I contacted Pegi today to sign up for the class today. She sent me pictures of the class docs, a 3-ring binder and DVD's. I don't even have a DVD player any longer, it's 2024. She then informed me that she had two options for classes. 1st is in person which is more expensive than the 2nd online version. I got a bad vibe from Pegi and giggled to myself when I say the materials. Truth be told I feel like they only offer an online class so they can keep your money if there is any issues or conflicts with scheduling. I highly recommend you read through the 1-star reviews. I have decided not to use this company because they feel salesy and I get the feeling the money back guarantee is a scam. The reason for the 1-star review is purely based off my experience speaking with Pegi and her salesy tactics, she didn't seem like a guidance counselor to me. Shame on you all. read more

Today I was told by Pegi there are no refunds allowed. She compared Harvards tuition to this 4 week class. My first class is scheduled for May 30th 2 days from now and I paid for the class two weeks ago. Since then, I had to take a job so my family has medical insurance, seeing that's it the law and good practice to take care of your children. I explain this to Pegi, yes their may have been an issue with scheduling but she didn't care and pompisly proceeded to say they will keep my money. As an honest contractor I believe charging for work you didn't do is a crime. People like this are the very reason contractors get such a bad rap. Pegi, keep my money you shameless person. Shame on you CSLS. Your crooks. read more

This site was recommended by a colleague. I started at the text window and got a gentleman named Craig K, who was willing to have an actual phone chat with me! That was a selling point, but also that he was very knowledgeable and to-the-point. He reviewed all my info, updated my old info ( turns out I used them for my C license 10 years ago and they still had my info!!)...and got me the learning package I needed at a reasonable price. These folks are the only choice for me...10 years running (lol)! read more

The state notified me of my test date, which was two weeks away and I was freaking out. I signed up for their program and got started. One day before my test date, I was very apprehensive. Did I know the material well enough etc. So I went into the office and spoke with Raul Vasquez, not only did he reassure me, he coached me "how" to take the test. The coaching he provided allowed me to PASS the test. If you are going to get your contractor license and you don't use their program, good kuck you will need it. I can't thank you enough Raul! read more

The school was worth every cent and I passed the test easily. Stanley Kong actually went way beyond what I bargained for by helping me with my contractor's bond and helping me with filling out the packet for the CSLB. Everyone from Stephanie who took my initial call, the instructor at the Modesto School, to Stanley in the Fresno office made this a most positively wonderful experience.

I graduated from IOT's HVAC program in June of 2026…read more I'll try and keep it as short and to the point as possible. To start to all my fellow veterans DO NOT waste your hard earned GI bill on this place there are better options and you can't get it back. This place is a welfare to work school through and through. As a guy who just got out of the Marines as a mechanic I was looking to get into HVAC and IOT had openings in the program at the time I was looking, they have a pretty solid administration office that sells the school and program to you and give you a sense of professionalism when you do your initial tour. Once you sign the papers and start classes is when you see the reality. To keep it short roughly 90% of your fellow students will be welfare sponsored by what's called workforce connection hence a vast majority don't even want to be there, scroll on their phone all day, barely show up throughout the course. Basically If you show up a few times and type a "1-2 sentences on what you've learned" for each assignment you'll pass, I had a kid in the class that showed up pretty much only for the finals and still graduated with no issues. The staff even made jokes about how bad his attendance was but obviously no one cared enough to ensure there was a professional environment where standards were held for the education and student conduct. I also had an incident where my property was stolen in the lab by a fellow student and luckily I caught him and when confronted he threatened to fight me. Im an adult and not going to partake in foolish activities especially at what's supposed to be a professional education center and followed the proper chain of command for reporting the incident and was ensured it wouldn't be "brushed under the rug" and it would be "properly dealt with" long story short nothing happened with the student, no repercussions happened and he was allowed to continue on like normal and graduated a few weeks later. There was also multiple threats and warnings posted due to other students who were attending this institution. There is no accountability to uphold a safe and professional learning environment from the directors whatsoever. Lastly to wrap it up and hit all the main points I'll give some credit from my personal experience with the staff and say the administrative office does a great job at helping you through the enrollment process, the girls at the front desk are extremely helpful and great at their job, the instructors are good people but you can tell some of them are just there for a paycheck and there's not really a lot of learning that will occur. I had multiple weeks where sometimes we didn't even know who was supposed to be the instructor/substitution for the day because they were absent and us students would sit for hours in class doing nothing until the school scrambled up someone to "sit in" on the class. The school really is just submitting your elementary style homework on an E-textbook and taking the quiz at the end of the week. I will say though Mr. Markus does a great job of instructing in person in the labs and the labs seemed to be improving towards the last few weeks of my time at IOT before graduating since he took some feedback from the students and implemented it into the lab work. I also would like to give credit to Jonathan in career services who does come into the class and try and get to know some of the students and potentially help them in their search for a career. There is a lot of downtime that could be used for instruction and learning where people are typically sitting on their phones, the environment feels more like a high school then it does a college, there is no accountability or expectation for professionalism and safety, you'll walk away from here with a few certs you could have paid a couple hundred bucks instead of 20k+ to take online that you need about a day to study for (the school uses the same courses and tests you can do by yourself online and drags it out over 5 week intervals). If it were up to me I would say look elsewhere for better opportunities, but that's really just my opinion based off my personal experience.

Most instructors here--are knowledgeable and excellent…read more However, the admissions and financial aid process is misleading and predatory. Prospective students are rushed through tours and quickly pushed into signing enrollment contracts without first being clearly told whether they actually qualify for financial aid. Financial aid eligibility should be confirmed before any binding agreement is signed. Instead, students are locked into contracts first, then sent to financial aid afterward, stripping away any real ability to make an informed, responsible decision. The administration and financial aid staff are fully aware of how this process is structured, and they should be ashamed of operating in a way that pressures people into binding financial commitments without full financial transparency. This is especially concerning given that many prospective students are low-income individuals or people in difficult financial circumstances who are seeking a way to improve their situation. That reality makes this lack of transparency even more troubling and irresponsible. This approach prioritizes enrollment over honesty and puts students at unnecessary financial risk based on incomplete information. Schools should be required to verify financial aid eligibility before any enrollment agreement is signed--not after.

Chuck told my brother "Why would you do that? That's a horrible idea". He was laughing on the phone while speaking to my brother during this phone call. He also proceeded to tell my brother "What else are you planning to do with your life". Chuck hung up on my brother multiple times after trying to cancel his enrollment. He did not specify if he was going to cancel it which was why we kept calling for confirmation. Chuck continued to give us attitude throughout the phone call without any information. He was avoidant and rude. If this is the representation you guys are putting out, why would anyone ever want to be apart of this college? Talking down on students who decides to not join your college is absolutely ridiculous and inappropriate. Save yourself the headache and go to city college. A place that will ACTUALLY HELP YOU WITHOUT RIDICULING YOU. Also, the phone call was recorded by YOUR phone call system. I hope whoever the director is of UEI goes back and listen to Chuck's inappropriate comments.

If you do a good job, you will be noticed. Now, don't be fooled by the negative comments people will make. In order to succeed in this program, you HAVE to give your 100%. DO NOT expect things to be handed to you, DO NOT have a terrible attitude to your classmates or your instructors, and DO NOT whine when things are changed or not going your way. True success in this profession comes to those who give it their all and try they're hardest. Those who take shortcuts may be thriving now, but that will soon end. In a nutshell, if I could go back, I would. This program is amazing. If you work hard and do as you're told, you will succeed and you will make it through this program successful. They provide all the tools to allow that to happen. Good luck to those hoping to apply to this program. It is WORTH it. Thank you Gurnick for everything!

From the very beginning, she was patient, knowledgeable, and always willing to help whenever I had questions or needed extra support. Ms. Lynn made learning easy to understand by breaking down complex topics and ensuring every student felt confident in their skills. She genuinely cares about her students' success and takes the time to work with each person individually. Her encouragement, professionalism, and dedication created a positive learning environment that helped me grow both academically and personally. The Heart to Heart CNA Program provided me with the knowledge, hands-on training, and confidence I needed to succeed. Thanks to Ms. Lynn's guidance and support, I had one of the best educational experiences I've ever had. I highly recommend Heart to Heart CNA Program to anyone looking to become a CNA and receive quality instruction from an instructor who truly cares about her students.

For context, several other students who had various illnesses were allowed to proceed- favoritism is another favorite teaching tool of the instructor. Fairly certain, I was actually dismissed because I was being a pain in the butt by asking the instructor to show up on time, or at all for class. She really was quite considerate in putting vast amounts of time and effort into really long lunches, independent study, and ultimately spending more time trying to dismiss me from the program than she ever did trying to teach the class. We even had the pleasure of having a former student. Or a personal friend? Come in on skills day, and the FRIEND taught us how to use gait belts, do sheet transfers, and made super rude comments at us the whole time, despite the fact that it was literally our first in-person day. Emailed admin about 4 weeks ago after being dragged around the nursing home and humiliated regarding my stomach flu and consequently getting dismissed, and am being given the run around about getting any of my money back, so in hopes that no one else experiences what I did, feel free to ask any further questions about my experience with Heart-to-Heart CNA Program. What an epic waste of time and money!

I will definitely recommend this place to my fellow CNA's and anyone who needs CPR training. Thank you again to ACT!
