Testimonials
I am in The Early Childhood Education program at Athena and this is my third quarter and words cannot explain how much I love attending this place. It is one of the best colleges I have attended thus far I would recommend anyone.
I would recommend anyone. I mean I love my instructors that I have had so far they are nice and caring and really do care about their students succeeding. I am going to miss them when I graduate.
The education I received from Athena has shown me there are so many areas of nursing I can go into. I have gained the knowledge to better provide for my family and I am so proud to say that I will be a safe and effective nurse!
Ambassador for Class 1302E
I enjoyed the hands on experience I received at Athena Career Academy. The labs were awesome and instructors were knowledgeable. I thoroughly enjoyed my time at Athena Career Academy.
Ambassador for Class 1310
I owe Athena Career Academy and its staff a warm thank you for giving me an opportunity and providing the tools I need to become a nurse. They provided an atmosphere filled with diversity within both the classroom and the clinical experience. I have learned so much about people and about life! Athena Career Academy has made me aware that I can always improve and should actively look for ways to improve!
Ambassador for Class 1301
After being out of school for over two decades, deciding to go into the phlebotomy program at Athena was very scary. But once I met with my instructors and got to know the students, it was honestly one of the best decisions I have made about my education in a long time. The teachers here care and want to see you succeed, and with the smalls classes, you can’t help but do that….so thanks Athena!
