Students testimonials

About a year and a half ago, I found this technical school to begin a career in phlebotomy after seeing many other good reviews. I have to say, they were correct. I loved my instructor, Vanessa Rodriguez, and her teaching style. She always strived to keep her student engaged and explained things clearly and demonstrated all types of techniques. I took the 6 week course and thought it was fast paced but easy to follow as long as you keep up with the work. There were live sticks and lab time. I went on to pass the NHA exam and now work full time as a phlebotomist in a hospital because of this school!
