It’s very good class every one it’s nice Special the teacher and Nyah she’s very helpful🥰
The school is very good. The instructor Miss Zteel is one in a millón teacher. Instructional materials are very nice and that's make learning very simple. And nyah is good!
The school was good as well as the instructor were great. I had a great experience. The school needs to provide parking for students and clinical site was not the best to send students. They also need to fix the heat in the classroom.
Awesome school I would highly recommend to every person who wants to be CNA to attend Carebridge academy the instructor Ms. Teel is the best teacher she’s very hands on and really helps you understand the material.
Nyah was very flexible with payments & Ms. Teal was an EXCELLANT instructor! I would advise anyone to attend this academy…
I had a great learning experience with Nurse Teel. She was very knowledgeable and I enjoyed every second of the program. Also, before joining the program Nyah helped me with any question I had, she was very informative. The school director Mr. Shay was always helpful, generous and made sure we had what we needed to succeed. The best team of people I’ve ever come across. I’m glad I chose to learn the in’s and out’s of becoming a CNA through Carebridge Academy! I recommend this program 100% to anyone. :)
Great school, love the experience and how professional they are. Ms Teel is an excellent teacher and I really learned a lot about being an NA. You don't just learn from the book but also it's hands-on which I love. Also Ms. Liza was a wonderful clinical instructor. I would highly recommend this school to anyone who wants to become an NA.
I had a great Experience. The Instructor Miss teal and Martinez were great at their jobs in training us
