Before attending this program I doubted myself a lot with my passion and wanting to work in the medical field. Ms. Glenda contacted me ASAP and began to ask me my dreams and aspirations. She genuinely cared. The Stone Mountain location is beautiful on the inside and has a homey touch to it. Ms. Glenda is very professional with a motherly spirit. She will make sure you learn your information while also throwing life lessons into the mix as well. Always do your best and put forth full effort. She is a very understanding person but also is about her business and holds everyone accountable for their actions. While taking this course & learning the skills I have it has given me the confidence and foundation that I will need for a lifetime. I’ve gained new knowledge, new friends, and a mentor. I can honestly say that my money was well spent. Thank you Hillindale. Stone mountains FIRST ALUMNI😊😊😊😊

I loved my experience here at Hillendell Medical Training. Miss Addie was an excellent teacher. Miss Glenda and Tori both are amazing as well. Definitely 5 star recommended for individuals looking to enter the healthcare field. The course was fast paced but the school itself ran smoothly and effectively to learn the information in a month.

Review β„–17

My experience at Hillendell Medical School was very pleasant. Who could ever complain about a 4 week training for a job that helps others, pays above minimum wage, and gets your foot into the medical field? I recommend this to my neighbors family, and I recommend it to everyone who reads this as well. It is a pleasant experience because you get to work with a group of other dedicated individuals and you get to experience their growth in a short amount of time. I live over one hour from Hillendell and each car ride was very pleasant because I just listened to a podcast or Christian music along the way, I considered it healing time for myself. It was a nice car ride, and worth the hour spent, especially to get to the location. Once I was there, the staff and other trainees were so thoughtful and kind. We ended up exchanging numbers, that’s how you can tell it was an amazing experience. Well worth it.

I loved everyone here, especially miss Pam and miss Glenda. They really taught me things that I thought I wouldn’t have. Especially with miss Glenda’s speech about working with others and miss Pam’s precautions. If you are planning to go here, or want to, or already here, I want you to cherish this whole time here because it will go by FAST, and I mean FAST. Make lots of friends, talk to your teachers, all of that. You will love it, I recommend it a lot.

Review β„–72

Mrs. Glenda is an awesome instructor . Before even getting into the course, Mrs. Glenda’s facilities (Lawrenceville & Stonemountain) both are amazing places to take a cna in. Its a friendly, clean, fun place to learn. I’ve taken classes at both of her locations. She is very skilled instructor, efficient with everything she does, carries herself with dignity, honesty, and just all around greatness. Coming into this class I was preparing for the worst, but Mrs. Glenda made sure she took her time to really break down each lesson, skill, homework, and etc to make sure we understood. I am truly thankful for Mrs. Glenda, she is an amazing person. She is very dedicated and good at what she does. She does things such as groups, provide fun activities and way much more to show her appreciation to students but she also sets her students up for success, which is something that really stuck out to me. She goes above and beyond making sure she stays on us about the class, quizzing us and preparing us for the medical field . I just want to say if anybody is looking to become a CNA, Hillendell Medical Training Center is by far the best CNA training I’ve every took. I will forever appreciate Mrs.Glenda and all the blood, seat and tears she has put into helping me and my other classmates become successful.
