I highly recommend Zandu Health Initiative. Mr Steve and Mrs Survival were wonderful!!!! They are very understanding. Their communication level was very good. They answered all my many questions and nonstop calls😂. I learned so much from Mrs Survival in a short amount of time. The training, lessons, skills practice and support helped me a lot. I was able to pass my exam. I will definitely be returning back soon. Im thankful for my experience.

Survival and Steve make for a wonderful duo, they make learning fun, engaging, and unique. They create a stress free environment so you will be able to thrive and learn without the pressure that you may otherwise feel. Theyll take the time to contact you and respond if you need advice or help in preparation for your CNA exam. Their willingness to advise and help you will extend beyond the time after the class and after becoming an CNA, they are a great resource. I strongly advise if you want a very hands on environment that will allow you to succeed Id consider them.

Steve and Survival are committed to teaching students for real-world impact in health care. They model the critical combination of a compassionate heart and competent skilled care. I was blessed to have the opportunity to study under the hybrid format as I made a career pivot in the fall of 2020. This allowed me to study concepts and practice the skills content at home while still working full-time and attending labs one full day each week. Highly recommend their program!

I am currently taking the CNA classes at at ZANDU HEALTH and I have not met Steve but Survival is very rude and not accommodating to the students there. They have outdated equipment you won’t even use on the state CNA test this is a waste of miner and time. VERY RUDE PEOPLE GO SOME WHERE ELSE

I can not stress enough how wonderful the experience was working with ZHI. Survival and Steve are not only beyond knowledgeable in the classroom, but they truly care about you and your success as a student. Bonus, they are also genuinely wonderful people. I passed on my first attempt and thank them entirely for that. A++ experience all around.

Survival and Steve were great, experienced instructors! They both made sure I was completely ready for my licensing exam and had all the resources I needed. The class was very manageable and the resources helped me learn all the skills I needed. In person classes allowed me to practice my skills and get valuable feedback on how to improve. In-person clinicals were very valuable for patient experience. Zandu is also a lot more affordable in comparison to other institutes. I have no complaints and highly recommend the blended hybrid CNA course to anyone interested!

Zandu health initiative has the most amazing instructors. I personally worked with Steve but his wife Survival did the online classes which i heard nothing but great things about her as well. I recommend this class to anyone and everyone. Steve has been one of my favorite teachers. He makes classes lots of fun and informational. Most of my class took the state exam the last day of clinicals and we ALL PASSED 😁😁 HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

This was a great option for a CNA class- especially during covid times! The class was small, we had the opportunity to learn and practice skills (even outside of class time), and Survival & Steve were very goal oriented in trying to get all of their students to succeed. I passed the CNA certification on the first try!

I had Steve as my CNA instructor. He was beyond amazing! He answers any and all questions, will work with you on anything you don’t understand, and he’s very personable. His wife, Survival, was super helpful and nice as well every time I needed help. I passed my exam on the first try thanks to these two! I would definitely recommend Zandu for all those looking to become a CNA!

Flexible schedules and dedicated teachers!I would highly recommend this school. Both Steve and his wife, Survival, are great instructors. I guarantee you will pass your exam on the first try because of their dedication to make sure you succeed in becoming a CNA and passing your state Exam. My instructor was Mrs. Survival, and she was great! She was very easy going and made the learning experience fun and easy to understand.I took my state exam two weeks after my last class. I passed my state exam on my first try, both the written and skills test. All thanks to my great instructors and their dedication to make sure I pass. It’s also worth noting, after registering to take the state exam Steve allowed us to practice our skills. It was kind of like a mock test, which really helped me in passing my state exam! Definitely attend this school if you can. It’s worth it!

We were looking for a CNA course during Covid and Zandu has a online Hybrid option. Steve was very accommodating to help coordinate our online experience and the face to face skills training. Our clinical experience was great at a nursing home. They also helped with TB test required for nursing students and a CPR training course when no other places were offering. Plus allowed us to come in to practice skills when state exams were limiting who they would test and our test date was pushed out to August. His wife, Survival, is an excellent trainer and works very hard.

After poor experiences with representatives of the American Red Cross and other CNA training programs, I looked further into ZHI and the difference was like night and day. Steve Mandieka quickly answered my inquiry and patiently responded to my many questions. His attitude was enthusiastic and welcoming. I was so relieved, and felt like I finally found the right place for me - a program run by exceptionally caring and smart people.During classroom training our excellent teacher Survival Mandieka told us that as a CNA our patients may not remember all the things that we help them with, but they will remember how we as CNAs make them feel while we care for them. And that is how to make a difference in their lives.And that is how Steve and Survival make a difference in their students lives.As the school navigated the Covid 19 landscape there were challenges that resulted in changes to the program, but I felt the focus was always on the students and their needs. They did a great job in providing us a good education under difficult circumstances.They were also very open to helping out students who might need extra time and attention.I passed my state exams the first time and I am so thankful for ZHI.

I highly recommend ZHI. Steve is very nice, informative and soft spoken guy. Survival did a great job on our last practice for skills before we take our exam today. For now 3 of us passed for our exam in first attempt and more to come.😊 I’m gonna miss the evening class of summer 2019. Thanks to our mentors Steve and Survival.👍

Excellent training for CNAs. When my daughter took her State exam the person testing her asked where she had received her education as she was so impressed with her skills. Past State exams, both written and skills, on the first attempt. She did so well that my son decided to attend too and passed the first attempt as well. Extremely professional environment and service.

Review №54

I dont have the habit of reviewing businesses unless the experience was beyond exceptional, and hopefully, it helps someone make a fantastic choice!At first, I wasnt very optimistic about my career; however, Steve went far and beyond to make sure I have all the support and motivation I was lacking. And he followed through to the end of the training. As a result, I passed the state test on my first try!So Im writing this review from the bottom of my heart to express my gratitude to Steve and other staff members at Zandu Health Initiatives! Indeed, I had a remarkable CNA training as well as guidance that birthed the decision to take my nursing career to the RN level (graduating next year). Also, going there for the CPR training in the coming month. It is because of all of you that I am keeping an excellent job, and walking with my shoulders high. This school has a supportive learning environment, a small class size, highly impactful, and welcoming to everyone. I have recommended this school to my friends and family, and they are all grateful. So for every beginner or aspiring nurse, I would say, let ZANDU HEALTH INITIATIVE be your first choice of nursing school and I promise you wont regret it!Goodluck yall!

Steve was not only the most inspiring teacher I have had, but he was also the most willing to teach me. Steve went above and beyond to teach my CNA class, and he does that with every class he has and every student he teaches. I took his class back in December of 2019, and until this day I still recommend students to take his class. I got my certificate in January and I have landed the job I wanted alhamdullilah. Thank you to Zandu health initiative for pushing me to reach for the stars. In a couple of years I will look back at this and say the same exact thing. Steve inspired me to pursue nursing long term.

I would definitely recommend the Zhandu Health Initiative for any prospective students. I could not have wished for a better professor or learning environment. The professor came to class everyday prepped and ready to go. Every skill was a hands-on learning experience in the class, which made getting the statewide certification very easy.Overall, I would say that the professors are very knowledgeable and really know the material. They also know how to present the material in a fun and engaging way that helps the lessons stick. The helpful insight that was provided about critical points in skills and knowledge really work to make that final state exam feel like a breeze.I would definitely recommend any class at Zhandu Health Initiative, as they are all top-tier.

I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking to get into nursing. I just finished there and it was a great experience, great teacher(s) (Steve Mandieka was mine) and the perfect atmosphere. Class sizes are small so you get to know people better and have more 1on1 time with the teacher, who always made himself available for that. We got a high class education on the subject and more about other things that can relate also to nursing. I see this teacher as more of a mentor to me, and you can tell he really wants everyone to not only succeed but excel in everything they wish. 5 stars is not an exaggeration, but also maybe not enough. Thanks, Zandu!!

The staff was very encouraging & supportive. You can tell that they really care about what they do and want to see their students succeed.I waited about 3 weeks after finishing their course to take the state test(I wanted to make sure that I gave myself plenty of time to practice everything that I learned in class.)and after practicing, Im happy to say that I passed both my written and skills test last week! I just want to Thank You for everything. You guys are the best!!!Blessings,Alanna Hoban

I completed the nursing assistant class last year from other schools. I took the state test for three times. unfortunately, I couldn’t pass the state test.

Words can’t explain how great the experience I had at Zandu was. Survival was an excellent teacher who gave me the tools and skills necessary to succeed in the course. Not only did she make the material easy to understand she also made it fun and engaging at the same time. She was very kind and open to questions. She was patient with each and everyone of us in class and it truly made my experience remarkable. Both Survival and Steve work really hard to accomadate each students needs & for that I am grateful for them. Steve is a wonderful motivater and mentor and if you need the extra push to start a career path in nursing he is just the right guy for you! Thank you Steve & Survival, your work is greatly appreciated and forever indebted in my heart! Zandu health is the perfect program for nursing assistant & would I recommend it to everyone!
