*For the VA program*…read more The class size was good. Not too many students, but just enough for group work and exercises. I think a big problem though would be having a small computer lab shared between the multiple programs. It was too small of a room and you could never tell what program was using the room until you actually stepped inside. As for the staff, they were helpful in guiding me through externship. I would've definitely missed a due date or forget to fill out a form without their help.

I'm writing this to make it clear the negative reviews about this program are not lies. I…read moreexperienced the same issues. During COVID-19 I was in the, veterinary assistant program, I was told there would still be hands-on lab training, just modified. That did not happen. Lab exposure was extremely limited, and the instruction was inconsistent. The second instructor was frequently late, absent, and unprepared. I documented in my graduate survey that she was inadequate for lab instruction which is a serious issue for a hands-on program and no one ever followed up. Most of the "teaching" consisted of reading directly from a textbook, with little to no practical application. It felt like self-teaching rather than an actual program. Cost vs. Value Total cost: $17,506 Out-of-pocket: about $6,130 I was charged $515 for e-books that barely worked and had to go back to campus for physical books. The laptop provided also did not function properly during class. For that price, the education should reflect, it did not. Reality Check I'm currently continuing my education toward my RVT license through a program that costs around $8,000 and is far more structured. This program does not even lead to a license, yet costs more than double. Externship By the time I reached externship, I was not prepared at all. My first site wouldn't even let me participate, and I lost a month. I had to transfer. I didn't actually learn basic skills until my second externship which should have been taught in the program. Concerns I raised multiple concerns directly with Lourdes Valencia over the phone and was told, "you signed up for this." During one call, she forgot to hang up, and I overheard her and another staff member speaking negatively about me. This was extremely unprofessional and discouraging, especially after I had just expressed my concerns. I documented this experience in my graduate survey, yet there was no follow-up. It is very concerning that such feedback was submitted and seemingly ignored. Now that I'm continuing my education, it's clear how inadequate the training was, and it raises serious concerns about whether students are being taken advantage of. Pattern Matters Yes, some reviews are positive, but many negative reviews share the same exact issues. Students (including myself) have documentation of what we paid. At some point, when multiple people are saying the same thing including former staff it cannot just be dismissed. Final Thought My 4.0 GPA was from my own effort, not the program. I did not sign up for an inadequate education. I signed up for what was promised during admissions, and that is not what I received. I am currently in communication with the school and hoping for resolution. Until then: Do not spend your money here if you expect real training and support.

I am currently a student in the CNA program at AECareer Institute in Los Angeles, and I feel…read morecompelled to share my honest experience especially for others considering this school. The primary instructor, Helen has repeatedly shared inaccurate and unprofessional information, particularly about COVID-19 patient care, etc. In one class, she told students that CNAs shouldn't work with COVID patients because "it's not worth risking your life for extra money," and claimed she was offered extra pay during the pandemic but refused to show up to work. She also suggested that those who did work "risked their lives unnecessarily." This type of message is highly discouraging and completely inappropriate for future healthcare professionals. In addition, Helen struggles with basic teaching fundamentals: * Mispronounces and misuses medical terminology * Gives unclear explanations of anatomy and physiology * Fails to answer questions, especially from online students, who are often ignored or dismissed. The online platform is not interactive, and lectures are rushed, making it hard to absorb essential material. It feels like the school is more focused on enrolling and graduating students quickly for revenue, not on delivering proper education. I've documented my experience and have recordings of class sessions where these statements were made. I've submitted a formal complaint to the California Department of Public Health for investigation. If you're looking for a serious, high-quality CNA program, I would not recommend AECareer Institute.

If you are considering signing your child up for SBD run the other way. I was very optimistic about…read morethis organization. My daughter had begged me to do cheer and I knew someone whose daughter went through SBD and had a positive experience. While there are many things I wasn't happy with, the worst part is how negative and verbally abusive the coaches are to the kids. One mom signed her daughter up to work on her self esteem and her coach told her she was being moved to the back because she wasn't good. Another time, my daughter's coach told them that they did a bad job and everyone in the audience will throw tomatoes at them. My daughter was 5 and didn't want to perform because she thought we were going to throw tomatoes at her. She would cry before every practice. I thought the coaches were just tough and it was hard so I encouraged her to keep going, but eventually through a lot of tears she told me all the mean things her coach would say and that is when we didn't continue. We did do a competition and while the girls had been going for 6 months, they didn't learn their routine until 2 weeks before the competition. It was hard to watch and very irritating. Here we were, coming twice a week totally committed while the coach for their team changed 3 different times and nobody seemed to give our team much time or respect. The coaches for the younger teams are kids themselves. They just don't have all the tools to be able to guide and mold 5-7 year olds and I wouldn't expect them to. Management has it set up this way and never watch a practice or monitor what is happening. They say that they're around and trust these girls, but it's a cop out. I never saw a seasoned older coach just stand a one watch a practice. I did complain about all this and more and was given a very kind and genuine response from one of the head coaches. The issue is that while this coach was nice, the culture of SBD is toxic and broken. After we left, I learned that 3 other families left for the same reason. It's sad because these girls really wanted to do cheer and now want nothing to do with it. Please save yourself the headache and pass on this incredibly unprofessional organization. I sincerely hope they're able to look at themselves and make some major changes.

I took the Beginning Excel/Microsoft class and did NOT complete the course…read more I was extremely disappointed in the class structure and most of the students did NOT even know what a desktop was, know how to maneuver the mouse and worst did NOT know how to log in to their computer after weeks. They still needed assistance. This created a minimum of 20 minutes of the teacher trying to assist all these students who were lost. I felt like she relied on other students to help those students who needed help which isn't fair. They should have a prerequisite to this class MUST know basic microsoft, how to use a mouse, how to save/ download documents into a folder, etc. I decided to stop going to the class since the teacher had to focus on these others students and then when everyone was finally on the same page. She would literally rush through the chapter since of course our class was behind. I'm giving it 3 stars since this isn't the teacher's fault or the students. The school needs to do a better job in making some of these courses to having a prerequisite pertaining to that course.
