Shawn is probably one of the best teachers! I loved going to this school. Shawn really helped out in so many ways, even after getting my CNA she calls and makes sure we are doing okay. She made everyone feel like a family. Hands down best school for CNA!

I just finished a course at Inspire and I can not say enough good things about the facility and Shawn, the owner. Shawn NEVER hesitates to answer any and all questions, she is extremely knowledgeable, kind, funny and has her students' best interests in mind at all times. I 100% recommend this school.
