Hey Everyone!!!! OMG…read more- so today I had to re-exam to renew my CNA license. Which was a bummer, because I did not know how to obtain the correct CEU's. I was so nervous, because I haven't took this state exam in 2 years, and I did not know if it was going to be with others, a large size class or anything... just going in blind. I remember when I had took my exam 2 years ago for the first time, I was with my classmates. However, I got here very early. I was the first to arrive. Later, I was greeted and welcomed by a beautiful nice woman name Mrs. Drusilla. She opened up at Vasco Career College, and she then opened the for for me and told me to come inside to have a seat. I was so nervous you guys, and she was very nice it sort of soothed my demeanor. I then checked in with her to begin my written exam first, I explained to her how nervous I was and this was for my renewal. She literally turned to me and looked in my eyes, and stated, " you will be fine ". I honestly felt like this was a sign from god. I then took my exam, in a very quiet room, she went over everything for me in full detail. The rooms were spacious, clean and organized. After, it was time to take my skills exam. Again, y'all, very nervous and I sat in another room, (room C ), while another student finished their skills exams. Once, this student was close to finished, I was asked to be the patient for them. I was introduced to my Proctor, she was so sweet and pleasant. Her name was Mrs. Bella, she reminded me of a sweet family member you just hug when you see them. After, I helped the other student, it was my turn, my pulse was going a 1000x per sec. She told me to calm down, again, nice and pleasant. I finished and felt so good about my outcome with taking both my exams here just due to their personalities and how nice they were. This helped me in ways they will never know I needed, just them being kind. I have not received my results yet, or do not know if I passed, but I wanted to share with everyone a great place to come take you exams and also.... * As I was leaving, Mrs. Drusilla heard me state I was renewing my CNA license and she informed me on next time, what to do in order to receive my continuing education credits, to qualify for approval from California Department of Health. THEY HAVE A WEBSITE, www.cnabase.com ONLINE, and they offer the in person CEU's in person at their school. You guys I could have cried right there. Renewing my license was the hardest thing ever for me, and I felt like it should have not been. I asked everyone and no one could give me the correct information on where to go or how to obtain your continuing education credits. So, I want to share with everyone so they do not go through what I went through, the panic, stress, and anxiety on having to take the state exam over.... you can take these CEU's with them!!! DON'T WALK, RUN TO THEIR CAMPUS.. THEY OFFER SEVERAL OTHER CLASSES AS WELL, CHECK THEM OUT!!!!

Vasco Career College was a great experience for me! I graduated from the clinical medical assisting…read moreprogram in February of 2026. I took the evening class because that's the only way I was able to attend class while juggling with work and being a mom. My instructor Bianca was amazing! She guided me and encourage me to do my best especially when I was close to taking my NHA exam. Bianca provided all the resources that I needed when it comes to my assignments, labs, and my exam. After graduating from the program, I was assigned to a clinic for my externship and my instructor also have been keeping in touch with me while I was in my externship. I couldn't have done all of this if it wasn't for my instructor and Mrs. Dru who also went above and beyond, most especially she was so happy for me that I was able to complete my externship. I highly recommend enrolling in Vasco Career College for anyone who is starting out in the medical field.

Bay Area Training Academy in engrained into my heart. I cannot express my gratitude for the people…read morehere, they are heroes (in my opinion). I did the 8-week course and they increased my intelligence and I am eternally grateful for them doing that. They increased my confidence & allowed me to build social connections with both fellow students and instructors. I want to thank everyone that helped me because not only did they believe in me but they also motivated me to be a better human being, full of compassion & willingness to assist during emergencies. Steve Albright is the lead instructor and he is gifted at teaching and he is hilarious with his style of teaching. This man is very much a father figure and someone I learned a lot from aside from the medical material, he is truly a pleasure to be around and he lifts up peoples' spirits even though everything can be stressful. Michael believed in me and expressed it in a way that I can never thank enough. I value my newly acquired friendship with Michael and I definitely felt his passion for teaching and "his" love for his students. He is a great instructor who I am proud to have been guided by in this process of becoming a Emergency Medical Technician. He believed in me more than I believed in myself and that is something that money cannot buy. Henry taught me so much and gave me a platform to grow and thrive upon. He was so amazing at teaching and building confidence without putting pressure and it allowed for one to practice like they would in "real-life", therefore it is impossible for me to thank him enough. Nav guided me in situations that are stressful her guidance in tough scenarios which is something I will never forget. Her military expertise is something that I admire and will never forget her words and they will stick with me forever. She also enlightened me with potential career opportunities for someone like me, she did this for all of the students and I'm 100% positive that everyone gained confidence from her insight. Kristian was an amazing instructor who sharpened my skills with his style of teaching. He really helped cement my confidence and that is something I truly needed and value. I know that he didn't just want me to succeed but to also help the patients/people that we serve. The time that we spent together was not nearly enough because he had so much more to give and I had so much more to learn from him, however the time that we did spend was maximized and as I mentioned I am forever grateful for his time and energy. Patrick is like a friend who I have known my entire life and he is a wise teacher who made the learning experience more enjoyable and he reminded me why I am even doing this in the first place. He reminded me of my core values and the type of person I want to be, which is compassionate, sociable, and an intelligent leader who can get things done under pressure. This man is a person that everyone likes to be around and that is something I wish to emulate. Overall, this has been a life changing course unlike any other course that I have taken. I truly cherish these people and they are all heroes which deserve everything that life has to offer because they are doing it from the heart. I am proud to be a Bay Area Training Academy graduate and I will do my best to represent them as I move forward in my life. They are truly all beautiful souls who deserve nothing but the best and coming to the academy was one of the best decisions of my life. I feel more equipped to handle family emergencies as my elders age around me and in my daily life. I am excited to continue my education and these are people that I want to keep close to me. I feel like i found my "people"/tribe. I cannot wait for what the future brings and: Thank you for everything BATA, I love all of you! Sincerely, Raul Angel Maravilla (EMT212AL)

I did their LVN program. I really enjoyed it! They offer part time and full time programs. I was…read moreable to work while completing the program and they offer a work-study option. Compared to Gurnicke and Unitek, they are thousands cheaper and get you to the same place. Despite the program being held during covid when many places were not accepting students, we were able to get clinical and preceptorship placements. I learned a lot from the awesome instructors and most importantly, the program director Ms. Stacey. She is amazing! She is very responsive, open, and communicative. She truly cares for every student. Ultimately, no matter what nursing program you choose, it will come down to you. I still had to use outside resources at times to supplement my learning. I think this is common in any program and does not reflect poorly on the school. Your instructors will vary in how they teach or "nurse", but overall I had a fair experience. You may qualify to retake certain exams, retake terms, or reach out to Ms. Stacey if there was issues and she would commit to finding a fair, working solution. I learned a lot and am happy to be a LVN. It was well-worth the ~15 months of sacrifice as I learned so much and developed great mentors and relationships. If you're scanning this page thinking about becoming a LVN... I say go for it with Quest!

Hi everyone, please avoid this place at all costs. It's a run down place that's for sure just a…read moremoney grab. Besides the place being very dirty, it is cramped as well. Their grading system is extremely difficult, they are not forgiving at all. I know we have to be professional in this field and having a rigorous test is part of the experience, but the TO's who facilitated my test failed to acknowledge that I actually did do 2 steps. I was failed twice and then I immediately passed somewhere else. You're required to get every step correct, you can't miss a single step. They don't offer videos or refresher courses and we all know that the cna skills exam is very different from real life and the steps and requirements change often. My 2nd try, I got 100%, 98% and 95%, missing 1 step out the last 2, which I actually did perform and they still failed me. There is a REASON THIS PLACE is not accredited. I believe they are preying on immigrants or people in poverty, failing them for steps that are extremely hard to prove that we actually did, to obtain more money, knowing that these groups of people are desperate for work. Each skills exam is about $130. Many students in or around Oakland have complained about this same occurrence at this facility. Please, be aware! I had the same skill 2 times and each time they instructed me to perform it differently. One time, they instructed me to only use the sink in the main room (which is as tiny as a closet) and the 2nd time they instructed me to use the bathroom down the hall, for the same skill, within 1 week of each other. So the consistency is off too. The facilitator, Praise is rude and the other facilitator was on her phone, not even paying attention. No professionalism even though they require you to be professional. THE SCAM; If you don't show up 20 minutes early, they make you reschedule and pay again. They put it in really fine print as well. I saw someone show up, and I am not kidding, 18 minutes early. She actually might have been on time, but the woman who checks the ID's didn't come check hers until 18 minutes, and told her she had to reschedule and pay again even though the place was empty and it was just her and I in the building. They are strict with some things but because their facility is just not equipped for testing and their small room is as big as a closet, instead of a chair, they only have the wheelchair available. So when feeding a resident, you have to sit on the wheelchair, although I'm sure they would flunk you for that too. Some businesses do open with malicious intent and CNA testing sites can be an overlooked way for the business's to make money, especially when they flunk people. If you can - try testing through Credentia! And do not go there! Good luck everyone :)

Also, parking was easy, especially on a Sunday! Thank you, Kat! I am referring all of my friends to you and look forward to seeing you again!!!!!!!!
