I have learned so much from Ms. Gretchen! I have loved her classes, learning about the caregiver fundamentals and Dementia. I feel grateful for this learning experience and hope more people will take her classes because I believe 8 or 16 hours of training is not enough when it is about caring and assisting in a proper manner.  Thank you for everything!  Pema Hanly  (Professional Caregiver Graduate)

Mrs. Gretchen has one of the most incredible teachings I have ever gotten, even when I doubted myself she reassured me. This is my last day in class and I thought it was the hardest class, but again she saw to it that I understood and that I would not fail. So I know if I can do it . . . YOU CAN TOO, TRUST ME!!!  Thank you so very much I will see you next year and every year after.  I love you Mrs. Gretchen!    Paige Robertson (Professional Caregiver Graduate)

 

I really enjoyed this class, it was very informative and it taught me alot of things I did’nt know. I look forward to coming back and learning more. This class has me ready and prepared to be a professional caregiver.   T’kondrea Hopkins (Professional Caregive Graduate)

This class has helped me so much, I have been a PCA for 4 years and I thought I knew everything about being a caregiver until I attended CQES. It has helped me in my job to understand Alzheimer’s and Dementia,  medication training and knowing how to address certain issues when either in a residential facility or a private home.  It’s more than clinical training, hands on and book work, it’s not just taking a 16 hour class to become a PCA/Caregiver, it takes patience and a kind dedicated person to become a Caregiver.  I would highly recommend this class.     Almeka Dodds (Professional Cregiver Graduate)

I was finally able to seize the moment because of this program! I couldn’t complete the course because of personal obstacles in my life but with Gretchen and TJ constantly setting the bar and their open loving arms of faith I found strength and determination I thought I had lost forever! Thank you guys for your creative teaching for a better career. Ambrosia M (Professional Caregiver Graduate)

This will change the whole perspective of this career to a new level.  Completing this class will make you proud of what you do and will benefit everybody whether you are the caregiver or the recipient.  This class is incomparable to other class providers. IT’S AMAZING!!  Ruben Francia (Professional Caregiver Graduate & Home Owner)

 

I love CQES schooling! Gretchen is a wonderful instructor that not only teaches the material with enthusiasm but with knowledge.  She has a unique style of teaching that helps you to not only learn but absorb the material your learning.  Gretchen gives her students hands on learning which I feel is vital for those who have zero health-care experience.  Gretchen genuinely cares about her students and wants them all to succeed.  Suzanne Doren (Professional Caregiver Graduate)

I took the caregiving 101 class and I couldn’t be more happier with Gretchen’s expertise.  I definitely appreciated her level of enthusiasm and genuine interest to share her knowledge with us.  The curriculum was very informative and easy to understand, especially with Gretchen’s concrete examples.  I am signed up for more classes through CQES and am looking forward to learning more.  Kudos to Gretchen and TJ for an amazing team of professionals at CQES.  Eileen R. (Professional Caregiver Graduate)

I loved my time at the CQES Caregiving Program, it was informative and fun!

I love this school! Gretchen and her staff are great!!!  I love the small classroom size; it makes the experience a more personal one-on-one feeling.

Hi.  My name is Lulu Gamboa, a student of CQES as a certified caregiver.  I’ve learned a lot!!  Immeasurable.  I learned a lot because the CQES instructor, Gretchen Batis is great, informative and clear.  She gave great examples during training so that we would become very knowledgable students.  CQES is AWESOME!  Lulu Gamboa (Professional Caregiver Graduate)

Thank you Gretchen for being an informative and fun teacher.  I learned things in class that I didn’t know and some stuff I had forgotten.  This class has helped me realize even more that I want to be a nurse so that I can try to change the system and the way residents are treated.  Thank you for giving me a chance when others wouldn’t.  You are an inspiration.  (Professional Caregiver Graduate)

 I am writing this to say that taking this training course has been one of the most positive things that has happened to me in along time.  The staff here is wonderful, and I would like to thank everyone for their kindness and for making this a pleasant experience.  I am glad I am finished with the class but I will miss everyone here, especially Gretchen.  Thanks for everything and for making me feel welcomed.  Patricia Lafayette (Professional Caregiver Graduate)

 I have hesitation the first time I think of attending this class but the moment Ms.Gretchen talk/speaks, I already knew this class would be an interesting one. I know that the one speaking in front has the knowledge of the subject and most importantly she has the passion of making us (caregiver) proud of being “just a caregiver”. I have attended other class on anther orgaization but I findCQES more recommendable and I am looking forward of having more classes with CQES. Thank you so very much. Jayvee Orcino

 I’m really thankful for the training I have had at CQES because not only I can understand my parents condition but I’m more confident that I’m doing the right think in taking care of the elderly or any situation that needs my attention. Caring is challenging but it’s more fun knowing you’re doing a good job. I love the experience I have had at CQES because it’s a family atmosphere. I have proper training, knowledge and skills to do the best care possible and I could give the residents with much love coz they are my family too. Thank you Gretchen for sharing your skills and knowledge with us to make us the best caregivers in Nevada.  (Professional Caregiver Graduate)
