I recently completed the weekend CNA program at Diamond School of Nursing. I enjoyed the experience…read moreand am looking forward to taking my CNA certification exam in a month or so. Through the program, I learned a lot about the responsibilities of a CNA and what a typical clinical setting is like. Also, the school provides many learning tools to prepare for the CNA exam, such as flashcards and practice quizzes which are very helpful!!

The only thing about this current location is that, parking may be limited if you don't arrive a little early. Many of parking spaces are marked and reserved for the neighboring businesses. Instructors are knowledgeable and nice. They make it easy for you to get through. This time, instead of in person class, I took an online course and in person skills check off. It was easier than driving into class, but still had to go into class for check offs. This place has clean restrooms, snack station with coffee and tea available. Got my electronic cards within hours.

Extremely LONG but way overdue review. Let me start with…read morethis: if you are a Black woman or any student who expects to be treated with basic respect, stay far away from CAL ACE. This school is a disgrace and should be shut down. The five-star reviews you see? Many of them are pressured out of students while they're still in class, face to face with staff. I personally witnessed this. Several of my classmates told me privately that they had negative experiences too--but were too scared to speak out publicly because of retaliation or fear they wouldn't pass. This review isn't just mine--it reflects what many of us went through and whispered about behind closed doors. I attended in July/August 2024, and from the moment I walked in, I had doubts. The school is inside a shopping plaza with a fish market, and the environment is beyond unsanitary. Bathrooms were filthy--cockroaches, dried feces on the floor and toilet, overflowing trash DAILY. The classroom was crowded, disorganized, and the curriculum had tons of spelling and grammar errors. Yet they charge nearly $2,000 per student. It's a money grab, plain and simple. But what really broke me was the way I was treated by the staff. Marilyn, one of the owners, was cold, dismissive, and clearly had a chip on her shoulder. She refused to answer my questions, lied about not having a printer when I needed to reprint a background check form, and acted like I was a burden anytime I needed basic help. I still tried to push through because I was on a strict deadline to start nursing school. Then came the incident that pushed me to the edge. We were asked to review our attendance, and I noticed multiple errors. I went in person to clarify. Instead of asking me a single question, Marilyn immediately accused me of leaving clinicals early. I was stunned. I showed timestamped proof from my Clipper card showing my exact travel times, and she still repeated the accusation over and over. Then she brought in Dino, the instructor, who flat-out lied and said I had left early. They ganged up on me. A random woman in the office also inserted herself into the conversation because my voice was raised--which, yes, it was, because I was being falsely accused of something that could cost me my nursing future 10 plus times (not an exaggeration). I was shaking. I had done nothing wrong. I found my signed attendance sheet from the day in question after 30 minutes of digging. It proved I was present. Did I get an apology? No. Marilyn tried to claim it was a different day. I shut that down too. It was disgusting and clearly racial. The tone, the disbelief, the ganging up--it wasn't just a mistake, it was a targeted attack on my character. Cliff, the owner, came in "to help" but was immediately accusatory, but eventually just agreed. He updated my hours online, but the emotional harm was already done. A few days later, I was called into the office again. I assumed they were finally going to apologize. Instead, they told me they were "concerned about me becoming a nurse." The audacity. The falsely accused me of something with zero evidence. Marilyn didn't even know what the word "accusing" meant. I wish I was joking. I had to explain it to her. She eventually gave me an apology, but it was insincere and too late. That moment stuck with me--being made to feel like I did something wrong for simply defending myself. On top of that, Cliff frequently made inappropriate comments during class. One student--who was only 17--said her mom (a former student) warned her to stay away from him. He made us all uncomfortable. During our CNA test review, I couldn't remember one of the skills, and in front of the whole class, he told me my response was "pathetic." Not only was it unprofessional and humiliating, but again, I was balancing multiple jobs and college courses while still showing up and doing the work. He later apologized when the room cleared, but it was clear who he respected and who he didn't. The only decent instructor in the entire program was a kind black man whose name I sadly forgot. He was respectful and actually listened. BOTTOM LINE: CAL ACE does not care about your education, your dignity, or your future. They care about your tuition and keeping their shady operation running. If you have another option--take it. This place needs to be investigated, restructured, or shut down. No one should have to experience what I did just to become a CNA. Update: CAL ACE has since responded--but instead of taking accountability, they doubled down and claimed I succeeded "with their support." Let me be clear: I succeeded in spite of this school, not because of it. They falsely accused me, publicly humiliated me, and failed to take responsibility even after I proved I was telling the truth. They are being reported currently. I've also added some screenshots of what students really think about the school.

Going into a CNA program, I thought it would be another stress added but it was so chill, and Rusty made it so entertaining. Recommend him 100% to anyone looking to get their CNA.

The two hour session just flew by. One minute the session was starting, the next thing I realized she was wrapping it up. Karen has an amazing and infectious energy that is transmitted to everyone in the class. The class is very well organized and even fun. Karen has decades of service with the Santa Clara Fire Department. So she is very experienced, dedicated, passionate, professional and despite it being a Saturday morning, really seemed to be enjoying herself! I can't imagine a better learning environment for this material. In summary, I sincerely recommend HeartReady and Karen.

I've been needing to renew my BLS/CPR certification for awhile now…read more My cousin recommended me a place through a friend she just met, Lori so I decided to check this place out. Place is kind of hidden, limited parking or you can also park on the street. This place is very clean, and cute haha I had the privilege to meet Lori very briefly, the owner, and she was really sweet. I took a class with my cousin. I think this place is new because I've never heard of it before and there's not many reviews on Yelp. Our instructor is Njoki. She was very friendly, welcoming and entertaining! I love her. She made you feel comfortable. The course was supposed to last 3 hours but it goes by really fast and you won't use up all the time. It was more like 2 hours for us since it was a smaller class plus the information from the videos can be redundant. My cousin and I were the only students for that class which I loved! I learn better in smaller groups. I don't like crowded classes. I know the one on Meridian always has bigger classes. You watch videos and then you do the hands-on party right after or along with the video. Njoki repeated the main things you needed to know on the test you took at the end so it stuck with me. I was worried about that part because it can be a lot of information to take in especially if it's been awhile, your first time, and that they change every 5 years or so. Be ready for a workout! I was out of breath and my arms and fingers were hurting haha My arms were sore for the next 3 days. We went through adult CPR, infant CPR, choking, AED Use and took a test at the end. Don't worry about failing. There's 25 questions, and they're pretty straightforward. The videos repeat and bold the important parts on the screen. Njoki also tests us along the way and repeats the correct answers and also reviews with questions on the test. Place was very clean. It was very cold that day and the place was heated so I was comfortable. The class was very fun and informational. Njoki was a great instructor. Prepare for laughs, an intense workout, and prepare to be extremely out of breath from all the chest compressions and counting out loud. I definitely recommend this place to anyone. The fee was $75! It is cheaper than other locations in San Jose. Will becoming back here for my renewal haha !

While financially may seem alot upfront; in the long run, it is most worth it for being a program under a year long!
