HIHTS is an excellent school. The instructors are awesome and very thorough. The schedule is perfect for those of us that also have a job and families to take care of. I really appreciated how structured the CNA class was and how they hold you to a high standard in order to pass the class. The class was not to big which was great and allows for more personal interaction with instructors. I had a great time and learned so much. I would highly recommend taking this class if you are looking into getting started in the medical field. They also offer other types of classes such as Phlebotomy, Medical Billing and Coding, ect… Check it out, you won’t be disappointed. Thank you to all my awesome instructors Shirley, Shirnel, and Julia. You guys are the best!!!

I recently had the distinct privilege of completing the Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) program at HIHTS, and I am compelled to extol the virtues of this superlative course. The program stands as a paragon of educational excellence, meticulously designed to cultivate both theoretical acumen and practical proficiency.

Rigorous and Comprehensive Curriculum:
The curriculum epitomizes thoroughness and intellectual rigor, encompassing an expansive array of topics essential for the proficient practice of a CNA. It seamlessly integrates foundational knowledge in patient care, anatomy, and physiology with advanced procedural training and sophisticated patient interaction techniques. This holistic pedagogical approach ensures that students are impeccably prepared for the multifaceted challenges inherent in the healthcare profession.

Distinguished Faculty:
The instructors are the linchpin of this program’s unparalleled success. Their extensive real-world experience and profound theoretical knowledge are complemented by an unwavering dedication to pedagogical excellence. Their didactic methodologies are both engaging and intellectually stimulating, fostering an environment where critical thinking and practical application are paramount. The instructors’ accessibility and commitment to providing personalized feedback significantly augmented my educational experience.

Immersive and Rigorous Hands-On Training:
A cornerstone of the program is its robust hands-on training component. The simulated laboratory environment offers a meticulously controlled setting in which to hone clinical skills prior to transitioning to clinical rotations. This immersive experience is invaluable, instilling both confidence and competence in performing essential CNA duties within a real-world healthcare context.

Collaborative and Supportive Academic Atmosphere:
The program cultivates a collaborative and supportive academic atmosphere, engendering a profound sense of camaraderie among students. This esprit de corps not only enriched the learning experience but also facilitated a supportive network that was instrumental in navigating the program’s rigorous demands. The palpable sense of community and shared purpose significantly enhanced the overall educational journey.

Concluding Reflections:
I unequivocally recommend the CNA program at HIHTS to any aspiring healthcare professional. The program’s rigorous curriculum, distinguished faculty, immersive training, and supportive environment collectively constitute an unparalleled educational experience. This program not only imparted the requisite skills and knowledge but also imbued me with a profound sense of compassion, dedication, and professional integrity.

I extend my deepest gratitude to HIHTS for providing an educational experience that transcends the ordinary and sets a benchmark for excellence in CNA education.

I graduated from HIHTS 2023 and I have to say it was the best experience ever, Shirley and Shirlene were extremely informative and made me feel like I was back in catholic school again, Shirley was not letting us out without having the full knowledge and more of what we should have. The facility also was conducive to learning as well she was very serious about our education and I really appreciated that because I'm older and I didn't have time to play although we did have some fun as well. I highly recommend HIHTS for someone that wants to get a good learning experience with excellent knowledgeable no nonsense teachers.
Thank you Shirley and Shirlene.
Love you guys.

It’s a perfect school to go to if you want to start getting into medical aspects of work. I actually studied at this place before when I took my first certification in CNA. It was great then and I’m glad up until now, the high standards of teachings is still implemented. I actually like the fact that the class is small, it gives you confidence to interact with everyone and get to know each other well. For me, it’s important that way you’re able to ask help to improve each one of you and build each others confidence. I love my instructor, Aunty Uwi, the best, and my classmates. She will help you in any way she can, all you have to do is ask. We all struggles in our class but we all made it in the end😊. It was never a competition but instead, we supported each other not only our weaknesses but in our success as well. I personally love to encourage my classmates always when I feel they needed it. They also offer other classes such as Phlebotomy, Administration, Medical Billing & Coding, etc.. The times and days are flexible especially to those who has jobs or kids to take care of. And if I can do it, anybody can too and with this school, they will get you to where you want to be in your chosen career. The school tuition is reasonable and helps you make payments over time before classes ends. So don’t wait too long, no more procrastinating, give HIHTS a call and you won’t regret you did, I didn’t…😉 Aunty Shirley and Shernil are the best mother and daughter duo to help you be successful in medical field jobs. HIHTS is in it for your success!!!…💪👌❤️

The instructors at HIHTS were fantastic and prepared me well to become a CNA! They taught me so well that there were no surprises on the exam. I learned the skills I needed to know to pass and do my job safely and correctly. I highly recommend them to anyone who wants to get their CNA license!

I finished Phlebotomist & Medical administrative assistant here at HIHTS.
It takes dedication & self discipline to attend the class & learning, studying the course you chose. It may be hard at first but at the end it’s all worth it 😊.
