Fremont Adult and Continuing Education

I would give Harper Rand 0 stars if I could. I did the front and back office medical assisting program with them at San Joaquin Delta College. I signed a 280 hour of class time contract. We had our finals and i passed with a 98%. Our instructor told us we would be contacted for placement for our extern. They cut the program short to less than 200 hours. We were contacted 2 weeks later to take our extern placement the majority of things being examined was not taught. The whole class basically turned in incomplete work and we were all told that our instructor was suppose to have a female present when we did our Ekgs and z track shots (butt injections) but he did not. He didn’t teach us how to chart or document our patients, we weren’t taught how to do an apical pulse nor were we taught any computer work. If you know about the medical field everything is transitioning to computers. We were then told by Delta College that if we write a letter to the Dean of Delta maybe he will extend our program but free of charge and 2 months after our MA Class had ended we were told they would extend our training but I was dropped out of the program because my payments was not current with Harper Rand but why would I pay for a less than 200 hour when I signed for a 280?! Ive contacted this company through emails numerous of
but i have not gotten any response back for my mediocre education i got out of them. There is just so many things that was wrong with the program.
I am devasted at how much time, money, and effort I had put into the program. I demanded a refund but Mike Medewitt whom is the COO of Harper Rand said me, «its like asking for you money back after finishing your meal at a restaurant». I even went to the courthouse to file a smalls claim but the business does not even pop up in the court business system.

Mommy & Me class
Greatly enjoy the 2 – 3 year old mommy & me class with Teacher Brenda. She is enthusiastic and my daughter warmed up to her after one class. It is 2 hours, 15 mins long, once a week. There’s a schedule that includes craft time (while parents & kids come in at various times), then circle time, then snack time, then outdoor play/​open play/​more craft time, then second circle time. The outdoor play space is big enough. My daughter looks forward to class. It is such a special experience to be able to see my daughter’s enthusiasm for and loving her first school experience. Highly recommend!

Great school Learned a lot!

I was a student in Dr. malhotras MA class this past summer and boy was I very impressed with her vast medical knowledge and style of teaching. She pushed her students to do well and learn hands-​on! Class was rigorous but in a way that made all of our students become good MA’s and really grasp what we learned. I’m glad she was my teacher as she was very thorough and dedicated to every one of her students. She worked very hard to make sure we got all the resources we needed for us to do well, she went above and beyond to make sure we learned properly (even at times when we as students would get frustrated-​venipuncture was intimidating), she really made us gain confidence and was always available to guide us and answer any questions we had!

I’m giving a one star review because the company that I’m doing my program through is a total joke! Harper Rand is the company that I’m doing my phlebotomy program through and they use the Fremont adult school to hold their classes.
First off, my instructor was awesome and so nice! She taught our class EVERYTHING we needed to know to get us ready for in-​class exams, the proper way to draw blood, and even gave us really good tips for the national exam! Here’s the part that got my classmates and I really angry… We started the program in March and finished in June. This program is supposed to be «3 months» and that’s what it says on the Fremont adult school website. Well in the student handbook we received it says «students will be placed in their externship 90 days after their last day of class». Hmm it’s September. and we’re still here playing the waiting game. This is a hands on program and 3 months without practicing what we learned in class is pretty bad. How are we supposed to feel confident and ready for the externship if we don’t even get to practice?
My classmates and I would constantly call/​email this company about when the heck we would be starting our externship and they totally ignore us or tell us a complete lie saying «we’re waiting for the hospital’s response». I get that the process takes awhile but how long do we have to hear that BS? They should have had a contract with clinics/​hospitals BEFORE we started the program so that way those who are eligible to go to externship won’t have to wait! I only took this program because I was like «wow I can get certified in 3 months» YEAH RIGHT! Anyone who wants to do any allied health program through Harper rand should think twice. SAVE YOUR TIME AND MONEY!

I took the Phlebotomy class here starting in march of 2015. The classroom, instructor and the Adult School itself was great! Its «Harper Rand» the company that contracts through the adult school that was the biggest joke. No externships… The Student handbook says Eligible students will be placed in externship within 90 days after the last meeting day of the classroom portion of the program” For a hands on program 3 months is a extremely long time to not be practicing what you’ve learned before going out and doing it on the public. So to sum it up Fremont adult school you rock! (sorry about the two star review). Harper Rand (does Medical Assisting and Phlebotomy) seems as though they are just in it for the money.

Too bad, try to get money from working adult money. This program is scam. No externship and unlicensed instructor

Took a course here for CPR.
From the street it looks deceptively small but when you get to the back, there is a huge parking lot and more buildings. I wish it was organized with better mapping.
As it is in the middle of nowhere, you may want to bring your lunch as there’s probably not enough time to get off the campus, purchase, and get back in time. There is supposedly a vending machine area but I didn’t check.
