Central Sierra Regional Occupational Program

The ROP medical assistant program was in content excellent but a total waste of 9 months an close to 3000.00 with books and scubs and course cost. IT IS NOT ACCREDITED program and so even tho you can sit for the exam it is NOT recognize by many medical institutions and medical offices. Plus the externship is so inadequate and useless for qualifying you for a future job in the medical field since you need months and up to 2 years relevant experience and working as a receptionist at a chiropractor's office doesn't cut it.

The instructor was not certified as a teacher tho she was a nurse but she was very un professional with dealing with students especially older students who were trying to retrain in a new field, she had no respect for them. She befriend the younger students, allow cheating and gave preference to some students who didn't have to do drug cards or homework but other did. This was a complete waste of time, I would have been better to go to Kaplan or Heald for the program they have a better externship program and aid with job placement. This program useless unless you are the teachers favorite, not necessarily the best student or even a good student, I was straight A student and this teacher gave preference to the students who were 20 something and had behavior issues and not good students. This was a disappointment and I would not recommend it for the older student great for a teenager who needs credits for HS. Recommendation invest in the more expensive programs that have an accreditation and you can take skills out of state with this course is not respected in the medical industry which is so unfortunate, its content and the structure and the amount of material presented and learned was EXCELLENT just not useful for a job. TOO BAD!!!
