Need a guard card!? Look no further than Transcend. I was in need of a guard card and fortunately…read moremy training was paid for. The booking process is easy and available online. The course is an 8 hour in class training. The classroom is located off Piikoi and Kapiolani in the National Bank Building. Parking isn't available. Pro tip is to park at Ala Moana and walk over. It's a two minute walk from the Foodland farms parking. As for the class it started at 8:30 am which I think it the typical time. My class size was actually pretty small (6) which made it great for conversational learning. Typically the class is about 20-30 people or so. You need to bring an ID to verify your registration. Then you receive your test packet and answer key. The class covers all the state mandated topics need to attain your guard card. Each topic is broken down and then your are tested on it. It's not difficult, just pay attention and you will be fine. At the end of the day you will receive your guard certification. The instructor/owner of Transcend is Jeff. He is absolutely amazing. He is very personable and professional. He also makes the content easy to understand and also has a good sense of humor. He made the day go by quite quickly and he allowed us to take breaks and we also breakers for lunch. I enjoyed his class and will definitely be getting my continued education training from Transcend when I need to get my renewal in a couple years. If your looking for a professional to lead a workplace violence or terroristic threatening preparedness class I would highly recommend him. His experience along with his teaching methods are very effective and extremely helpful.

I recently too the 8 hour initial guard training with Jeffrey Owens and was very impressed. I have…read morebeen to many seminars and courses regarding military training, interrogation, interview techniques, safety & health and others and this class was as good as it gets. I'm not saying it was the best I've ever been to, but it was as good as any I have ever been to. As people however, I do not think you will find a more pure soul and two people with more Aloha in their being than Jeff and his lovely wife Char. Thanks for making an educational experience a fun and meaningful one.

I did the Phlebotomy program here. Heo the instructor was VERY good. Made learning very exciting…read moreand he was super knowledgeable and helpful! I learned a lot and felt very confident by the time I finished the program. The owner, Cionie was very friendly and really cares about each and everyone involved.

I would recommend to friends and family!

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.

CNA Solutions was recommended to me by a friend of the owner during my search for a CNA program…read morethat wouldn't take too long as I only had a little bit of time to spare to pursue this goal due to uncertainty of what the future held for me between July and October. The owners, Gary and his wife, Anna, both have amazing heart for healthcare and are both active in the field. Gary is very accommodating and works with you to figure out what the best course would be for you whether you take the accelerated day course which is 2.5 weeks or the night course which is 4 weeks. At first I was hesitant and many unexpected life changes happened that I couldn't attend in his original August cohort when I got the courage to pursue this goal. So I ended up in his September cohort. And I truly believe God himself wanted me to join the September cohort because even though I was afraid to go back and give it a try after not being available in August when I had planned to join, I finally went through with it and showed up on the first day of class and had the honor and pleasure of meeting and working with the most amazing people from all walks of life. You not only gain classmates, you gain friendships for life, and potential coworkers as you all pursue different goals for taking the class. We even made ourselves a YouTube page for our class so we can reference all our training videos we recorded in class so we can reference them when studying for the prometric exam. Whether you're in pre-nursing, opening your own care home, working at a facility already, or simply learning how to best help provide care for a loved one, I promise you will not leave this class empty handed or doubting your own ability. You will learn what it takes to do your job well, the right way, and have a newfound appreciation for everyone you encounter in this line of work. We made lifelong friendships and learned the amount of heart and compassion it takes to do this line of work. While some people may view it as "just entry level" work, you matter just like everyone else in the healthcare industry. I personally will be eternally grateful to Gary and Anna's CNA school for giving me a chance when I was too afraid thinking it's too late to give myself that chance. Gary is a genuinely caring soul and wants to see everyone succeed. He even opens his doors to allow you to train for the prometric exam before your exam date so you can take your skills test with absolute confidence and pass on the first try. He takes care of his facility on his own as well so be respectful of his property and clean up after yourselves lol. He does all his own linen/towel washing too so be mindful when using his supplies. Gary and Anna, thank you so much for opening your doors and hearts to teach us how to be successful CNAs. I am grateful for the opportunity to have learned from you and helping me see other doors opening to many possibilities for the future, no matter what they may be. You helped open a path for me that had been blocked for years until now. Mahalo nui loa, Christina

I loved taking this course! I took the accelerated 4 week hybrid program. Each week consisted of…read morehomework and quizzes, sticks were on Saturday, and you end the program with 2 exams. Homework, quizzes, and exams were done on your own time. They are heavy, but Porscha gives you all the material you need (as well as the textbook) to help you. She was also available if you ever get stuck or need help. The homeworks and quizzes also prepare you for the national exam. Sticks on Saturday were my favorite part of this course! We had 2 different instructors (Holly and Kalia). Both instructors were kind, patient, and informative with their teachings. Overall, I definitely recommend taking this program. I chose this program instead of a program at KCC because it was the most convenient for me. Another great thing is that you can either pay for it in full or pay in installments.

I felt well prepared for the test, and I received my renewal via email just a couple days after the class. Highly recommend for anyone needing CPR certification or renewal.

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!
