Never had such a negative experience like this one. The staff is really rude and the instructor of the Spanish class made a lot of rude jokes while doing the course. She was mean to a pregnant woman that couldn't understand really well how to do the chest compressions and she started yelling at her to "do it right" in a rude bad way. It was the class in Spanish but my other coworkers have been experiencing the same with the white lady in the front desk. My boss was the one that suggested us to go there but the white lady was even rude to her this time so we're never going back!

Worst phone customer service experience. Kris who answers…read morethe phones was rude and unhelpful. She doesn't actively listen and will cut you off in mid question/sentence. I was close on canceling all together and find a different location, but only stayed due to its close driving distance from home. The instructor, JJ, on the other hand was awesome. He made the class enjoyable and was both engaging and thorough. Especially liked how he spoke in repetition to help us better remember key steps.

I just finished my 4 week theory and clinicals for the CNA program at the El Cajon Campus. Dr. Ray…read morewho taught is in theory (class time) was great! The fast paced program requires some self discipline to study and practice the skills on your own time. We spent 2 weeks (full time) in class and then spent 2 weeks in a skilled nursing facility for clinicals. There was always time for questions and extra help if needed. It is a great program for people who are getting started in the medical field and want to pursue nursing but do not want to make a long term commitment just yet for schooling. There is a few weeks (possibly up to 4 weeks) between the time that you finish clinicals and the time that you can take the state exam, because you have to wait for the state to confirm and approve your class/clinicals hours. This part is a little frustrating - but it is the state and not the school that dictates this waiting period.

This is a horrible program to attend due to the lack of communication and the amount of time it…read moretakes to receive your certificate. If you are not pressed for time or money, take the course. If you are signing up because you think it takes 22 days then please go to a different program. This school makes you take the program and wait an additional 3 weeks for the certificate. They are very rude. The teachers are great but the staff is horrible. Cecilia is the only administrator and has horrible communication. I have my certificate but 6 other students in my class are still waiting for responses. They made a student retake her clinicals because she forgot to turn in a physical. The school should be reported to the state for allowing students to take clinicals without proper documentation..a few students were also in high school and had to miss days for that and the school is making them wait 6 weeks to redo 1 or 2 days. It's actually surprising they are even open. On top of that I dare you to call them. The response rate is 1-2 weeks. I'm in the middle of reporting them to state and the BBB because I genuinely feel sick for the other students who are the mercy of the school since they don't give refunds. And if you think you can complain to TUBA the owner, WRONG. She's worse. She calls the students back and is so rude to them, how dare they waste her time. Anyways pay the extra money to go to another school like Eastlake medical college. Eastlake gives you your certificate and schedule your exams within 2 weeks of graduation. San Diego medical college makes you wait 3 weeks for the certificate and then you have to sign up for exams which can take 2 weeks. Dont confuse the Eastlake branch of San Diego medical college with Eastlake medical college. They are two different school.

I couldn't have chosen a more professional and courteous company for this service to improve the Safety Program at my business. Thank you Carlo!

At one point, I tried to ask her a question about whether the breathing part actually delivers enough oxygen, but her answer was for a different question. I felt like she didn't take the time to listen to what I was asking. The CPR training was reasonable, but the First-Aid part was barely addressed. I recently completed a NOLS/WMS Wilderness First-Aid course through REI, and I felt like I learned so much there. And while being in the wilderness may be a significant difference in circumstances, the injuries are not. Blisters, heat-exhaustion, impalements, etc. can all happen anywhere, especially with children. But in the end they were quick to respond to my email, and I got my certification in less than 2 hours, on a holiday weekend no less, so I guess I should be happy with that. I'm just not someone who's looking for an 'easy A'. It's kind of sad, because many of the students that come here are working for schools or the YMCA, and they're supposedly the ones trained to handle your children in emergency situations.
