I especially want to recognize my instructor Meirell Fernández, who was absoluty wonderfull. She is very knowledgeable, patient, dedicated and truly cares about her students. I highly recommend Vida Training Center to anyone looking for quality Health Training.

I had an amazing experience with the RBT program at Vida Training Center. The program truly included everything I needed to feel confident and prepared. The step by step guidance made the entire process clear and manageable, especially for someone balancing a busy schedule. The staff was incredibly professional, respectful, and genuinely encouraging throughout the program. They were always available to answer questions and made sure I understood each concept before moving forward. Thanks to their support and the quality of the training, I was able to pass my board exam on the first try. I highly recommend Vida Training Center to anyone looking for a structured, supportive, and effective RBT program. They are also extremely ethical and compliant with Board guidelines, a lot of shady stuff in Miami and specially in the ABA world, they gave me full confidence and their program really reflected their quality and standards. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THEM IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO BECOME AN RBT!

I had a great experience with Vida Training! I took both the CPR course and the PCM course for RBT, and everything was very professional, organized, and easy to follow. The instructor Erika, Maria and Francisco were knowledgeable, patient, and made sure everyone felt confident and prepared. I really appreciated how hands-on the training was, I left feeling ready to apply what I learned in real situations. I highly recommend Vida Training to anyone pursuing their RBT certification or looking for quality professional training! 🤩

My experience with Vida training has been positive. From the moment I walked in the door, I could feel their willingness to help. I received my certification for RBT with them in 2019. I wrote this review today, which is January 2023. I continue to work with them on a yearly basis because of their services and other programs. The experience overall has been positive, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a career change or just to further their knowledge.
