With so many already 1 month post of graduating and obtaining their licensure. Although the program was really hard and challenging, all the staff (especially Ruth E and Rebecca E for putting up with each and everyone of us), continued to help us every way and any way they can! Couldn't have done it without y'all, honestly! Shoutout to my professor: Professor Jenny Wilson for sticking with us through thick and thin! Also, to our student advisor! Bailey Pina, she's definitely a beautiful soul inside and out! She's on it! This school has definitely prepared me for the NCLEX. Questions were super challenging but I surpassed it! Thank you, UNITEK COLLEGE!

I am about to spend a small fortune, out of pocket,…read moreand I have little faith in the competence of staff and the quality of instruction so far. Instructions for students are unnecessarily complicated and unclear. The curriculum for the prerequisite class was subpar and borderline unacceptable, especially considering the $1200 price tag. Admin has been equally unimpressive. Communication is awful. The Complio system and the Unitek website are confusing and difficult to navigate. Since students are paying a lot of money for the convenience of this program, MAKE IT CONVENIENT.

    I am currently an extern in the cardiac program I've had a positive learning experience overall…read morewith this school, especially with my teacher, essie and the director, Rose. Both have been supportive, knowledgeable, and clearly care about student growth. I truly appreciate the instruction and guidance I received from them throughout the program. They have both helped me in furthering my education and focusing on my career. With that being said, I did experience some challenges with communication along the way with the overall school itself. There were times when I reached out with issue or concern and it would either take weeks or I didn't receive a response at all, when certain things were discussed or promised and I felt they weren't fully followed through. This made parts of the process more stressful than they needed to be, especially in a program that already requires a lot of dedication and effort. This is not an easy program, and it's important to understand that you have to be determined and willing to put in the work. This is not something that's handed to you--you truly have to earn it. However, I will say that if you remain persistent and advocate for yourself, the school does make efforts to support you and follow through. Overall, while there is room for improvement in communication, the quality of education and the commitment of key staff members made the experience worthwhile for me and I know this schooling experience will stay with me the rest of my life

It was hard work and dedication but well worth it. The program director & teachers have an open door policy and are always available to help you if you're struggling. If you are considering starting a medical career, I encourage you to check out HDMC. :)

I still have not spoken to a counselor or mentor about the process. The customer service is non existent once you are enrolled. They have yet to return a phone call or refund unused money to student loan providers. They refuse to email my personal email and require multiple sign ins to access school email. I refuse to subject myself to this abuse for what is shaping up to be a diploma mill. The class is a joke with without feedback or any meaningful content. I want a refund and all monies returned to my loan provider.

Posted hours are not kept (in direct violation to accreditation specifications), phone calls are routinely left unreturned, time lines for classes are not kept and the staff becomes irate when they are questioned or challenged. When I complained to the main National University campus last year, I was rudely dismissed with questions left unanswered and veiled threats concerning my complaints. I just spoke with the third fellow educator in the local community who was directly impacted professionally and financially by the ineptitude of these people. (please note that the ONLY Yelp reviews for National Bakersfield are mine; apparently word is getting around, thank goodness.
