I was not sure what to expect with many apprehensions of returning to school after 20+ years staying home, raising my children. SJVC has an excellent MA program, with caring instructors who are there to guide you and assist you any way they can. The curriculum is easy to follow and the hands on labs are amazing. The administration department and dean also makes themselves available with any assistance needed. I have felt I had a full support group at SJVC. I would highly recommend SJVC.

Currently in the DA program and its really good. The teachers/professors really try to help you succeed. Would recommend not working if you can due to this being accelerated learning.

I am only in my third module for MA but I can honestly say I’m learning a lot! MRS.VALDEZ is by far the best teacher I have ever had including grade school. She’s so interactive and thorough with her teaching! I wish I could have her for the remainder of the school year! The work is a little heavy but you have to remember they are putting 2 years of learning into 9 months. If you out the work in, you’ll be successful

Two different programs, two degrees, the staff and instructors were great i really enjoyed my time with the school

I just got a question, does this college have PA(physician assistant) program?

I had previously been accepted to a university, having experience payment issues (that school was wicked expensive) I found SJVC, they help me make a smooth transition from the other school to there and my time there was amazing. Meeting different people from different programs and other people who just didnt want the traditional school experience. I went for my certificate MOA program (took 7 months of class time and 2 months of externship time). Loved my teacher and classmates and learning was easy and I understood all the lessons. I even got on the deans list after getting my certificate. My career counselor even helped me find my full time job. Have nothing but good to say about this school and mostly my teacher.

SJVC is a good school to go to if you want to study as a medical assistant in a short time. They have great hands-on learning program that helps you learn and they give you time to work with teachers in order for you to be able to learn and work on your skills and get better.

An amazing institutionWent here as a student from Feb 2019 until graduation Oct 2019. I was enrolled in the front office medical admin program. 7 months and upon graduation, I passed and got nationally certified for billing/coding. My teacher Ms.Hernandez was amazing, caring and knowledgeable. The school and its staff went above and beyond for me (I was unemployed at the time) and now I am employed and have actual hope for my future. It taught me a variety of skills that applied in many jobs for medical assistants. The bad? It wont teach you everything. It wont get you a Masters Degree and a six figure job. But thats not the point of this trade School. Its a start, a path to better prospects. Its made good on that so far =)

Their school is an amazing place if you’re looking to get out into the real world faster than you would a normal 4 years college.

Took the 10 month HVAC course , it was kind of a bummer that 3 of those months were spent doing online work due to COVID but what can you do. The teacher Jason Reynolds is what made my review a 5, even after the course is completed he still makes himself available for his students no matter what time of day it is. Career Services was also a big plus as they helped me find employment right away . If your looking for a career change I would say go for it, you won’t have trouble finding employment as career services takes care of everything .

I would definitely recommend SJVC! I took the Pharmacy Technology program and and I can truly say that the instructors there are great and really in it to help prepare you for the field. I was in class for 7 modules and 120 hours at a local Walgreens. Took my state exam and Passed! Very appreciative with the staff that helped me!

Graduated from MOA program. Ms. Hernandez was one of the greatest teacher at SJVC, she was always there to help everyone. Faculty associate was great. They will always respond to your concerns in a very timely manner. Learned a lot from this college.

For profit school. Useless education for student debt. Better off going to community college if you are unsure of what you want to study. Expect to be over 10 grand in debt with little to show for going to this school.

Great assistance with teaching, scheduling of classes for the program youre taking, financial aid, career placement. They have themed days like Hawaiian or patriotic days, wonderful teachers and staff who are always willing to help you find answers to your questions. As long as you do your part, SJVC staff will do whatever they can to help you succeed. I know that Life can get in the way, but as long as you have the goal to finish what you need to finish, youll do great!

There is a lady on this campus named Nancy that handles the prerequisite courses and every time I call she is so bubbly and happy to take my questions. You could see her smile through the phone ! I just enjoy her energy. I have been doing several calls this week to different campuses and they all seem bothered or annoyed to be receiving calls and their tone is so dry, but not with Nancy !

I absolutely love it here at SJVC . The teachers and staff are amazing . Friendly and trust me they have the experience to help you get where you want to be . Very open to questions or concerns you may have . Even if you feel you not college ready , councilors will help you every step of they way to success.

Love it here. The staff are super friendly. I just hope one day you guys could open a RN program or Respiratory Therapy program on the Fresno campus.

I enjoyed school while I was here getting my MA! Its fast and its fun! The teachers and everyone there are super helpful!!

It’s been almost 2 years since I graduated and I have yet to get info on how to take my ma certificate test. I moved out of town so keep calling to see when I can go take my test or what I need to do and no one has called me back. They don’t care for the graduates only getting more ppl to sign up. Would not recommend

Greatest choice I’ve made so far! This college experience was amazing!!!! #Classof2020 #MedicalOffice

Im enrolled into the Business Administration program. Its best to know how determined you are about what career you plan on getting into for the fact that you have to give it your all to fully grasp what the courses have to offer. Discipline, determination, and confidence are what is needed to be a successful student.

Unlike most students say their experience was great I’m not one of them. Last few weeks of my training my teacher got let go by a student who didn’t know what they were talking about, leaving me and my other classmates hanging without no one to help us with our certification, except one lady who claims she’ll do anything she can to help but her actions speak for herself, to this day I’m struggling with my certification, also so unprofessional, for a lot more reasons. If I would of known how sjvc was I would of gone to another school that was worth paying for. Instead of listening to one student, think about what’s best for other students, not all of them can agree with what the student had to say.

Ended up pregnant during my externship. Head dental lady didnt let me go on maternity leave. Ended up getting terminated now 18,000 in debt.

Going back again 2016 for Recertication. Graduated 1998 campus was safe and had hands on knowledge , fast paced ! I loved it than, aspire to gain some added skills for more employment opportunities. I love working with people and have a awesome bed side manner and love helping others who are sick or injured. See you soon SJVC

Wow. Didn’t even get to the initial orientation. Lady got mad and stopped replying because I asked questions about the google reviews. Guess what everyone is saying about this school is true. Here’s an idea SJVC, how about fixing some of your worst complaints from people that have paid the $17,000 for your school so you won’t have to worry about it

Amazing school would recommend to everyone to come here.

I am currently an SJVC Fresno Medical Assistant student and I am really liking it here. I am in my second year and it is going by so fast. The teachers are amazing and very helpful and unlike any other college I am actually learning and dont feel invisible. I would highly recommend this school to anyone if you are planning on furthering your education.

Im almost done with school and Ms. Rey gives you all the info to be able to pass your classes and the NCCT Test.

This school is a place where you get to learn how to do things that youll experience in the real field of medical assistanting, medical office assistant, dental assistant,etc. I lost track of how many moduels(classes) i had left till i got to my second to last class. Im proud of myself getting a great education in the medical field that i got from great instructors.

I love sjvc! I have one mod left and Im so excited. The teachers are so helpful & welcoming. & the campus is always clean and kept up. I recommend everyone come here!

Would not recommend the Vet Tech Program.The head of the program, Ms. Perez, is a cold, unhelpful, intimidating, woman with a tenderness comparable to wet cardboard. Ms. Newman, one of the teachers, is a shrill, unreliable, unfriendly woman who desires to drum you out. Shes done working at noon and beyond recommending getting help from others is relatively useless. Strict regime policies are used to enforce their methods and beyond that it is ultimately an experience I would not recommend.They are The Best In the Central Valley mostly because there is no competition and by default are the best.The program itself gets 2 stars, BUT I added an additional star because (despite its staff flaws) you are provided with: a rolling backpack, all of your books, a few beginners medical tools, and they will also help you with the required testing to join the work force.Beyond the vet tech program, the actual heros of the SJVC are those beyond the classroom. The counselors, the financial aid office, the front desk, the president, the head of students. I wish I could provide a separate review for them, but the school staff are the most helpful, compassionate, dedicated people youll meet ever meet.★★★★★The rest of the school gets an outstanding 5 stars, going to the school and finding a program you love will be worth the experience.

To attend SJVC is one of the best decisions that I could of made the hands on experience, the staff, and the teachers are amazing they make the environment around us so comfortable and welcoming.

So far iv been having a great experience an I highly recommend

Attending the Criminal Justice program, it is a great program. The Instructors are always willing to help.

SJVC...a win win! Must keep this short as I clock Into my JOB n an hour. 😁

Im currently in my last module at SJVC for Clinical & Administrative Medical Assisting. My experience here has been great. The instructors are nice and knowledge and do all they can to help you succeed.

Horrible school. Do not waste your money. Go to city college then fresno state. Take the long way its better.

Attending SJVC is the most fun Ive ever had in school. The instructors are great, the classes go by fast, and Im learning so much! The whole staff is so helpful and are warm and welcoming to all of the students. Im glad when I made the decision to go to school for Medical Assisting, I chose SJVC. :-)

As hard as life gets, take the time to attend a REAL college. Where you won’t be stuck with over $20k in student loans and FAFSA will actually benefit YOU. If you try to transfer to state or city, your credits from SJVC are worthless. Your GPA from SJVC means NOTHING. Sure you can transfer to other money hungry universities like National university. I’m at Clovis Community College college now, where none of my units were transferable and my GPA meant nothing. I had no idea that I am almost all tapped out in FAFSA Pell grants because of how many units we had to complete with SJVC. They will NEVER tell you these things. Sure it might be in the “fine print”. It’s to their benefit not to bring it up though. I got a job at a filthy clinic that was over the top disgusting and super rude to their patients just because they were on medical. SJVC has it coming to them, and I can’t wait to be a part of that lawsuit. $30,000 for tuition and materials??? How in the heck is that!??? They take advantage of vulnerable people like single mothers and low income families. Their office staff changes more often than the seasons. “Schools” and “businesses” like this should be held accountable. $30k for an MA job that pays $15/hr?. Boy was I stupid! The 1 ⭐️ was for the wonderful instructors I had. They were great people!

I am a current student in the Medical Assistant program and it was the BEST decision I have ever made. I was not doing well at all in junior college and dropped out then came to SJVC fresno and got back on the right track. I have excellent grades and attendance and EVERYONE is always willing to help you out! You will never feel alone. Great atmosphere of people!

I am currently going into my 8th Mod at Fresno Campus SJVC and I can honestly say I love it! The instructors are experienced, understanding and nice. I wish I wouldve enrolled a long time ago! Time is going by so fast and Im actually going to be sad to graduate this fall. Thank you to all the staff, instructors and students for an awesome experience!

MA Program: Great school to get in and out quick. With that being said, youll always be busy, theres alot to get done. Every staff member is super helpful and kind. They are super understanding and will get you where you need to be. YOU GET OUT WHAT YOU PUT IN! If you are always on time and on top of your work, you will be prepared when it comes to your career. Others might say they dont help, but thats because of their academic record at school. Id highly recommend this school to other people.

Started getting harassing call 10 days after I was done with school saying to pay them in full or my account goes to collections. Long storyshort, all I can say the person who said that I had the option of paying when I was done with school give me wrong information and now Im stuck with a high past due balance for not knowing I had to pay it while I was in school.

I am on my third module and it is going FANTASTIC! the teachers are sweet and VERY attentive!

Great times! Teachers are awesome! You wont regret being here :)

Very good experience loved it

Incompetent and unprofessional dean didnt even announce 85% of the valedictorians for the class of 2019 unprepared and because or that i had a moment i was looking forward to sharing with my family stripped from me . . . Thanks for destroying a dream ive had since i lost all since or hope and finally decided to prove myself . . .

Amazing, supportive teaching staff for the veterinary technician program! Amazing experience:) coming back to school has changed my life:)

I love going to school here the instructors are always professional and helpful. I have truly enjoyed this experience.

This school is awesome,my future will be so much better thank-you to all sjvc staff and teachers for always having my back.

I am currently attending SJVC and I love it. Its the best I went to Community College and I wasnt going anywhere anytime soon. Sjvc makes sure you get the classes u need to get your degree and get on with your life. They even know places that will babysit while your in class. The teacher are the best. All my teachers in the criminal justice classes have more than 20 years experience in the field or is still working. They are up to date on everything that is going on. The real great thing is the classes are 5 weeks but you only go Monday through Thursday thats only 20 times in that claas. I love it. Plus everyone at the school is nice. They all have one goal. Get out and start their career. You can walk up to anyone and just start talking. Come to the school and find out for your self. This will be the best decision of your life.

I am about to enter my 3rd module and all i can say is wow the time is flying by so fast.. My experience here thus far has been rewarding. The staff is very helpful and the teachers are amazing. I never thought id learn so much in such a short time.SJVC as all i expected and more. I will be sure to recommend SJVC to everyone i know who is thinking of attending college. I am looking forward to the rest of my time here.

This is such a great school. I highly reccommend people to come here to start their careers

SJVC Fresno is the best thing Ive done and they all are a friendly staff and would do it again if I could. They have alot of fundraisers and good programs to be involved in...

Im in my last module and a month from recieving my degree for medical assistant. My experience at sjvc fresno was great. I really enjoyed the instructors and the staff here really try to help you succeed. :)

The best decision i made was joining sjvc it is an awesome school and the instructors are amazing
