The staff is really helpful, and friendly. Everything is accessible from the locations to even the necessary info online. I personally would want to make a shout-out to my professor Ms. Stephanie Stevens in the BAA program. She is so encouraging and caring for her students, as well as helpful and insightful. I am really grateful to be in her class, and I am looking forward to continue in her classes in the future.
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 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.

Beyond the classroom, the campus community is vibrant, with numerous clubs, events, and support services that fostered both my personal and professional growth.

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.
⭐ 1 Star - Disappointing Externship Placement and Career Services
Up until the externship, my experience at NCC was great. The instructors are passionate, knowledgeable, and genuinely care about teaching. I truly learned a lot and felt proud to be part of the program.
Unfortunately, the externship experience was the complete opposite. The school prides itself on helping students with placement, but it is clear they do not properly evaluate or monitor the sites. I was placed in a facility where there was no opportunity to apply the skills I learned, no vitals, no patient interaction, and no real medical training. The staff were not trained to guide or teach, and most of my time was spent doing mindless tasks or simply sitting idle.
When I raised my concerns, instead of addressing the issue, career services categorized it as a personal reason. It is disappointing that they cannot tell the difference between a student’s personal issue and a poor site placement. I first asked if I could do another part-time externship to gain more experience and was told no. I then volunteered to find my own site but was told no again because of policy. Policies are meant to ensure accountability, but the school should also know when to be flexible and work with students when the placement clearly is not serving its educational purpose.
To make matters worse, I was told I would still receive an F for trying to seek a more appropriate learning environment. That response was discouraging and unprofessional, especially after investing time, money, and effort into this program.
The externship should have been the highlight of my experience, not the most disappointing part. NCC has incredible instructors who genuinely care, but the career services department needs serious improvement in communication, flexibility, and accountability.

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!
Everything from the staff to the teachers was amazing! They definitely make you feel welcomed , they are amazing at making you feel like you can accomplish anything. Everyone is here to help you and see you succeed. I graduated This year from their MBC program and now I'm continuing my education with my associates in healthcare administration. I highly recommend NCC, from the moment you step foot through those doors your life will change.

Northwest Career College is truly a five-star school! From the moment I enrolled, I felt like part of a family — everyone here is kind, supportive, and always ready to help you succeed. The environment is welcoming, and you can tell the staff genuinely cares about each student’s success. I especially want to recognize Ms. Ruiz, who is by far the best instructor I’ve ever had. She’s knowledgeable, patient, and truly dedicated to helping her students learn and grow. Thanks to her and the amazing team at Northwest Career College, I feel confident and prepared for my future career!
My experience with Northwest Career College is very promising. I’ve entered into the Legal/Paralegal program, with my first day being this past Tuesday. My Instructor, Cris Maher, is knowledgeable and professional. Ms Rita, has been very informative also. I look forward to the 18 month challenge I’ve embarked on.
My experience at NCC has been nothing short of amazing. The enrollment process was smooth and stress-free, thanks to the helpful and welcoming enrollment staff. My first class was with Mr. Leo, whose inviting nature made me look forward to attending each week. I also appreciate how NCC makes it easy to connect with staff and access support through the personal app—it’s truly convenient and student-friendly. I’m looking forward to earning my Paralegal degree with NCC and am genuinely excited for what the future holds here.
I have not even started yet, and my experience has been the best ever. As a person who has been to school multiple times, this has been the best experience I have had. Starting with me calling to get info about the school to then being set up on a virtual tour and meet with Isaiah. He was awesome and gave me all the details about the program. Set me up with financial aid with Ms.
Donella Stanard. With this being the first time on campus, my meeting with her was amazing. She was professional, gave me all the information I need and assisted me with so much. She was so loving and so fun to talk to. Laughter would not stop. We hugged along with a one of my family members who was with me. We did not want to leave. The best financial aid appointment I ever had. Isaiah than gave a tour of the campus. Beautiful. Everything is so well organized from staff, to classes. I am very excited to start due to the staff and team alone. School meets all my needs, and I know this will be an amazing experience.

Great school. All people are very helpful and want you to succeed and reach all your goals. I am an alumni . Graduated from medical assistant / phlebotomy tech last year. I am furthering my education with my Healthcare administration degree.
I went to henderson location last year. Very nice, and easy to get to. Safe location. Had no issues.
Im currently attending the main campus location. Also very nice. Safe and easy to access. Plenty of parking.
There are several locations to choose from. Dont let doubt stop you. Stop by and talk to someone and start your dream/ goals here.

I've had nothing but good experiences here at NCC. Everyone is so kind, understanding and accepting. My teachers are patient. Front staff is always happy to help. They reply fast as a whip as well which I really love. Amazing school. 🙂
I absolutely love North West Career College! This is my second time returning, and that alone shows how much I value the culture here. The staff and instructors go above and beyond, making you feel supported, encouraged, and motivated every step of the way. The atmosphere is welcoming, professional, and truly feels like family. My experience has exceeded every expectation, and I’m proud to give North West Career College a five-star review for the impact it has had on both my education and my career goals.
Shout out to Angelin! She has created a welcoming environment before I enrolled at NCC! I love the transparency of the school, knowing how many graduates and people who worked after completing the program. (Which was an astounding 100%) She has made the enrolling process a lot smoother and stress free, replying to messages and calls ASAP, answering questions with patience and kindness, as well as guiding me through the forms that needed to be completed. She wasnt in a rush to get me in to "meet quotas" unlike some trade schools in the city, but instead gave me the choice to enroll in my own time and give me the ability to change my program even after two weeks of instruction. This school is highly flexible and WILL support you throughout any adversity that you might face before enrollment and after.
For me, NCC is the best college in Nevada. I've had my best moments at this institution. The professors are excellent people and, above all, dedicated to your improvement. I'm Latina, and although my English has improved a lot, I feel it's still not perfect. They take their time to help me and explain everything step by step. They give me the encouragement and strength I need to keep going. So, Latinas, if you want to study and excel and be someone tomorrow, don't hesitate for a second. NCC is the best place. Don't think twice, just go for it. I assure you, you won't regret it. 🥰
I can’t believe it’s only been a month into the program—time is flying! The teachers make the classes so fun, relaxed, and welcoming. Yes, they throw a lot at you, but they’re right there to support you every step of the way. And it’s not just the instructors—faculty members from all over the department are ready to help and cheer you on. I’m really excited to see what the next five months have in store!
NCC is an amazing college. The staff is friendly. They make you feel at home. They have confidence in you no matter where you stand with yourself. They have definitely given me the confidence to keep going. I would recommend them to any and everybody I know.
When it came down to looking for a good school for Medical Billing & Coding. I wanted something that would work perfectly with my schedule & personal life. A school not far away from my home and the tuition amount was great! Enrollment was easy and I've been given so much information about the school and program that head started hurting. 😅 Now enrolled and the staff have been so helpful and useful with any questions I have. & everyone is just nice :).
I've been going to the Sahara location for 3 months for pharmacy technician. Everyone has been so helpful and my instructors have been amazing. I've learned so much and am excited for the rest of my terms to learn even more. Getting started was very easy and they even help out with bus passes every term which has been a big help.
I would definitely recommend NCC to those looking into getting back into school.

Overall, my instructors and classmates all have been amazing and very helpful and supportive.
I have learned many things at this college, and enjoyed the fellowship of my classmates and instructors.

Northwest is an excellent institution that truly supports its students. The school offers resources to help students succeed, and the staff is always willing to lend a hand. I'm particularly grateful to have had the opportunity to learn from my instructor, Ms. Marjorie, who is not only knowledgeable in her field but also incredibly supportive and dedicated to her students' success.
At Northwest Career College, you feel like family. The entire staff is the best. The instructors listen and help students with any questions or problems, anytime, and in any language. I love them, and that's why I recommend them to all my friends. This has been the best choice I've ever made. Studying at NCCOLLEGE is the best!
Amanda Johnson has been an incredible and supportive teacher for my brother. She has impacted his life and helped him move forward, guiding him on the pathway to his career. My brother and I appreciate her patience in being genuine and always asking questions if he needed any additional information. She is absolutely amazing, and I recommend her to anyone who is going to this school!!
Hugo and I had a meeting earlier this year to assess the school. Although I didn't finalize my decision, his enthusiasm and guidance ultimately led me to enroll as a new student at NCC. I appreciate your patience and for ensuring a positive experience throughout this process! They truly make you feel special!
Listen now... The staff, instructors, hands down!! Amazing school and very understanding of one's situation. They won't give up on one, trust me I know! No matter how often I have fallen, NCC is there to pick me up and push me forward.
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!!!
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 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.
Honestly, I was someone who didn’t like school, but they have made me want to show up and show out! The excitement as soon as you walk into the building is so inviting. 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😐
