This review is for the EKG Technician Continuing Education course, Fall 2025, Concord Campus…read more The EKG Technician course is supposed to be an 11.5-week, 60-hour in-person program with instruction and hands-on lab experience, but the reality has been far from what was advertised, and instead a huge disappointment and waste of time. The start of class was delayed a week with no reason and no proactive communication about logistics - I had to reach out the first day of instruction just to find out which classroom to go to and who the instructor would be. Since then, multiple class sessions were canceled or ended early, and we had only about five hours of actual classroom time instead of the nearly 28 hours we should have had by the end of week 4 (minus four canceled classes). The content itself was very disappointing - mostly reading slides (which were a recap of the textbook) and watching YouTube videos with very limited access to equipment or lab practice (which seemed to be an administrative issue). There was no effort to make up missed time, and it's hard to see how students would reach the advertised 60 hours of instruction, let alone pass the course or pass state certification. The instructor appeared to have good intentions, but it seems this last-minute staffing decision left everyone unprepared, including the instructor themself. Attempts to contact Continuing Education for help went unanswered, which is incredibly frustrating for those of us who paid full fees (over $1,600) and commute long distances to attend. To make matters worse, the Concord campus at that time had poor (no) lighting on the walkway from the parking lot, which is definitely a safety concern for evening classes. Overall, this experience has been unprofessional and discouraging. CSU East Bay Continuing Education really needs to address the lack of communication, instructional quality, equipment availability, and basic campus safety before continuing to offer it. BTW, check your local community college instead if similar courses are offered, it will be A LOT cheaper ($46/unit for Cali residents)!

I came by here to get some books for school because it would save me a trip to the Hayward campus…read more Unfortunately, this place is out in the weeds too. It's next to a state park or in the middle of it. So, I came here because I thought it was closer. When I was in grad school before, there was a campus in Walnut Creek. It was in the middle of downtown and was quite easily accessible. But this place isn't. And if there is traffic (and there was) look out! I am glad that I don't have to come here regularly because I'd have to get out of work a good two hours before class to get there on time and then drive all of the way home after class. They aren't open on Friday or Saturdays. But I was able to pick up my books. I was going to look for some school swag but they didn't really have any. In the future, I will have my books sent to me to avoid having to come all of the way out here to pick up two books.

Los Medanos has an EMS program which has garnered a reputation in the Bay Area over the years. My…read moreconcern is whether its instructors are adequately protecting their students from predatory companies and situations within the workplace which they might encounter in the EMS field. Are you making students aware of the long history which some companies in the prehospital care business have of failing to pay their workers, harassment, insurance fraud, elderly abuse, kickbacks, skipped lunch breaks, etc...? Are you teaching students how they might deal with these situations safely? Are you providing your students with the proper resources and assurance that there are legal avenues, whistleblower rights, and other forms of defense against abusive management and coworkers? Are you showing your students how to approach these resources, file various formal complaints, and to garner critical evidence against them? Please feel free to email me with questions, concerns, or developments in the curriculum. Thank you for your time and consideration. #ProtectEMTs #ProtectOurStudents #ProtectAmericanFamilies

A truly horrible "school". They run on adjunct power and give their adjunct teachers no rights, no…read morejob security, no incentive to remain there. The full-time professors are not experts in their fields; they are people who could not get jobs at decent colleges. The course offerings are poor, there is no campus life, and it's in the terrible, very low class dystopia called Pittsburg. A degree from here is worthless. It's a total joke of a so called learning institution and a degree from here is laughable at best.

My granddaughter transferred to this medical high school recently and she loved it!…read more She is very happy with the curriculum, teachers, and campus. She also enjoys the relaxed atmosphere. I recommend this school for students Interested in the medical professions.

teachers and administrators do not care about your health. ironically, this is a medical high…read moreschool. they do not want to hear anything the students say, they not only silence us but as well as play "victim" or act as if they have the highest power in the world. there is always someone above you and they seem to forget that, they have bosses even if they are a principal. the vice principal cares more about your uniform than your health. i asked "what is more important, health or uniform?" "uniform" she replies back ,verbatim. I do not recommend this school. if you want to feel like a prisoner, or a person without value by all means attend here, but this is the worst school i have ever been to in my entire life i have moved schools every year since 3rd grade and i have never felt so unimportant and invalid in my life. The sophomore history teacher , Rita Landski, is very closed minded. she may say she's open to new ideas to help her grow as a teacher, but once you give your ideas she plays victim and makes it seem as if you're a bully and goes on a power trip. The 10th grade health teacher ,Heather Pool, she is good teacher but will give attitude out of nowhere. she can be a bit unprofessional at times. she grades very slow but can build a bond with students i will say she picks and chooses. Mr wilkins and Mrs crossland do not care about the students. please save yourself or your child and do not attend here.

Yes the cafeterias were segregated for safety reasons for the longest since the 90's. West Cafeteria always had predominantly ghetto crowd & the East was normal. It was always like that since the school was created in the 90's. Overall times have changed the school looks like a mini LA high school, they need to implement a 2.5 or higher gpa for this school cause there way too many juveniles.
