San Mateo County Office of Edu – Regional Occupational Program

Went here to get some further education way back 2010.
I took the Medical Administrative Assistant and Health Care Core classes w/​Ms. Newland and Ms. Ramirez, respectively.
Enrollment fee back then was around $ 80 per class.
We would usually read the book ourselves, and then watch some videos about Medical terminology. Although the classes at times can be a bit boring (you spend 3 hours there sitting), my instructors were very helpful and makes sure you are on top of what needs to be done.
Another good thing is that we were exposed to the work environment because of the internship that was offered. I gained a lot of skills from that.
Regarding the facility, the computers are fairly new, the classrooms are nice and clean, and so are the restrooms.
For a government facility of this type, it definitely deserves 4 stars.

These programs are awesome! They teach you practical skills to use to get jobs or for everyday life. I did the Biotechnology Program and the Automotive Specialist Program, both were amazing.
The biotech program not only had tons of hands on projects, lab work and an opportunity for an internship; the teacher was very knowledgeable and start a template for a national biotech course. Great experience, real world job skills.
I am so thankful I took the automotive one! Now when I go to get my car looked, at I feel confident at calling bullshit when they tell me my engine needs to be replaced or something is leaking. Not only that, the skills have saved me money! Now I can do the car stuff myself. Highly recommended.
Even better, these courses cost only $ 80 and are free if you are in high school! What a great deal considering how much a college degree or even an AA can cost. I really want to go back and take more classes!!!
