★★★★★ A Truly Transformative Educational Experience

My time at NCC College was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment I stepped onto campus, I felt supported and challenged in equal measure. The faculty aren't just professors; they are industry experts and dedicated mentors who are genuinely invested in student success. The curriculum is perfectly balanced between rigorous academic theory and practical, real-world application, which made me feel incredibly prepared for my career. Beyond the classroom, the campus community is vibrant, with numerous clubs, events, and support services that fostered both my personal and professional growth. Choosing NCC College was one of the best decisions I've ever made. I am graduating not just with a degree, but with the confidence and skills to thrive.

I want to give a big shoutout to Andres, Scott, Tim, and Emerald for helping me return to school. As always, they delivered an exceptional experience. They even made me the first student to enroll in the new IT Technician Associate’s Degree Program, which truly made me feel heard and supported. The entire process was smooth and seamless. I’ll always recommend Northwest Career College to anyone looking to start or come back to school.

Professor Stephanie Stevens has been the best instructor. She ensures to mention the things you did RIGHT even if there are things you did WRONG. She always gives credit where credit is due and to me that makes a great professor!

My experience at Northwest Career College has been wonderful. I'm currently taking Phlebotomy in the evening, and my instructor, Mr. Michael B., is truly great. He is very patient with us students and always does his best to make sure we understand each module.

( I had to remove my last paragraph)
I needed to edit my review and add this: One thing I’ve learned from working in the medical field is to never compare your situation to someone else’s. You never know what a student or a patient may be going through.

My experience at NCC had been absolutely amazing! I submitted and online request for information on a program and was contacted the next day! I spoke with someone who answered all my questions and made me feel secure in my decision to go back to school! The instructors have been very helpful and have made it clear they truly care for me and my education! I was a bit anxious about returning to school as an adult but everyone at NCC has helped but my anxiety at ease!
