driving and couldn't write down the details, so she assured me she would email me all the info. Of course, I never received the info. So, I just called to cancel my appointment. The overwhelming impression I got was one of incompetence, inefficiency, and that the right had didn't know what the left had was doing. Oh, and it's a half hour wait on the phone to even speak to the right hand. I was a new student, contemplating studying here. But after the way I was dealt with on the phone on my very first interaction, I now have ZERO interest in attending, and will continue my search for a school that has its act together, and knows what they are doing. That would seem to be a better indicator of a quality education.Healing Path Thai Massage

I have had nothing but Positive Experiences since I have been at Edmonds Community College for the last 4 months now. I am going through the Workfirst Program at the Gateway Bldg. They had me go through the Solid Foundations Course & a College Sucess course. before I started my summer courses of Math, English; Critical Writing, & another 2-credit Write class. All of the Instructors that I have had are amazing, they helped me in every aspect of figuring out what I wanted to take by different surveys & then they help to walk you through getting your all of your Financial Documents in order & get registered for all of my classes over the next 2-years while I am working on my Degree. Very Diverse Community & everyone is so nice & helpful.Angel Boekelman

Your Education has gone elsewhere. Programs last year were changed invalidating most of my credits. Classes they used to offer in Math and Sciences are no longer being offered despite having brand new facilities just built. It is going through a strategic pivot from a transfer and foreign exchange college to a "social improvement" center. Those that took classes here should probably sue to get their money back.Marked Ashamed (Marinealver)

Taking part in the cyber security program, I can say that I had a great experience. My advisor (Esther Salem) was experienced and knew exactly what she was doing. From all of my teachers I only have had two which I would not recommend (of which I will not name names). Only thing that I did not enjoy was the lack of clubs that existed for student recreation. During my first year there was an anime club, but it fell apart when the leader graduated. For my last year and a half a few friends and I started the unofficial DnD club which eventually became a official club my last semesterJoseph

They place is very clean lots of parking lots of areas of study for your degree you can also do high school studied there and when you graduate for high school you would also graduate with your two year degree to move on to a four college or be able to start a job in your area of studyIIYeet “Tammy” Lord

Some of the teachers are there for you, and actually teach you, and others are not. I'd say 50% which is not a good college reputation. As well as making you take classes you don't need for your credits towards your career of choice. Overall a bad rating.Rebecca Blind

Worst college experience. The clinical advisor is incapable of her job and pushed the clinical to a future start even though the CPR card takes one day to get but she decides to push it a whole week when we should have been done the day the quarter finished. The phlebotomy instructor is really rude and disrespectful of students and makes students not feel comfortable to speak up and if to ask a question she acts like your a child completely rude. I don't recommend coming to this college. Also the virtual graduation was upsetting to know I had sent my information and sent a photo and not even be on it. Really makes me unhappy to know I spent money and time to be treated as a student like trash and not get acknowledged for the hard work and time put into trying to succeed. I won't want to come back to this college for the at most disrespectful people.Ryan

This is a terrible college. It’s like pulling teeth to get anyone to email you back about important, time-sensitive information, and you get the runaround when they do. This happened when I was applying for admission, and is currently happening now that they’ve denied me, because they are incompetent, the certificate I worked so hard for. Because they changed the numbers on some math courses, they all of a sudden don’t count towards my certificate, and they lost the official transcript that I sent from my former college, and are denying my transfer credit. What a waste.Jacquelyn Crumpler

Man i had trouble here. Not only did they give me the wrong classes but it turns out i never had FAFSA to cover my classes. And they make me pay for them two years after I left the college. Thank goodness i never continued to study here. I know they have a lot of students to manage but still if you were able to catch that years later then why not then? I knew something was wrong here. Overall i'm glad i went to another school that was able to get me on track.NO SPAM NO SPAM

My alma mater, as of 1975. I considered it an optimal learning opportunity, and (at the time frame considered…) a quite reasonable investment. The only 'drawback' (at the time) being the regular 'business of life' [and unfortunately as well, death – Cancer, in Family]. Exigencies are unavoidable, and need to be addressed a.s.a.p., and can cascade into other further nets of decisions. I certainly did enjoy my stay there (the area, as well as the great University !). There was just never enough time to fully explore the many opportunities. If only one could repeat some experiences, possibly change some choices, and avail others… but then one could add that reflection to many things. If you have the 'wherewithal', it is highly recommended, not merely by myself, but many others. An EXCELLENT UNIVERSITY!!Lahn Moore

Amazing Geology program, filled with the some of the most intelligent members of the field. Professors legitimately care about student success and the curriculum is top notch. Additionally, the field trips are all well planned and very educational. The variety of geology in the area and the pacific northwest allows students to easily see many of the geologic features that most people have to travel for. Very high standardsKurt Carpenter

Fantastic learning environment! Lots of fun classes and great teachers. The town Rocks and the outdoors are even better! Pitch a tent, run in to classes and work, head back to camp all spring long. Plus, it got me into one of the best companies on the planet, PCL. With two Majors and two Minors I couldn’t get enough! Enjoy CWU!Pcl Employee

Difficulties with one of the financial assistance representative. She wasn’t very helpful and was rude. My daughter completed all the necessary financial aid paperwork weeks ago including myself turning in the IRS and financial documents needed for her to apply for financial aid. Jordan, the financial assistance staff wasn’t very willing to answer questions and ended up hanging up on my daughter never to answer the phone again. She received an email indicating she didn’t meet the deadline to begin school this quarter. She had turned in all documents multiple times. We escalated the situation to leader ship and the financial aid issues were quickly resolved and my daughters account was placed on hold so that she is able to get into school this quarter. After more consideration, we have chosen to pursue education at Seattle Central CC, this school is not the right fit for us. We all have to remember that when we are taking roles and employment and helping the community and serving others, we truly have to feel that way inside. We really have to have empathy and compassion and love for others and working a role where people are going to need your help and ask questions. It takes patience. And if you don’t have that, maybe you should consider a different career. Seattle Central community college has taken my daughter on and she really enjoyed her teachers and her class and I think that was the best choice.Aisha Pleasant

I attend Everett Community College online. I love the school but the financial aid disbursements are a pain. I am pleading with the school to please offer direct deposit to ALL of their students. Today I had to drive around to cash the paper check they send to out of state students. My bank could not cash it immediately because it would be a two day wait for verification purposes. Well, I need my money today to purchase my books. I went to 6 different locations to try to cash the check. They all said they were unable to verify the check with the school. At Speedy Cash, one lady was looking at me like I was a thief. She has never heard of Everett Community College or a disbursement check. I just sighed, grabbed my check and walked out. Finally, my last stop was Ace Cash Express and they gave me no hassle but charged me $80 to cash it. I left the house at 10:00 am and did not arrive home until after 1:00 p.m. In all it took me almost three hours to try to cash a paper check and deposit it into my bank card. So much time wasted trying to cash a paper check.Val Sc.

I would not recommend this school to anyone especially international students. They created new policy that new international students need to live in the dorm that will be finished in Fall quarter at least 2-3 quarters. (EXCEPT students who are under 18, have relatives or legal parents here, or disable). I don't see any good reason for this policy. Why do you have to force us to stay in your expensive building? If it cheaper than other apartments around there, I wouldn't be offended. Their expensive classes are not worth it. The staffs are good but some are not, they are not professional. If I can turn back time, I wouldn't waste my time and money here.Phanwara R.

The health center is the most unprofessional medical staff I've ever encountered. They cancelled an appointment I made several weeks in advance on the day of. When I tried to reschedule, they couldn't get me in until the following month because priority goes to "yeast infections and things like that." I asked if I could have someone else's appointment in the event they cancel, at which point the woman on the phone got audibly irritated, like this was an extravagant and far-fetched request, and the call ended. Fast forward and I'm getting a call back from an upset nurse practitioner for the sole purpose of squabbling with me over the previous phone call and who had no intention of getting me an exam. Completely asinine behavior from someone who is supposed to be a health care professional.Ben Fitzger

I'm getting my masters are there in Computer Science. While it is not as intense as I would have expected it to be, it is definitely a great second choice to UW if you are looking for in person classes and are interested in pursuing a PHD. It is worth noting that the UW Professional Master's in Computer Science will not help you get a PHD. The lack of a project or research will block you from PHD programs.Soren Ludwig

I live only 3 blocks from here and it's got rare plants so I like that since I need a cane to go places. Too bad a Street goes through campus so they got a skybridge that goes to third floor so you have to use steps or elevators on both ends. Otherwise so nice campus.Update: New campus store now moved to 12th and Madison Street. Actually off campus. I miss old one but it is more junk there.Victor K. Panda

I'd be very wary with this school. They don't pay the teachers for their full work. Instead ONLY pay them for the time they're with students and none of the prep. I don't know how this is legal, but it's robbing the students of an adequate education, and exploiting the teachers hard work. High turn over rate. The place is poorly run and managed. A lot of misinformation. The school lacks a lot of basic supplies to teach, and lacked even a first aid kit.Willie Garcia

I am the parent of a student. I am very disappointed in the graduation venue they chose for these students who have worked so hard. First off everyone is talking through the ceremony, the sound system horrible, and awful old school auditorium. How disrespectful to the students to provide such a venue. I'm angry, and hurting for these students. To pay the high price they skimped on the celebration. Embarrassing and shame on the school.Cindy Cooper

I went to the Nursing program here after being CNA for several years, attending the program and getting licensed was the best decision I have ever made. The professors and instructors were very supportive. Most of the students were very motivated, if you’re motivated to get it done this is the school to attend, less wait lists and less stressful pre-reqs requirements. Best of luck!Gamachis Achamyeleh

I could not have asked for a better all-girls private high school experience. Here at Holy Names Academy I have been academically challenged, as HNA uniquely offers Advanced Placement classes starting your freshman year. The faculty and staff are unbelievable and will provide a great source of support. They are not just here to teach the information in the textbooks, but also lessons that will help you throughout your life. The endless leadership opportunities offered at Holy Names have pushed me to go out of my comfort zone and learn what it means to be a young woman in leadership. I have enjoyed the athletics program very much being on the basketball, lacrosse, and cross-country team. Whether you are into sports or not, being apart of an HNA sports team has been such a great way for me to make upper and lower classman friends, while also helping me improve my time-management skills. No matter if you are catholic or not, here at HNA we accept and learn about all religions. I highly recommend Holy Names Academy as it will develop your daughter into a strong, educated, and well-rounded young woman.Mary Meg Cedergreen

Holy Names Academy is the premier Seattle private school. Excelling in sports, academics, and extra-curricular activities, Holy Names students are exceptionally prepared for college and beyond. Alumnae go on to become leaders in their communities and frequently attribute their successes to the education they received at Holy Names Academy. I highly recommend this high school to any young woman looking to make an impact in the world.Aoife Groppo

Holy Names is an exceptional school with extraordinary people. The students are focused, motivated, thoughtful and passionate about learning and making the world a better place. The sisterhood and sense of community permeate each facet of school life. The teachers truly care about the success and well-being of each student, and go above and beyond to help all students excel in life. Love this place!Julie Tilghman

I absolutely love the RT program here, the instructors are probably the best I have ever had. They have super high standards, but they also help you reach those high standards. The school is a bit pricey, but you get helpful instructors, with real experience, and who are ready to assist you whenever you need it. Plus, the hands on experience in class is a huge benefit. The only two downsides is not the program itself, but the food and beverage options in the school “cafe”, and the uniforms. For the price of the program, the uniforms are very stiff, and definitely nothing close to decent quality. So, if your enrolling, make sure to put some $$ aside to buy comfortable scrubs that actually fit you. As for the cafe, it would be great to have a real coffee machine (not instant coffee), so we don’t have the need to go off campus for caffeine. Overall though, I love my program, the instructors, and the new career PIMA is helping me prepare for. I definitely would recommend PIMA to anyone who wants to actually start a new medical career!Christina Romero

This school is easy to get started at. I was admitted to the RT program immediately after taking some brief tests and completing a mock study schedule. It is not a cheap option, but the wait list for cheaper schools is two years long…so I decided to get my schooling done rather than wait. I hope that the high price of education here all goes to the instructors, because they are the only worthwhile part of attending here. The admissions staff will make whatever promises they need to make to get you signed up, even if it is something they can’t deliver. The facility and equipment is old. The programs are fast paced and will leave you behind unless you are serious about learning the material.Derek Aaron

Choosing Pima Medical Institute and their Respiratory Therapy program was one of the best decisions my family and I have made. The program was very thorough and straightforward in the teachings. The thing I enjoyed the most was the constant engagement you were able to have with the instructors. Everyone is very open and willing to help in any situation whether it was school related or just life in general. The PD is amazing and she will do everything in her power to make sure you are not only a successful graduate but you are a successful RRT for many years to come. After completing the Respiratory program I passed my boards and I was offered multiple jobs on many different levels.Cody Morrow

I started the Respiratory Therapy program in 2007, as a non-traditional student seeking some sort of career in the medical field, but having no background in medicine whatsoever. It was hands down the best decision I ever made in terms of career choices. My instructors and the Program Director were patient, knowledgeable, and so caring. I graduated and was able to find work in the field right away here in Tucson. I loved the culture at Pima Medical Institute so much that I came back 10 years later to teach, helping to educate future RTs in the field. I would recommend PMI to anyone needing more individualized attention than a university setting generally provides, as well as anyone who needs a structured school schedule that is designed to still allow for work.Samandrea Barkley

I whole heartedly recommend PMI-Tucson nursing program. This is not your typical nursing school. Yes, it is accelerated, but they care! I am a student that travels from Phoenix every week to attend school, and both the program director Mrs. Wiebelhaus and the clinical director Mrs. Morelli regularly check-in to make sure I am doing okay. When I got sick and had to miss two weeks of class, my instructors made sure I had all the notes and homework so that I did not fall behind. I have learned so much in this program, and I know I am being set up for success!Gianna Emery

PMI is a wonderful school to attend for nursing! I absolutely love my instructors, and I know they genuinely care about me and the level of education I receive. So much thought is put into each individual class, and there are many resources to reach out to if you need additional help. Mrs. Arnold and Mrs. Morelli are two instructors out of many that really put forth effort into personalized help as well as an overall rounded education, and I'm grateful that I have them and all the other instructors at PMI to lead me into my nursing career.Kat Weaver

I feel like I’m getting scammed. I’m retaking this class first time was because my previous teacher didn’t grade most of my work that I summited direct to her with all paperwork and it was totally mess like nothing’s ever organized and dated correctly and she got fired so other instructors had to take over and still didn’t care about my assignment so i had no choice but failing. And when i retook it for second time with same class due to her personal reason it was mostly online or self taught with ppt she posted on blackboard. I only got to be in classroom 3 times. my new instructor won’t grade my quiz so i had to email her and advisor but non of them gave me any updates nor response so I guess they just want me to retake it over and over again until they can do their job. It’s large amounts of money they required too so I’m wasting my time and money and it just seems like they’re scamming me. Whenever my friends or people around me asking about this school I never recommend. Because no one need to deal with this mess. And they honestly killed my passion to be on veterinary field.Eunsu Choi

We've hosted students from the programs over the years and they come in with little clinical experience. They're not prepared to work with patients out of school at all. Up until recently our team was okay spending hours in training (while the school gets paid the tuition fee, we get nothing) hoping to keep the student on long-term. We got stood up. A promise was made to stay on and then no communication, no reply. The school should teach honesty, integrity and professionalism as part of the curriculum.Ilona F

I graduated from the medical assistant program and the teachers were all amazing and seem to truly care about their student’s success and wellbeing, especially Mojda! My only downside is that I did struggle with some of the administrative staff having poor communication and being disorganized. I definitely had to advocate for myself. Other than that, wonderful experience.Abby Heck

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

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

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

These days dog walking around the college is starting to feel a little less surreal when the pandemic started a year ago it was so still it was hard to shake the eerie post apocalyptic feeling I would get passing through but while still mostly shut down there are signs of normalcy returning, buses running, ongoing construction nearly complete and it appears some classes have resumed? There are more cars in the parking lots but certainly not back to pre pandemic levels. A year later now July 22 and the new auto shop appears complete. As does the atheltic center which has outdoor table tennis tables!Vincent Rowland

I have loved coming to this school. All my experience with teachers has been amazing, and almost all the staff has been great to work with, with exception to your average grouch here and there. I strongly recommend this school for those wanting to come back to school after an extended break from any sort of education. There is a good mix of straight out of high schoolers and older folks trying to get some education for a better job. If you are thinking about going back to school, give it a try.Josiah

Worst college ever! They do not response to emails and phone call when I need information for my transcript. They say email is the best option to reach them and I've sent like more than 10 emails and still haven't heard back from them. Education wise they have professors who don't know what they are teaching and also stubborn as well. Highly recommand going to other college and stay out of this one. You can thank me later.Be Smart

I don’t recommend going to charter college. I attended and I’m struggling to learn because the teachers in the HVAC Program are not real teachers They are HVAC Technician and don’t know how to teach individuals. Doing this program has made me not want to go into HVAC at all…Student only have 3 months left of class and still don’t feel confident enough to work. It’s scary! Plus the cost of tuition is insane. You don’t even get your O6A license and that’s required to be able to work in the field. You only get your EPA certificate but to be quick honest you can get that on your own online. The other certificate that you get is a certificate of completion. One of the assignment for the module was to do a ride along. No companies wanted Charter College students. That say a lot….Alex Esquivel

When I was ready to sign up at Charter College for the Medical Assisting program many people told me not to go to this school for a few reasons. I am so glad I didn't listen to anyone and signed up. There is nothing but good experiences that I have had since I started 3 months ago. The Instructors are GREAT! they're good at teaching and are always available and beyond helpful. Overall, I have had a great experience at this school. If you make the best of it, attend your classes, participate, and stay focused then you will do good. The only advice I would give is to read everything that you sign thoroughly when you do register.Jessica O

Stay away from this school! They are a huge scam. I graduated in 2016 with an associate degree in Allied healthcare program. During this 2 year program I am 60k in debt, they could not keep teachers, we would be 5 weeks in a 10 week term and not have a teacher until week 5. We went through 5 deans. And they eventually closed there doors in the Pasco location. So refresher courses are a no go. None of your credits transfer, so your degree is pointless. It took me 3 years to finally get a job within my field. There is no help with externships nor job placement. DO NOT GO THERE unless you want to be in debt and homeless.A J

The staff here and instructors.. they may look like they want to help you guys to make sure you pass the state exam, but when you really in need of their help, such as making up a missing day and reschedule clinical days, they won’t be helpful at all. Unforeseen things happen which is a nature of life but the staff of blossom doesn’t want to accept that. Plus the passing rate for the course was not 100% either. And the other thing that I didn't understand was, they move people from the Lakewood location to Kent on their preferences. They do not know how to accept students based on a desirable class size, so when they need fewer people for skill practice, they asked people to go to the other location which they weren't originally signed up. The owner seemed like "I appreciate your volunteer and you guys are awesome" will make all better. Because the list of the clinical site for students was not ready on the last day, that blew up our last option to choose between Fri-Sun and Sat-Sun schedules. Many students were interested in doing 4 total days of clinical instead of 5, the decision has been made solely by the instructors and no preference was asked although she said she's going to survey before she makes a decision.Seunghye Chae

This was my second time taking the CNA course at Blossom. The first time I took the course I decided to not keep up with my hour requirements and my certification expired. But when it was time to take it again for pursuing my nursing degree, I knew to come back to Blossom. Doris is definitely a big personality and I can see why other reviewers may have taken that as rude but she is really just a caring instructor who wants everyone to succeed and she makes you laugh while doing it. She not only worked with me to make sure I would get done on time when I got Covid, she also helped with getting me set up for clinicals. And when it came down to state exams, she helped me practice and feel prepared. I am so grateful to her for that! Because of her, I was able to pass both my written and skills exam on the first try and got into a healthcare role right away. I cannot recommend this place enough. If you want to feel prepared and feel cared for, definitely come here.Dafne Rangel

Blossom Nursing Assistant Training School gave me a very good foundation in this career path. Even though Covid-19 lockdown, shattered and shut down our classes for a considerable time, our tutors were dedicated in supporting and guiding us through personal communication and zoom classes. The lectures and skills demonstrations were fantastic. I will encourage anyone to pursue your CNA training in this Institution. The 40 hours clinical placement was done in a great nursing home, where I had the opportunity to practice most of my skills. The staff at this facility were very supportive. Doris, Jerry and the wonderful mentoring team at Cascade Gardens- I will remember you all for your amazing support during my training to enable me pass both my written and skills exams on my first attempt. Thank you….May God bless you all and keep us and our families safe in this difficult time.Yusupha Dampha

This was the best decision I ever made. I won’t lie, cost is steep, and it’s hard to work throughout parts of the program. However, if you’re considering going into the medical field, respiratory therapy specifically, this program is top notch. The director and instructors are amazing and if you put in the work and show up, they will be there for you every step of the way. It’s not an easy program, but it’s not impossible and the staff truly wants you to succeed. It takes hard work, dedication, and always being willing to learn; but it is so worth it in the end. I can’t speak for any of the other career fields, but the RT program is by far the best in the area. AND they do everything they can to help place you in jobs BEFORE you even graduate. It’s not a perfect school, or campus, but the process and the instructors in the RT department make up for that twice over.Adryanna Krenz-Payne

I just finished the DA program at Concorde and it was an amazing experience. My Instructor Alyssa was awesome and truly helped me learn so much. She is such a welcoming and loving teacher who truly wants to see her students do their best. The program director Lindsay is wonderful as well and is always able to help whenever I have a question or even if I just need advice. You can always tell when Lindsay is around because she brings happiness and energy wherever she goes. She is such a hard worker who loves what she does and cares for each student so much. Steven is also an amazing person to talk to on campus. He goes above and beyond for his students and is always a friendly face to see on campus. Overall I had a great time at Concorde and the staff that worked with me were so amazing.Abigail Parra

I received amazing customer service from the college. They had the answer to every single question I could possibly have. I was greeted in a timely fashion. I went through all steps of admissions and sign up. Their campus is fun and interesting with a great crowd of people. I am wholeheartedly excited to get to participate in education with this Health and Human Services college. Covid had been difficult on everybody and during those times it really weighed in on our professional service establishments. It seems a little bit of time and patience and perseverance has paid off for me.Jeremiah Wulf
