Hear From Real Students Who Were Where You Are Now!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "I am so proud of myself for challenging the board. I was so nervous to do it but CPC gave me the confidence. Class was great. I felt really prepared for the exam when I took it. And I passed the first time!!!" – Mason Madrid     ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "The CNA TO LVN Program changed my life. I learned so much in class and it gave me the opportunity to go to school that I could not afford at a regular LVN school. I had to really push to get my pediatrics hours but I got it done. I seen some of these other reviews saying people did not know about that requirement. But that is crazy. The requirements for experience are all explained in writing when you enrolled. So if you don’t know the requirements read your paperwork." – Mister Matty     ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "I am so happy that I decided to attend California Preparatory College, It was a very wonderful experience and the staff are soooooooooooooooooooo amazing.

I would recommend it to anyone." – Rachael D     ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Good staff, they really worry about the students by texting, email, calling. I really appreciate you guys, may God grant you a special blessing." – Elmita     ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "As a single mother, there is nothing better than being able to take my classes online and be offered help throughout the entire process. The classes are great, the professors are great and very explanatory, the finance department is wonderful and I have no complaints about the entire situation. My diploma is in my hand and I’m so thankful for this opportunity. God always opens the right doors and this door was open for me, and I pray it’s open for anyone else who sees this as fitting for their life as well." – Kylie W
