I have never been the school girl type....and I have never felt very confident or comfortable in a classroom setting. However, once I started with Northwest Career College, that all changed. It became like my second family. I loved my teacher, my classmates, and the administration that works there. Everyone is always so happy. I love it.

I had an amazing Swedish massage with Eric G and I can’t recommend him enough! He was professional, attentive, and made sure I felt completely comfortable throughout the session. His touch was the perfect balance of relaxing and therapeutic — I walked away feeling refreshed, lighter, and completely at ease. If you’re looking for someone who truly knows how to help you unwind and melt away stress, Eric is your guy. Can’t wait for my next session!

I would like to express my sincere gratitude for the Paralegal Studies program at NCC, from which I recently graduated. My time in the program was truly exceptional.
I am especially appreciative of the support, assistance, and knowledge provided by Ms. Marina, Ms. Dona, and Mr. Bernie. Their efforts created an atmosphere where every question was valued and thoughtfully addressed.
They are the heart of what makes the paralegal studies program exceptional.

I'm in the DAA program and its so much more fun than I ever would have thought. If you are thinking about joining this school, I would highly recommend it!!

Graduated from MAP last year. So far so good, I had a pretty good experience in school. I wish the radiology program actually wanted MAP students like they say. Most MAP students would work 9-5 and they don’t have any sort of night classes so it’s just a contradiction. They really don’t want MAP students😐

I am Currently enrolled in the legal program and i couldn't be more happy the teachers are very professional. One of the standout aspects of the program is its exceptional faculty. The professors are not only academically distinguished but also approachable and invested in their students’ success. Many of them bring a wealth of practical experience, which enhances the learning experience by bridging the gap between theory and real-world application. The diverse range of courses, including specialized electives has allowed me to tailor my education to my interests and career goals. Another strength of the program is its extensive network of alumni and professional connections. The program’s career services office also played a pivotal role in which were instrumental in building my resume. Thank you all NCC faculty for you are helping me build my life for success as i am excited to start next year already. HAPPY HOLIDAYS AND A HAPPY NEW.

Nevada career institute has been the best decision I have made. You get the best people to help you and the best teacher to introduce you to the medical field and start you off strong. Mrs. Jennifer has done just that. She is very detailed with her lessons and strives for you to gain the best understanding of the topics. Her way of teaching makes it fun to learn and retain so much information. Thank you Mrs. Jennifer for your time and support through my journey. Just as well as Jon who was my recruiter and continues to help me through my journey.
