American Career College

I started ACC in January and gave medical billing a shot. I was nervous and scared all at the same time. And when I started my instructor Ms. Bacon, yes her name is Bacon lol like bacon and eggs. Ms. Bacon made me feel like I was Home and so welcomed. The energy she gave us was just amazing, I wanted to learn and see what else she was gonna teach us. As time went on I was very shocked with everything that I learned and actually remembered. I am glad I decided to go back to school. Her approach on teaching is great and I’m greatful for everything that I learned and to have a teacher like her. I’m now expanding the knowledge I have and I’m ready to take more steps into my future.

In order for some one to comment so good about acc they must have low standers and you should go back to acc and ask to be teach how to read and comprehen what are you are reading since this is not a problem with the DA program. the issue is with the MA Program before you make a comment on the reviews it will be a great idea to read them first you are one of the first class the acc had and acc makes changes on the programs and teachers all the time i really belive that acc should be audit by the education board and acc should really check the teachers background of the «teachers» that they hired.

You get out what you put in. If you’re not there putting in 150% every single day and after graduation into your chosen career field, you can’t expect anything more out of what you put in. That’s as real as it gets. Staff is great and supportive. I was in the first graduating DA class, never missed a day, and was always eager to learn with an open mind. Ask questions, there is no such thing as a dumb question. Study hard, do your homework. It’s as simple as that. Be in class every day, it’s impossible to make up an absence. You lose lecture and lab hours that is virtually impossible to make up as well. In the end, you get what you give. ACC does not guarantee employment, what they do offer is their support and resources. It’s completely up to you to take advantage of it. They’re not going to hold your hand throughout the process. You’re an adult, act like one. All that you’ve learned and have been taught are the basics into your chosen field, you must be open minded and willing to learn because the real learning starts in the field, after graduation. They gave you a glass of water, it’s up to you to drink it. In fact, you paid a hefty amount for that glass of water, why not make use of it.
These negative comments are the ones who didn’t show up everyday or didn’t put in 150% or both. If you’re serious about a career change then I recommend ACC 150%. Did great for me, I believe they’d do awesome for you as well. If you’re lost and unsure, don’t waste your time. Go figure your life out first. Cheers!

No way can a review do my experience justice but I want to share with those who may be skeptical about ACC. Especially the Optical department. It may not «stand out» in a world medical/​dental assisting but it is truly exciting and fascinating. My instructor Ms. Johnson was a wise and amazingIy down to earth lady w so much knowledge! The field is so complex and fun. I love the combination of science with fashion and social aspects! (Friendly people will succeed in optics)
I started the program less than a year ago and now I am employed full time, I just got interviewed for an even better position. Whether I get that job or not, I will say that I owe it all to one person in particular and that is my career service specialist Leslie Martinez who went out of her way to get me the many opportunities! ACC is a distinguished tech school provides training and unique experiences.

Not much help finding another office after I got a job that cut everyone’s hours after a week.

Best school ever very helpful and helped me graduate!!! Mrs garcia and Conrad are the best! And Jessica and Mayra! Love them all to pieces!!!

Everything is good (from admission, SRC, program director, to instructors) until Career Services, that’s when everything goes down hill. Due to my schedule, the site that I’ve been placed it’s ok. Anyone in the Medical Program please be aware that the SRC does nothing for you. Ever since Hemi left students are not getting hired off the extern site, or are placed at extern sites that are mediocre. Currently the site coordinator does not follow through with returning calls, emails, & posting externship attendance hours on time. I’m not very happy with the outcome that I’m experiencing. Don’t get me wrong, the instructors (especially Mr. Arviso) are phenomenal, 5 stars for him. However, ACC, as a whole is getting 3 stars from my part; at the end of the day they just worry about every seat as $.

At first when I sign up for the Medical Assistant program I was scared because I didn’t know how it was going to be. my first day at ACC was awesome. I felt comfortable a bit shy but my instructor Miss. Clark made me feel like I made the best choice by choosing ACC as my school. I learned a lot of important information from front office to lab & injections & venipuncture blood draws & bandaging & all of the Medical Assistants duties & the procedures we get to do at a clinic. I learned many more stuff but my favorite part of the program is the Lab because it’s all hands on. Miss. Clark is one of the best instructors I’ve ever had!
When I finished all my required courses at ACC I went to Externship where I go to a clinic & put to work all the things I learned at ACC…& thank God I got hired at my externship site & now I am working at a Women’s Clinic as a Medical Assistant. So I highly recommend this school to anybody out there wanting to be a Medical Assistant, everyone that works there at ACC was really nice & helpful. If I could go back and do it all over again. I would!!!

Thank you American Career College! Special thanks to Mitzie Garcia, Mrs. Nancy Parra, Ms. Grace Ann Clark, Hemelin Padilla, Mayra Arzate and Chris in admission for making my experience one to remember! It saddens me that I have to move forward as I’m now at externship. If I could do it all over again I would! They have given me the support and motivation I need to get through my medical assistant program. They gave me a sense of belonging. Not once was I put down.
The love and support given to me has motivated me to the point where I maintained a 4.0 GPA. They also give students an opportunity to be an example to each other and select a number of students as Student Ambassador role. Student Ambassadors are those who give back to peers as a support system. It was a great pleasure to take on such a role on this campus as it was important to me to give back to my peers as it my nature to lend a helping hand. It was a great experience that I was also able to connect with many other students in different fields of which included massage therapy, dental, billing and coding, and optical techs. I love ACC!

I started going to acc in July 2013
I signed up for the optical dispensing program.
I was really excited to start my career since I had just finished high school.
My instructor was Mrs. Martinez
She was the best teacher.
I received a lot of help, I learned so much in 7 months. It went by so fast that when I noticed it was already time for externship. Acc really changed my life, I am now employed. Thanks to the hard work of Lesli Martinez, which is in charge of the optical dispensing externship. She keeps you updated & really try’s to give you what you ask for. I recommend acc it’s a very good school, everyone try’s to help you the best that they can. I’m really thankful to have meet so many awesome people there.
Thank you acc for changing my life. I know have my future set.
