I originally chose this 40-hour RCFE administrator CEU renewal option out of all the available choices because of its great reviews, convenience, and excellent price point. The self-paced courses were incredibly easy to navigate, making the independent study portion completely stress-free. As for the live portion, let’s be honest—nobody is looking forward to spending 20 hours on Zoom, but Carlos truly made the best out of a "must-do" mandatory experience. Carlos was approachable, knowledgeable, and just enough "geeky" with a great sense of humor to make this class the best it could possibly be. He was completely open to all of our inquiries, showing a true interest in our points of view and our frequent questions. Even with the class asking so many questions, Carlos’s time management was absolutely on point. He never missed a beat and stayed perfectly on schedule. He proved to be extremely knowledgeable on all areas of the subject matter, as well as the real-world navigation of RCFE regulations. I highly recommend this course to anyone needing their renewal! I am actually looking forward to my renewal in two years 🤣

I’m very happy I chose NCPI for my RCFE Administrator recertification class. Carlos was an excellent instructor. knowledgeable, patient, approachable, and genuinely caring. He made the class engaging and easy to follow, with practical examples that were helpful in real-life situations. I truly enjoyed the experience and appreciated Carlos’s dedication to making sure we understood the material. I highly recommend Carlos and NCPI for quality professional training. I’ll definitely be back in two years for my recertification, but I won’t wait until then. With the variety of classes NCPI offers, they’ll definitely be one of our first choices for future training! Thank you, Carlos, for a wonderful class!
