New "If I could give zero stars I would" This place is a…read moremoney grab, it's not worth it and you're better off going to the community college, even if it means that it will take a bit longer plus the cost is way lower than this place. I went in for the LVN program for the first two semesters and it was terrible. The first semester they try to cram in biology, anatomy and physiology all one, within 8 weeks. I passed that semester with high grade but it was truly done on my own. The instructors just read off of a PowerPoint presentation for 3 hours, there really isn't much teaching. Also they like to test their students with NCLEX style questions which seems like it would be a nice way to get experience for the real thing, except they don't show you how to take these type of testing or what to expect. I believe at one point the instructor said they expect us to fail these tests the first few times, as if that's some sort of way to teach? I was hoping that after that first semester was over and once we got into the actual LVN courses it would get better but it didn't. Same thing, it's a lot of teaching yourself as you go, and using a lot of outside resources to learn. For the amount of money they charge, you would think that you would receive a better education, but it seems like the instructors are only there to babysit you while you teach yourself. I will say there was one instructor that actually taught some classes, Allan, he was the only one that seemed like he was there to help students. I unfortunately had a family emergency that caused me to miss a day and since I was not able to make the hours up I decided to drop out of the program, which in hindsight was a blessing in disguise. Now I'm going to Shasta Community College to finish my degree and I'm actually leaning more and getting the tools I need to make a great nurse once I'm out in the real world. Another thing to take into account is their attendance policy, you cannot miss any days, making up the hours is impossible if you have a job. They don't care what the reason is, the only thing they'll "excuse" is a family death, which you will have to provide a death certificate to prove it. The place I work at has lots of graduates from this place and they never have anything positive to say about it, which should have been my warning. Overall I would definitely recommend not going here, the lure of having part time evenings classes available sounds great especially for those that have to work full time but I promise you it's not worth it.

The career services person (amber) was no help at all. Never answered any texts and waited last minute to do anything. Daisha was the only person there who was great, amazing instructor. Super easy to talk to and was always willing to help. Save your money and don't come here. Stepful will be your best bet.

The one time I came over here, they helped me out a bunch. I doubled with another student for a few hours training with Kevin. Super informative and tests you on your knowledge and if you grasp the concept which is exactly what the DMV testers are looking for. That you understand the steps you are doing. I did my backing maneuvers well and drive for 30-45 minutes with Kevin then went to the DMV. Hour and a half later, call them to pick me up after I had passed they were there within a short amount of time. Couldn't thank these guys enough for helping me out and understanding I was ripped off by Jiffy 3 times. They're success rate on passing you is much higher than Jiffy. My buddy and his buddy tested the Saturday before I did and they both passed. Which says it all as opposed to the sketchy and unprofessional place at Jiffy. Thanks again to the staff here, I really appreciate you all and your professionalism. Edit: if you're a veteran they accept the GI Bill for a short 4 week course up to 15 weeks with no money out of your pocket.

When I called to sign up for my class they asked if I had the book or if I knew anyone with one.

They were very helpful and I would tell anyone to take their classes.
