I highly HIIIIGHLY recommend BATA to anyone interested in and serious about EMS. Took an 8-week…read morecourse, and it was a blast. Scottie Johnson is a fantastic instructor. I cannot stress how chill and nice he was. The course was taking a toll on my physical and mental health, but Scottie's cheerful optimism kept me going. He truly embodies positive energy and makes lectures so much more bearable. His storytelling and advice were very eye-opening as well. I regret not approaching him for help more often. However, unsurprisingly, it's very rigorous. For anyone looking at an 8-week course, you will spend 20 hours a week: 10 hours on lectures (MW or TTh; 5 hours each) and 10 on skills (Sunday); of course, with breaks in between. Lectures will cover 6 chapters per week, and you will take lecture exams every weekend on the day of your skills instruction. You should be able to dedicate a huge amount of time to reading through the course material (at least 20 hours imo). So please reconsider your decision if you're planning to work or study full-time during the course. Otherwise, give it a shot! Be cool and professional, and most important of all, make sure you have a great time. I promise you, it'll be worth it.

I recently completed the 8-week EMT course at Bay Area Training Academy in Milpitas, and I…read moregenuinely could not have asked for a better experience. Our main instructor, Michael, had close to a decade of paramedic experience, and it showed every single day in class. He constantly went above and beyond when teaching, not only preparing us for the EMT course itself, but also giving us insight into the life, responsibilities, and reality of working as a paramedic. That perspective was incredibly helpful in understanding both the EMT role and what the next steps in this field can look like. One thing I really appreciated was how focused he was on making sure everyone passed their exams and skill evaluations. I never once felt unprepared going into a test or practical. He did a great job balancing the actual coursework with real-life stories from the job, many of which were honestly hilarious and made class much more engaging and memorable. I also want to give a huge shoutout to the additional skills instructors they brought in during the course. Having multiple experienced providers helping on skills days made a huge difference. Zach, a flight paramedic, was awesome and incredibly knowledgeable, and Randy, an EMT with 30 years of experience, was one of the kindest instructors I've met. Both of them, along with the rest of the instructors, brought their own style and personality to the class and genuinely seemed to care about helping us succeed. I'll be honest -- this course is not easy. It takes real effort, studying, and commitment. But coming from someone who traditionally hasn't been great at school and had zero medical experience before starting, it is absolutely doable if you put in the work and aren't afraid to participate and put yourself out there. I had an amazing time in this program. My class was full of great people, and the overall experience is something I wouldn't change in the slightest. I'm really grateful for everything I learned here and would absolutely recommend Bay Area Training Academy to anyone considering EMT school.

My experience at Product School was positive from start to finish. It began with an identified need…read morefor me to seek formal education in PM prior to interviewing for a role. With that in mind, I was presented two options for industry-leading knowledge providers...and I chose Product School. Why? Because from the moment I engaged with the PS team, I was presented with timely, accurate, and relevant information pertaining my anticipated role and how they could assist me in being better prepared. At no point did anyone there "guarantee" me anything - which was much appreciated on my part. The financial admissions process was straightforward through a third-party lender and I was admitted into the upcoming course within a few days. A flurry of emails went out within a few minutes of acceptance and on-boarding was completed digitally in minutes. Now to the important stuff - how was the actual course? In short, it was excellent and far exceeded my expectations. I was fortunate to be surrounded by incredibly capable and engaged fellow learners and led by Rocky Sharma as an instructor. During the five days we covered all of the basic level skills required to understand the PM role and Rocky routinely placed us into learning groups to validate our theoretical concepts. If this were a course that lasted another week, I'd gladly make the time. I feel a lot better prepared now for my upcoming interview as a Product Manager and am looking forward to seeing how and where my new alum network goes in life. It's been a great week and I would recommend this course to a lot of folks considering starting a company, all the way to the potential product manager role!

As much as I am not a fan of Facebook I have to thank them because they showed me and Ad about NexGent's ZTE (Zero to Engineer) program. I started doing research on what a Network Engineer does and realized this was what I wanted to do. I watched an intro video on their website and submitted my info. The next day I received a call from NexGent and spoke with Matt for about an hour and signed up the same day. The program itself is amazing. Jacob and Terry did a great job putting it together. They start on a very basic level and gradually move up to more complex things. They are natural teachers. They also have a group coaching call once a month for an hour. I was able to get all of my questions answered. Fast Forward to 8 months later and I am know proud to say that with their help, I have obtained my Comptia Network + and Full CCNA (200 - 125) and I am currently working towards getting my CCNP.

Current student going through the program and may change rating based on ongoing experience…read more I started the program about 2-3 weeks ago, mainly because they recently began offering weekend classes, which worked well for me since I have a demanding full-time job. So far, unfortunately, my experience has not been great. I'm not sure if it's because the hybrid/online model is still new for them, but it really feels like they don't have the process fully organized yet. Most of the issues come down to lack of communication and unclear expectations for online students. Once I paid my deposit, I wasn't really guided through the next steps. I was briefly shown the portal we use for coursework (CIMA) and told to download WhatsApp because that's how we communicate with instructors. Beyond that, I pretty much had to figure things out on my own. I even had to personally ask questions in the group chat because I was confused, and it turned out several other students felt the same way. Eventually we found out there's an orientation every Monday, but nobody clearly explained that upfront. The virtual learning environment has also been frustrating. During online sessions, chats are muted and virtual students can't really ask questions because the instructors are focused on the in-person class. That honestly makes no sense to me considering online students are paying the same tuition as in-person students. It feels like the virtual students are an afterthought. Even submitting homework has been confusing. We use Dropbox, but I was basically just told to "download Dropbox" and had to dig through old chat messages to find the actual submission links and instructions. At this point, I honestly feel unclear every step of the way. I spend more time trying to figure out logistics, apps, links, and expectations than actually focusing on learning. The frustrating part is that these seem like very simple organizational issues that could easily be improved with clearer communication and better onboarding for online students. I'm still early in the program, so I hope things improve over time, and I'm open to updating my review if my experience changes.
