Sadie Hoffman
“The NPRC EMT program offers in person and hands-on learning. There were several highly knowledgeable instructors who helped us develop our real-life skills. The program worked well for me as the foundation and beginning of my career because of the one-on-one instruction I received.”
Connor Gausman
"If someone is looking at going to school at NPRC, they have even more options now than when I was going to school there. People at NPRC care for you, want you to succeed, and want to help you get a job at a place that you want to work. Going to school at NPRC has turned out great and I am an example that it is achievable."
Marie Wells
“It was a wonderful experience here at NPRC. I learned so much and my instructor was amazing. He was knowledgeable and made sure that everything we need is uploaded online and communicates well with us. He also held us accountable to make sure we were learning and ready. I enjoyed working alongside my amazing classmates and all the different experiences they brought to the course. Everyone in our class was eager to learn and was proactive about staying up to date on what is being asked of us.”
Sherrie Falck
"NPRC really goes above and beyond to support their students. If there is a way to support someone, the College explores it if it can help to make a difference."
Nicole Atkinson
“NPRC gave me the experience, knowledge and opportunity to follow a passion and turn it into a career. I enjoyed how hands on the program was because it prepared me to use these skills every day. It also helped me to feel extremely prepared for my class exams and the National Registry exam. Working in EMS has been extremely rewarding and there’s no career I would rather pursue than being a first responder.”
Lauren Geraci
“NPRC is a great opportunity for everyone interested in college and especially for those who do not want to overwhelm themselves with it from the start. College can be overwhelming, especially if people take too many courses at once. I have no regrets about taking courses at NPRC and it has been a great opportunity for me.”
Amanda Conklin
“Some colleges can sometimes be too large that they become informal and lack the personal touch. NPRC is not like that. I enjoyed how honest, respectful, and genuine my instructors have been towards me."
Nikki Hall
“You can do it” is my message to anyone who’s considering coming to NPRC or even starting something new. This is a place for everyone. The instructors and staff are here to help and support you. What do you have to lose?”
Kara Haight
“I can honestly say that, with no exaggeration, NPRC has changed me for the better. Growing up homeschooled, I wasn’t sure what to expect as far as a classroom setting, but it was a relatively easy transition. NPRC made me feel like I belonged there and my ideas and comments in class were respected."
Michael Moore
“All of my instructors have been great at communicating and showing up for me when I needed them. In particular, I had one class in my first term at NPRC in the fall of 2023 with Mr. Blood, and it changed my perspective on college and how to manage everything that’s going on.”
Savannah Nichols
“From the start, NPRC made me feel like I was at the right place. I felt from the beginning like I knew what I was doing, and I was ready for college."
T.J. Swanson
“The course was amazing, and I was fortunate to have a great instructor like Evan who helped me throughout. I already had knowledge about trucking having grown up around it and having previously gotten my CDL permit a few years ago. However, he taught me several important lessons to help my career.”
Harry Snyder
“I was unable to drive for a while. I’m thankful for NPRC stepping up and communicating with PA Pride to coordinate me into a new section of the class. They made it easy for me.”
Blake Alexander
“The Spring 2025 semester was my first college experience, and I loved it. I learned so much about myself and how I work so I can better prepare for my next term and excel better where I need to. I previously believed that I was not smart enough for college, but after that very successful first semester, I gained confidence in myself and my skills.”
Brittany Grajek
“Attending NPRC was truly life-changing for me and provided a foundation to pursue my passion for early childhood education. I gained the knowledge and skills needed to excel in this field. But it was bigger than just academics; my professors taught me valuable life lessons and instilled important values that have shaped who I am today. Overall, my college journey has not only prepared me for a successful career but has also equipped me with the mindset and tools to make a positive impact on the lives of young children.”
Brittney Giancotti
“I had a fear that this degree would be unobtainable due to being a full-time employee and mother. With the support of family, friends, coworkers, and NPRC, I’ve gained confidence and support to continue my education.”
Nicole Wheatley-Causer
“I encourage those considering NPRC to jump in. Everyone here is very helpful. You aren’t getting this degree on your own; you have people here to lean on. NPRC will help you with whatever they can to see you succeed.”
Arianna Otero
“As an NPRC student, I appreciate that so much is managed for me. I have nothing to worry about because whenever I have questions, the wonderful staff members always answer them right away. Being a student can be stressful, especially during the beginning of a semester. NPRC takes care of that stress for me and was very welcoming from the start.”

“From the first time I found out about
NPRC, I knew attending college was
something I wanted to pursue because
of how genuine the first interaction was.
I’m proof that finding the right path can
be done. It’s worth it to find ways out of
situations you do not want to be in for
better ones. I can’t say enough about how
NPRC’s employees have empowered and
advocated for me.”
- Amanda, NPRC Student
"NPRC’s faculty, staff, and professors do
everything they can to see the students
succeed and provide us with exactly what
we need to do our best both inside the
classroom and out. The early childhood
education program is phenomenal. It was
a school that aided me in balancing class,
schoolwork, and my career. From the start
and throughout my time, NPRC made me
feel like I was at the right place.”
