I was one of the first students to attend this school in January of 2022. My instructor, Alicia, was great at preparing me to pass the state exam on the first try. The class is very organized and easy to complete within 5 weeks. The people running the CNA school were very helpful and responsive as well. Going here also allowed me to find a job opportunities as well, so I definitely recommend it!Posted on Yelp

Great school! Jeremy was an amazing teacher! He made sure everyone knew the course content and genuinely wanted us to pass our exams. I felt prepared for my exams because of his teaching. We could ask him questions without being judged. He cared about everyone in our class and still checks up on us to see how we’re doing. I would definitely recommend taking your course at this school with Jeremy!Posted on Google

I can truly say that I did learn a lot during my time here, and it helped having an instructor who was very energetic and passionate about what she was teaching. The size of the class was about 10 students, which allowed us to get close with another and help speed up our learning process.

He is a great instructor, and he is very easy going and very relatable. Jeremy definitely created a bond with us that felt like he was our friend, which I found to be really nice. Jeremy is great at what he does and I was able to learn so much from the little time I had to do this course! I felt confident in the classroom, as well as during clinicals.

Alice Perez28 August 2023I loved this program ! I had it with Julie and the experience was one of a kind (: It is a lot of content but studying with others and repetitive hands on practice made it all easier ! This program had mannequins, real CNA equipment for practice and helpful “how-to” videos. Julie is a very thorough instructor and made sure we were all good on our tasks, most specifically for the state tested skills. Everyone in my class passed our final first try and are currently studying for the state exam (: Definitely recommend!Posted on Yelp
Ashley M.16 December 2022First of all shout out to the instructor Jeremy! He is an awesome teacher, laid back, and is very encouraging. I passed my cna exam on the first try and even though I passed in august, I am still able to send him a text asking for advice and tips on jobs and he is happy to help! 5 starts for him as an instructor and mentor. As for the class itself, I was in the 2nd cohort so everything was still new. Resources and study material was limited, but they took our feedback and I am hoping they improved. all in all this 4 week class was quick and easy and I would recommend it to anyone who is looking to get their license quickly. 3 1/2 starts for the actual class and resources from the owners for the convenience of getting certified quickly and getting an instant job where I did clinicals.Posted on Yelpnat b.28 August 2023This is a really great program! Julie was very engaging and made sure that our class got the most out of our experience and that we were as prepared as possible for the state exam.

Lavanya Narendiran18 May 2024Bay Area CNA school helped prepare me thoroughly for the role of a CNA, mostly due to the efforts of my instructor Jeremy. He worked hard to make sure that we were well-prepared for our clinicals and state exam, giving us helpful tips that helped us understand the material and apply it in real-world situations. In addition, he helped secure a top-notch clinical facility which also helped teach us invaluable lessons and provide hands-on experience. Because of Jeremy, I would not hesitate to recommend this CNA program to anyone looking to prepare themselves to become a CNA.Posted on Yelp
Alex D.7 October 2025TL;DR: I have nothing bad to say about Bay Area CNA School. It's exactly what a good trade school should be: Brief, inexpensive, and effective at teaching a marketable skill. ------------------------------------------------------------------- I attended Bay Area CNA School's daytime class 8/28/2025 through 9/24/2025, passed the written exam on 9/30, and passed the skills exam on 10/6. So in just a month-and-a-half, I went from First Day of School to Certified Nursing Assistant. The classroom coursework is focused entirely on the relevant skills and knowledge of the CNA field. No extraneous or irrelevant courses. The 12 days spent in clinicals at an actual Assisted Living Center give excellent hands-on experience at doing the actual job of CNAing, so the student can learn the nuances of the trade that simply cannot be taught in a classroom setting. Instructor Mary was flat-out superb! In the classroom, her lectures were always focused and easily understandable, and she led us through repeated skills practices so the skills could gel in our minds. In clinics, Mary was an encouraging presence who knew how to give students believable reassurance after the occasional-but-inevitable rookie errors. So I have nothing bad to say. Bay Area CNA School, and Mary in particular, a heartfelt THANK YOU!!Posted on Google
DG2 June 2026Thank you Bay Area CNA school. So happy I completed my program with you and your amazing staff. Loved the PM classes…. worked great with managing home life and work.

Eric Dykes26 October 2025If you are considering doing a CNA program, you will not regret doing it here. This place was solid and perfect. I had a great cohort, but the best thing was our instructor, Mary. She really cared about the profession and having a firm grasp of the knowledge and skills you need to be a great CNA. And she taught really well. She also cared deeply about the ethics of working in this field and taught us so much about caring well for patients. She was also there with us every step of the way through our clinical hours; always there if we needed help or had questions. Honestly, I would take more certification courses if she taught them. Bay Area CNA School provided everything we needed, including books, notes, scrubs, and all supplies. It felt very professional and high quality. Our clinical hours were so fun and I had a great experience at the facility we were at. I had a blast, honestly. So glad I learned to be a CNA here. Thanks!Posted on Google

Daniela L.8 November 2022I took the CNA course in September and was fortunate to have Jeremy as an instructor. He really is the best at what he does, and I cannot state that enough. He's fun, approachable, humorous, and amazingly patient. There is never a dull moment in Jeremy's classroom, but more importantly is that he genuinely wants all his students to pass the state exam and excel in healthcare. He will teach you everything you need to know in order to pass the exam...and we all passed!! The school relocated to Dublin off Amador Valley Blvd. The classroom is clean/spacious and the administrators are friendly. The star of the show is of course Jeremy. I hope he continues teaching and imparting wisdom for years to come.Posted on Google

My instructor Nurse Eva was an incredible teacher and taught us everything we needed to know and more. She set us up for success and I would recommend anyone to take the weekend program.

Our clinical site was also a great experience. The facility was nice and I truly enjoyed working with the residents. One area that could be improved is the lecture materials. All the slides appeared to use AI generated pictures that were quite inaccurate. In healthcare education (especially when learning anatomy) I feel that it's important to have visuals that are accurate. I believe that switching those images would make the program much better. Overall though, I had a positive experience and would recommend the program but improving the accuracy of lecture visuals would make it better!Posted on Google

hunter halter1 November 2023I just finished up the program a couple weeks ago and I will definitely say that Bay Area CNA Is 100% worth your time and money! I not only learned so much but also had a fun time while doing it. In my opinion, this program was perfect for me because it was a small class. This left room for one on one interactions with the teacher and gaining relationships with your classmates that helped a lot through the course. Julie, my instructor, was awesome! She teaches the material in a very understanding way and is quick to answer any questions. Definitely recommend. Thank you Bay Area CNA!!Posted on Google
Richard Nkwate28 January 2023Talk about dedication, that's what you get from the instructor Mr. Jeremy. He kept the classes precise, educative, and fun. His lectures and practice methods left us quite prepared even for newbies in the field like me, so much so that both the written and practical phases of the exam felt second natured. And the proof is in the pudding, EVERYONE of us in the batch PASSED. I remain grateful and definitely recommend it to anyone willing, to give Bay Area CNA School a chance and you won't regret It.Posted on Google

Mandy C.24 October 2025I had an amazing experience with Bay Area CNA School. Signing up for the class was a breeze, and Marie, the manager, was helpful with answering any of the questions I have prior. The class was only 4.5 weeks long. It started out slow, but then it went by in a blank of an eye! I was so glad I had Mary as my instructor, because she was amazing! Not only did she covered all the information and skills we needed to learn and know, but through clinical, she modeled what a great example of what a passionate and caring CNA should be. She was on the floor with us most of the times, and she was always a text away to come help us if needed. We did 8 days of classroom theory learning and then 12 days of clinical at a long term care facility. The 12 days was enough to let us to be hands-on and practice in real life, and really use what we learn during theory. A helpful tip I have is to make sure you be proactive during clinical, so you get the most out of it! Your patients and CNAs would appreciate it too. By the end of the program, I felt super prepared for the state exam as well. Highly recommend this program!Posted on Google
Savannah Thedorff30 April 2023I had a wonderful experience at the Bay Area CNA School. I was in the weekday class with Jeremy and he was amazing!

Alyssa D.20 November 2022First off, I wanted to note I am a former student who passed the course & state exams. Now onto my experience. I was fortunate to be part of the weekday class with my instructor Jeremy. I've done other accelerated certification programs and I will say he is easily one of the best instructors I've ever had. He was extremely thorough, prepared us well for the state exams, and ensured we were safe during our clinicals. He genuinely is an advocate for his students even after graduating from his class. The way he teaches not only over prepares you for the state exams but it prepares you for what you will experience in real life. His priority is to ensure he sends out CNA's who will be an asset to any facility/hospital they go to. As for the school, they provide you with resources and assistance with job placements. They were nothing but supportive. Do I recommend attending this school? ABSOLUTELY.Posted on Yelp
Myron J.30 January 2026Bay Area CNA School.... to say the least..... has been life changing for me... I was originally slated to begin a 1 Year $40k Sacramento Area LVN Program, but decided on a CNA Program after my friend's wife successfully graduated. The school is overall very affordable and they accept installment plans as well. No need to take out loans I'll regret later. The Program Director Ashish.. is very flexible. On one occasion I got sick for a few days and on another I had to fly out of state for a funeral and he made arrangements for me to make up my clinicals at other hospitals during the week. My instructor; Ms. Beth, was like a friend, sister, and Mother to me and very patient. I would text her in the evenings with school book questions and she'd promptly respond that evening versus waiting till the next school day. I have ADHD and a lot of my questions may come off as dumb or redundant, but she never made me feel any less. This is a career change for me and the best part was... before school even ended, she told me the hospital we were doing our clinical rotations at would hire me.... and that's exactly what happened. They offered me a job before I even graduated! I'll be also taking my AED, BLS, & CPR Certifications there as well. You can't go wrong here!

Jeremy the instructor was willing to go above and beyond to help us with anything and all we needed to understand and succeed in the class n achieve our license. Overall awesome experience!!Posted on YelpKaren S.26 November 2025My instructor, Julie, is top notch! She did her best to prepare all her students not only for Credentia testing and certification, but also practical skills that we will need out in the real world working as CNAs. The school provides a textbook, a pair of scrubs, and some personal equipment so you can practice skills at home. Both theory and clinical portions of the program flew by because it was fast paced and fun. The administrative staff is also wonderful and accommodating, scheduling a make up clinical session for me as I had missed a day due to illness. If you're thinking about taking a quick course for CNA certification, Bay Area CNA school is the one for you!Posted on Google

I also loved the other students in my cohort and Jeremy created an environment where we encouraged one another and studied together. Even after the program ending, he's made sure to keep in contact with us and reminds us to study for the state exams - which I've passed and officially have my certificate now! I highly recommend this program!Posted on Google

Skyler Gabriel Soriano26 September 2023Just finished CNA school here a few days ago, I had Julie's weekday AM class. It's more affordable and well-organized compared to most schools around the Bay Area. There are great walking-distance food options for lunch like Sprouts, the Habit, and Pizza My Heart. The clinical sites are known to be upscale around this area. We had clinical at Creekview Health Center, in Pleasanton. I highly recommend taking classes with Julie as she's focused on making sure her students are successful. Initially, I thought the pacing was rather slow, but we always covered everything and had all of our questions answered by the end of class. I never felt rushed or stressed. Just know that the more you put into this course, the more you will learn... So ask questions even if the answers may seem obvious.Posted on YelpErika C.19 November 2022I just passed my CNA exam and I couldn't have done it without my instructor Jeremy. He is very straightforward and real with you, and cares about his students. He'll remind you to practice every week lol. He definitely boosts up your self confidence if you want to pursue something more than being a CNA. I enjoyed the class and my classmates were very helpful and supportive. I recommend this class to anyone who wants to be a CNA, full time student is the one Jeremy is teaching :)Posted on Google
