Ms. Rose was such a great instructor and was able to answer all questions the class and I had. She really made the learning process more fun while still making sure we remembered the important info and how to use it during our clinical training. I was super nervous about taking the CNA exam, especially bc I was the last of my class to take it, but thanks to her I was able to pass both the written and manual exams so easily! Definitely worth coming to SDMC(:

DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS SCHOOL! NOT WORTH THE MONEY OR…read moreHEADACHE! They overcrowd the class & have old worn out/old supplies & items. The class is way to small to small to study skills because they only care about getting the most students in to make as much money as possible. Front staff were no help and are all related to the owner. Constantly left in the dark whenever we had questions or concerns. Save your time and money and don't get yourself tied up with these people. Incompetent rude amateurs.

I have made amazing connections with my instructors and friends who are my family and I really enjoyed my time here learning about what it takes to become a CNA and what they do. They give us plenty of time to practice, study, and ask questions. All supplies were given and jobs were provided as well! I feel at home whenever I come to school, never a day when it was a drag to get to class. I have received my certification and am an official CNA and I plan on working soon! :) yay thank you PHEC! I would definitely recommend applying for PHEC!

(Sharing with some political office?? Random, but not inconvenient or obtrusive) Awesome: They offer a variety different class dates and times, you can pay online via Paypal, and our instructor Tricia- she was GREAT! funny, energetic, engaging; definitely seemed like she had done this before and new what she was doing. Also materials/props seemed clean and well-maintained. Our 6PM class even got complimentary coffee! Good: Price is lower end compared to other places, handouts were concise and easy to understand. They didn't try to sell a bunch of extra materials like other places do... but they DO still offer and have them available! Note: The official handbook thing isn't necessary, even for healthcare providers. I bought one for $10, so no great loss...but you don' t need it. Also the website looks ehhhhhh, but works just fine :)

My certifications expired in 2011, and since I needed to be recertified, I returned to A B CPR. My instructor this time was CJ, and she was just as knowledgeable and funny as Tricia, telling us stories and jokes about her experiences. Both times I went to the Mission Valley location, because it was the most convenient for me. They're the most reasonable place to get your certifications, and you can pay from their website by PayPal.

This business is an absolute horrible scam. I paid for the fast track class and then they proceeded…read moreto notify me after the fact that I needed multiple vaccines before the end of the two week period or my classes would automatically be rescheduled to a further date. Number one, I was taking the class full-time so I didn't have enough time to get those vaccines. They're also very expensive vaccines that the school doesn't help you pay for which is an unreasonable expectation to give a student AFTER they paid 1500 for a class. I called customer service to get a refund because the website states that you're entitled to a refund if you're dissatisfied with the service, however the customer service rep told me that in the fine print it's a prorated refund. I did not even get the prorated refund over the phone so I had to file a claim with my bank. Once I filed a claim with my bank, the company reversed the claim again. Obviously, I'm not making this up because if you read almost any other review about this place on any website, it's all negative. They also didn't have the right size clothes I paid for. Not to mention, they reschedule classes in the middle of the night and change the format back-and-forth between online and in person which makes it impossible to attend. If I had the time I would get a lawyer, but all I want is my money back

We took an adult, child, and infant CPR class offered by Scripps here, and I CANNOT recommend it…read more Right from the start, the class was disorganized. Apparently too many people booked, so the instructor went around the class demanding to see everyone's paperwork and claiming that some of the attendees must have the wrong date. When everyone proved that they had indeed registered for the date in question, rather than apologizing, the instructor became defensive and told us that she didn't have enough infant mannequins to go around. When people started to question the efficacy of learning CRP without a mannequin, she continued complaining about the program management as she went off to scrounge up some additional mannequins. Even after finding 3-4 more mannequins (one of which apparently didn't work) there still weren't enough to go around, so about half the class had to share. The class itself consisted of the instructor playing videos to us, and making uncomfortable jokes, including one about having to stay alive to keep her children away from her ex-husband. Eventually another instructor arrived to assist, and this one was markedly better. Still, it's likely we could have gotten the same level of training by simply watching the videos. My advice to those looking for CPR, especially expectant parents, is to look elsewhere.

This class went over first aid and CPR, mainly the basics given a certian situation. Since all situations will be different being able to recognize some signs we're helpful. The instructor Tricia was expressive and engaging, the 4 hour class flew by quickly with an information dump of how-tos, both in video format and with partner demonstrations. There were room for questions after each section and each answer was informative. Luckily they provide a take home manual that summarizes the slides you'll be going through if you forget. Bring snacks and drinks (closed tops/bottles), as you'll get breaks in between, though they do offer some for sale.
