"Just a quick word about the staff. They were so helpful, courteous and professional. I felt like they were always concerned with me understanding everything before we moved on. Even though the course is on a time line, I never felt rushed and it was a great experience. I would recommend this school to everyone."

Alice V., Garden Grove, CA

"Great X-ray Technician Program - I opted for evening classes, which was a bonus. The enrollment and application process was simple and I was able to apply for financial aid through the school. The Career Center is really helpful and helped me out with signing up for the right exams and helped me with my resume and prepping for interviews."

"In the beginning of my MA/XT course, I spent countless of time studying - were very much confused and overwhelmed by the course materials - until our X-ray Instructor, Alina Kane, gave us her after class & private tutorings with her 9 yrs of Very Important Pointers - And now, I'm an A+ student very confidently studying and scoring towards my final and State board exams without any doubt or worry!!."

Tom Yeh  

"Small class sizes and help with financial aid was what initially drew me to this vocational / technical college. Overall a great experience, and I got cross-training as an X-ray Technician and Medical Assistant vs. just one, which gave me a leg up when applying to clinics after I took the State Exams. "
