The Concord Campus

Our campus is located at 1401 Willow Pass Road in Concord, California. This location spans two floors and covers about 24,000 square feet of space. We maintain 7 classrooms, 9 labs, and various learning resource stations. Students in Concord have access to a breakroom and a café within the building. They can also schedule appointments with various administrative staff in the financial aid and career services departments.

Our renovated site includes clinical teaching wards and diagnostic equipment. In addition, Concord instructors utilize medical simulation mannequins (SIM) to better educate their students. Our campus received accreditation in 2015 from the Accrediting Commission of Career Schools and Colleges (ACCSC) and offers various programs for aspiring healthcare professionals. These include classes for future Medical Assistants and Vocational Nurses, two occupations that fill critical roles in the healthcare system.

Active Training

While some of our programs have computer-based components, they often utilize hands-on exercises and training simulations. For instance, our Vocational Nursing students participate in clinical rotations throughout their program. These clinical rotations provide invaluable real-world experience, allowing students to apply learned theories and practices in various healthcare settings.

All our programs feature comprehensive yet efficient coursework. To accommodate our working students, we typically offer morning, midday, and evening classes. On Saturdays, we might be open for testing by appointment.

Going through COVID and what seemed like a nightmare was a blessing in disguise. Thanks to instructors, I was able to continue my journey into becoming a nurse. We felt more prepared to take the NCLEX and, through the Unitek system, felt more confident in our skills. We felt welcomed and at home, especially having our instructors by our side! We were family, and we made it!
