5/7/25 'BIG DEAL' [My Feedback] I cared about the 'knowledge' I gained more than anything. A Tip on Timing: Before I get into my feedback, just Be Prepared to Start the Online Portion 'the Day You Get Access'. Pick the date wisely. 2 days scheduled for each Module or you will fall so far behind, you will have to start over. It is fast-paced. Minimum 2-3 hours a day. They will send you the expected start and finish date for each module. Order the Yellow Hartman Book before the course access begin-date to get a head start. Skim through it and then sign up for the course. A lot of what is in the book is covered in the online content, but the book has more information that you will need to answer the questions. The online content has more real-life perspective. The 3-day Skills Labs are for the in person demonstration of the skills. As far as the 'Knowledge part' is concerned, one should come prepared from online study and the yellow Hartman book prior to Skills Labs. 'About The Instructors and The Course' What stood out about the NA course at the Utah Training Centers (a total discovery for me) is: 1. Linda! Now that I have taken the course Skills Labs, Linda! What an incredible person, what a great example, so unusual, never heard of, never seen, never heard of. The grit, the resilience, the mental strength to do what she continues to do despite her challenges that appeared out of nowhere. Most would take that limitation and disappear. Linda is the only one, one of only few, perhaps, ONLY ONE I KNOW, that remained strong enough to adapt and continue her passion for Nursing Education. Not just that, with a sense of humor and her demonstrated ability to work as if it is no big deal. It is a VERY BIG DEAL! I liked the focus on getting this done, fast! Cheryl in their office is EXTREMELY helpful in doing her best to make sure you have what you need. Cat works alongside Linda. She is the one teaching in the videos, alongside others. Very thorough and very responsive. 2. The curriculum was very detailed, STRUCTURED, and easy to follow. The videos, the written content, the Hartman book), just the right summary of the most essential knowledge and skills we ALL need, and may need at some point in our life. I believe this should be taught in early years of life, no matter what . It REALLY opens one's eyes to phases of human life we remain blind to till we are 'caught in them' or the repercussions of them. 3.The in-person labs had plenty of students, all age groups. 4. This training is a good way to get onto a path, take it where one wants to take it. I wrote this as I discovered how good thawed frozen apples taste. A REFRESHING treat. One of the most delicious foods, even for those who may not like apples! Big Deal - Is Linda the 'L' in the Big Deal? read more

loved this program. The instructors were engaging and professional and the program was well organized and fun. Best option for busy people and best guide for state exam read more

The experience was professional and complete. Our lab instructor, Linda, was utterly fantastic. She made understanding what to expect very logical and simple. If you want to become a CNA, Utah CNA is the course to use. read more

Awesome flexibility for busy school schedule. Required course and cert for RN program. Great training and not overlong days in a classroom vs a semester in a traditional program. 3 skills days and 2 clinical days all the school stuff is online and done in a month or less. read more

I took and evening class (which lasted over the period of 4 weeks) and we had 5 different teachers over the course. And each teachers taught a different way of doing the skills!! It was so frustrating! I liked a couple of the teachers, but most of the teachers were a little older and seemed to not be caught up on the newest procedures and policies on how to do things. It seemed like the class structure wasn't very good. First off, I think the class sizes were too big. I think it should've been smaller so the teacher could help everyone with the skills individually. There were only two mannequins and 14 of us, so most of our skills time was spent sitting around watching others practice their skills. My biggest problem was with the administration. Every time I needed help (which seemed to be frequent because of the poor system and constant problems with the website/financing system), they seemed irritated that I called. They were very rushed, rude, and insincere. I feel like I should be treated with more respect considering how much money I paid for the course! And I think it is really unfair that we had to make up class time because they couldn't find a teacher to teach our class one night. That wasn't my fault, it was because of their lack of organization. And they didn't even offer to make it up to us with an additional discount for the CPR class or something like that. Overall, I was very frustrated with my experience here. read more

To begin, the class size was too large to accommodate all the students. This made it hard for the instructor to oversee all of our practices and frustrating for us as students when learning to take vital signs because it was too loud. There were also limited resources. Two beds for thirty students was nowhere near enough. Furthermore, they did not reflect a true healthcare facility like the site advertised on the website. There were no curtains between the beds, creating a very unrealistic environment. The resources were not adequate either--they were outdated and falling apart. When learning how to take blood pressure, it is often hard to tell if you are getting an accurate reading. The sight only supplied only one double stethoscope, an easily obtainable and relatively inexpensive learning material. It was impossible for us all to crowd around one bed at the same time to have the instructor explain the routine and demonstrate the skills. The professionalism of the course was severely lacking. Both the substitute teacher and the teachers aid lacked professionalism on the highest levels. This included but was not limited to: talking unprofessionally about other staff, telling inappropriate stories, interrupting the lesson continuously, excessively using technology for personal reasons, abruptly leaving the class unattended and unoccupied, and engaging in illegal activities. Both of these people told the class incorrect procedures and taught skills incorrectly. While the issue was ultimately "taken care of", it still had an impact on our education and affected our class negatively. Of the minimal supplies provided in our tuition costs, the workbook was not helpful. We were told that they were "trying it out on our class" and that the previous one was much more useful. It was obvious there was no revisions done because the questions were repetitive and contained many incorrect answers. The answer key was not any better and you could tell it was a job handed off to a random person to fill in. It was neither legible or correct most of the time. Some aspects also contained irrelevant information, such as the "gun control" question. The lessons were taught on a television screen that was not intended for teaching purposes. The print was so small that nobody was able to read what was on it, especially the people in the back of the classroom. We had to rely completely on the instructor's explanation. During class, the office called our instructor and informed her that there would be no instructor available for one of our clinical sites. This is unacceptable and clearly highlights one of the many flaws of the program. Many people choose this company because it promised that you would get done in two weeks. Students in the class took off work especially for this training and others will be out of town the week following the class. There is no reason that a clinical should be cancelled because of poor scheduling by staff. The only reason that the class was able to have clinical times was because Victoria insisted that we get the instructor from another location. Upon arrival to clinicals, the facility we went to seemed completely unaware and not ready for us. Clinical time was wasted on trying to find mentors for us to follow, a preparation that should have been completed in advance. In summary, the cost of tuition and advertisement from the site was in no way reflected in the class. The resources and materials were almost all unavailable or absent altogether. I would never recommend this course to anyone. read more

I had a really poor experience here. I've worked as a Scrub Tech in the OR for a few years and there were quite a few things the instructor said that were completely untrue. She did not seem qualified to be a teacher and all we did for 50/64 class hours was watch horrible videos on Alzheimer's. I attended the Orem class and am also annoyed that our clinicals were in Salt Lake when the Murray class had their clinicals in Provo. I would strongly recommend finding a better program to get your CNA through. read more
