I work for Ohana Pacific Management Company, we are the largest, locally own post-acute system in…read moreHawaii. Over the 20-years that we have been in business we have literally hired thousands and thousands of CNAs at the eight companies we own and operate throughout the State. After a while you start noticing patterns and one of the patterns that we have noticed that compared to most CNA schools, Healthcare Training & Career Consultants (HT&CC) does a GREAT job of preparing CNAs for the workforce. And it's not just me, I have heard Directors of Nursing, HR Managers, and Administrators tell me that they get excited when they see that a CNA applying for a job graduated from HT&CC because they have noticed that HT&CC students tend to come to work far better prepared than most. We have notice that HT&CC graduates seem more comfortable assisting with the activities of daily living, but it's also the little things like already knowing the importance of knocking before entering a room - this is a dignity issue, the critical need to wash hands before and after caring for a patient, providing privacy and blanket coverage when giving a bed bath, even knowing the normal ranges of blood pressure, heart rates, and breathing - things that you would expect that a RN would know but not necessarily a CNA. HT&CC graduates come to work already knowing these things that may seem small to most, but are critical to providing quality care. So when I am asked for recommendation for a CNA school or if one of my daughters wanted to become a CNA, I would without hesitation encourage them to attend HT&CC. And if you want to work as a CNA, know that when we see that a CNA job applicant is a recent graduate from HT&CC they automatically move to the very top of our interview list.

I had a really good time getting my CNA certification here. I'm not saying the school couldn't use…read moreany room for improvement, but I definitely learned a lot and made some great friends along the way. I had just finished my first semester of UH Nursing School when I took the CNA course, so I think that did give me some advantages. A lot of what I was learning was review, but it definitely was NOT as easy as I had thought it would be. Here are some tips if you are taking the CNA class. This is for the WAIPAHU AM class. I can't comment on the Honolulu classes or the Waipahu Evening class. - Get your TB and physical exam requirements done BEFORE you start the class. Seriously. - Do not park in the lot directly in front of the building or you will get towed. Park in the slanted stalls to the left (when you are facing the building) or the stalls in front of Max's. There is always ample parking close to the building. The Kalihi location parking is very tricky. - If you are a nursing student (or anyone else) and you signed up for Package A, make sure that you have your First Aid Certification. A majority of us didn't realize that we had our CPR certifications, but NOT First Aid. You need both for clinicals. We had to end up paying $40 to take the First Aid course at the Kalihi location in order to get the certification to take clinicals. - About 18 or 19 people out of the 27 in our class were already enrolled in nursing programs (bachelor's to become an R.N.). Most of these were from Chaminade, 3 of us were from UH, and 2 were at HPU. The rest were either people trying to get their feet wet in the healthcare field or were eventually trying to get into an LPN or RN program. - The class was LARGE. 27 people in a tiny classroom. If you are able to, try to get into a class that is smaller so you get more individualized attention and simply because the room was just way too small for all of us. - If you are signed up for the Waipahu location, don't expect everything to be at Waipahu. The clinicals are in town (Convalescent Center of Hawaii by Kuakini Hospital). Also, the First Aid/CPR course and the medical terminology classes are in town at the Kalihi location. Most people end up carpooling, but keep that in mind, especially if you don't have a car. - The stethoscope and BP kit that come with Package B and C aren't the best. They'll get you by just fine enough for the course, but if you're planning on making healthcare a career, I would highly suggest investing in a Littman stethoscope. - Since class is 6 days a week, I would also recommend having at LEAST 2 pairs of the white scrubs, but preferably 3 unless you plan on re-wearing your scrubs without washing them or doing laundry constantly. HT&CC sells them for $28 a pair which is pretty reasonable, but there might be other places on island that sell them for cheaper. If you have lots of time before your class starts, try looking online for white scrubs. I'm sure they're cheaper online. - Keep in mind that when you take the CNA training course, you get a certificate from HT&CC that says you completed the course. HOWEVER, you are NOT a Certified Nurse Assistant until you complete and successfully pass the American Red Cross exam, which is $275 or $285 if you take it through HT&CC. Until you pass the American Red Cross exam, you are only qualified to work as a Nurse Aid. NOT a "Certified" Nurse Aid/Assistant. The fail rate is high for the ARC license exam, so prepare in advance. - The Waipahu classroom A/C works a little too well, so bring a jacket. - There are plenty of places to eat around the Waipahu location. Much better food selection than the Kalihi location in my opinion. You have Leeward Drive-Inn, Thelma's, Max's, Golden Coin, L&L, Kin Sing, Jollibee, 7-11, Pacific Supermarket, etc all a super short walk away. Try to bring home lunch if you can to save money and calories. None of these fast food places are healthy. - The instructors switch out almost every day, but we had about 3 consistent instructors. Norma and Dr. Danao were our main instructors. Both of them have completely different teaching styles, but they were both great. - The book that is included with the course is actually really well-written and concise. I actually ordered the official American Red Cross Nurse Assistant textbook used through Amazon (for $19), and it was WAY thicker and more dense. There is a free online version of the ARC textbook online on the ARC website. - If you have tattoos, they will still let you take the course and attend clinicals, but you will have to cover them up. - No water fountains at the Waipahu building, bring your own water. - Clinicals are at Convalescent. Carpool b/c there is extremely limited street parking & parking at Kuakini is super expensive. Have fun :) It really is a good class.

Thid place and the people are really put of it…read more For anyone trying to get in contact with these people via phone or email do not waste your time. Literally waited 6 days to recieve a call back from a lady name mendy or mini or something like that who not only was very impatient to me but disrespectful. Litterally had to give her my name 6 exact times before she finally got it right THEN to add insult to me she began to talk smart to me though as if my my name is the problem. After saying she would send me the package for enrollment i waited and waited and called back to get voice mail the rest of the morning. Still no enrollement package Now angry i called to speak to a supervisor who name is supposedly Jessica who is neither responsive to voice mails neither picked up the phone all morning. How do you expect people to want to enroll when the trash answering phones there is being rude and some not even picking up. PLEASE DONT USE THIS COMPANY. I FOUND IT MUCH EASIER TO JUST GO TO KCC WHERE THEY WANT STUDENTS. I WOULDNT RECOMMEND this place or services to anyone who respects their time. You guys deserve a zero for customer support. Trash!

Michael Mazzella owes me 200k and he has stated in multiple emails that he does not intend to pay…read moreme back. I attended his courses in Honolulu and we made an investment deal in 2017. We signed a contract that I would lend him 200K and he would pay that back to me PLUS interest after one year. It has been 3 years now and he has paid back nothing. When I attended Mazella's course, I remember another man who was there, telling me that he was waiting on Mazella to pay HIM back...I should have seen that red flag and ran. Since the deal, I have become a quadruple amputee and I am 82 years old...the stress and heartache on me and my family has been unbearable. Now more than ever, with healthcare costs, long term care, I am depending on that repayment. I trusted this man and wish I hadn't. I have emailed him multiple times. Our contract stated I would be repaid with in ONE YEAR. He told me that he is 100% uncollectible because he does not hold assets in his name so there is no forced collection, levy or garnishment...and to not throw my good money after "bad." I interpret that to mean that he didn't have any plan to pay me back. In a recent email, when I asked him point blank : Do you have any intentions of repaying anything, this was his reply: "I've already answered this question. Twice in fact. Yet you keep asking as if doing so will change the answer. So I'm gonna answer it one more time. No. We have to wait until the deal resolves itself...If and when the foreclosure concludes and wipes out your interest, then you have lost money, and then we have that discussion. In the meantime you might want to consider lawyering up to protect your interests against the 1st position lender, who has named you as a defendant." Ultimately, the "Honolulu Mentor" or "Turtle Bay Mentor's" advice to me was to lawyer up, and my advice to anyone taking his class, is please do not make the same mistake I did by trusting this man...and the more I talk to people the more I find people just like me, in this situation with someone who did not hold up his end of the deal.

Your instructor and mentor, Michael, will teach you the right way to invest in any market. Just be ready to learn new concepts vs old school ways of thought about money, banking and real estate. In Michael, you have a mentor living and actively investing in Hawaii. I know quite a few graduates of the mentoring course who are very successful real estate investors after taking Michael's course and wanted to be successful as a real estate investor myself. Not knowing exactly what to expect I enrolled in the mentoring. Talk about drinking information from a fire hose! It's a lot to absorb during the week long course. He not only covers how to find deals and fund deals, ground you in the important fundamentals of real estate investing and will teach you from the ground up. Not only that, he teaches goal setting, who you need on your power team, critical thinking as well as mastermind groups. I really enjoyed the hands on training provided by going out to deals he has in progress. It comforting to know that even after graduating, I know that he is available for questions for up to 30 days. I'm am now a graduate of Honolulu Mentor and feel confident, because of Michael, I am now on my way to create the best year of my life! THANK YOU, MICHAEL! You're my hero!
