Mr. G ensures that you learn exactly what your proctors will be looking for, and is always willing to clarify if you have questions. Something you may want to know is that the clinical site is in Saratoga, so be aware you may need to be able to drive a farther distance than you initally expect. Mr. G also gives you as much time as you need to practice your skills! I was able to come after or between his other classes to practice before taking my exam, which was really helpful. He also has videos online, in case you're confused about any of the skills. Overall, I really enjoyed my time at Golden Heart. Good luck everyone! Thank you, Mr. G!

Ms. Didi was the instructor for this program and she truly cares about her students. The program was 21 days and may seem long initially, but it flies by quickly. I met some wonderful classmates along the way and had an overall fantastic experience! Ms. Didi, Mr. Dell, and Dr. Marilyn are knowledgeable, passionate, and truly dedicated to student success. The program offers a great mix of theoretical knowledge and hands-on practice, with small class sizes that allow for personalized instruction. The clinical rotations provided invaluable real-world experience, and the staff was supportive every step of the way. I highly recommend this program to anyone serious about becoming a CNA or looking to gain experience prior to nursing/medical school. It's a rewarding experience that prepares you for the healthcare field. Thank you again, Ms. Didi for a wonderful learning experience!

She genuinely wanted every student to succeed. Each lecture, she shared insight from her professional experience, gave plenty of examples of how different scenarios would look in practice, and always welcomed discussions when something wasn't clear. During clinicals, she provided so much guidance and support, followed by thoughtful debriefs at the end of each day. She took the time to connect what we learned in theory to the real patients we worked with, which made everything make so much more sense. Miss Didi prepared me incredibly well for the state exam. I felt confident enough to take the written exam the day after graduating and the skills exam three days later, passing both with flying colors. Additionally, Mr. Dell and Dr. Marilyn were extremely supportive and checked in often to make sure we had what we needed throughout the program. I wanted to add that while MCC does not guarantee placement to a facility with their program, it is important to note that there are A LOT of opportunities for networking that Miss Didi and MCC offers. For my class, Miss Didi had several administrators and DSD's speak with us about their facilities, offering insight, applications, and contact information should you decide to apply. I just interviewed for my top choice facility and have been offered employment contingent on passed reference checks, background check and fingerprinting. I graduated from my program 8 days ago. You get what you put into the program, and being open to communication and learning will lead you to the start of a rewarding career. Overall, MCC made the whole experience feel worth it, and I feel truly set up for success moving forward.

I was never sent a BLS Precourse, but I was sent a paid receipt for both courses. I called the Wednesday prior during business hours and did not get an answer. I arrived an hour prior to start of the combo class for the front desk clerk attendant(who opened the office up) to tell me I was only signed up for ACLS AND NOT BLS. I asked her to call Grace who is supposed to be the office mgr. The clerk said, "I'm not calling her on the weekend with a frown on her face". I sat waiting for an hour and 10 minutes after ACLS class started for nothing to be done. I had to ask am I supposed to be in class for the attendant to say, " I was just going to call you up". I was told to go into the ACLS CLASS while they try to sort things out. On my first break I followed the error project heart beat made up, and the same clerk said I can offer you a refund. I told her I wanted the combo class. Money is not the issue. Project Heart Beat made the error. I've sent the office manager 2 emails while sitting here offering to complete the online portion on these breaks we are give during ACLS with no response. Another student in the class did not complete either ACLS OR BLS pre test. They still allowed her to go through the in person didactic and then complete both ACLS AND BLS TEST AFTER. Project Heart Beat has to do better and hire a front desk clerk that is friendlier and customer service oriented and not trying to hide errors. She would probably do better cleaning the building than having to interact with customers. Also, they have to be consistent on precourse requirements. It took a second clerk to tell me what the real issue was after waiting an hour being told I was only signed up for ACLS WHEN I HAD RECIEPTS FOR BOTH ACLS AND BLS. I was never sent the precourse for BLS. If you register for classes here, call and confirm until you get someone to confirm that they have sent all emails and you have the precourse. In the meantime, hopefully the first desk clerk to arrive is a bit more customer friendly and focused.

Well Now That I Have Completed The Program I Can Give A Review…read more The School (Building) is very nice its located on the ground floor so no need to wait for an elevator. That came in handy especially when i was late. I didnt particularly care for parking but i was in the Evening CNA Class and that was eaiser than if i was in the day class. Loads of food places around for lunch or dinner. The instructor/instruction was very goodm in depth. The instructor(Mrs. Gigi) she teaches you to think critically even if you are a very literal person like i am. She gets you to understand why things are done and how it is in the best interest of the residents and your self. Shes very hands on. I loved the clincal fac we went to all the staff who i came in contact with were helpful and encouraging. All of the instructors areas well. Its feels more like a big learning family than a school. Dont get me wrong there are rules as, like with all schools but they like to have fun and see thier students enjoy learning. So loads of celebration.(i was here oct,nov,dec,jan,feb. Could have just been the holidays) I loved how each class rather it was CNA, LVN, Dialysis, Ect. Had thier own labs. So we had our own environment to learn in. To setup in the way we needed to. At My ARC Test I felt very prepared to pass which i did on my first time. That was great because i was very nervous during testing. But it helped that my instructor and the school went above and beyond to ensure we all were understanding the work. Many Study Groups And Late Classes. Anywho.

The class definitely prepared me for the NREMT, which I passed first try thanks to these instructors. The best advice I could give to pass is be energetic, be willing to learn every day you go in, and give your full effort the entire course.

The testing setup was organized and comfortable. I originally thought I would be in a room full of people, but it was just me, the evaluator, and my partner, which made me feel much more at ease. The evaluator was very professional and even allowed me to correct mistakes, which helped lower my stress. Everything went by fast and smoothly. After finishing, the staff even shared information about their home health classes, which was a nice touch. I felt very welcomed the entire time. I would definitely recommend this testing center.

Compared to Gurnicke and Unitek, they are thousands cheaper and get you to the same place. Despite the program being held during covid when many places were not accepting students, we were able to get clinical and preceptorship placements. I learned a lot from the awesome instructors and most importantly, the program director Ms. Stacey. She is amazing! She is very responsive, open, and communicative. She truly cares for every student. Ultimately, no matter what nursing program you choose, it will come down to you. I still had to use outside resources at times to supplement my learning. I think this is common in any program and does not reflect poorly on the school. Your instructors will vary in how they teach or "nurse", but overall I had a fair experience. You may qualify to retake certain exams, retake terms, or reach out to Ms. Stacey if there was issues and she would commit to finding a fair, working solution. I learned a lot and am happy to be a LVN. It was well-worth the ~15 months of sacrifice as I learned so much and developed great mentors and relationships. If you're scanning this page thinking about becoming a LVN... I say go for it with Quest!

Hi everyone, please avoid this place at all costs. It's a run down place that's for sure just a…read moremoney grab. Besides the place being very dirty, it is cramped as well. Their grading system is extremely difficult, they are not forgiving at all. I know we have to be professional in this field and having a rigorous test is part of the experience, but the TO's who facilitated my test failed to acknowledge that I actually did do 2 steps. I was failed twice and then I immediately passed somewhere else. You're required to get every step correct, you can't miss a single step. They don't offer videos or refresher courses and we all know that the cna skills exam is very different from real life and the steps and requirements change often. My 2nd try, I got 100%, 98% and 95%, missing 1 step out the last 2, which I actually did perform and they still failed me. There is a REASON THIS PLACE is not accredited. I believe they are preying on immigrants or people in poverty, failing them for steps that are extremely hard to prove that we actually did, to obtain more money, knowing that these groups of people are desperate for work. Each skills exam is about $130. Many students in or around Oakland have complained about this same occurrence at this facility. Please, be aware! I had the same skill 2 times and each time they instructed me to perform it differently. One time, they instructed me to only use the sink in the main room (which is as tiny as a closet) and the 2nd time they instructed me to use the bathroom down the hall, for the same skill, within 1 week of each other. So the consistency is off too. The facilitator, Praise is rude and the other facilitator was on her phone, not even paying attention. No professionalism even though they require you to be professional. THE SCAM; If you don't show up 20 minutes early, they make you reschedule and pay again. They put it in really fine print as well. I saw someone show up, and I am not kidding, 18 minutes early. She actually might have been on time, but the woman who checks the ID's didn't come check hers until 18 minutes, and told her she had to reschedule and pay again even though the place was empty and it was just her and I in the building. They are strict with some things but because their facility is just not equipped for testing and their small room is as big as a closet, instead of a chair, they only have the wheelchair available. So when feeding a resident, you have to sit on the wheelchair, although I'm sure they would flunk you for that too. Some businesses do open with malicious intent and CNA testing sites can be an overlooked way for the business's to make money, especially when they flunk people. If you can - try testing through Credentia! And do not go there! Good luck everyone :)
