"I was satisfied. I learned a lot. I wish the program could have been stretched out a little longer, so the class didn't feel so hurried."
Ratings are on a 1-10 scale
| Characteristic | Rating | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Would Recommend? | yes | I learned a lot, and with a small class, it's easier to get one-on-one teaching and help from the teacher and classmates. The class also had plenty of real-life experiences, which is really important. |
| Program Reputation | 6 | They constantly have CNA training. I have not heard anything particularly bad or anything particularly spectacular about the program. |
| Program Quality | 7 | The program was ok. I think the training should be more in depth. |
| Instruction | 9 | The amount I learned in a short timeframe was great. Everything that I thought should be taught was taught. |
| How Difficult | 4 | A lot of the teaching was about compassion and common sense. There wasn't a lot of technical info to remember. |
| Hands-On vs. Bookish | Most of the learning came from hands-on experiences. The class was at a nursing home, so we got to learn from the book and then practice what we learned. | |
| Schedule Flexibility | 4 | They only offered classes during the day. You could miss only a certain amount of days and still graduate. |
| Academic Facilities | 7 | There were no academic resources, like a library. The classes were held at a nursing home facility, and we had a lot of real-world experiences. We also had access to experienced CNAs and nurses. |
| Social Life | 7 | Everyone got along and was friendly. The class was small and we helped each other out. |
| Placement Services | 9 | Everyone in my class was able to find a job. The help from our teachers placed everyone in a job after graduation. |
| Alumni Network | 5 | I didn't hear of any alumni support. The teachers were caring and helped with job placement. |
