I was there when covid started, but, even pre covid there was little to NO instruction. We were given a book and told to work online and complete the assignments each week. I expected this but I was hoping the 3 hours spent in class once a week would be review, lecture anything helpful. It ended up being maybe 20 minutes of the teacher reading a paper we all had in front of us and then 2.5 hours of talking to one another and passing time or self study in a classroom instead of home. We were shown simple clinical things but never in depth and honestly, explained VERY poorly and most of us learned more through YouTube. Save your money. If you are looking for a totally online self taught course, this is it but, expect to waste your time in a classroom each week with no instruction.

Do not waste your 1000+ dollars here for the Phlebotomy program. You will not get hired anywhere…read morebecause they do not have an externship at a hospital or unless you have prior medical experience or a degree behind you!!!! This was basically a self-learn class where you study at home then come to class to poke other students with needles then leave with bruised arms and hands. We used EXPIRED NEEDLES and EVACUATED TEST TUBES 99% of the time! Students were also in a classroom WITHOUT A SINK TO WASH YOUR HANDS! Hand sanitizer was everyone's best friend. They don't even have a restroom for students in their side of the building so all the students had to walk across the building to use it. We also were not allowed to keep practicing sticks past a cutoff date in our program because they would run out of supplies for the next phlebotomy class this year! They use McGraw Hill textbooks/online homework. Basically, everything was open note so you will definitely not fail this class even if you tried to flunk it. The text book will also contradict NHA standards and guidelines so you will be left confused about almost everything right before you test for your cert. You will also get your certification through the NHA website but you have to pay 120 dollars for the certification test out of pocket because it wasn't included in your tuition as well. I started my program at the VB location at the beginning of March through mid-April of this year 2019 and I have been turned down from all plasma/blood donation centers, hospitals, even at dialysis centers. GO TO TCC its legit with an externship, do not mind the price if you want a job! The only reason why I went here was because of the price of the course. It was significantly cheaper than others and you definitely can tell how cheap it was. YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR!!! Don't make the same mistake as me! Get your deposit back before class starts.

The location was not hard to find once you found the building number and suite letter and it's right there when you walk in. The instructor did an amazing job introducing and refreshing effective methods of CPR and alternative methods with different scenarios and with us working together as a group and learning from one another being a team player to a real life situation. And she did a good job of going in to detail and demonstrate very well. And the class is 4 hours long but it goes by fast and you definitely learn and do a lot of hands on each set up the way which I love so you can watch and lean and be able retain what your viewing and retain the information as you go along. And she guided you through it all and also like how she gave us scenarios to give us ideas how we handle certain situations and environments while giving aid. I will definitely come back to get my certification done here again and will recommend others who want to get certified.

That was the only reason...more than 6 1/2 hours from where we are in Jersey was just too far. We actually came down to campus last spring for her spring track conference championships.

There seemed to be a lot to do around the campus and off campus, a bunch of great places to eat, and it seemed like a pretty safe area. I don't know about their academic offerings, but CNU has an amazingly strong athletic program and the teams seem to solidly support each other. Pretty good deal for in-state tuition too.

DISCLAIMER - this is based on my personal experience:…read more Five stars for ABUSE and duplicity. Zero stars for caring for children, honesty, integrity, accountability. My 2 year old child knows the fear and havoc of ABUSE (physical and emotional) from this school and 'teachers'. My 2 year old (two!!) has NIGHTMARES about this place and the ABUSE she suffered at the hands of the staff here in May of 2019. The abuse was covered up and denied (it is a family-run business). My child detailed to me being hit, thrown, yelled at and threatened. The details were consistent, credible and enduring (over weeks and now months) and matched by the sudden onset of symptoms of PTSD (night terrors, screaming, heightened emotional states, moodiness, extra clingy, uncharacteristic outbursts, etc). Specifically, she did not want to participate in the 'graduation dance' practice and was trying to stay quietly hidden. My child has explained how the lead teacher snatched her arm, pulled her so hard she fell, while yelling at her, hit her across the chest and torso, then when my child was crying and screaming for her to stop, the teacher picked her up over her head and threw her, like a medicine ball, down on a wood-framed bench, she then told my child to repeat again and again that my child had tripped and fallen all on their own. I confronted the staff and the perpetrator's husband (also a teacher there) provided additional confirming details, unsolicited, to me. The owner (and mother in law of the perpetrator) told me that this was 'just family'. As I told her then, this is absolutely not how you treat family - or anyone, especially children. I thought that would be obvious. I ache for the children who are still there and am deeply concerned for their welfare. Please, please, please do not submit your children to this. These folks act one way in front of adults and parents and another when it's just children. I am ashamed and embarrassed we ever had our children in this place and were unaware of this sad and abysmal conduct for so long. We had other children there (over years) and after this incident asked I them if they had ever been abused or seen abuse. Thank God, both older kids had not been personally abused but both confirmed they had witnessed other incidents with other kids who had been hit, abused and threatened. A police and child protective services report was made and investigations conducted but the family-staff denied any wrong doing. Did I mention that this is a family business - so ethics and money are deeply intertwined here (if they could be said to have any ethics). Sadly, my two year old was not able to be a witness due to age, and this facility does not have video cameras - now I know why. It was left at a 'he said-she said' case...but in this case one of those people is a 2 year old child who has no motives other than to return and reflect love. The initial review was taken down due to 'lack of detail', I suspect after the business complained about the bad review (in fact a member of their family threatened me using this service!). I hope this suffices by providing more detail. I recommend you do not go here. I hope police shut this place down. But until then, you can do it by not giving them your business. Ever. Again, I disclaim that this is my personal opinion and experience with this business. I encourage you to make up your own mind, with the safety of your children foremost.
