Description
One of the first vocational colleges in California, North-West College provides professional skills training for some of today’s most rapidly growing healthcare careers. From the outset of each program North-West also emphasizes career development and preparation. Located in Riverside, California, North-West has additional campuses throughout Southern California.
Some of the programs available at the Riverside campus include:
*Dental Assisting
*Medical Assisting
*Massage Therapy
*Pharmacy Technology
*Vocational Nursing
From the first day of school, students are given career counseling to help them prepare for the job-search process. As students prepare to graduate, North-West will also arrange for student interviews with local hospitals, doctor’s offices, medical clinics, and dental facilities.
So that as many students as possible might have access to North-West’s programs, the enrollment policy is open to anyone with an interest in and commitment to a career in healthcare. Even those without a high school diploma may attend North-West.
Submission of an application, a tour of the school and an interview with a representative are required for prospective students.
Financial aid is disbursed through federal and private loans and federal grants. Determinations about financial aid eligibility are made once a student has completed a FAFSA and are based on one’s financial need and other factors. Tuition payment plans are also available.
