REVIEWS
What our students say
Verified rating on Google and real testimonials from our cohorts.
My four weeks of study at ICR was very informative, educational, and skill-oriented; I was the only person in the class who didn't speak Spanish, but my teacher, Maria Eugenia Prince, is bilingual. She is the best; I was able to comprehend all of her teachings. She ensured that she translated every word into English for me. I would recommend this school to everyone who wants to pursue a career in CNA or HHA. Maria Prince is the person.
The facilities of the academy are very nice, comfortable, and clean. I had the pleasure of receiving my program with the teacher María Eugenia, and it was a wonderful experience. She is a highly qualified teacher; her patience and commitment to the group make the classes very enjoyable. Without a doubt, she is a wonderful teacher ❤️
It was 4 weeks of much learning. Teacher María Eugenia Prince proved to be very professional, with experience and knowledge, in addition to having a great human quality.
The class with María Eugenia Prince was wonderful, a good experience, a magnificent teacher, patient, willing to help, clear in teaching. I felt very good; I am satisfied.
Very good institute, with great staff to help students enroll in their preferred programs. Very excellent teachers committed to the teaching and evaluation of all their students. I finished my CNA & HHA with the amazing professional teacher Maria Eugenia P.
