I researched all the Available EMT schools around my area and decided on The Academy For Professional Development. I would highly recommend if you want to succeed in a career in EMS.

It's always been fine, just quite a bit slower than the local barber. This time, it did not turn out so well: I ended up with basically a number One on the sides and back but essentially a Zero up top. The sad part is that the presumably more experienced student who doubled checked it noticed a few things but did not call out the mistake. Too bad, coming here is not longer an option in the future.

One of the advisors in charge of attendance was incredibly judgmental to me personally. They are trying very hard to get people to attend and sign up because they need students money to stay open. I immediately told their financial aid department that I was unenrolling and to send ALL THE MONEY BACK to financial aid that they were receiving. So disappointed and really sad that the school did not care about my feelings when I asked for help. 10/10 DON'T RECOMMEND

You would think that the Main Mechanic AKA Teacher who is teaching these students what to do would check all the students works on the car once finished to make sure it was at least safe to drive and done decently... I think it was checked half ass and not properly... Had them put new shocks and struts on and they did exactly that... Took the car to Midas to have the brakes done which i'm glad I had Midas do and not them... Come to find out none of our tires were on correctly and bolted in properly. Midas looked at us like we were lucky to be alive. Tires were extremely loose and had so much wiggle room once lifted up... Please check and double check your work! They taught me a lesson to not come back to have free work done or recommend this school to anyone...

Every week I had BLACK phlegm and snot coming out for DAYS after class. I was complaining that it felt like i had sand in my eyes/burning type feeling they said its probably nothing/acted like they didnt know...after weeks of it not subsiding i googled it turns out i was burning my cornea. So they really dont know what welders flash/arc eye is? Old/jerry rigged equipment and 1-2 instructors for dozens of students. I was lucky if an instructor checked in on me once throughout the whole day. I feel bad for the students that are just toughing it out/dont know better...NOTHING is worth sacrificing your health find a proper school!

Tina constantly pressured me to join her "internship," even after I made it clear multiple times that I wasn't interested. I had already heard it was a scam, so my answer was no from the start. Despite that, she kept calling and blowing up my phone even outside of class. She was scaring me. After I refused several times, her attitude toward me completely changed. She became rude and aggressive. I honestly wish I had recorded it. She also tried to talk badly about another student to "bond" with me, which was unprofessional and uncomfortable. I didn't engage. SHE DID NOT LIKE THAT I DID NOT ENGAGe. At the end, she told me to come pick up my certificate, mind you I lived hours away, I drove all the way there, only to find out she didn't even have it. Total waste of time. She said she would mail it she never did. Tina is extremely unprofessional and disorganized. She was often late, canceled classes frequently, and provided little to no real value. I paid $3,000 for this course and learned nothing. It didn't lead to a job or any real opportunity. She rushed me into paying quickly through Apple Pay, claiming it was a "deal" and that the price would go up to $5,000 if I didn't act fast. That pressure alone should've been a red flag. This entire experience was a waste of time and money.

The staff and instructors genuinely care about their students and want to see us succeed. Mr. Bennie has been incredibly helpful throughout the program. He is very professional, always answers questions, and takes the time to guide students through any challenges. No matter what comes up, he always finds a way to help us out and make sure we stay on track. Ms. Brenda is truly an angel on earth. She is compassionate, supportive, and always encourages us when things get stressful. Her kindness makes such a difference during nursing school. Ms. Paula is an amazing teacher who explains concepts clearly and helps students feel confident in the material. She pushes us to do our best while still being supportive and understanding. Ms. Antoinette is the most patient and kind clinical instructor. She takes her time teaching us in clinicals and makes sure we feel comfortable learning hands-on skills. She creates such a positive learning environment and truly cares about her students. All of them have guided me, supported me, and helped me find the resources I need to continue growing in this program. Nursing school is not easy, but having instructors and staff like this makes all the difference. I can't wait to finish the program and continue my journey in nursing!

Please read before enrolling. I have just graduated from this LVN program, and I can honestly say…read morethat throughout the entire 12 months, the program was extremely unorganized. Module 1 was by far the most difficult not because of the material itself, but due to poorly prepared instructors who did not seem knowledgeable about what they were teaching, along with administration that relied heavily on fear and intimidation rather than support. Module 2 continued with the same issues. When I reached out for help regarding a class concern, I contacted Mr. Baca, the VN coordinator, and received a very cold, dismissive response. There was no compassion, no guidance, and his demeanor was unprofessional, rude, and insincere. This lack of support was consistent throughout the program. Module 3 was overall the easiest academically; however, the Med-Surg 2 instructor was frequently absent and displayed petty behavior, which further reflected the program's lack of structure and accountability. Module 4 was the one exception. Dawn, the OB instructor, was exceptional--she is one of the most passionate and dedicated nurses I have ever met. Ms. Charmaine, the instructor thats a NICU nurse was also outstanding and truly amazing. These two instructors were the highlight of the program and the only ones who genuinely cared about student learning and success. Along with Jay the clinical instructor, he holds a lot of passion for what he does. I did pass the exit exam and have completed the program. I would only recommend this school to individuals who are 100% committed to becoming a nurse, highly resilient, and capable of navigating a program with minimal support. Unfortunately, there is little to no help from instructors or management. Ms.Tu although i did not speak to her much she was always professional and helpful when i did contact her. Overall, this program lacks organization, professionalism, and adequate student support.
