I looked into HVAC before settling into the medical field. While i never attended a classroom for the trades i did experience some of the staff. Roger assisted me and was understanding when i decided to switch. HE made the transition easy and i personally felt that he meant everything he said when speaking about his love for the school. BUT WHAT NEEDS TO BE NOTED! The Medical side... If your looking to start your career, hope that you get this teacher! Mrs. K is an absolutely amazing medical assistant instructor who truly cares about her students' success. From the very first day, she creates a positive and engaging learning environment where everyone feels comfortable asking questions. During her lectures, she gives clear, real-world examples that make even the most complicated topics easy to understand and remember. What makes Mrs. K stand out is how she takes the time to teach in every learning style -- visual, hands-on, and verbal -- so that every student has the opportunity to truly grasp the material. Whether she's explaining a medical procedure, reviewing anatomy, or preparing us for exams, she makes sure no one is left behind. She's patient, understanding, and always willing to go the extra mile to make sure her students are confident in what they're learning. You can tell she genuinely loves what she does, and that passion shines through in every class. I'm so grateful to have had Mrs. K as my instructor -- she's the kind of teacher who makes a lasting impact both in and outside the classroom. read more

Attended ET blue print class and teacher would leave early when we still had other questions, cuss profoundly at the class for doing bad , and belittling the students aside from that wanting us to call him a nickname that involves the word daddy . That class was doing bad because of Mr.Roman refusing to teach us anything and when something was said he says and I quote " somebody snitched "to the whole class. Aside from that he retaliates by giving a surprise test we know nothing of. You can definitely expect to fail cause there's no help at all. If you wanna come and put yourself in debt for no reason at all THIS IS THE PLACE . Anyone looking to file a complaint or anything of the sort I've found this online if any solution happens I will update this post. Please be sure to post your reviews on google as well read more

The management of the curriculum is disorganised and erratic to say the least. There is a distinct lack of lecturers available for the HVAC course. They are very strong on the sales front with a promise that they're going to try and help to get your position once you get your diploma. This is not true they don't try very hard in the meantime you're a lot of money in the hole. Well the USA is supposed to have a distinct lack of HVAC technicians, it is almost impossible to break into the industry even once you have a diploma from a college. Buyer beware. read more

Horrible education system for a private school. I called to ask a simple question regarding their IV certification. First time I called, was told I would receive a call back. I never received a call, so I called the next day to follow up on my question, still could not get an answer. SJVC people are not trained correctly to answer simple questions. For the amount of money this school charges for their programs they should be able to call back and have answers. read more

Update: haven't heard a peep out of this poor excuse of a school. No one has called me for a job still. Graduated 6 months ago. Other than a really poorly crafted and generic Yelp apology, nothing. Still after all this time and money spent you'd think they'd attempt to make it right. Clear retaliation. Please, I beg you, do not go here. You can and will learn more on YouTube!!!!!!! read more

Was a student for the electrical trade, loved the teachers and my classmates. But this school is just straight unprofessional and teaches you nothing. Money hungry at its finest. Don't recommend at all. Shout out to Mr.williams, the only person who seemed to care. Everyone else was useless and unhelpful, taught me nothing. Now there trying to get me to sign a document stating they got me an "electrical job".... The job is solar panel cleaning. Big emphasis on 'CLEANING' read more

Be careful going to this school. I am currently attending the program and they tell you it's 4 days a week but it ends up being only 2 days a week. They hire basically anybody with experience or so called experience. I am in HVAC and we just had a teacher who snapped on students and was either drunk or high. We told the staff and staff said they protect the staff . Do major thinking before signing up read more

This School discriminates!! After you take out a loan for almost $40,000 for the first year which I think is ridiculous but since they do use ATI software and it's supposed to be an accelerated program, I thought it could pay off. From the first day of orientation, the students looked at me and rolled their eyes. I thought it was because of my beautiful braids, so I took them out so that I could blend in more, which was be impossible since I was only African-American in the whole entire school.although I scored 100% on my math calculation and dosage the first time. I was harassed ridiculed in the teacher of the cohort for who is now the dean had to have several talks about discrimination and harassment. She also brought in several higher-ups to give the speech, but no resolve to the constant harassment from the other students, but immediately after the payment dropped, from my loan I was lied on by the teachers who act more like students I was told I could not continue the program because I was talking about a clinical site while I was there which was a total lie after I was told not to come back. I tried to appeal to a withdrawal so that I would have a better chance with getting into another branch of the school that is closer to my house. Since I already had invested so much money and the curriculum was pretty easy I did not want to throw away six months of my time and money, but I was just simply told no and delete it from the cohort my advice to you if you are serious about graduating from an RN program stay far away from this place it is so toxic and it reminds you of the Home Depot that is directly next to it !! I should have paid attention to the warning size like they were literally only two black teachers there to make it look like they were a diverse school, but trust me it is nothing close to it. I've never been so disappointed and felt so deceived in my life. Now I'm stuck with trying to figure out. How can I pay back all this money from a program? I did not graduate from. read more

I was about to sign up with this school for RN instead of West Coast but Dam the very few comments I've read have convinced me enough to take my education elsewhere. Thank you everyone for posting your experiences this is a big investment and I hear you. SJVC you need to do better!! read more

If youre considering enrolling into this school (RANCHO MIRAGE CAMPUS) for the pharmacy tech program, save your money and time and go to College of the Desert in Palm Desert. COD pharmacy tech program is 2 MONTHS long vs this shithole of a school that is dragged out for 9 unnecessary months! The quality of education is terrible. Not to mention we lost our teacher mid program and they didn't have a replacement for 2 months. The staff is terrible and unhelpful. do yourself a favor and don't enroll. please! read more

This private FOR PROFIT "school" are after your money so be careful because even after FAFSA and loans Geneva the financial "advisor" assured me I'd only have a $7,667 remaining cost which was a lie since on paper it added to $16,596 remaining. Which is crazy for a 10 month CERTIFICATE program that's not even necessary for the electrician field. The staff are rude and unhelpful especially Geneva she has no patience or any motive to help students. Her and Roger have the demeanor of car salesman so desperate to meet their quota. Wouldn't recommend this school to anyone. If you want to go to an actual good college pursue a public college that's not after struggling students' money. read more

Great experience to have hands on experiences as a Pharmacy Technician student. We learned how to identify between brands and generic brands for medication. We learned how to calculate and measure medications for compounding it was an fun experiment. Overall it's an interesting experience as an pharmacy technician student learning about about medicine and everything that involves the pharmaceutical industry. We have an great instructor and that is Mrs. Karla Camacho she taught us everything we needed to know in pharmacy so we can be prepared to take our exam for our license as an Pharmacy Technician. Everyday in class we learned something new in our Pharmacy Technician program. As an Pharmacist Technician student I learned how to locate dispensed, pack, label, and label as prescribed medications for patient then, that would be reviewed by the Pharmacist for accuracy before dispensing them to the patient. Anyone who enjmedicine and mathematics then Pharmacy Technician program would be a great option for you. read more

GENEVA is never available to students. She doesn't answer her phone calls. I have to continue leave her messages. She's rude as if she's got something better to do. When it comes to students using the G.I. Bill she could care less about what we need. Why does she have a job? To all the military personnel that thought this was a good school I urge you to reconsider. The continued reviews about GENEVA BAZUA should speak for themselves. read more

Great and amazing school. This is my second course and I'm enjoying all the new stuff I'm learning. I completed the HVAC and now I'm two months in the Electrical Technology course. I would highly recommend the both of them. They will definitely prepare you for the workforce. read more

I am in my last couple weeks until my externship starts and I'm very excited! I believe thanks to Ms. Fida'a's (MOA Teacher) and Ms. Kara's (MA Teacher) leadership and teachings I am more than prepared to start my career as a Medical Office Administrator. Not only are the teachers such a great source of information and inspiration but so are other faculty members such as Rogelio. He has been such a great role model since he himself was once where I was. So a Big Thank You to you all! read more

This school is not very helpful I started the lvn program and unfortunately found myself falling behind with my schoolwork. Part of the curriculum is online class where you never even see a teacher that's ok I just had an issue where I asked for tutoring immediately after my start because I had different computer issues uploading my work . They refused . The next thing that happened was corporate came and kicked the instructor s out and asked for issues the class pointed at me because they knew I wanted a tutor and wasn't getting one . What do you know surprise the next day they offered me a tutor. They assigned me more assignments even though I was already behind I misunderstood and thought I had a few days to complete not the next day . When my assignment wasn't completed the tutor cut the meeting and that was it for me . Shortly thereafter I was told I had to drop because my grades were to low . I'm still without a job and now they are harassing me to pay tuition really ???? I hope other people have a better time then I did I feel they discriminated against me from the start and their tutoring policy sucks as well . Good luck if you decide to go there. read more

So I signed up for the nursing program. The admissions person calls me and say since I'm not in the medical field already and haven't done the pre-reqs they require that I should figure out something else I want to do. And this is the admissions person? I was never given any information on the pre-reqs. If you want people to attend your school how about you give me the information I need to follow my dream and not just give up on it because I'm not...a nurse already??? TERRIBLE. I'll go somewhere professional instead. read more

As a Parent, I would say that the way my son and I got treated during the Financial Counselor was very unprofessional towards the end. Geneva had no patience for our questions which we had several like normal parent and my son who was the student who was going to attend this school. She was worried about clocking out and leaving the premises then with helping us on finishing our questions unanswered. She was rude and obviously was irritated by Me the Parent and my son the Student. They need to hire Professional Individuals who have the patent to answer any questions provide to them by the parents or students. Specially in the position she is in she needs to be able to try and HELP AS MUCH AS SHE COULD. This school I wouldn't recommend to anyone who was to start a career l. The Front Desk has way more PROFESSIONAL AMD GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE then the actual FINANCIAL STAFF. After my son went to back to the school the next day to cancel after we got rudely treated and thrown out cause it was cut off time 7pm they still gave him attitude and we're pissed off at him for canceling everything RUDE STAFF GENEVA and ROGER. read more

THIS ONE GOES OUT TO MR. KIMBLER HVAC program and His minions. Hope this reaches the rite persons .Although I believe the schools intentions are to give students a great education. I don't believe the staff ( dean Mrs Rieko or Mrs Kimbler intentions are pour hearted, after multiple complaints on various topics, including INSTRUCTOR MISS CONDUCT all I was told from Mrs RIEKO is that she could not fire him. He discriminated against me then had straight male students try to intimidate me by standing behind me and mad dog me. I complained to Mrs Rieko and all she said was I can't control other students behavior. SJVC failed to provide me with a fair and safe ,intimidation free schoo and learning environment. SHE just wanted me to quit and slowly push me out of the school as if I was the last turd of the day! -BEWARE- If you are gay or bisexual this school is not for you . Please reconsider attending schooling here.(RANCHO MIRAGE LOCATION-) They are the worst of the worst Mrs Rieko offered me to have solo instruction time with a new instructor however why should I be punished and isolated when the others were the intimidators. For every complaint I made she would protected MR. KImbler with what he would say O SHE had a meeting on that and then laugh about it. As if to say not a big deal for every complaint you make she will just have a meeting and I can continue the miss treatment. By MRS Rieko doing this and not holding him to a HIGH Standard as a instructor should is total negligence on MRS Riekos part and she is totally just as guilty as MR.KImbler .Unfair and totally discriminated against. I am in the process of contacting local LGBT leaders to help bring awareness to this matter. Stay toned! read more
