Hello Everyone,…read more My name is Miguel and I am currently a student at NBCC located @ 400 Ramona Ave. #213, they are in the 2 story building next to Hunny's and across Bakers Doughnuts. The reason for my review is because this is a new school, and WOW! They strive to get you to pass their tests, they motivate you, the new instructor is so amazing, and the school directors go out of their way to provide you snacks, refreshments, and they are very loving people, this is my 2nd week at this career college. The instructor is Ms. Dee, she motivates us and provides us with so much knowledge of becoming a cna, preparing us for the state exam, during theory she strives to make us successful and she teaches above and beyond, she is very kind and I am very fortunate to be in this school. We have a lunchroom and their are free snacks, water, coffee, doughnuts, etc.. for us to have during our break. This class is so cool and I am very confident that I will easily pass the state exam! They do guarantee you a job at a local nursing home and if you sign a contract to work for the nursing facility that you attend for clinicals, they have promised to reimburse you 1000-1500$ + all other benefits + your salary. I will be graduating from this program in December, New Beginnings is accredited by the State Board of Equalization and BBB, NNAAP. Oral Examination & Skills Evaluation.

My previous review and this final one, are just how impressed and happy I am, I now get CNA salary and I work double shifts and I already made back what I spent on tuition and my job reimbursed me 1000$ I reccomend this school to anyone whom is willing to make a difference in their life. Thank You NBCC!

I have visited the school and it was great to be a 4 week course but they are the most expensive…read moreschool I have encounter for a CNA program with no financial aid. Only a Finance plan where you pay a high monthly amount a month til paid off. There are programs that are much cheaper and also give quality education as a CNA. When I was not working I could not afford the course even though it would have been great to get through it and finish. I was a CNA before so the course is not new to me but to pay that much out of pocket is alittle too much.

My husband and I learned so much in Hypnobabies with Angela. My husband loved it as well. Angela makes the class what it is though. As for Angela, my Doula, wow. We did so much work together in my monthly chats with her. It was like my own therapy session that I didn't know I needed. I did so much healing in the months I worked with her. She prepared my husband and I for birth so well. She has so much to offer! She doesn't leave anything unchecked. She will be your best advocate! She had a big hand in helping redeem all of my past birth experiences. I'll forever be grateful for Angela!

She…read moreprovided tough love in moments when we needed it but also showered us with love and compassion in difficult moments through our birthing journey. She supported me to overcome my fears about giving birth and trusting the medical staff. She provided a lot of information and resources. Although we had a c-section and Angela was not allowed to be physically in the OR, she prepared us well enough to go in with confidence that all would go well. I gave birth to a healthy baby boy this past January. It was a beautiful experience. If you cannot afford her doula services, I highly recommend her hypno birthing class. It prepared my fiance and I on the birthing process. Classes were via zoom which was great for us since we got to learn from the comfort of our home. I am grateful for this beautiful soul. She truly is living her life's purpose. Thank you Angela. If you are looking for a doula, she is it!

I usually attend courses in Orange, it's closer to home, and although I feel that most of the SureFire instructors have been awesome, I felt like I retained and learned more during this particular class! Thank you again Karen & I'm appreciative of the wonderful learning environment provided by SureFire.. Note: a pro over Orange office location is the proximity of the parking -- and the proximity of the bathroom although it's single "stall" :)

I was getting worried our little girl was getting too big, but Jeanne worked her magic. She is so gentle with the little ones, is incredibly sweet, and knows how to make the perfect pose.

She responded to me very quick, which I am super glad for because my baby was getting too old and I really wanted the "sleepy newborn" pictures. I really didn't think I would find someone this great that I could afford and at such of a short time frame . I found her on Groupon and her work is honestly priceless. The whole experience was very special to me because I was just finishing nursing school and took my final the week before and she was so helpful and gave me these simple instructions to make sure my baby would cooperate by staying asleep for the session. I'm sad I didn't find her sooner for some pictures at the hospital. I cannot recommend her enough! Thank you again Jeanne!

Dennis is fantastic! I've had the best time learning woodworking from him. His shop has been a…read morelovely place to get comfortable with woodworking and gain foundational knowledge, like learning how to calculate / measure correctly, how to use the tools, choosing appropriate woods, etc. I've appreciated that he puts a lot of emphasis on safety and proper technique when using the machinery. I end up feeling more confident with using the tools, with knowing how to avoid accidents. Dennis makes the class environment a comfortable and nice place to hang out. There's creative energy all about. I look forward to going each week and seeing what projects the other students are up to or chatting with him. He's not only a great instructor but also so easy and friendly to talk to! Dennis' enthusiasm for woodworking and old tools will quickly rub off on you. It's a great balance between a structured class curriculum and freedom to customize your projects. I've since discovered that going to the lumber yard and choosing woods feels a little like being a kid in a candy store. It's so much fun to do something hands on and design / build your own furniture. I highly recommend the Wood Work Shop to anyone looking up to pick up woodworking.

If you want to learn woodworking, this is a great place to do it. The shop has pretty much every…read moretool you need and an instructor who's passionate about the craft. During my time here, Dennis showed me how to make a cutting board, a box, a mallet, and a bowel. He also took the time to answer questions I had about woodworking, beyond the specific project I'd be working on. Because people's schedules are always different, many people in the class are working on things that are different from you or are on a different stage. To be successful in the class it's good to always have a plan about what you're going to be doing for the day BEFORE you come to class. The reason I say before is because if you have a busy class, it can be challenging to get the instructor's attention without interrupting someone else. That being said, Dennis absolutely tries his best to give everyone a good amount of time with him and is very approachable. He will go above and beyond to help make sure you know what you should be doing and how to do it. Some days are busier than others so work with Dennis to see which day to come in is right for you (Wednesdays seem to be pretty empty at the time of posting this)

While I was on the phone with him, I received the link to make the appointment. He also explained where to park (there was a parking structure with plenty of spaces).

The only bummer was having to drive to LA but I was told they do schedule appointments in San Diego about every 4-6 weeks. I just wasn't willing to wait.

My kids will probably stay here throughout High School. With armed security who is always around, it feels safe. My only issue is the inconsiderate parents. You know who you are. 1. Do Not Enter signs mean exactly that. 2. Cones are posted on the parking spots for a reason. 3. Stop blocking the sidewalk. You can call each other instead of pretending to be friends who haven't seen each other in years. 4. Its chaotic picking up kids, get your kid and go. Yes we know you are special, you have to have a discussion with the teacher. Make an appointment. 5. Slow down in the dirt lot. I honestly don't care that we are in a Christian School, you're gonna get cussed out. 6. Learn how to navigate a 4 way stop. End of rant. Go warriors.
