I graduated from this school in September 2025 and was promised assistance with externship…read moreplacement. After waiting several months, I was finally contacted about an externship opportunity in South San Francisco. I explained that I had already relocated to Fairfield and requested placement closer to where I currently live. Shortly afterward, the school owner called me again regarding the review I had made about my experience. During the conversation, she stated that she did not appreciate my comments and that another staff member had informed her about them. The tone of the call felt confrontational and unprofessional. When I explained that my REVIEW reflected my personal experience and that I was not the only student who had expressed similar concerns, I felt dismissed and was told, "I am talking about you!." As a student, I believe feedback whether positive or negative, should be received professionally. My comments were based on my experience with the lengthy delay in securing an externship placement after graduation. I expected a constructive discussion rather than feeling criticized for sharing my honest experience.

I was so excited to be part of this program to have a better life for my daughter and myself as a single mother I completed the academic side of the program and when it was time to do the Externship program I was hit with medical setbacks which I have doctors notes for but unfortunately I was told that six months after I completed my academic portion of my schooling I can no longer be part of the program. I wouldn't be able to finish my externship meaning I wouldn't be able to get a job as medical Assistant after I begged and pleaded to just give me one more month to complete two more weeks of Externship due to medical issues. This place is uncaring and a money grab. They crushed my dreams because I had a medical issue. Funny this is the career we all joined the medical field to take care of people who are having medical issues. These people are not nice and uncaring.

I understand that this school provides a valuable service to those seeking further education, this…read morereview is less about the school's programs as a whole and more about how absolutely poorly the Pearson testing center is run here. I was scheduled for a certification exam on a Thursday night, one of their only two exam nights per week. I showed up well over an hour before my exam was scheduled and began studying a little bit more. I noticed that there was literally only one person in the front for the better part of the hour I was waiting. It wasn't until about 20 minutes before testing - 5 minutes before the people taking the exam where supposed to check in - that the rest of the test administration staff started rolling in. This is a bit of a red flag, as MOST places I have been to try to get there well before check in to make sure the computers we're testing on are working properly, and if there was an issue they would have time to try and fix it. This is not at all what happened. The exam I scheduled myself for was supposed to start at 6:00 pm. I wasn't told what was going on, aside from "Technical difficulties" until around 6:40 pm at which point the staff mentioned that their wifi in the room was down, and had been for a while and no one had done anything about it. Very shortly after this, the entire facility lost wifi, and the servers were not on site - a poor design choice in terms of a "quality" testing center I was assured by the staff that the director of the facility would "look into this first thing in the morning on Friday." Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and most of Monday came and went, and nothing from the testing center, or from Pearson VUE. So I showed up today 12/16/2019 to ask what the status was, and was givin a piece of paper with a phone number and case number to call. Only, they gave me the phone number THEY should use to call as it pertained ONLY to the testing center. My issue with this site is the gross negligence and incompetence of the testing staff in this unfortunate situation for myself and the other people who where essentially hosed on Thursday night, assured something would be done, and then, shockingly (HEAVY SARCASM) nothing happened. As of now I am out $400 for this exam, and am expected to handle this myself after their extreme lack of foresight and laziness in this situation. I will not be taking another exam here, nor would I suggest any one else do the same. The extra drive will be worth the avoidance of the headache caused by this site.

I stick and try to interact with the best and do my DD before taking a class. For the most part my professors have been 5/5 awesome and go above and beyond. The custodial are super chill and the aids are nice too. My main gripe is the Wi-Fi and data in the science building on the second floor is absolutely garbage. I strongly believe the school did that on purpose because mine (and so many others) have no service on that floor whatsoever. Go one floor above or below and it's good. We are not children and some of us are emergency contacts or have work so not having service is an issue. Especially since I tutor there and have been at all the open labs including club stuff. Also sometimes I have to turn my phone off and on to get service back which is crazy. That alone could be a reason for 0 stars but I do really like the staff and people here. They are nice and helpful. Also so beware the bookstore can be a hassle. There can be a lot of issues. It took me two semesters to get a printer but I got it after asking like 3-4x a week for a couple months. The coordination is not the best but if you push you will get the result you desire. There are many services available like DRC and EOPS available for students. Take advantage of you don't know my opinion is ask Chat gpt for all the info with links and it will give it to you in a easy to access format rather than dealing with the website. I would definitely recommend going here. For a CC it is quite lovely. They have so many things including a makerspace in the library!
