The instructors were awesome and always there before and after class to help. I could call them on a weekend and ask questions if I didn't understand when cramming for a test.

I researched all the Available EMT schools around my area and decided on The Academy For Professional Development. I would highly recommend if you want to succeed in a career in EMS.

Please read before enrolling. I have just graduated from this LVN program, and I can honestly say…read morethat throughout the entire 12 months, the program was extremely unorganized. Module 1 was by far the most difficult not because of the material itself, but due to poorly prepared instructors who did not seem knowledgeable about what they were teaching, along with administration that relied heavily on fear and intimidation rather than support. Module 2 continued with the same issues. When I reached out for help regarding a class concern, I contacted Mr. Baca, the VN coordinator, and received a very cold, dismissive response. There was no compassion, no guidance, and his demeanor was unprofessional, rude, and insincere. This lack of support was consistent throughout the program. Module 3 was overall the easiest academically; however, the Med-Surg 2 instructor was frequently absent and displayed petty behavior, which further reflected the program's lack of structure and accountability. Module 4 was the one exception. Dawn, the OB instructor, was exceptional--she is one of the most passionate and dedicated nurses I have ever met. Ms. Charmaine, the instructor thats a NICU nurse was also outstanding and truly amazing. These two instructors were the highlight of the program and the only ones who genuinely cared about student learning and success. Along with Jay the clinical instructor, he holds a lot of passion for what he does. I did pass the exit exam and have completed the program. I would only recommend this school to individuals who are 100% committed to becoming a nurse, highly resilient, and capable of navigating a program with minimal support. Unfortunately, there is little to no help from instructors or management. Ms.Tu although i did not speak to her much she was always professional and helpful when i did contact her. Overall, this program lacks organization, professionalism, and adequate student support.

I recently completed my LVN program (VN-90) at Gurnick Academy, Modesto location, and I am very…read moregrateful for this experience. The program offers a detailed and well-structured syllabus with excellent clinical exposure. The variety of clinical facilities helped me effectively connect theory with real nursing practice. The instructors are experienced, dedicated, and bring different teaching styles, which made learning engaging and meaningful. I would like to personally appreciate Ms. Mandeep Kaur for her excellent Med-Surg lectures and deep understanding of physiology. Ms. Dawn Hayek delivered outstanding OB lectures; her teaching style, expressions, and clinical insight made her lectures more valuable than textbooks. Ms. Laura impressed me with her energy and experience-based Pharmacology teaching. Ms. Charmaine brought strong expertise in PEDS and NICU, adding depth to her lectures. Mr. Phil Waymire played a key role during MOD IV and Capstone by helping tie everything together. His SIMS knowledge and rationales truly empowered students. I also appreciate Ms. MJ, Ms. Jess, and Ms. Ashita for being kind, supportive, and knowledgeable. The clinical instructors were exceptional. Ms. Antonieta Largoza is thorough and disciplined, ensuring strong fundamentals. Ms. Linda White is passionate and inspiring, and Ms. Alicia Grigsby has a unique teaching style with excellent student camaraderie. Special thanks to Ms. Tu (Director) for her coordination with students, Mr. Benne (VN Coordinator) for always advocating for students and resolving issues promptly, and Mr. Jay and Ms. Brenda (Clinical Coordinators) for their constant support and responsiveness. I also appreciate Mr. Tony (Security) for maintaining a safe and caring environment. Kudos to Ms. Kari, Ms. Sharjani, Mr. Veneet, Ms. Lori, and Ms. Edail Odisho for their continued support. My classmates were caring and supportive throughout the program, and I truly witnessed the nurturing spirit of future nurses among them. As a constructive suggestion, adding tutors with strong clinical and pathology-based knowledge could further enhance student understanding and learning outcomes. Overall, Gurnick Academy feels like a family, not just an institution. I hope the Modesto location introduces an RN program in the future and offers scholarships for continuing students.

One of the advisors in charge of attendance was incredibly judgmental to me personally. They are trying very hard to get people to attend and sign up because they need students money to stay open. I immediately told their financial aid department that I was unenrolling and to send ALL THE MONEY BACK to financial aid that they were receiving. So disappointed and really sad that the school did not care about my feelings when I asked for help. 10/10 DON'T RECOMMEND

Tina constantly pressured me to join her "internship," even after I made it clear multiple times that I wasn't interested. I had already heard it was a scam, so my answer was no from the start. Despite that, she kept calling and blowing up my phone even outside of class. She was scaring me. After I refused several times, her attitude toward me completely changed. She became rude and aggressive. I honestly wish I had recorded it. She also tried to talk badly about another student to "bond" with me, which was unprofessional and uncomfortable. I didn't engage. SHE DID NOT LIKE THAT I DID NOT ENGAGe. At the end, she told me to come pick up my certificate, mind you I lived hours away, I drove all the way there, only to find out she didn't even have it. Total waste of time. She said she would mail it she never did. Tina is extremely unprofessional and disorganized. She was often late, canceled classes frequently, and provided little to no real value. I paid $3,000 for this course and learned nothing. It didn't lead to a job or any real opportunity. She rushed me into paying quickly through Apple Pay, claiming it was a "deal" and that the price would go up to $5,000 if I didn't act fast. That pressure alone should've been a red flag. This entire experience was a waste of time and money.
