I enjoyed everything about the class. It was easy to understand and went at a good pace. Theresa is knowledgeable and brings in real world examples to every session. I would highly recommend for anyone needing RCFE training, 10/10 would take again!

The instructor was knowledgeable and/or resourceful in finding good resources for the course. I appreciate her advices as well as her real case studies to better understand class materials and cant wait to apply them.

I liked the engagement with the class, when we were broken up to groups and how the instructor gamified the way we review all the articles. In addition, I appreciate how the instructor was very patient with her students.

I really enjoyed the training program! The methods used for review were incredibly effective and helped reinforce the material in a clear and practical way. The engaging topics made the learning process enjoyable and kept me motivated throughout the course. Overall, it was a well-structured and valuable experience.

I recently completed the RCFE administrator certification course at Assisted Care Institute, and I was very impressed with the quality of the training. Theresa was very knowledgeable and made complex topics easy to understand. The livestream classes were interactive, and I felt fully prepared for my certification exam.

The student workload is very manageable. The approach to the study material by going through the articles and the engagement of the students by dividing into groups to do study work in real time is very effective. Theresa provided some real-world applications that are very useful. I really liked and enjoyed this class. Thank you Theresa!

Very informative and the instructor was well organized and punctual.

The class was interactive. The teacher took the time to respond to questions and acknowledged every student. She was not overbearing. She respected us, and treated us as adults. She treated us with respect and dignity.

Thank you for all your guidance, this was absolutely one of my favorite Online classes I have ever taken! I always preferred in person classes because of my learning challenges, but Theresa has made this class understandable and enjoyable! Thank you Theresa!

I really enjoyed the interactive and practical nature of the RCFE training class. The instructors were knowledgeable and engaging, breaking down complex regulations into clear, real-world examples that made the material both accessible and immediately applicable. The hands-on exercises and supportive learning environment boosted my confidence and left me feeling well-prepared for managing a residential care facility.

Theresa's teaching style was thorough, and with her teaching, I feel very well prepared for my exam.

I liked the class engagement, breakout group, structure, and able to do via Zoom.

Theresa was knowledgeable and educated. She gave me the confidence in her after vetting several online classes when she picked up the phone and called me. I highly recommend this course and confident I will pass my exam as a result.

The level of delivering the contents, analysis, and the real life scenarios are all commendable.

I really liked the mix of actual text study and real life scenario work. Putting these topics into real time situations really helps understand.

The instructor, Theresa, was wonderful and engaging. From the start she was kind, patient, and very knowledgeable. Loved it!

I’ve never experienced such an interactive online class until I joined Assisted Care Institute’s Initial Certification Training Program for RCFE Administrator. What made the difference? It’s the instructor, Theresa. She is very knowledgeable; an expert in her field. We all enjoyed the class and passed with flying colors. You will, too. Join Assisted Care Institute, your path towards success.

My training in the RCFE Initial Administrator Certification program was organized, detail oriented and excellent preparation for the test. Theresa was a helpful, empathetic facilitator guiding us to a new level in our careers. By the end of the classes, we were friends and colleagues wishing each other the best. I recommended her classes to several of my co-workers.

Theresa is a very constructive tutor, with her skills and intelligence, it’s unbelievable how much I have learned!

This program is especially designed with tremendous knowledge and regulations! Easy going program with great experienced teacher! The whole group was friendly and full of encouragement!!
