In a larger class, I definitely wouldn't have had that experience especially since I'm usually shy about asking questions. Yolanda was great as well. She scheduled me for a class quickly and even followed up afterward to make sure I received my certification card. Bonus that the class was only $49, compared to another agency I was looking at that charged $90. Overall an 11/10 experience!!

DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS SCHOOL! NOT WORTH THE MONEY OR…read moreHEADACHE! They overcrowd the class & have old worn out/old supplies & items. The class is way to small to small to study skills because they only care about getting the most students in to make as much money as possible.

While Southwestern College offers a diverse range of degree programs, their admissions process is…read morelacking. Communication is terrible, often delaying the ability to register for classes or even make a counseling appointment. Unlike other colleges I have attended where to be a transfer student is a simple handoff with realistic processing timeframes with transcripts and responses, the staff at Southwestern College do not answer their phones and take weeks to respond via email with often misinformation. I submitted my transcripts March 15th, and emailed the counseling office to request for an appointment for an education plan. It took them 2 weeks to get back to me only to say they must be evaluated first. Reasonable, although other college allow you to book a general appointment so they can clear your prerequisites to at least register. I email the evaluations department which another 2 weeks go by with them saying that they can't view my transcripts and to contact admissions. I then proceed to email admissions for them to say it takes 4-5 weeks to upload my transcripts. At this point I'm absolutely astounded by the amount of inefficiency at this school. I have been to various community colleges and never had this amount of difficulty to just to enroll so that I may be able to register for the Fall semester. Finally, I received notice after a follow up email that my transcripts are visible and to contact evaluations for review, which I do, and they verify they can view my transcripts and will take 4-5 weeks to process, but to contact the counselors office for an education plan. I finally get through via telephone only to be told I cannot set up an appointment until my transcripts are evaluated. I can't even drop in for a general appointment so that I may register or clear prerequisites. I have never had this experience at other colleges and now contemplating if it's even worth continuing because if this is reflection of their school that promotes opportunities and resources, how am I to have trust that their will not be constant roadblocks in the future, pawning me off to be someone else's problem in another department. If you really want to transfer to this school, I suggest starting 6 months in advance and prepare to be going around in circles like a carousel.

A colleague referred me to Lisya, and I'm so glad they did! One of the things I appreciated most…read morewas the flexibility she offers with multiple class times and locations throughout the week, making it easy to find an option that fit my schedule. Lisya is incredibly transparent and communicative. If there were ever any delays or barriers, she addressed them immediately and found a solution right away. Her class was knowledgeable, insightful, engaging, and comprehensive. I especially appreciated learning about the three most recent updates since my last BLS training. It was valuable information that I may not have received elsewhere. She also introduced me to an innovative device designed to help choking victims and shared a heartfelt story about training hospice nurses on how to use it. Her passion for education and patient safety really stood out. She highly recommended having one of these devices at home, and I can absolutely see why. It will be some time before I need to renew my certification, but I'm already looking forward to coming back to Lisya for my next renewal. Highly recommend!
