Current student here at premiere career college, I can tell you this program is going to push you to your limits. You will definitely be challenged from day one. But that's not just the academics. Be ready to put effort into your lab, lecture, and clinical. You will gain experience depending on the amount of effort you're willing to put into. What really makes the difference is the staff. Ms. Veronica and Ms. Elgie, in particular. They go above and beyond to make sure students don't just get through the material, but actually understand it and apply it confidently. Whether it's just another professor who stays after class to explain something again, or gives you the real and encouraging feedback needed to move forward, these people truly invest in you. All the support I have received has given me the confidence to know that I will be successful in the operating room, not just as a student, but as a member of the surgical team. read more

Working with Premier Career College has been a wonderful and stress-free experience. They guided us through the university applications and essay prompts every step of the way. I'm happy to say that my daughter was accepted to almost every university she applied to. Their team was attentive, supportive, and highly communicative throughout the entire process. I highly recommend them. read more

I can confidently say the CST program here has been one of the best decisions I've made for my future. The structure of the program is organized, hands-on, and truly prepares you for the real operating room environment. It's not just textbook learning you actually build confidence and competence step by step.Ms. Veronica and Elgie are absolutely amazing instructors. They don't just teach they care. They made complex material easier to understand, kept the class engaged, and somehow made learning surgical procedures genuinely fun. Their energy, patience, and real-world experience made a huge difference in my confidence going into clinicals.They push you to be disciplined and professional, but they also support you every step of the way. You can tell they truly want their students to succeed.If you're serious about becoming a surgical technologist and want instructors who are knowledgeable, supportive, and passionate about what they do, this is the program to choose. read more

Everything went well! I loved the way the instructors taught the materialthey were always helpful, supportive, and made learning enjoyable. The staff was great, and the environment felt very professional and positive. I'm so excited to graduate soon and thankful for such a great experience at Premiere Career College! read more

Current Surgical tech student The program is challenging but rewarding. Great staff always helpful and especially Dr. Glenn, he's always motivating and pushing us to do to our best.

The program was challenging but in the best way possible. It pushed me to my limits and prepared me for the fast-paced environment of the OR. The school's focus on teamwork also meant that I graduated with not just technical skills, but with the ability to collaborate effectively with a surgical team. Overall, Ive had a pretty great experience here. The surgical tech program is top-notch, with knowledgeable professors especially Dr.Glenn who really cared about our success. The hands-on training in the lab and clinical rotations gave me the confidence I needed to better as a tech *please do not be discouraged by the negative comments i have NEVER had any experiences with such * read more

Should be ZERO stars! This school is a complete SCAM! Do NOT enroll here. They lost their licensing from BVNPT back in Feb and did not tell their students. They are NOT honest! They will lie to your face and pretend everything is okay. They are money hungry and that's all they care about. All other programs here are now under PROVISIONAL license! DO NOT GO HERE! Find another school!!! read more

Don't come to this school It may be cheaper than any other places but is not worth it. Run by Filipino. They speak their language and I find that disrespectful. Gloria doesn't know anything and doesn't care for any students needs. I strongly don't recommend this school. They charge you to make copies to get your lecture. So have a job before coming to this school because they charge you for every lecture it's needed weekly. read more

I took the surgical tech program and it's really easy to catch on and I felt that the program went by very quick.

Since the beginning they support me in different matters even financially and keep looking for options so I can enroll in one program, I'm so happy I did because gave me the opportunity to practice at a clinic and do different tasks, even when after finish my externship I didn't got hire for any reason, the school was constantly calling me and sending me to jobs to apply and I ended up hire and working at something I really like ! read more

I strongly recommended this school. All I know is I've learned a lot from this school and I'm so grateful no matter what happened during my school year. It was tough! but I appreciate them more. FYI THERE'S NO PERFECT SCHOOL. So don't expect everything will be smooth as plan. Unexpected things happens but they will try their best to help their student and thats all matter. Staff is very helpful and approachable. This is from what I've observed and experienced. Okidoks. THANKS MUCH PCC. read more

I went to this school 4 years ago as a MA I had Dr.Kim Dr.Maha and Raymond very good teachers and the best MA coordinator Belinda!! I called today to get info about the MA certificate They transferred me to some lady named Aurora who didn't give me the right information, is she even a MA coordinator!?? And she kept asking me for my name, what does that have to do with getting information about the certification And why the Hell did she tell me Belinda is on leave!?? I wouldn't of done it without Belinda, not only is she good at her job, but she is very Passionate of what she does and a big help for not only myself but for my MA classmates. Premiere career college wake up and learn the correct information!!! read more

This school scammed (fraud) by taking loans out and referring me for a hs diploma which found out was fake if you decide to go here please be careful because they also terminated my schooling while I was on a medical leave I lost my childcare services and couldn't get into another school without the hs diploma and ruined my credit read more

Worst school ever promise to help you find a job was never helped ! Wasted my money here do not do the same recently reached out to Belinda to help me look for a job and she never got back to me ! Had to work in retail after being unable to find a job in my field and when I finally found a job it was no thanks to the school! read more

They don't help you & the financial aid lady was so rude. Definitely my worst experience IM GLAD I DIDNT ENROLL!

Go ANYPLACE else. These people only want your money, and you won't get a decent education. If I could give negative stars, I would. My son attended two programs here, and all they ever did was nickel and dime him for this fee and that fee. Promised IN WRITING, when he enrolled, to pay for his nursing board exam, yet only reimbursed him for half. They have two levels of finishing - graduators and completers. If you "just" complete, you are treated by them like a second-class citizen. Mind you, if you "graduate," their treatment isn't much better. Job assistance? Yeah, forget that. They don't help you with anything. Teachers send you to Youtube to watch videos rather than teaching. Please don't waste your life attending this school. read more

I always taught it was late for me to go back to school or even dream about working in the medical field. However Premiere Career College helped me become an LVN and invest in my own future. It's affordable and works around your schedule as well! I really recommend it for anyone aspiring to work in the medical field. read more

This school is awesome!! I started on September 5th and have had nothing but a great experience! I'm currently enrolled in the Medical Assistant Front and Back Morning Session!!! The classes are small and put you in a one on one learning setting. My Professor Dr. Kim Velasco has made this month here so far fun and yet challenging at the same time. The front office staff from Ms. Grace, Ms. Belinda, to Ms. Teresa and Ms. Jeanette, all these ladies are knowledgeable and welcoming! They're always there to help you if you need it or just to talk if your concerned about your progress. Thanks premiere career college!!! read more

If anyone was at the graduation June 2018, what a show. Did not know this school was religion based, christian, as they gave roughly 30 minutes of video praising Jesus followed by 45 minutes of 4 th grade awards. Even the students walking up stage where confused as to when to walk in. Let just be honest it was a hot mess. For the director or the program coordinator if you gave yourself a pat on the shoulders, you totally failed for the graduating class. read more

I graduated from here in 2001. I thought it would be better than a real college. I was young and stupid. They lied to me. what said my classes could transfer from Mount Sac. I should have known. Just cuz it has College in the name doesn't mean it's a college. Its a vocational school folks. You can take these classes for free at the adult schools. Then when I graduated I couldn't find a job. every employer wants experience and cramming 2 years of college into six months doesn't count as experience. Recently I went back to see if they can help my and I'm still getting bull sh!ted. Allegedly they trying to get me a job and supposedly the person who could hire me is on vacation. Don't waist your money on schools like these. Go to a real college. read more

I graduated in the MA program. The staff was kind and patient. Towards the end of the program the last curriculum is externship. The staff help you find a good externship site where you learn hands on skills at an actual clinic. After I got my hours, the clinic liked my work ethic and hired me right out of school. I was working before the actual graduation ceremony lol. The staff is very helpful, but you also need to take the initiative to ask questions and let them know where you need help specifically. Hope this helps anyone looking into the MAFB program :) read more

I finished the LVN program here and I am so proud to say I have passed the NCLEX.... If you decide to do the program you have to be fully committed because they can't help you if you don't help yourself... You will have to study The teachers here are very supportive and the faculty and financial aid are so helpful as well... If you work just be ready because there are changes of schedules every module... but once you progress the schedule gets easier... This school even gives you a review class so you will be ready for the NCLEX. I hope this review was able to brighten your prospective on where to start your nursing journey. read more

DO NOT GO TO THIS SCHOOL! It is owned by Filipino, and I am Filipino and they try to SCAM ME!!!!! They would require you to pay and buy a laptop that you wont even use. The laptop was only 400$ in Bestbuy, and they will charge you 1,000$ for it. They said the difference is for the fucking wifi. Can you believe it?! People here just wanna get your money off of your pocket!!!!! DR. TORRES told me that i couldnt talk about my tuition fee w my classmate, because of HIPPA LAW!!! Really?! Did they really know what HIPPA LAW MEANS?! So people before you go here make a research first!!!! I finished my program here but not because of them, its because of hardwork. Oh, they even make you buy textbooks that you dont even use. Lol! And the "supplies" that you use, they charge you for it. Those supplies are just DONATIONS. BE AWARE! THIS SCHOOL KNOWS NOTHING BUT TO SCAM PEOPLE! read more

School is kinda awful. They always change what they said. I'm from last VN program and graduated. The program stated Jan 14 2019, 15months program. We barely graduated on May. The school policy for our class is after you graduated(pass HESI exit 800+), you will be able to take your NCLEX, but the school now is tell us to do mandatory virtual ATI mandatory review for 12 weeks(3months) which is not fair. Just because school want to raise their passing rate. they are holding our NCLEX application paper now for almost 2 and half months already. It's not a reliable school.. read more

I was a student of Dr. Amir. He was and is an amazing teacher. He was also very helpful, along with the whole staff, he made sure that we learned the curriculum as best we could. I am currently an Accounting Assistant at a Logistics Company in The City of Industry. I highly recommend anyone to attend this school. read more

For the Record, I am a current LVN Student at this Awesome College. At this College they mean Business! But the Real Question is do you mean Business? Sincerely ask yourself this rather direct Question. If you are ready to work hard, learn and get the very Best Education Money can Buy Anywhere in the World!!. This is the place for you. But if otherwise then make up your mind! The School offers the required Medical/Clinical Training that would match any Global Institution! I have obtained Education from Africa and Europe so my opinion is very sincere concerning the LVN education here. All the Staff both Academic and Non-Academic are World Class! This is my Third Continent, not Country and not City! So I fully understand that Quality Education is like a rare Diamond that can only be obtained by Students that are determined to Succeed in Life! Other colleges should take their entire Academic staff to Premiere Career College to be retrained and reskilled about the Nursing Profession.The College supports your Dreams, Ambitions and Personal Goals from Start to Finish. But once again, are you ready to join a Stellar World-Class Career Institution? Or do you want to continue Dreaming of how impossible it might, could or would be? Remember, Time waits for nobody, respects nobody and ultimately answers to nobody. The Premiere Career College doors are open so come on in and ignite your Ambition, Dream and Nursing Career. Those that have succeeded in this College, have put in all the time, energy and determination. While those that did not! were never ready in the first place! Negatively minded students blame everybody and everything for their inadequacies! Always have, Always will.!! Enough said. Get to work, Get on board and enjoy the ride and remember the Patients that need Medical Care cannot wait for too long.! Do you care? If you do then let Premiere Career College take care of your Nursing Education. Bravo! Premiere Career College Bravo!! read more

Hello, My name is Sam Quick and I was a student worker as well as a worker presently of this amazing school. Now before you go on and think to yourself this "petty yelp review by myself is biased" Let me redirect you to my point. I originally came to Premiere with a goal in mind, and an open mind of opportunities. I was a fresh-out high school graduate, 18 years old and very very confused on what my life will lead to. I decided to just check out some schools see what they offer like anyone else would, and I came across Premiere Career College through my cousins. Two took LVN here and One took Surgical Tech. and as of now they are LVNs working and in a RN bridge program still succeeding and the ST is in a very successful position working in the hospital. I decided why not try it? I took the Medical Assisting Program. It was short, easy, fun, and it was an honest and fulfilling profession to build off. The staff was like family, the instructors had nothing but support and help all through the program and Belinda my Student Service Counselor found me an internship site that really fit my skills and confidence. For the short amount of time I was going to school they noticed my school ethics and grades were very good. (Thank You Dr. Kim helped me out a lot with learning how to answer phones, organize my paper work, office-related skills.) They hired me part time while I was in-school. Working their and studying there my schedules at Premiere were from 8am-8pm. I basically lived here. But working here till now my heart has grown bigger for helping people. The workers here really inspired me to work with your heart. Once I went on into my internship they noticed how professional and diligent I was learning hands on. and I got hired on the spot as a Medical Assistant. and I know the next question you are asking... Why don't I still work as a Medical Assistant? To answer your question, I resigned to work for Premiere again and use my Medical Assistant Cert. for a plan B. My real passion was in Marketing. I fell in love with promoting the schools name that I found my calling. Of course I loved being an MA, but Premiere really showed my strong suite and the staff, instructors, and students really loved my presence and help. Right now I am a student worker again, but I am now a communications major and I am a self-taught marketer here at Premiere. You noticed how I didn't mention anything about the money? It's because when you work hard, actually come to school, study your butt off, and comply with the regulations and rules with the school.. you get your payments done and you don't have to worry about retaking any courses, modules, phases, etc.. Working here I see students enjoying class, I see them putting their money into good use, and I see them succeeding. The instructors are not here to come after you or scold you. They are here to help you and comply with your every need. WE DO HELP, but YOU NEED TO ASK FOR HELP. We want you to pass, but we need you to WANT to pass. We are a school of integrity. If I was only 18 yrs old and able to get through my program why wouldn't anyone else be able to? ANYONE CAN DO IT! ANYONE CAN BE AN LVN, ST, HCST, etc.. but you have to WANT IT! Please don't let these opinions cloud your judgement, come in for yourself. I'll be here at the front waiting to say hi. read more

I'm a current student here. Students seem well educated completion date is Oct 2010

School was great and teachers were awesome. Once it came to externship. I have been on a wait for 3 months and they tell me 1 hospital then another then another and another, but don't place me anywhere. It has been such a headache. Hate it so bad. They do everything to their convenience. The down side was that I got certified as soon as I was done with the book stuff and have a provisional certification so if I don't complete my hours in the next 3 months it expires and I am screwed with taking the test again. read more

I have a lot of issues, but will not write a whole book. Everytime I call for help, or ask for it I have to talk to them about money first. I wish I would have went to a 4 year college, because honestly i feel like I no longer want to be a nurse (LVN) thanks to coming here :( I feel like I have wasted so much money and time here. read more

I went to school there to be a Medical Assistant. They said they would find me a job and that didn't happen. I have moved away from there and tried to find a job and I couldn't get one because I am not certified! They don't help you get certified. read more

I knew enrolling in this school was the best choice I could have made I learned alot of new things The staff is great The students are motivational My teacher is so amazing She loves what she does I'm glad I chose this school I don't regret one bit I would recommend plenty of people to this school Being here is my happy place I smile pulling into the parking lot Premier college is the best college for you read more

I went for a tour at the school and they explained the programs and payment method to me . While I was getting tour on campus lady that was showing me around wasn't prepare she forgot keys will leave me outside for good 10-15 min until she back. She will leave me a lot of the time waiting at different location of the campus and told me to wait till she came back. While one of the times that she left and I was standing alone in front of a class a few student from the class came out and gave the best advice not to take the course here that it wasn't worth my money , time, or good school to come to. When she show me some of the classes they didn't look professional enough some of the material student were using look run down and reuse from previous years. After I left campus I saw reviews on yelp I saw bad reviews so I decided to not take the course here and also thanks to those student who where already students there for the advice of telling reason why not to go there . I wasn't impress by the lady tour. read more

Great school.. The instructors are awesome.. They gave me everything I needed to succeed and to become the best student I could be. They were very informative, helpful, and made it easy to get extra help. The program was easy to follow and made Recources available if needed. The staff was friendly with everything from the simple gesture of free morning coffee to bar-b-q's for lunch.. The attention given from the instructors from day one made it simple to strive, stay on track, and succeed throughout the program scoring high on every test as well as finals.. The clinical coordinators were just as awesome. They were very friendly, informative, and experienced. They made it easy to perform surgery and to learn so much during my rotation.. I'm glad I came to this school and I wouldn't change a thing.. If you're thinking of a career change and looking for a great school with an awesome experience look no further than Premiere College.... read more
