The instructor came over to do the class and for the first time I really enjoyed the class, It was easy and interesting, I understood every thing and learn more than the first time I took the clas and I got my certificate online from the Red Cross 30 minutes later. I definitely will take the class again in two years with the same provider.

- Central Valley Medical…read more I've been coming to Central Valley Medical for years for my BLS, ACLS, and PALS certifications, and I continue to come back every renewal cycle for a reason. If you're a healthcare professional or entering healthcare and need certification or continuing education in the Central Valley, this is the place I recommend. They offer a wide range of courses, including HeartCode CPR, BLS, ACLS, PALS, NRP, and other healthcare education. They also offer TNCC when a group of six or more can be organized, LVN IV therapy courses, and a newer CNA program. For BLS, ACLS, and PALS, they offer both initial and renewal courses. One of my favorite options is the combination ACLS/PALS course with a BLS challenge. For healthcare professionals who have to maintain multiple certifications every couple of years, being able to handle them efficiently through one organization is extremely convenient. The owner, Kevin, is a fantastic instructor. He knows the material extremely well but, more importantly, knows how to teach it. Robert and Daniel are also excellent instructors, and the office staff has always been friendly and helpful. What really separates Central Valley Medical from other places I've taken healthcare courses is the learning environment. It is stress-free, low-pressure, and judgment-free. Topics like ACLS and PALS can be intimidating, particularly for someone taking them for the first time, but the instructors make the material approachable without sacrificing the quality of the education. Whether you're brand new to healthcare or an experienced clinician renewing a certification you've held for years, you're treated with respect. They have locations in both Madera and Fresno, and the instructors work between the two, so I've found the quality to be consistent regardless of which location I use. The facilities themselves are comfortable and temperature-controlled, parking is easy, and they have small snacks available during classes. You can also bring your own food or coffee, which is convenient when you're going to be there for a longer course. The facility is also accessible for people with mobility needs. After going here for years, I really don't have a reason to take my certification courses anywhere else. Kevin has built an excellent educational environment with knowledgeable instructors, helpful office staff, and a teaching style that makes required healthcare education considerably less stressful. For BLS, ACLS, PALS, or other healthcare education in the Fresno/Madera area, Central Valley Medical is the first place I recommend.

I am a little upset about a comment that was made during one of the CPR class on 6-6-2026…read more One of the instructors made a comment stating that a selfish person had soon a certain company and that the business that they sued is no longer in business because of this selfish person apparently the instructor of this class doesn't know the situation of the incident at hand the instructor is paid to instruct the class on CPR not to give his comments on what he feels or thinks about incidents he was not involved in I feel that the instructor needs to be reprimanded for the comments that he made and that he apologize for the comments that you made in that class Everyone has an opinion his opinion is to himself he doesn't need to share with the rest of the class

I booked the class and was able to take it within 24 hours--no long waits or difficulties…read morescheduling. It was also conveniently close to home. They offer classes frequently, including Saturdays and Sundays, which makes it easy to fit the required class into a busy schedule without an excessive wait. The small-group setting, with no more than eight students per class, was another big plus. The instruction was clear and precise, and the instructor was fantastic! Everything was demonstrated several times to make sure everyone truly understood. The instructor answered all questions thoroughly and made sure everyone was prepared to successfully pass the test. Overall, it was such a great experience. The time flew by, and they even provided snacks, water, and coffee if desired. I would definitely recommend this class to anyone looking for a convenient, well-organized, and supportive experience!

I left the course feeling much more prepared and confident in starting IVs and performing the techniques we learned.

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.
