I have to give 4 for I have not graduated yet. So far since completing my first half as a medical assistant I have enjoyed it. I think the teachers here genuinely care about their students. Mrs Judy, is very funny and caring towards others. She’s hard on people but genuinely wants them to do their best. Mrs A is sweet and really laid back and gives plenty of time to help others and make sure people are up to date on assignments. These are the two teachers I’ve had so far and I wanna write more about my experiences after graduating to give a more in depth prospective. I’m only writing this now since Nick the advisor asked me to. The advisor's really are genuine and nice people. Mrs T is super nice and will try to do anything for others. So far it’s nice and I enjoy my time and I feel as though I’m getting properly prepared to go into the field that I want to be in…..Alright so after graduation I can say this program is really nice. They teach you a lot of stuff that is useful to know when working on the field. I think paying attention is really important and making sure you ask as many questions as possible is good too. Mrs V the program director for the medical assistant course is very nice and motherly. The other course teachers I had were also super sweet and helpful. Mrs A, Mrs C and Mrs judy were almost very genuine and nice. They know so much about their fields and you should try to get to know all of them. They all worked in different offices at different times and have a lot of experience. We also would do fun things on holidays here. They would have food out for different occasions, the summer we had BBQs And made fun paintings. Just overall having fun and enjoying our time along side studying. This place does really care but you also have to really care about them too. If you don’t respect the times they have and are late and don’t care about grades it’s going to be really difficult to talk nicely about you in a career sense. They have an advisor that works there Mrs Shannon who is super nice and motherly, they will help you. But you need to take steps to help yourself and do your best. ❤️ hope you succeed from my class to...

I just finished my Massage Therapy program here. From start to finish, the sign up process was so easy and the staff helped me out in every way imaginable. They answered all my questions before I decided to enroll and when I enrolled with Theresa she communicated with me everyday helping me every step along the way. She helped me configure my childcare and transportation (I had my own) but for those that may not have it. We discussed loans and grants and all the technical things as well to help me save money. She gave me the reassurance I needed and I found her guidance took a lot of the stress I had away, and that’s important to me being a parent & already dealing with alot at home. They have solutions for everything. The class size for my program was small and the learning consisted of class work and hands on. My teachers (Mrs.Jessica) were/are extremely knowledgeable in the field and are also constantly updated on new skills and material. They also offered CPR Cert on the premises and Mblex study time to prepare us for state licensure. They gave me everything I needed to succeed and I can now say I am a licensed professional in the field. I would 100% recommend this school for Massage Therapy and any of the other courses they offer as well. This school made me feel like I was part of a family during my time there. Mr. Roger’s, the Campus President & Director of Education was always on site at the school and would greet us warmly in class everyday, he always would send us positive emails every week to keep us inspired as well as planning fun school themed activities every month that we could all participate in. They are exceptional and I will truly miss my time spent there and hope everyone that attends has the opportunity to have the same experience I did.

Hi, this is Joseph Caracappa and I would like to share my experience with the Amazing Admissions Department at the Toms River Campus! What an Incredible Experience! I am an older student and a part time student who is thusly a transfer student from the Somerset Campus to the Tom’s River Campus. My Transfer went very smoothly as Nick was and still is my primary contact person. Working with Nick was everything anyone could possibly hope for and more! I had been away from school for quite awhile and had recently gone through something traumatic and Nick was caring, empathetic, kind, professional and supportive. He got me smoothly back on track. From there I got meet or should I say be reintroduced to the Amazing and Powerful Theresa! I say reintroduced as upon seeing Her I realized that I had met her up on the Somerset Campus several years prior. She also had the same realization. Working further with Theresa brought out so much in me! I had a hard time coming back to school due to Anxiety and She knew exactly what to do to help me, especially to help me feel safe! Talk about a Woman who is Strong, Kind, Confident, Compassionate, Empathetic, Professional, Supportive, Giving and Non-Judgmental, well I’m talking about Theresa! When one deals with Theresa one deals with a consummate professional and a metaphorical big hug at the same time! Last but not least, Mr. Rogers. Here is a man who is kind, and giving yet extremely professional! He is an awesome example of what it means to be President! He does His job extremely well, yet He is approachable, how often does...
