I originally wrote my review earlier in the program, and things have since taken a negative turn…read more The owners became very strict with my cohort and displayed discriminatory behavior towards the rest of the class, who were Mexican, while I was the only white person. It was evident through body language and the instructors' tone that they had issues with everyone. Three students struggled to understand the material, and I ended up helping them on my own time, which shows they were afraid to ask for help. The class faced constant reprimands about punctuality, despite the clinic having poor parking, requiring us to park far away. Jacklyn, the owner's wife, often argued with her husband, Joe, during clinical sessions, making the environment toxic and frustrating. It was clear our cohort, although only eight people, was not liked. For instance, we didn't receive any congratulations or farewell party, unlike other cohorts. I'm not saying we need one to feel validated but why are you going to tell us that's what other classes have gotten and post pictures if you're not going to do it for everyone?!
While the education provided is decent, they charge excessively for every little thing. I would have preferred a place that wasn't focused solely on profit, cared about students, and supported their success.
Recently, I reached out about renewing my AHA BLS card, which I had when I started since I was already in the medical field. The owners had told me I could get a replacement when it expired in 2025, as it was included in my tuition. However, despite multiple calls and emails, I received no response. It's not surprising, but disappointing that this is still their way of dealing with students. Credit should be given when due, and it's unfortunate they don't treat you well, even when you bring them business. My advice is to save your money and look elsewhere, especially if you have a skin tone darker than white.
