Ratings are on a 1-10 scale
| Characteristic | Rating | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Would Recommend? | yes | You learn exactly what you need to perform. It's all hands on which makes things way more real for when you actually work. |
| Program Reputation | 10 | SWACC's nursing program is the best one in the area. Most CNA's out of high school receive their certificate through SWACC because it's an awesome program. |
| Program Quality | 10 | They taught me exactly what I needed to know to perform my job well. My school also always kept a positive attitude during the whole program and stuck beside me through everything. |
| Instruction | 10 | I learned everything I needed to perform my job the proper way. SWACC is a very reliable school. |
| How Difficult | 5 | SWACC teachers made us work hard but kept us motivated. We were pushed in a great way to keep our productivity up. |
| Hands-On vs. Bookish | Everything was hands on which brought us more knowledge. Hands on work is more worthwhile to learn about something then just reading a book. | |
| Schedule Flexibility | 5 | Showing up and being on time was very important at SWACC, it was like our job except we were only required 3 to 4 hours a day. |
| Academic Facilities | 10 | They had many good places to study and learn. There was always availability anywhere in SWACC, not just the libraries or open rooms. |
| Social Life | 10 | There was always an activity going on. Everyone had school spirit, and showed it. I was very involved with all the activities. |
| Placement Services | 5 | I wasn't placed in a job after receiving my certificate. It was my goal to use my own skills to get myself a job and right after graduating and I was placed in a job within two weeks. |
| Alumni Network | 10 | The network and support I had was unbelievable. I was always being cheered on and appreciated and it kept me working hard and keeping up. |
