I've been thinking a lot about if I should write a review on this school or not. After thinking…read moreabout it, I feel the upcoming students have the right to know my experience was in the Medical Assisting Program in 2022 starting from February through November. I was a student coming from out of state wanting to enroll into an amazing school. Everyone was very kind and considerate and pushed for excellence for the students. I then started to notice that students through the school were acting like "high school college students". Teachers were late to class, having staff meetings an hour into class (but heard them laughing), missing so many lab materials we needed, dress code wasn't being held to standards. I had teachers in tank tops dresses and flip flops which is totally unprofessional in the medical field. I was thinking how you can hold us to a standard if you cannot show yourself. When we got the learning about vital signs and materials, we spent 1-2 days on vitals and never again which isn't enough for time for us to master. The lab didn't have some materials to have a layout for a tray set-up in a medical setting and lancets for checking blood sugars. I was getting very frustrated, but I didn't want to waste my money I spent, so I changed from night classes to morning, hoping that things would change. Prior to that change, a student got upset because there was a miscommunication in some words exchanged and she pulled me outside of the building and started intimidating me and raising her voice. The teachers and staff members did nothing to have me feel safe when that situation happened and the entire class ganged up on me, forcing me to switch to day classes. During the day classes, the school placed a teacher into a classroom where she didn't have the best knowledge for that subject (not her fault) and expected her to teach us when she didnt know how which was also frustrating. A few weeks later, I noticed the smell of marijuana in the building and in back parking lot. When I parked my car one day, I looked over my door and noticed by accident a HUGE bag of marijuana inside an SUV with a lot of cash. I told the school that I had seen a student from another program selling marijuana outside of building and inside by break area. Again, nothing was done, and the student continued. The staff smoke with the students and seems like the professionalism there is lacking alot. Also, I came at night one night and I saw a male student having a barber shop in one of the medical classrooms and I was mortified because this is a medical classroom, and why aren't teachers reprimanding these students for code of conduct. I did appreciate some staff there but lastly around September at least 8 staff members resigned, quit, or disappeared. I asked several times what's going on, and the school said, different opportunities. I truly didn't believe them, because I knew something was happening, we didn't know about and that's why a domino effect of people left. Also, some staff I was close to told me they choose to leave because of the school issues. Overall, I personally think this college is a joke which allows students to do whatever they want. I felt like I was back in high school again with so much drama. My anxiety was always high, leaving classes or not coming, and crying due to being picked on from students. I ended up paying for the entire program which I didn't finish because of the stress of the school, and personal reasons. Now I'm back in my home state in west coast in which I'm having to retake the medical assistant program all over again with a legitimist school. I've been at my new school for 2 months now (paying for it again), and I've learned more in those short months than the entire program at Centura College. My suggestion is to not attend this school and look into a college that takes things seriously and holds you accountable for your actions and learning. Again, I dislike writing bad reviews, but students need to know what's really going on instead of what there being told by the school. If the school sees this, I hope you can make changes for the best.

I've so far I've enjoyed every moment at Centura College and my enrollment process has been nothing…read morebut greatness and Revenne has been a big help. Great staff and very clean.
