Hey Everyone!!!! OMG - so today I had to re-exam to renew my CNA license. Which was a bummer, because I did not know how to obtain the correct CEU's. I was so nervous, because I haven't took this state exam in 2 years, and I did not know if it was going to be with others, a large size class or anything... just going in blind. I remember when I had took my exam 2 years ago for the first time, I was with my classmates. However, I got here very early. I was the first to arrive. Later, I was greeted and welcomed by a beautiful nice woman name Mrs. Drusilla. She opened up at Vasco Career College, and she then opened the for for me and told me to come inside to have a seat. I was so nervous you guys, and she was very nice it sort of soothed my demeanor. I then checked in with her to begin my written exam first, I explained to her how nervous I was and this was for my renewal. She literally turned to me and looked in my eyes, and stated, " you will be fine ". I honestly felt like this was a sign from god. I then took my exam, in a very quiet room, she went over everything for me in full detail. The rooms were spacious, clean and organized. After, it was time to take my skills exam. Again, y'all, very nervous and I sat in another room, (room C ), while another student finished their skills exams. Once, this student was close to finished, I was asked to be the patient for them. I was introduced to my Proctor, she was so sweet and pleasant. Her name was Mrs. Bella, she reminded me of a sweet family member you just hug when you see them. After, I helped the other student, it was my turn, my pulse was going a 1000x per sec. She told me to calm down, again, nice and pleasant. I finished and felt so good about my outcome with taking both my exams here just due to their personalities and how nice they were. This helped me in ways they will never know I needed, just them being kind. I have not received my results yet, or do not know if I passed, but I wanted to share with everyone a great place to come take you exams and also.... * As I was leaving, Mrs. Drusilla heard me state I was renewing my CNA license and she informed me on next time, what to do in order to receive my continuing education credits, to qualify for approval from California Department of Health. THEY HAVE A WEBSITE, www.cnabase.com ONLINE, and they offer the in person CEU's in person at their school. You guys I could have cried right there. Renewing my license was the hardest thing ever for me, and I felt like it should have not been. I asked everyone and no one could give me the correct information on where to go or how to obtain your continuing education credits. So, I want to share with everyone so they do not go through what I went through, the panic, stress, and anxiety on having to take the state exam over.... you can take these CEU's with them!!! DON'T WALK, RUN TO THEIR CAMPUS.. THEY OFFER SEVERAL OTHER CLASSES AS WELL, CHECK THEM OUT!!!! read more

Vasco Career College was a great experience for me! I graduated from the clinical medical assisting program in February of 2026. I took the evening class because that's the only way I was able to attend class while juggling with work and being a mom. My instructor Bianca was amazing! She guided me and encourage me to do my best especially when I was close to taking my NHA exam. Bianca provided all the resources that I needed when it comes to my assignments, labs, and my exam. After graduating from the program, I was assigned to a clinic for my externship and my instructor also have been keeping in touch with me while I was in my externship. I couldn't have done all of this if it wasn't for my instructor and Mrs. Dru who also went above and beyond, most especially she was so happy for me that I was able to complete my externship. I highly recommend enrolling in Vasco Career College for anyone who is starting out in the medical field. read more

I went through the Pharmacy Technician program at Vasco Career College and my experience was wonderful. The class sizes are small--I think mine topped out at 8 students--so everybody is actively involved in the exercises. The lab work was helpful and fun (we got competitive counting pills). One thing that surprised me initially was that new students don't wait for a new class to begin--they dive into wherever the course happens to be and run through everything until they're back where they started. I happened to join right at the end of the rotation, but this worked out fine. I was given all the tools necessary to successfully complete the program, and the subsequent externship prepared me to hit the ground running when I got my first pharm tech job. For the money paid, the course punched way over its weight. I owe Vasco Career College a debt of thanks, and am so glad I found them. read more

Vasco Career College was a great experience for me. I enrolled in the medical assisting program and graduated in 2021. The teachers were amazing and provided excellent training during the labs. I learned a lot, and during my externship, I felt well-prepared as nothing came as a surprise to me. I highly recommend this school to high school students who have recently graduated and are looking to pursue a career in the medical field. Vasco Career College is also very accommodating for all ages and even for mothers. Personally, I was able to complete my course successfully while taking care of my baby boy. read more

Vasco Career College - Vocational & Technical School Near Me - El Cerrito, California

On the CDPH website for online CEU's, they have Vasco Career College (CNABASE.COM) as one of their approved providers. I don't know about the school itself, but because CNA BASE is associated with them, it's been a terrible experience. Thankfully I only paid for 1 year of CEU's and I have only been able to complete 1 course and I've spent the past 4 days trying to log in and complete other CEU's, which I have not been successfully able to do so. I'm hoping to get a refund because I am not able to use the website. It's been a terrible experience the little time I've been able to use it! read more

BLS CPR course taught by Drusilla is excellent. Cost is lower than all the other agencies in the area.

Review for my CNA skill test taken 9/13: I was absolutely petrified, but everyone at Vasco was SO nice. Ms. Bella (I think that was her name?), my examiner, was so sweet, funny, and patient! I am so grateful to Vasco for opening up this testing site. All other sites I saw available were hundreds of miles away. What an absolute lifesaver and just in time for me to graduate my program. It looks like I passed, but had I not, I would definitely come back. Testers, just be aware that it is first come first serve. You have to arrive at 9 am no matter what, though Vasco takes 6 test takers at a time in 3 hour windows. Luckily, if you are not in the first cohort, you are allowed to leave the premises until it is your test time. I arrived at about 8:57 am, the second to last to arrive, so I ended up in the second cohort. I think there were supposed to be 12ish people, but some people disappeared and lunch happened. I think as maybe the 9th person to go, I tested at about 1:45 pm. This actually worked out really well for me because I wanted a lot of study time. Thank you so much Vasco, I would definitely come back, and good luck to all you future test takers! read more

I took a phlebotomy class here. I gotta say one of the best classes I have taken. The instructor Janelle was dedicated and very hands on with us, she didn't leave none of us behind. Drusilla and her daughter sorry I can't remember her name are very helpful and understanding. They want all their students to pass their state exams and have a successful externship. This school was amazing and I thank everyone for the support and opportunity. read more

As a teacher Ms. Drusilla is very well accomplished in her subject of study. She acquire quite a knowledge and experience as a Pharmacy Technician. I had learned a lot about her from her life stories that she shared with her students. I am so glad that she didn't forget her students after graduation ( like most of the teachers do ) and is still in touch with all of us. It helps if I have any question about my career goal or need any professional advice. I just want to thank you Ms. Dru for being there as a teacher and as a friend. read more
