Ava Mia April 08, 2024
  • 2023 was a rough year for me. I lost a lot but I also gained a lot. I desperately needed to start working, but I wanted to spend my time on starting a career and not working a typical 9-5 that I won’t grow in or be happy in. I decided to do research and stumbled upon Health Tech Academy. I gave them a call and I was very happy to know that it was at my own pace and I could get finished as quickly as I was capable. The only other thing I needed to figure out was the financial aspect of it, I was nervous about that. Luckily, there was an affordable payment plan! Because I have health care knowledge already, I was happy to see that I got through the program very quickly and was satisfied with the learning experience.

  • As a single mother, who wants to further her career to better her child's life, I'm grateful I found this program! Before I even started attending the actual program, they were already willing to help accommodate my needs while working graveyard shifts. They constantly were reassuring and willing to help me reschedule my orientation date and time, answered all my questions thoroughly. I will definitely be referring my fellow medical field friends to this schooling website and to my other friends as well. I'm very excited for this journey, and again so grateful that this school is compassionate about their students and the students' needs.

  • Health Tech Academy's surgical tech bootcamp has been a great program for me. I come here as a truck driver after leaving the medical field for 6 years. I didn’t think I would remember or do anything in the medical field again but since day one, everyone have a great support to me and. The content has been very informative and the price is very affordable. I love being here, and also the fact that the course contnet is not time-consuming, as I have enough time to work and be with family but still learn. I appreciate everything you guys are doing for your students, thank you.
