This school is great! I just got done with the dental assistant program. During the program i was pregnant from start to finish! I had my baby in the 3rd week of the final mod. All my instructors were very respectful and accommodating to me. Throughout the entire program i gained so much knowledge both in office as well as in class. I am so glad i did the dental assistant program ! All of the sjvc staff was amazing, super informative and helpful when i needed anything!! read more

Went through their criminal justice program, it was amazing, I learned a lot. The faculty and teachers I had were amazing, lots of insight into the field I chose. read more

The instructors are outstanding and the lab equipment is really good. The school counselors that help you to get into the school are really great. The career services do an outstanding job at placing you with employment. Overall, I very highly recommend this school. I recently completed the HVACR course I was taking and it was an amazing experience. read more

Terrible! I have been trying to get ahold of them for weeks with no response. They are careless and only care about the money, not the student! read more

I was not a student at SJVC but a potential student. The initial friendliness of the school is why I gave them one star. I went through a long process of testing, meeting with financial aid, updating my resume, writing an essay, obtaining HS and college transcripts, obtaining a letter of recommendation and a list of references to become enrolled into the RT program just to be denied at interview time. I was discriminated against due to my status as a full-time working single mother. The director would not accept me into the program, even with my qualified experience, based on the fact that I work more than 20 hrs a week. although my work schedule would not interfere with the school schedule, because I work nights, He recommended that I cut back from working full-time to part time. This was not an option for me because I am a single mother. I put a lot of time and thought into going back to school in a full-time program and am more than capable of juggling work and school and being a mother but the director tried to run down every scenario with me about how my child would get sick, I would get sick from lack of sleep and how my car would break down. Basically because the school is under provisional accreditation they are very selective on who they will allow into certain programs. If they believe you can be a high risk of not graduating on time, they may not accept you. read more

This school was a great choice for me. It offers a fast pace learning environment with quick results. I wanted to make a change in my life, starting with a real education and real training for a career path was the choice for me. You have to be dedicated to yourself to make anything in life successfully, why shouldn't your school be the same way. I have been surrounded by dedicated teachers and staff! I couldn't have picked a better place to attend. Real life decisions for real life people!!! read more

Please do not even think about going here. If you look up the history of "Fraud" to the federal Gov. concerning the loans they screwed students with and the less than honest on actual placement %. your in for a surprise! I have a friend who went to the Bakersfield school. She used to work in the fields there. upon graduating everyone was supposed to write a positive review about the school before they received there diplomas. According to her the feds came in and the family who runs the school was fined some major $$"s and were under probation for some time. Almost lost the schools. Like the old saying goes. "A Leopard's never changes there spots" here you will find the trend: on a well known site for rip offs. Oh and this young lady I convinced her to go to a accredited public school and on to San Diego State which I paid for and now is making a 6 figure income. ******BEWARE****** read more

I'd like to give zero stars. This school is a scam. They will charge you $10 - $15,000, for no education. Their teachers have no experience on what they are teaching on. They will have you read from a text book most of the time. You will get zero education, and a huge debt. Don't go here. The best part is at the end, they will put you at a horrible business, that can't keep an employee. That business will usually end up hiring you for, get this, $10 or $11 an hour. The school acts like they did you this huge favor. Honestly, you can get a better job on your own, without acquiring a huge debt. This school was a huge waste of time. Why would I want to contact the school? So you can help me get another $11 an hour job? No thanks! This school is a scam. read more

Ok I went there today for my tour and some what an interview. See if the program I choose was the right fit for me. Everyone was friendly. Like all schools. They of course want students to go cause that their job. Now don't just go into school not knowing what you want to do. Unless you want to just get your GEDs done then fine. I had over a year to think about what I want to do and how to prep myself. When I went in, I knew what I wanted to ask and what I know in my experience with school. My advisor will follow up with me. Which is fine. I was interested in the school and it's good to follow up. It's how to get people follow through. Yes, money is the factor but where doesn't a school does that. It's all business. I can't wait to start school... read more

I am currently enrolled in the CMA program and 15 weeks in. I have learned so much so far. The instructors are wonderful with a great learning environment. I am thankful for this program and the ability to expand my education. Night classes fit perfectly for my busy mommy schedule. read more

I have enjoyed my experience at SJVC. From start to finish, the staff has been truly amazing. They did exceed my expectations. So happy I was given the opportunity to attend SJVC. read more

The programs that the school has are awesome. I am in the HVAC program and everyone that I seen there has treated me n my fellow class mates with respect! This school is very helpful and the instructors are very knowledgeable!!! Although you have to be Independent in some areas but we are adults and not children!!' If your looking for a school where you will learn and I know for sure you will get a good job choose this place read more

This pandemic has definitely taken a toll on my learning, however SJVC Temecula provided me with all the tools needed to have a successful education. I was provided with an iPad that had all required apps already downloaded and instructions on how to navigate the school website. The staff is amazing at responding to any questions you may have and provide online tutoring. They are taking all safety measures seriously during the lab days. I'm so glad I made the switch over to this school!! I would definitely recommend this school if you're looking for a program that will guide you every step of the way to find your dream career!! read more

would not recommend this school! After spending a year and half completing my associates degree while working full time they decided not to let me walk on time with my graduating class even finishing my externship 3 weeks prior. It took me 7 weeks waiting for my "degree" and certificates to come in the mail.. still haven't received anything. They promise you will get paid good being in the field come to find out MA make minimum wage. The tuition is through the roof. They charged me $32,000. Something i will not make in a year working as a MA. They haven't helped me find a job in the field because they cant find a office offering higher than $13 an hr so they never called me. Dont go here its a waste of time and money. read more

The school is good and the teachers are good. The only thing that is horrible is the financial aid department. They suck!!!! They don't want to help you at all. You can call them, email them, ask to talk to them, but yet they will never get back to you. It's Ridiculous. Other then that, the school is really good. read more

I am a former student at sjvc. I enjoyed the staff and teachers very much. They were very helpful and cared a lot about us students, but financial aid did not have a clue as to what they where doing the only thing they were concerned about was to get you to sign one the line which is dotted. The two financial aid ladies could not answer my question they were dumb founded as to what I was asking. And for great lakes they charged me $58k in just interest alone on a $16k loan how does that happen?????People be very careful. read more

I can't believe I'm reading these bad reviews. I have been attending for almost 3 months now and I love it! My teachers are all wonderful and so helpful. They go above and beyond any college instructors I've ever met. Since my first day I walked into the office to enroll I have been treated kindly and they answered all my questions, especially Grace! She broke everything down for me so I could understand it and always kept communication if I needed further help. I enjoy my time here and I'm so happy I decided to choose SJVC! read more

I don't get why people have bad comments towards SJVC, but I will be graduating in January 2017 and I have successfully finished my Medical Assisting program, it was such a fun hands-on training. I will so recommend this to anyone who is looking towards the medical field. I have happily done my externship and was hired right away! Thank you to the staff and to my career adviser Stephanie Biggs for helping me through all this, I have struggled with personal problems but have successful finished my courses. I would once again thank all the teachers and staff for all their help. read more

if you are an electrician go to union they pay you for your schooling. they are all completely incompetent and youtube will teach you more. this is a scam do not go here. read more

Great school and Amazing Instructors!!. You get one on one hands on to practice and learn at the same time. Schedule for classes are great. INSTRUCTORS are always positive and happy to teach. I will definitely recommend this school to anyone. I'm now a Registered Dental Assistant and enjoying what I do. read more

I am currently attending SJVC at the Temecula Campus and I absolutely love it. I don't understand why there are such harsh ratings about the school. I am almost done with my schooling, then onto extern. I believe this school is one of the tougher schools to get into because there is an interview process before being accepted. I passed it with flying colors. As long as they think you are serious and passionate about your career then you'll be accepted. The rest is up to you as an individual if you want to succeed in the program of your choice. I love this school and I am so glad I chose this one to start my career. read more

I attended this school at the Temecula campus for their associates degree in medical assisting for a year and a half. Overall my experience was disappointing. They don't help as much as they encourage you they will. Their tuition is through the roof which you won't even make in a year working as a MA in the field. They don't care about your personal life outside of school and also don't give you accurate information about finishing your program on time. I Wouldn't recommend this school to anyone. read more

I'm looking forward to starting SJVC this July! When I visited the school eveybody was soooo nice and very respective and welcoming. The teachers was great, the campus was very clean. read more

Can honestly say the staff here is amazing. They will do everything they can to make sure you have everything you need to succeed. I always felt like I had a support system and now I have an amazing job doing what I love. read more

Before anyone can make a decision they need to go and check it out for themselves so they can fully see how great of an opportunity this school can be for someone. They have many new and educational programs coming up in this school and I started in the second RT program and there are always ups and downs with any place you go but I feel that this school takes your life and how you grow very personal and they want the best for you and they will push you as long as your willing to work toward your goals. -The staff is pretty great and the educators are wonderful when it comes to getting you set up into your program. -check it out and get started on your new life choice!! -RT PROGRAM RULES!!!! read more

I don't know why this school is getting such bad reviews! I graduated from SJVC in July and I really enjoyed everything about going to school there. The staff were all super nice and great to all the students. I loved the hands on experience they gave you.But what I really liked was my career advisors. I had Stephanie the head of career services for a little till Stephanie Biggs took over handling all my stuff. Both of them were amazing to me! They never gave up on me and trying to help me find a job after I was done with externship. It did take me a little while to get a job. But they continuously sent my resume out to people and set up many interviews for me. I now have an amazing job that I really enjoy and I don't think I could have done it with out Stephanie Biggs! If you're considering this school for the medical assistant I would definitely recommend it! You won't be disappointed. read more

Please don't waste your time and money. This school is a joke and all they want is your money. They constantly give you false information about everything. Half of the students want to withdrawal! read more

I checked out this school probably about 6-7 months ago and was immediately turned off. I talked to Gia V. and she was such a cheesy salesperson. She talked and talked and didn't express a lot of interest in me. These for profit colleges are a waste of time/money because they are not regionally accredited; meaning if you want to further your career at a REAL college your credits might not be accepted. Don't waste your time or money. read more

This school is amazing. The atmosphere is just what you need to complete your goals. I am really enjoying the classes and teachers. I have been looking for a school for about 3 years and when I found sjvc I knew it was the one for me. read more

SJVC has been an amazing experience. Ive only been here for a few months but the teachers are amazing they really help you understand the material. One teacher who really stands out is Mr. Fitch, he really takes a lot of time and energy to really help you understand and learn. I only hope the rest of the staff is the exact same. SJVC is amazing so far. read more

I'm currently enrolled in the dental assisting program. I absolutely love everything about it! If you are interested in dental assisting, I highly recommend this program. read more

I was halfway done with the application process and financial aid when I decided that I didn't want to take the Medical Assisting program anymore. I called the school to let them know and they transferred me to talk to an advisor. I talked to a girl Tiffany and explained to her why I didn't want go through with it. She constantly kept asking me and I kept having to explain over again. Soon she started to sound pushy and making me feel obligated to take this program. I didn't like that. All I wanted was to tell her I'm not interested anymore but she insisted on trying to make me take it. Also I had an advisor who was supposed to be helping me through the whole process. She basically forgot about me and stopped keeping me updated. This school just wants you for your money. Furthermore, I do not like the feel of this school. These advisors are absolute trash and I am so glad I didn't start anything here. read more

SJVC has been such an amazing school to attend. I graduated from the Medical Assistant program and so happy with everything that I've came across with the 7 months I attended for my program. The teachers and staff are always willing to help you in any way that is needed. Including answering the same question you asked 5 minutes ago to help you understand, as well as staying after school to understand. And the programs are amazing. I'm not going to lie, the 7 month certificate program was challenging with classes each being only 5 weeks long, but I'm so happy I took this road. It does require a lot of studying and work that you have to be willing to put 100% attention and work towards. I learned so so much and was so happy that I was able to go to school and then get a job within the same year. After your classes, you will do an externship and hopefully get a job after. They help you by sending out your resume and seeking offices that are hiring as well. Thank you so much for the amazing experience and I can't wait to see what's in store for me next. read more
