20 Best Paramedic Programs In Tampa, FL (2022 Updated)

I have had the misfortune of hiring now 9 girls from UT on a rotating schedule( when they have availability). I know a total of 12 girls that have either recently graduated, are in nursing programs, or 2 that are currently in masters programs, the 9 that worked/Ing for me are either recent grads, in their masters program, or a rising senior… So… now of these girls, even though they are nice have any queslificariona to work.. 6 out 9 which 3 of those 6 are or were in honors programs. Have no clue what they are going to do after school. Most complained about the treatment and the overall vibe of the campus. The 4 out of 12 girls that I know are graduated and with a Bachelors degree in Nursing or teaching can’t even find a job and are working in low level paying jobs… practically a step up from min. Wage. This university does not produce graduates that have a impact on the world. The quality of person who is going here 8 out of 10 is not the person you want working for you… This is a school for people who are good test takers but not ready or prepared to be in the real world at all… Go to bigger school that’s not private – private universities answer to know one which is not so good.. especially when it comes to the quality of graduates they are producing and putting out into the world. Which seems subpar at best. Save yourself the hassle, go to a public university. Like USF is bigger, better diversity, better teachers, bigger endowment, better statics with the type of person they produce back into the working world. Location is nice because it’s downtown but just remember not everything that glitters is gold…adoliop

Search history- During its operating period from 1891 to 1930, the hotel housed thousands of guests, including hundreds of celebrities. When the Spanish–American War broke out, Plant convinced the United States military to use his hotel as a base of operations. Generals and high-ranking officers stayed in its rooms to plan invasion strategies, while enlisted men encamped on the hotel's acreage. Colonel Teddy Roosevelt and his Rough Riders also were at the hotel during this time. Roosevelt retained a suite, and during the day led his men in battle exercises on the property. The Tampa Bay Hotel closed in 1930 as the Great Depression severely curtailed tourism. It remained empty and unused for three years. In late 1933, the Tampa Bay Junior College was allowed to move into the hotel, using the old suites as classrooms and offices. Because of the large amount of space afforded by the hotel, the scope of the junior college was expanded, becoming the University of Tampa. The Tampa Municipal Museum was established by the city to preserve the hotel in its original form and co-exist with the newly established University. Today, besides serving as offices and classrooms for the University of Tampa, the entire south wing of the building is dedicated to preserving the glory days of the old Tampa Bay Hotel. Various rooms in the wing display authentic artifacts from the old hotel, many of which were purchased by Mr. and Mrs. Plant themselves on various European shopping trips. (Wikipedia)George Ortiz

Beautiful school in a great location, however, if you're looking for a good school with good academics DO NOT COME HERE. The nice look of the school and large dorm rooms is about all it has to offer. As a freshman I went through three advisors in one year without any notification of having mine switched, and I also told my current advisor that I am transferring several times; but I keep receiving emails from them telling me I still have to register for next semester. The advisors here are not really that helpful at all. When you contact any facilities they either take weeks to respond, or do not respond at all. The grading scale is also very odd, so take a look at that as well. My first semester I had all A's and one AB and that brought my GPA down to a 3.8, when in most colleges an A- will bring your GPA down to around 3.9. The wifi is almost nonexistent unless you're using a computer in the library. Please do not invest your money here and go to a more accredited and student friendly college, so you do not have to waste time and stress looking to transfer out of here like many freshman do.Morgan Lowe

This school makes you want to give up on Pursuing a degree. I have never had so much trouble, issues or headaches dealing with any other school like I have this one. You are treated very poorly by most, close to all of the employees. There has been multiple times they requested information for my financial aid and my transcripts and every time I go in and turn the information they still say they didn’t receive it until I have to argue with them and then it’s “oh I have it right here” I was supposed to start classes MONTHS ago and every time I think I’m there they pull something else out the hat. I went in weeks ago to turn in my additional verification for financial aid and then walk in a week before classes start just for them to tell me “ oh we don’t have it you need to fill it out again” after some pushing they take the time to search and find out they do have it and it never was submitted. Now I have the school calling me because classes are about to start asking for money because they haven’t heard from financial aid and trying to drop me from starting my class because of their mistake. I call financial aid then they tell me oh we can’t help you because it doesn’t look like you have ever been enrolled (I have my student ID and my class schedule by the way and enrolled for early child care management) and that I need to contact admissions. I call them only to be met with such disrespectful employees with no sympathy in helping with the problem. Finally was told a supervisor would call me back and never heard from her. This school is a complete let down and makes you just want to give up like your fighting a losing battle. If I ever get to start my first class I’m scared to see how the teachers are considering out of the many people I’ve talked to there maybe only 1-2 that was kind of decent or slightly helpful. If I could give them zero stars I would. T. NobleAlexis Noble

They offer higher education at an affordable cost. Get your stuff done months before open registration so you're not stressing last minute! They offer and try to bring "the student life" to campus. REMINDER this is NOT A UNIVERSITY – so they can only offer you so much with sports, clubs, and programs due to funding but what they have is good. They do offer lots of programs, scholarships, and dual enrollment courses. I've had a great experience with Polk State Winter Haven for the past years. If you have no idea what to major in they will say stick with AA liberal arts (general courses) so you can transfer to a 4 year UNI. The campus is easy to navigate for first time students. This does not have 5 stars due to the cafeteria/event hours. What they offer for morning/day students is a lot more then what they offer for evening/night students. Professors overall are great. Online courses are also offered.Professional Reviewer

The staff at the WH campus is entirely unhelpful. They give you wrong information every time you have an issue that needs to be addressed. Most professors I’ve had at WH PSC campus have been rude and not helpful. The professors at the JD Alexander Center are much more helpful, understanding and nice to work with. The advisors at the JD Alexander Center are amazing, Faith and Warren are so helpful and kind. PSC has double charged me for tuition every semester; I’ll pay the amount of tuition I am responsible for (as I use FL Prepaid) and then the same amount of money I’m responsible for will be taken out of my student loans even though the remainder of tuition has already been paid for. I don’t have the easiest time getting someone from Financial Aid on the phone, and I have yet to receive an answer as to why I’m being double charged for tuition, semester after semester.Toni G

A lack of compassion Waited for over an hour, was called up and told to wait a little longer for someone who could accommodate with my request. Sat back down and when I approached 20 minutes after to inquire regarding the waiting time, was asked to sit down in one of the two chairs to discuss my reason for visiting. They asked my name, then proceeded to taunt me by assuming my age was older several times, guessing random ages, before giving me a chance to answer their question "How old are you?" Proceeded to degrade me in front of others when looking for options on a list to finish the next step for starting college, then said "Well..we are trying.." with a sarcastic and frustrated tone of voice, when I didn't have one of the necessary second documents shown on the list. The advisor made me feel absolutely worthless. Felt horrible when leaving the room and left with a feeling that I was far too old with no other options, than to be attending their college grounds. Will keep note to discuss the Wise account and any other details with another advisor, should I encounter this specific advisor again. Was an awful experience, when striving to take a step towards a better future. Compassion is lacking here..Dragon Alchemy

The Spring Hill campus is the absolute worst of all of the campuses and I’d steer clear of them, opting for the Brooksville campus instead. They’re insanely disorganized, and trying to speak to someone is like pulling teeth. Even when you do speak to someone, they give you the run around. I’ve request for my transcripts to be sent on numerous occasions, dating back to May/April and my school STILL hasn’t received them. I’ve called multiple times to all different departments to resolve this issue; financial aid, for an advisor and eventually, to the student activities department. I regretfully didn’t ask for their name, but they took my information and said they’d take it to the person in charge of transcripts and that they’d be calling me back within the next two business days. Those business days came and went and I never received a phone call. I called the North campus instead and thankfully had the pleasure of speaking with Lidia, who allowed my family member to pick up my transcripts in person and just mail them to me. This campus is awful and no amount of free food or mediocre events will be able to fix that.N/A

Terrible I got dropped from one of my classes for no reason when I did my work on time and when I contacted the teacher Dr.ray asking why I was dropped and all she said was that I havn't done work and lied to me saying she hasn't seen assignment turned in since feb 15 saying its been six weeks even if that was the case wich it is not due to the break and the virus you would think you would get some courtesy I continue to contact the dean and her boss and was complety ignored not very surpising smh been going to PHSC for 2 years now and dissapointed being lied to a deceived. Already hired a lawyer to take PHSC to court due to the fact I depend on being a full time student to receive my VA benefeits now this Dr.ray teacher ( I think a doctor in being rude and in considerate) anyway don't take dr.ray classes. I'll update the reveiw if I get anywhere with taking them to court.Trenton Hardy (Demccy)

I am student of Schiller International University (Florida Campus) currently. I like this university. its giving a huge opportunity to the local as well as international students. All the instructor are always ready to help students in any assignments. more over all staff members are there to help students. All staff members are very co-operative, helpful and kind to students. I just feel like a family environment in my University. Good university for the student from worldwide who wants to learn Management or Nursing in a good university…Ankita Vahora

i am a student at Florida campus.This is a great institution where i really feel proud to study in.They do the courses by a monthly schedule which is really a good way to learn and concentrate on the subject.We also have a legendary campus director who supports and do the needful to students.I really need to say we have a great faculty and the registrar of the campus who guides us in each and everything,she is one great women i should say.Overall ,i am really happy to be in this school with all the provisions.amith ambati

LOL this place is still operating? I spent a semester partying at Schiller College in Strasbourg France in 1975. Yeah I know back in the Stone Age. Education? Not so much. But man was it fun. Lots wine and pot and fun weird people. A great life experience. Would I recommend now? Hell no. I see Chateau de Portales is now a hotel. That's great. Be fun to go spend a night in my old room.Jeffrey

The most unorganized, unprofessional, "learning institution" I have ever come across. There are a FEW instructors within the nursing program that really have a passion for teaching nursing students, but the rest, this is merely a second source of income for them. It is very rare that you'll receive an email back in regards to an issue you have and if you do happen to get an email back it's most likely going to be at least a week later. While the school may be accredited to be a learning institution, the nursing program is NOT accredited. Save your time and money. It's enticing because of the shorter amount of time it will take to receive your ADN, but it is not worth the headache nor the amount of money they charge. If you can swing it, go to another institution that will provide you with QUALITY education, even if that means it takes a little longer. I promise you will wish you would have done that in the beginning if you choose to attend this school. Pay attention to the negative reviews on this school – they speak truth.Nani Neamiah

I have completed my A.S. Degree in EMS and have had the most professional experience I’ve experienced. My classes were online and the professors were beyond helpful in class. Krystal Zimbaldi was a key component in my success with HCI. She has made my college experience amazing and has been by my side throughout the whole process. From the first day I called to join HCI to complete my degree, she has been the point of contact for all my questions and concerns. The fact that she constantly checks up on students to make sure they are updated with information and to see how their college experience is going is an amazing trait to have. HCI is truly blessed to have such an amazing asset for the college. Because of this I will recommend this college to all my friends and colleagues for all their educational needs.Joshua Wagner

I am in my 12th month of nursing school and I absolutely love this School and the Nursing program. I would recommend this school to anyone that needs to work while going to school. This school is very accommodating. The best thing that ever happened to this school was bringing Isabelle Ayers on board, she has been such a positive change for this school. It has come a long way in a short time. The entire staff including Irene from the EMS program is always so helpful in any way needed and willing to go above and beyond to help out. Irene always has a smile on her face and kind words to greet you daily and even though she is not our direct mentor she has been a positive influence in me enjoying my experience at HCI and always there for all students.Kellie Jenkins

Thanks to everyone at LETS!! Such a positive experience!!! My daughter (16) and I attended classes here and were amazed at how informative and hands on it was. Ashley, the teacher has a special way of teaching that grabs and keep your attention. I now feel very confident on what to do in different situations. My daughter is extremely shy and was worried about being put on the spot. They were very accommodating in making her feel comfortable. I definitely recommend Landes Emergency Training Services to anyone and everyone. It could save a life.Zpd1229

We were here yesterday for the Manatee Chamber's Business After Hours. A very nice well ordered facility but the most important was the people there. Everyone I spoke with was very knowledgeable, enthusiastic and took the time to both inform and teach. Even though I was a guest there for a short time I was brought up to speed on current procedures for CPR and how to use an automated defibrillator. A very impressive visit!Phil

I had the best time at my CPR training class. My instructor was just so cool and down to earth. She really made sure that you really understood what you needed to do. She made sure you were completely comfortable before moving to the next thing. She also took time after the class to give me information on the CNA class I was interested in. I'm looking forward to taking that there in the future.Crystal Nely

I just graduated from the Surgical Technology program at this school with the instructor Ms.Daise, she was excellent!! There is sooo much to learn in such a short period of time and she was very thorough and prepared us very well for our clinical rotation. She was our sole instructor this time around. I guess in the past they normally have a seperate instructor for clinicals. We did not this time, And I would not of had it any other way. Having Ms.Daise as our instructor made our clincial rotation so much better, everyone at the location of our clinicals couldnt say anything but great things about our class and our instructor. I guess they have had issues with the other "instructor" at the school that we did not. This program was great! The hospital literally wants to hire every single one of us, thats how great this experience has been for all of us! Ms.Daise is the best!! She is the heart and soul of this program, she really cares and loves to teach and it is apparent. She also has the standards for Surgical technology down pat, And doesnt teach short cuts. SHE IS THE REAL DEAL!! I would give her ten stars if I could, and I would give 2 stars to the Health science Office staff… Too many "politics" going on in the office and they care more about their " status quo" then making sure the students have what they need to succeed. I would highly recommend this program to anyone who wants to get into this field!Amy Parraguez

Program: Computer Systems & Information Technology (CSIT) Instructor: Rob Saul Instructor is world class, he often utilized a Socratic style of teaching which was unique compared to just about every other teacher I've ever had. The program exposes you to various technology but the main components are centered around the CompTIA certifications, namely A+, Net+, Sec+. I'd imagine the core learning material is still largely self-paced as you progress towards each certification exam. I was dual enrolled 9-10 years ago but I doubt much has changed aside from the actual certification material being updated every few years These certs are all great for getting into various entry level IT positions..you're probably looking at roles like help desk/desktop support/support technician/isp tech/etc. These certs won't make you a sys admin or network admin, but they certainly lead to those type of career trajectories. Final thoughts: Adults – I'd personally just recommend picking up an A+, Net+, Sec+ CompTIA bundle and going to town. There I just probably saved you a ton of money. You'd gain the same knowledge and can sit for the same certs the program prepares you for, but in a MUCH quicker time frame really. High School Dual enrollers – 100% sign up for this if seriously interested in computers/networking/security/IT in general. You'll be so ahead of your peers its borderline OP.James Whipple

I went to their information session for surgical technician , and just from simply calling and going there I did not like the experience . I do not recommend going there if you want to be a SURGICAL TECHNICIAN. They want you to pay around 500$ before even getting accepted and it’s non refundable, a tour is not included in the session and I saw a review on here that a surgical technician said there was a 20% passing rate I asked the lady and she pretended like she knew nothing about , she just said they had a really bad dropout rate because students “couldn’t handle it” and that’s why they’re making people who to get in a program take a 4 hour long test. As well as a 2 hour long test . I have never written a bad google review but I really hope nobody wastes their money on this program and not even to know if you’re getting accepted . The only good side of this school is that it’s in a nice area and the interior is very clean and nice . Unless you want to share majority of the college with high school students I don’t recommend you going here.Elianna Corona

The only reason for the 5 stars is because I could not leave 10 stars. If you are looking to renew or obtain a BLS, CPR, ACLS or PALS among other certificates. I highly recommend CPRXPRESS. The saff is very knowledgeable and the training material is the best I have seen. CPRXPRESS was able to accommodate my shift schedule which made it very helpful.steven moore

I highly recommend this business for AHA renewal! There were a variety of classes to select from and scheduling was easy. As a former paramedic, I also appreciate that this business is owned and operated by a FF. Yanko and his team are enthusiastic about teaching and provide a relaxed and fun environment for learning.Christina Hagar

The instructor/owner is terrific. I had a migraine (wasn’t at my best). Because he was warm, funny, energetic, and a great resource, I made it through the class. He shared so many wonderful tips that will come in handy when needed.Angela Raiford

I had a BLS class today and there were some difficulty with contacting the original instructor, however, Scott gave another solution and assigned us Danny as the instructor and they both went all the way to give us adequate and efficient class time. I learned a lot of skills and really appreciate Danny coming even though he was an hour away from the location. Overall, I had a wonderful experience learning and very thankful for the instructors.Chloe Truong

Great experience! My ACLS had expired as I have had a job as a desk nurse the last several years. In no time it was all making sense. I did not have time to prepare and so glad I picked up quick with the instructor’s great skill set. He was so good – made it interesting with useless (but interesting trivia) about why we do certain things. Really helped me to understand instead of focusing on memorizing. I highly recommend. Thanks!Kathleen “Faf” Horne

I recently completed the Basic Life Support (BLS) Initial Provider course and the way the instructor taught was perfect. We went over the videos and then performed. My instructor was very knowledgeable and helpful in answering any questions I had. I 100% recommend this class to anyone needing to be certified or for anyone wanting to learn CPR. I took this class at the Palm Harbor location. Thank you for the class!Gianella Solano

I do not recommend the nursing program or SPC for that matter. The program was very poorly organised which makes an already difficult curriculum that much harder. When they would change class times or agenda's day of they would say "well this is how it's going to be as a nurse so get used to it", highly unprofessional. I was enrolled in the evening program. Most of us in evenings have jobs and/or child responsibilities in the day. After spending thousands of dollars on books supplies and curriculum I was forced out of the program after completing 1 semester because they decided to change clinical start time to 8 am in an "evening" program. I asked for special consideration and was denied. I appealed and had the meeting cancelled 3 times by the dean. I wrote a letter to the college president and was ignored. I highly suggest you consider a different school.Benjamin Thomas

My boyfriend and I needed to get a routine cleaning done and really wanted to try out this program. Though it took us up to the day of our (cross country) move to get an appointment (about two weeks to schedule something with them), they were really accommodating, completely understood our situation, and allowed us to do our entire session that day! Something which, I'm sure, does not happen often. But they were all so understanding and helpful. And if that wasn't enough, it is a super cheap service, and helps these students get to where they need to be for their future careers. Thanks again! I'm so grateful to these folks for everything!Dani Blye

Took my Local anesthesia course for Dental hygiene here. The program was great!!! would definitely recommend to anyone and everyone but what really made my experience was the staff!! Joan Tonner the program director was absolutely amazing!! She was everything you would want in a program director!! My clinic instructors Jessica Walker and Holly were exceptional!!! I had to take this course as a job requirement and i wasnt excited about it but after this course and thanks to my amazing instructors i am so happy that i did this and feel so confident in the skills that i have learned!! Thank you!!Nicole Romano

I just got home from the BLS provider course and felt I had to review immediately. I cannot say enough positive things about my experience. As a nurse and someone who has always worked in healthcare, I've taken many BLS courses throughout my life. Debbie A. is by far the best instructor I've ever had. She was so engaging and positive, it made me want to listen. I usually get bored during these things. Debbie, you're great! From the initial call I made to EMC, I was greeted professionally and sincerely. The staff was incredibly helpful and kind. They are the most affordable in the area as well. I would definitely recommend this company to anyone looking to take their classes & I will be back. Looking to take their EKG class as well. 10 stars if I could.Monica

I have been an ALS and BLS instructor for several years but in 2022 I decided to expand my skills as a Pediatric Instructor. My PALS provider card had expired so I had the experience of attending both provider and instructor courses. The Prep packet EMC provides helped me tremendously going into the courses.. My provider instructors , Rodney and Deb F. were so knowledgeable, patient and supportive. I felt so prepared for the Instructor course with Chuck. Chuck was also very knowledgeable and energetic! Both courses were excellent, rewarding and professional! Thank you EMC.Debbie Acunto

I have been using EMC for several years now and just recently did PALS with them. Bob? (I’m terrible with names) was excellent and his knowledge and experience with critically ill children was reflected in the course he provided. I learned so much! All the instructors are great and I will definitely be back!Stacy Rudolph

I had a great experience at OMI. I attended a "Flipped classroom" for Paramedic school led by retired FDNY Lieutenant Paramedic Hector Arroyo, and the most important thing I can say is that you get out what you put in. If you put in the work, the staff of OMI will work tirelessly to make sure you get the education you paid for. No games, no egos, just knowledge. The clinical coordinator Jessica Sasser absolutely made my year. I have never in my life worked with someone more accommodating or approachable than she has been. My year of Paramedic school would have been substantially worse if not for her kind, understanding, and extremely hardworking and available approach to clinical internship. While I enjoyed my overall experience at OMI, if I recommend OMI to coworkers or friends, my experience with Jessica will be one of the first anecdotes I share. In addition, I would be remiss if I did not mention the Vice President, Mrs. Abby Marquez. Her caring nature and calm demeanor while dealing with conflicts cannot be overlooked. No matter the obstacle, we all knew we could go speak to Abby, and she would help us come to a tenable solution. Knowing that the administrative staff of your school is on your side and truly cares about you is a feeling you cannot put a price on. I definitely recommend this school for those individuals looking for a no-nonsense, straightforward, and rewarding approach to higher education.Logan Reedy

As a recent graduate of the EMT program at Orlando Medical Institute, I want to take a second to recognize the staff for all of their hard work. From the admin staff to the instructors and lab instructors, everyone did an amazing job preparing the students for excellence in the field. Even during the shutdown and inability to get into hospitals for clinical hours due to the coronavirus, they worked hard to keep us on track and provided simulations to practice our skills. Thank you to everyone at OMI for your help and your dedication to the students. I recommend this school to anyone looking to enter the field. I'm looking forward to continuing my education with OMI in the paramedic program.Darren Barnes

Okay I attended this school way back years ago. Yes the owners do like and make money. The teachers are pretty good but all work multiple jobs and can be late or they may rush to fill a teacher last minute. Their driver cert truck is very old. Abby never bothered me. One thing to be carful. If you are going on to college classes or certs they may not accept your cert or you will have to take the college test. OMI does not require a college entry test. Seminole state does. Felix is very knowable and cares about the school. Just remember this is a private school. Not a college or university. Other than that I attend learned and passed without issue.brad gibson

(Translated by Google) Very pleased with the attention and education of Professor María Kasapoglu, today I have been certified as a phlebotomist thanks to the efforts of both. Very good classes both practical and theoretical. This is the ideal place to promote new knowledge and improve ourselves. Thank you (Original) Muy complacida con la atención y educación de la Profesora María Kasapoglu, hoy me he certificado como flebotomista gracias al esfuerzo de ambas.

Medical University of Tampa is by far one of the best medical university’s in Tampa Florida. With their hands on program I was able to obtain my CNA certificate. In the near future, I will be taking the phlebotomy course. They have awesome bilingual teachers, they also worked with me on a payment plan. Overall I am 100% satisfied and I will definitely recommend the school.Jessenia Thompson

Unaccredited, on probation, unable to receive financial aid, super shady business practices, constant policy changes to fuel a desperate need for cash – need I go on? Staff was disorganized and unqualified. Power and internet would routinely go out due to unpaid bills. Zero on campus resources for students, yet you’re billed for them. Lab equipment was old or nonexistent. The clinical experience was mediocre – frighteningly so. So much in fact, that they require you to individually seek out over 300+ hours of “externship” shadowing a registered nurse. They promise placement assistance initially but when the time comes they don’t offer it. The facilities I contacted to try to secure those hours were just as confused as I was. Some semesters we wouldn’t find out our class schedule until the day or even hours before. Then it would be changed several times over the course of the class and we would all have to scramble to accommodate. Classes themselves were rushed and the material was irrelevant or shallow. Until you get to the mandatory exit exams – which are an extra $2,000 and include a mandatory VERBAL exam – that’s when they slam you with the difficult content that they failed to teach you. Throughout all of this, emails and calls were ignored or continually deferred. You receive no backing in the form of an advisor – not an ounce of advocacy for your right as the consumer. I decided it would be best for my future and my sanity to leave and seek education elsewhere. With that said, even if I had somehow made it out with a licensure I still have zero faith in the quality of education received. I would have been woefully unprepared and a danger to patients. I’m truly baffled that they’ve managed to remain operating for so long.Kat Cyr

It’s really 0 stars. Everything you read negative about this school please take my advice and believe it. Don’t waste your money, energy, & time at this school. I started Nov 29th 2021 the classes were not even showing up on the website for me to look at the syllabus and assignments. I “the student” had to call the school & notify them of the problem… I sent a email to one instructor instead of her helping me she decided to reply back 8 days later & expected me to had completed an assignment that she failed to send to me. Another issue is they give out too much busy work. Accelerated programs have a quiz n test weekly. Not this program. It had for one week 6 assignments due. The week of Xmas I was blocked from getting into the website to do my assignments for my two classes. This school is a hot mess & a waste of time. There’s no structure at all. I think the online program at this school is a learning process & as of now it’s not worth the 3k.highly favor

I attended my ASN at the school. I commuted weekly for two hours to get to school but it was worth. The school like any nursing school had its problems but overall the education was really great and i passed my board and am currently working in Hospital Peds Unit. I like that it was affordable , well when i went there it was affordable. I dont have a lot to pay back in student loans. Everyone was very nice and friendly expect for one instructor who was rig and not accommodating. Would i recommend someone there YES, i passed the boards and so did my friends and our classmates. It was overall a good school. They just need to be a little more organizedAlice N

I called to get more information about this facility and had many questions about the program, different offers they had and ect. At first the conversation was fine I was reminded about how they have many students who attend their courses and pass on the first try. I began asking questions about the online content and how it would be presented I also ask about time frame and their passing rate. As I continued to ask my sensible and appropriate questions I encountered a tone and attitude of the individual that was not profesional. I was questioned and asked if I am trying to obtain information "to open up my own CNA facility" because the questions I was asking were not normal questions a person should ask. Then the individual continued to use a tone that was not professional.Then said they would never allow me at their facility and became very angry. I was in shock to have received such poor customer service as I was simply asking questions about their facility. All that was reiterated was that this was an 18 year business and all their students pass on their first try. I have never attended this school and quite frankly would never attend this school.Natalie Molina

I bought the PCT Package, it took me about roughly 3 months to finish from start to end. This is including the wait time for the CNA exam, which took me nearly 2 months but at no fault due to Arianna. I was doing this while also working 30 hours a week. I was skeptical at first, which is just how I am, but I have landed a full-time position at TGH thanks to this program. As soon as I completed all the paperwork, obtained my CNA license & BLS Certification, and finished the 24 hr. CEU'S, I applied for positions. I got multiple interviews and a few offers, which included the position I was aiming for since before starting this program! Going from a fast food job to a hospital position with a 45% increase pay along side full health, dental and vision benefits is AMAZING. Easily a great investment and value of $500, it's honestly a steal. If you are hesitating, DON'T. This is more than manageable with a fulltime job if you are able to prioritize your time. Arianna was also quick to respond to questions or problems. Best of luck future CNA's!!Lyric Aurora

After looking at a few programs, the TampaBayCNA was by far the best choice I could have made. The instructors are both extremely knowledgeable and friendly, and certainly prepare you for the CNA exam. I really felt that the students success was their priority. My favorite part of the program is that they let you come back and repeat classes as many times as needed. I was able to attend the classroom course, access the online videos as much as I needed and whenever it fit my schedule, and then repeat the in person part of the course right before my exam date for a refresher. This was super helpful because I was able to ask all my last minute questions for the exam. Their online classroom is user friendly and a very helpful tool to becoming very familiar with course skills. Thanks to both instructors, I was adequately prepared for my exam and passed on both parts on my first try. I continued my education with them to PCT as well. I would recommend TampaBayCNA to all my friends, family, and anyone with an interest in the medical field.Jessica

Great campus! This campus doesn't offer as many things as the larger East and West campuses, however it does have a math lab and writing center in case you need some extra help. This campus also has a computer lab, library, bookstore, and support center. This smaller campus is a lot quieter and peaceful when compared to the other campuses. The Winter Park campus offers a very nice outdoor patio area with tables and also has a small but nice student lounge. The staff and faculty are all very nice and help push the peaceful atmosphere of the campus. If given the opportunity I would highly recommend taking some classes at this campus rather than some of the larger ones.Jacob Harris

trying to enroll. Impossible. No one has the right information. Spoke to multiple people : CJ, Laura Pineda ,Tyrone, Max Arias, Kayla and Jessica They keep transferring and transferring for other people. Their advisors just copy and paste information! No one is actually wanting to help or knows anything!!!! This is because you are a prospect, I can only imagine when you become a student!Tchello_Thor

Girl working in the campus bookstore was extremely RUDE. I was the only person in the store and she had an attitude every time she spoke and talked to me like I was incompetent. Don’t appreciate paying for school and then to be treated poorly at your schools own bookstore! And I also called prior – no answer. Come into the book store and it’s deadSabrina Heimbach

I am currently a student at Keiser University Clearwater campus. The staff has ALWAYS gone above and beyond to support and help me through my journey. I have been attending since Jan. 2017 and I will be graduating in Dec. of this year with my Associates degree in Science and will be a Certified Surgical Technologist. From the first day I came to Keiser I always felt at home, the teachers and staff always make sure everything is okay and check with you frequently to ensure your success. The teachers at this campus are nothing short of amazing and I have had a great experience with Keiser University and I am proud to say I attend this campus and will graduate from this campus and I am a Seahawk. From financial aid all the way up the dean every staff member is involved and cares so much about their students.Meshell Munoz12

I have been here for a year for my prerequisite at keiser. This school has lack of tutors and resources to help students. The school doesn't care about the students well being, even if your child has health issues. With in the year I was in so much debt with student loans! They will blame you for not knowing there were an tutoring class that is open one day a week, but no one tells you anything when you are asking for help. The guidance counselor never call you back ( Stephanie Stinson) you always have to hunt them down to get answer. I wouldn't recommend anyone to go to this school, unless you want to be in debt.Lamesha Murray

It was OK, I transferred to SPC which is working out better for me. I think Keiser University has some good programs their classes move very quickly so it could be tough to keep up. I did like the campus in Tampa there was a computer lab on every floor and it was nicely built. I would say its one of the better accelerated schools because the credits are transferable and you will graduate with an actual degree . However , they are expensive because they are a private college. Due to the classes being faced paced I felt like I didn't absorb as much information .lauren Pinto

I Love this school. My granddaughter has been going there since she was walking. The teachers are so caring and they truly love all the kids.One thing that is very important is the cleanliness. They are proactive with cleaning the classrooms especially when on the children is ill. It's not a new building but they keep it very nice and clean.. We had to pull her from another daycare because she would get sick all the time. The programs are excellent. My granddaughter could count from 1 to 10 in both English and Spanish when she was very little. Now she is 3 and still loves it there. She's made friends and the curriculum is great. She's learning about the animals who live in Antarctica. Her vocabulary has increased two-fold. I recently attended the Grandparents Brunch. We all had a great time. It was nice to see all the children with their grandparents. We had a good time. Jackie and Joyce are great and very accommodating to whatever the parents need. Since it's also a daycare, sometimes it can get hectic but they keep it orderly. I would recommend this school to everyone.Karen Kennedy-Hall

I usually read the reviews but I rarely write review. The reason I chose to write is like my daughter all other kids should get maximum knowledge from the school. All the teachers are very professional, friendly and highly motivating the kids. I observed a significant change in my daughter in all aspects like reading, math skills and discipline. I just mentioned a few things. She improved a lot and there the foundation for the kid's future is very strong. The quality of education is very high. Teachers are very dedicated. I'll take this opportunity to thank the entire team. On the whole it's the best in town. My best wishes.Priya Raj

I can't praise them place enough. The growth and development of my 4 year old in the past years has been amazing. Ms Jackie & Ms Taylor build an environment for a growth mindset learning. I'm so proud of all the teachers and the time and effort they have placed in my child. Thank you, thank you, thank you, Ms Cassandra, Ms Anabelle, Ms Susan, Ms Kendall, Ms Joyce, and all the teachers that have had a profound effect on my child. My only regret is not finding them sooner.JaredandBecca Jones

Brand new building, amazing equipment but what the students get is outdated, broken junk and instructors with attitudes and arrogance. Half the police cadets fail out…what does that tell you.Nate Braun
