    I am very grateful to have done my training as a CNA here. But the environment and staff was so…read moreincredibly unprofessional and rude. I was in the PM class (4-8pm) and our class and clinical instructor was Ms. Joye. She was very kind but at the start we were having issues feeling like we weren't really learning. No one said much we just collectively studied the material on our own. One day she was out for the day and we got a new instructor, Mr. Irving. He started us off with a test and then sent us off to split up. All of us were confused because we had never done anything like that. He realized the problem was Ms. Joye hadn't been doing that with us. She had told us before she is usually a clinical instructor, so theres some forgiveness for her. She's a very kind older lady. We told him we were having issues because we weren't really learning anything, and he said he would tell Mrs. Hall to see what we could do. The next day she comes in and is just yelling at the class and turning it into our fault that we weren't learning anything. I mean if an entire class says to another instructor that they don't feel like they are learning much, why would you come in and yell at them for not putting in more effort?? That on its own changed everyone's opinion on this school. Mrs. Hall handled that situation in the worst way possible and we were only about a week or so in. Keep in mind we are technically there "after hours" so if we had any issues, there was no other staff that anyone could talk to. Once our next payment came in, I had emailed to ask if I could pay over the phone since we could only come in from 8-2 and I have no way of getting there. Mrs. Hall told me yes and it's ok to do. I called the next day to call and it was the other guy that works there (I can't remember his name I only saw him at registration). I called asking if I can pay over the phone and he was very questionable about it. Then I could hear Mrs. Hall asking (more in a yelling tone) who is on the phone and then she said that it's okay and I can pay over the phone. I'm not sure what happened but I could hear her yelling at him and that alone also made me uncomfortable. But I guess it's none of my business what happens. On the day of our in class physical and TB test, I understand there is definitely some stress going on because everyone is on a strict schedule. But the mood in the rooms was very angry. Mrs. Hall was angry the entire time and I felt like I couldn't ask any questions because she would just yell at me. On the day of passing out our scrubs, she was very clearly in a rush and just wanted to get it over with quickly. Once we started our clinicals at a facility, we had two instructors. Ms. Joye and Mr. Luis. We ended up having issues with some of the staff and let Mr. Luis know about it all. He immediately took action and called the other staff. The next day, Mrs. Hall came to talk to us at the end of that first week. She told us she was sorry for what happened and that she will try to move us to a new facility. Then the next Monday we all were back in class for that day practicing skills. This was the best reaction I saw from her and it showed she was trying to help us. Everything went smoothly at the other facility besides slight miscommunication between the two instructors. On our "graduation" day, Mrs. Hall was absolutely in a rush, and made it very obvious that she was annoyed with the amount of people who had missed days. I never missed any days but I was one of I believe six people who was there everyday throughout the three month period. She was clearly upset about it and that's okay but she was very obvious about it. She was extremely angry because some people kept messing up writing our dates on the new skill sheet. We had to transfer information over, but it didn't fit and some people were confused. She was very angry and yelled at them and made it a big deal if you asked a question to clarify anything. Yes this process took longer than it should've, but there is absolutely no reason to get so angry about people asking clarifying questions. She also provided no further help on how to actually go out and take the State tests. Another classmate asked and she seemed shocked we didn't know how. Once my information was set on the TMU website, I noticed it said I still had to pay $130 for the two tests. I remember at registration I paid for the all inclusive package. I have a picture of that paper. I know exactly what it says. The first thing it says is that they secure the school as your testing location, but she told us many people are going out of town because they haven't been able to get one here. As of today, October 7, there are two things that I technically paid for and have not received. I did not ever receive a gait belt, I was encouraged to buy my own. I also did not get the state tests paid for. That's an extra $145 that they kept from me. My review won't fit on here, please read the rest in the screenshot attached

    First of all let me Thank All the office Staff!! Mrs. Nancy, Mrs. Hall, and Edgar!…read more Had somebody told me three months ago that I'd be ready for my CNA certification today, I wouldn't have believed them. The reality is that I found a fantastic school with passionate instructors and staff. The program is designed with the first half in class learning the bookwork, followed by on-site training. The opportunity to start practicing what we learned so quickly was great, and having Mr. Anthony and Mrs. Monica there to instruct and show us how to perform the work was inspirational. I can't say enough how much this program has changed my life, and I feel confident that I'll pass when I take the certification tests. I would recommend that anyone considering the CNA profession talk to them ASAP.

    I had such a great experience working with Kristopher Rios throughout my entire enrollment process…read morefor the ADN-RN program! From the very beginning, he made what could have been an overwhelming process feel so much easier and more personal. He helped me get started, set up my interviews and meetings, answered all of my questions, and guided me through every step all the way up to my acceptance into the program. What I appreciated most about Kristopher was how supportive, responsive, and genuinely invested he was in helping me succeed. He always made sure I knew what was coming next and that I felt prepared throughout the process. Starting nursing school is such a huge step, and having an advisor like Kristopher made such a difference in my experience getting here. Even now that I'm officially in the program, I know I can still reach out to him if I ever have a question or need help with something. I'm so grateful for everything he did to help me get to this point. Definitely my favorite advisor!!

Dolores was warm, welcoming, and genuinely supportive as I transitioned to Fresno. Her guidance made me feel seen as more than just a student record--she listened carefully, offered thoughtful assistance, and helped make an unfamiliar transition feel much more manageable. I am very grateful for her professionalism, compassion, and commitment to supporting students. Her welcome to Fresno and to the RN program made a meaningful difference in my experience. I look forward to sharing an updated review of the school after I have completed the program. Still, I wanted to acknowledge Dolores now for the positive impact she has already had.

    I graduated from IOT's HVAC program in June of 2026…read more I'll try and keep it as short and to the point as possible. To start to all my fellow veterans DO NOT waste your hard earned GI bill on this place there are better options and you can't get it back. This place is a welfare to work school through and through. As a guy who just got out of the Marines as a mechanic I was looking to get into HVAC and IOT had openings in the program at the time I was looking, they have a pretty solid administration office that sells the school and program to you and give you a sense of professionalism when you do your initial tour. Once you sign the papers and start classes is when you see the reality. To keep it short roughly 90% of your fellow students will be welfare sponsored by what's called workforce connection hence a vast majority don't even want to be there, scroll on their phone all day, barely show up throughout the course. Basically If you show up a few times and type a "1-2 sentences on what you've learned" for each assignment you'll pass, I had a kid in the class that showed up pretty much only for the finals and still graduated with no issues. The staff even made jokes about how bad his attendance was but obviously no one cared enough to ensure there was a professional environment where standards were held for the education and student conduct. I also had an incident where my property was stolen in the lab by a fellow student and luckily I caught him and when confronted he threatened to fight me. Im an adult and not going to partake in foolish activities especially at what's supposed to be a professional education center and followed the proper chain of command for reporting the incident and was ensured it wouldn't be "brushed under the rug" and it would be "properly dealt with" long story short nothing happened with the student, no repercussions happened and he was allowed to continue on like normal and graduated a few weeks later. There was also multiple threats and warnings posted due to other students who were attending this institution. There is no accountability to uphold a safe and professional learning environment from the directors whatsoever. Lastly to wrap it up and hit all the main points I'll give some credit from my personal experience with the staff and say the administrative office does a great job at helping you through the enrollment process, the girls at the front desk are extremely helpful and great at their job, the instructors are good people but you can tell some of them are just there for a paycheck and there's not really a lot of learning that will occur. I had multiple weeks where sometimes we didn't even know who was supposed to be the instructor/substitution for the day because they were absent and us students would sit for hours in class doing nothing until the school scrambled up someone to "sit in" on the class. The school really is just submitting your elementary style homework on an E-textbook and taking the quiz at the end of the week. I will say though Mr. Markus does a great job of instructing in person in the labs and the labs seemed to be improving towards the last few weeks of my time at IOT before graduating since he took some feedback from the students and implemented it into the lab work. I also would like to give credit to Jonathan in career services who does come into the class and try and get to know some of the students and potentially help them in their search for a career. There is a lot of downtime that could be used for instruction and learning where people are typically sitting on their phones, the environment feels more like a high school then it does a college, there is no accountability or expectation for professionalism and safety, you'll walk away from here with a few certs you could have paid a couple hundred bucks instead of 20k+ to take online that you need about a day to study for (the school uses the same courses and tests you can do by yourself online and drags it out over 5 week intervals). If it were up to me I would say look elsewhere for better opportunities, but that's really just my opinion based off my personal experience.

I've been applying to their radiology technician program since 2021 and here we are in 2026.

If I would've known that straight out of high school I would've gladly went to a private school and pulled a loan instead of wasting my time hoping to get accept at FC. SCCCD has so many campuses, but yet they have the whole entire state trying to apply to their programs at one campus. This district is allowing their students to waste money on their prerequisites knowing that their allied health programs are overfilled with applicants. Your chances of getting into a program are almost slim to none.

    Considering National University for a Psy D? DO NOT DO IT. Formerly, the PsyD program was at JFK…read moreUniversity, acquired by National University, and then ran independently. Assured that JFK University would remain open and independent, they eventually closed JKF University, surrendered the APA accreditation, and began a "new" program under the National Unversity banner, naming the program The JFK School of Psychology at National University. After 3/4 of the faculty resigned and multiple staff promised to stay with the program, they too resigned. Several new, mostly adjunct faculty filled in some of the gaps yet the program remains understaffed, underfunded, and now, UNACCREDITED. The program is currently seeking accreditation and if granted by the APA, you will know the accreditation process is a sham. I won't even touch basis on the hypocritical curriculum, communication problems, lack of transparency, or the basic lack of a catalog describing the coursework required and the class content for the doctoral degree. You will be on your own. The JFK University financial aid department continues its ineptitude and arguably criminal conduct under the National University banner. Don't expect any information on your loans. Expect late loan disbursements while you accrue interest on money you haven't been given, 2+ weeks to respond to your email inquires, and expect NO CONTACT via phone with the financial aid department. LOOK ELSEWHERE FOR A PSYD program and AVOID THIS ONE AT ALL COSTS. You have been warned.

    I'm a part of NU's BSN program. We are almost done, but wanted to write an overall experience…read morereview of the program for future students. 1. Scheduling. Have a job? Good luck not getting fired. They send out class schedules sometime the DAY before, so scheduling shifts (if they are anything like mine) is impossible. You WILL be calling out and if your job is strict on attendance. 2. Price. It's a private school so I never expected a cheap program. However, itemized billing is a little... shady. "Technology fees" "Nursing fees" etc... all random, un-detailed, charges for each class. If I had more insight as to what I was paying for, I wouldn't be concerned. They raised the price of tuition for 2023, at least I think that is was happened- we NEVER got a notice that this would happen, they just started charging more in monthly tuition in the new year. 3. Professors. In the BSN program, they are very hit & miss. Sometimes, you'll get one that truly wants you to succeed. Other times... they are there for the paycheck. 4. Class times/days. Look, as I mentioned, I get it's a private school. But... 6 hour classes on Sundays? In the morning? Really? What about those who attend church? School is more important? I guess it depends on who you ask. They go off of the professor's schedule, which is fine. But really? Sat/Sun classes are common & mess up a lot of your family & rest time. 5. Guidance counseling. Never heard of her. You are assigned one, but 9 times out of 10 they are from the san diego unit and will have no clue what you're talking about (concerning Fresno's program). 6. Support. Need to reach somebody? Maybe about your bill? Unless you are signing up for classes, expect a week's wait. 7. Hierarchy. There really isn't one. Lots of professors are leaving for many of the reasons above. They are short-staffed and are assigned to a class within a few days of it starting. I feel just as bad for them as I do for students. 8. Opportunities. As an NU student, you will NOT be able to get a job in the hospital as a nurse extern. You will need to enter as a PCT/CNA. I've done this for 3 years, so it's fine. However, externships are crazy beneficial to the schools around us and their students. it is a paid, hands-on, clinical day. You get way more experience doing this, but NU does not contract with any local hospitals (as of now). There are few volunteer opportunities and they only sign you up for the minimum clinical hours required by the BRN. Overall, there are many flaws to this program. I have learned a lot and have had great experiences. If you have the grades and TEAS score and get in, I wouldn't say it's bad enough you shouldn't accept the admission, but just be prepared for a lot of difficulties throughout your time with NU. Good luck future nurses :)!

    There is no way that I can recommend the school nurse services credential program through this…read moreuniversity! Upon the enrollment of the program, I had to send in all my transcripts and official documents 3 times because every time I sent them, the program coordinators claimed they never received my transcripts and documents. I sent all of my official paperwork in via FedEx, so I know it was delivered and was even signed for by someone from their office! They claimed I was missing a transcript, so I directly sent them the transcript in question. In the meantime, I was put on the wait list to begin the program the next year. At this time, I was told by the program coordinators that they had too many applicants and not enough places available and that is why I was wait listed for the following year. Fast forward to the following year and the program coordinators are contacting me about the same transcript in question - they claimed that they did not have the transcript on file! So I had to re-order the transcript and have it directly sent to the program coordinators! This made the 5th time I had sent this transcript to them!!!!!! It was after I sent the transcript in question once again that I was told the reason I didn't get accepted to the program the year prior was due to this transcript missing from my file, yet I sent it to them!!!!!! I was lied to about my admission to the program! Once in the program, it was completely ridiculous! The professors/instructors could not even figure out how to use or operate a basic Zoom meeting and students were having to tell them what to click on and how to create the links, etc! The assignments were ridiculous. I was able to complete all the assignments and answer all the weekly discussion questions based on my own experiences - I never even had to open the "required" readings/texts that I was required to purchase! Thank goodness I purchased a used textbook, since I didn't even need it! The professors claimed that you had to submit all assignments in APA format, yet they didn't even know APA format! All the sample papers that the professors provided had completely incorrect APA formatting! For the clinical courses, you were required to meet via Zoom meeting with the professor. Well, as the student, you would think the meeting would be scheduled around your schedule (keep in mind all students were working from home full time and in this ridiculous program full time). Nope! Your meeting had to revolve around the professor's schedule. So my professor scheduled multiple student Zoom meetings per day and got all the zoom links confused. She sent me the wrong zoom meeting link and blamed it on her internet! A Zoom meeting that should have started at 10:00 AM didn't start until 10:35 AM! I would submit all assignments prior to the due date and was accused of not submitting them on time! I then had to argue with the professors and provide proof of timely submission. THIS is the level of incompetence with the professors of this program! Now, about graduation....what a complete joke! At any other state program for credentialing, you can walk in the commencement ceremony. I was denied the opportunity to participate in the commencement because I was not getting a degree. All in the name of COVID! This was NOT during the lockdown and was well after the reopening of nearly everything! So here I spent over $10,000 cash on a piece of paper from this program, constantly argued with incompetent professors for an entire year, only to be denied the opportunity to participate in their commencement ceremony when every other program in the state allows credential earners to walk in the ceremony! I called to inquire about walking in the ceremony and was told that all other departments were walking except mine! I asked to speak with someone about the reasoning and see if there were any other ceremonies. My information was taken and I was supposed to get a call back. To this day I have NEVER received a call back! Liars & Scammers! ZERO STARS!

No one reached out to me to see if I was OK or needed help on something. They automatically dropped me without thinking I just didn't wanna go to the course. I was in and out he hospital with chest pains, as I was in and out the hospital I was trying to get my accommodations back when I got a message a day before they were approved that I was dropped. I highly don't recommend this school. When I went to my financial aid director he tried telling me I had to pay my free grants back when grants are free to us who go to school. For me to find out at the new school I'm going to I don't got to pay any grants back by law because those grants are mine. Jesse in the financial aid department made me really upset as he kept arguing with me like I did not read the disclosure etc before I applied to go to college which normally the student is the one who should be right. At my new college they text you or call you to see if your ok if you can make it to class, and overall they make you feel like your family and that you belong there unlike this school, and don't get me started on the cousoulors who when you say your accommodations were canceled and you got dropped out class and you have a disability and don't know how to get into your messages they try and say it's your job to go on your emails and check your messages instead of helping you figure out what went on or asking if your ok.
