Ms Tammy and the Gracemed team were a delight when I took part in their CNA program. Price was more than reasonable and I truly felt they set me up for success not only as a future CNA but in my newly found career path to becoming an RN. I also made lasting friendship with some of my class mates.

GraceMed was very good prep for my state exams. The teachers were very kind and taught everything thoroughly. I appreciate all they did for me as a fist step into the medical field!

I attended the weekend 8 week program late last year and have nothing but amazing things to say about this establishment. My instructors were amazing and I was more than capable to pass the exams when it was time!! I am certified now through the state and I couldn't thank Grace Med enough for all the effort they put into getting their students exam ready. I definitely recommend this program to anyone interested in continuing education in the medical field!

The program was developed to bring people who desires to work as a health care provider. And while studying to become a CNA I realized that all the teaching staff(Nurses who thought the course I could feel their passion for those patients who at some point in their life could not take care of themselves. These ladies really showed me their hearts for helping others and that’s what I wanted and desired to become and I will always keep that feeling in my heart and forefront as I move as a CNA.

Gracemed is a place that is not like any other. The teachers and stuff are incredibly supportive and nice; everything taught was straight forward and the material was easy to learn thanks to the teachers. The opportunity to learn hands on made the learning experience even more impactful. When it came time to take my skills and written exam, I was more than prepared with everything I needed to pass and prepare me for my future success. My time at Gracemed will always be unforgettable and was the perfect place to start my healthcare journey.
