Listen now... The staffs, instructor's, hands down!! Amazing school and very understanding to ones, situation. They won't give up on one, trust me I know! No matter how many times I have done, fell, NCC is there to pick me up and push me forward.
The best school ever! Everyone is always loving, supportive, and encouraging. Shout out to Ms. Dona and Mr. Leo… they are the best.
I had the best experience at this school. I never was the type to like school, but this school is different. I looked forward to going to class every day! I recently passed my NHA exam in medical assisting and phlebotomy! I had the best teachers Ms. Keya Ms. Jen for medical assisting and Ms. Tiffany and Mr. Michael for phlebotomy! Location was on Smoke Ranch! Thank you to all the teachers that taught me so much!!!
Amanda Rodriguez thank you so much for getting the job done and in a pinch. You were fast and accommodating and I appreciate it.
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.
Graduated from NCC. Huge thanks to Miss Jen and Miss Hazel for all the support and help during my time there.
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 had great experience from the beginning touring with Chuck he was great energetic & very resourceful. Then I came to orientation met all of the instructors all were nice and I love that some of the instructors are alumni. Overall my experience even in class was fantastic
Tina Spencer where so many hats at NCC it’s crazy I don’t know how she does it Tina does her job extra well she definitely do her job going over and beyond she has helped me with my résumé and when I say this résumé is so professional it put my résumé to shame it would’ve took me hours to complete my résumé and she revamped it less than 30 minutes I know with this résumé I will definitely have a job soon Tina has been so supportive I remember for graduation any questions that I need to ask Tina was there for me when it came to graduation,career advisor, and much more Tina was there too accommodate and meet my needs joining NCC was the best thing I’ve ever done even though I graduated they’re still there for me. That’s the way family should be. I became a northwest career college family member January 7 and completed walk the stage May 2, the best move I’ve ever done and now I can successfully say I am a certified state state license phlebotomist thank you Tina and thank you Northwest Career College for changing my life
My experience here in financial Aid and admission was great. Scott Atkins is a great financial aid person he has a great attitude. ANd is a very caring person.
I had the absolute best experience enrolling here. Maria and Jamal have been super helpful whenever I have questions. Quintin was the one that got me enrolled and was super helpful and nice the whole time. My instructors: Ms. Marjorie, Ms.Nikki, And Ms.Sam have been absolutely wonderful and kind. Everyone in this school has been so lovely and would recommend coming here.
I graduated from the massage therapy program in 2008. Have moved out of state and back again, completed esthetics training at another school last year and continue expand my skills and grow my practice. I have northwest career college to thank for that

I would give this school 100 stars if I could. From enrollment, to financial aid, to orientation, to the instructors and everyone else I have come in contact with—the level of commitment, professionalism, and dedication these individuals show is absolutely mind-blowing in today’s world.

I highly recommend this school to anyone who wants to further their career or even start a new career. Thank you to everyone at Northwest Carter College you are all the real MVP’s

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.

Enrolled into dental assistant I’m loving it so far. NCC has been nothing but great. Excited for my new beginnings.
Northwest is such a great school with such great teachers and support. This is the best school to make a career. They offer so many resources and opportunities.
The school onboarding process was so simple and easy. The staff members have been absolutely amazing!! Everyone is so kind and uplifting. The classes are interactive and fun and so are the lessons. 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.
