I began the Phlebotomy course back in June of 2019. I was nervous about entering in a whole new…read morefield. Having a change in career I knew phlebotomy was a good start after thorough research. At first point of contact with US Colleges, admissions was very friendly and encouraging about the course and career opportunities and made it clear that students would receive help with whatever they needed. And of course they waste no time to collect your money; roughly $3000 and of course one late payment and it'll affect you. LECTURE: as a first timer in the medical field it went better than I thought. Vicky, my instructor was great! She gave us complete explanations and made the learning experience wonderful. I put in the work and dedication and scored 98% on midterm and 100% on final. It's not that hard when you want it and have desire to pay attention and study. LAB: it was interesting practicing in the lab but you do get to learn the techniques and give you an idea of an actual setting. All I can say about the process is, please go the extra mile to be gentle and do things as painless as possible. It is such a GREAT FEELING when people say, "I didn't even feel that!" but of course, results will vary. Volunteers for lab is helpful but come on now, it's not that easy for all us to get someone to come in and let a noobie stab them. NHA: PAY AN EXTRA $117. The test was very weird, DO NOT RELY ON LECTURE to pass NHA. It is very different and questions on there will throw you off. So make sure to STUDY the NHA MATERIAL and not focus on your lecture notes only, but it is PASSABLE. EXTERNSHIP AUG 2019: they sent me to a small clinic where they don't have a Phlebotomist position so I did ALOT of standing around doing nothing even when I tried to do my best and stay busy and learn new things to take advantage of my time there. I was able to get all my draws in but definitely feels like watching paint dry for hours. CAREER SERVICE: they have been very friendly and assure you they will help you in anyway whatever it takes. I am willing to work in a position that does not require a CPT1 license but no luck at all. I apply and apply and try to stay encouraged but no luck. I am still working on it so job placement is still ongoing... APPYLING FOR LICENSE: PAY AN EXTRA $100 to apply PREPARE TO WAIT FOREVER and GO OUT OF YOUR WAY. Laboratory Field Services is such a joke. They sent me an email saying they received my application but haven't received my college transcripts. I called Cal Poly Registrars office and they confirmed the official transcripts were sent to LSF (the address US Colleges gave me) before LSF sent me the email. Cal Poly was not on the list of schools under the website US Colleges gave me to order transcripts from and National Student Clearinghouse said the LSF address was not recognized by USPS. I had a rep from Cal Poly trying to get a hold of them to confirm my transcripts were sent but with LSF only having a 1 star rating on google reviews, I'm afraid they had no luck getting through. ITS INCONVENIENT because I have to go out my way to prove that I in fact sent in my transcripts so my application does not expire (60 days). FRONT DESK: Front Desk Management, Isaiah, has been able work with me and keep me updated and also go out of his way to help. He has made my communication and process easy thus far. OCT 2019: It is now Fall and I haven't had any luck with career services or applying on my own (I can't do much without my license and not sure what I can work as or where without a license) I find myself applying to positions for my previous career because in reality, we just need to pay the bills. Credit services jumps on you if you miss a payment (which I haven't thankfully) but I just wish the there was more doing rather than reassuring at the school. Time goes by and retaining what I learned is getting more difficult if I don't spend time reviewing old notes and test guides. I will still apply as a CPT or work in a medical related position because I refuse to give up but honestly, feels like I'm gambling $3000 right now. **if i get employed as a CPT sooner or later, I will do a follow up review (if yelp allows for multiple reviews by the same person, I don't know to be honest).

terrible experience. I jumped through all their hoops. I didnt get a tour of the school, I didn't…read moreget a welcome. but I did show up to orientation, I did sign and turn in everything they asked before class started. I showed up the first two days and then after class on the second day they call and tell me they never enrolled me in the right course BUT if I can put my life on hold again in a month, I can do the 8 week course in a month. even though I've already been in school for 2 days. and then they start calling me and making me seem difficult because I don't know how I'm supposed to figure out childcare again andhow I'm supposed to keep putting off working and life for the school who can't even submit my enrollment papers on time. And they want to give me an attitude. They don't care about your education. They care about their image and looking good

I graduated from ACC's Medical Billing program in March, and through the school's Career Services…read moreProgram I was able to get a job at an imaging clinic by the beginning of May. My instructors were very kind and great at teaching the curriculum and I'm very pleased with the knowledge I've left with. The only issue that keeps me from giving them 5 stars is the fact that their financial aid representatives are a nightmare to get into contact with. I used my GI Bill to go to school, and for some reason they just forgot to submit my enrollment to the VA for two whole months. I had to talk to three people just to get in contact with the department head and remind them to submit the paperwork so I could get my housing allowance for the month and pay my rent. 1/5 experience on that end.

I don't even know where to begin when it comes to how amazing everyone at American Fabrication…read moreAcademy is. Luke and his team are incredibly professional instructors who are truly dedicated to bringing out the best in each student. Ladies, if you're feeling a bit intimidated or worried that you'll be treated differently, don't be. The only thing you really need to survive AFA is a sense of humor (that goes for the guys too) I remember sitting in college, debating whether it was the right path for me or if I should take the leap and pursue a trade. I'm beyond glad I did. I have absolutely no regrets about attending AFA. Ralph, Ronnie, Doc, and Kyle not only taught me during my time there, but they continue to teach and support me even after graduation. Whether I need extra practice or advice, before an interview or for a weld test their doors are always open. Luke, Robert, Marcio, and Gus have also been incredibly supportive and instrumental in helping me grow in my welding career. Never in a million years did I think I'd find myself in aerospace, but here I am and I couldn't have done it without the amazing team at AFA. And of course, shoutout to the wonderful ladies in the office, they are always a delight to talk to and often the highlight of my day. Whatever I needed, they were there to help. P.S. Sorry it took me so long to leave a review... I've been busy working at the jobs you guys helped me get!

From day one, the American Fabrication Academy taught me the foundational skills I needed to enter this trade and gave me lifelong mentors I now consider family. Before attending AFA, my only work experience was babysitting. After graduating in March, it took a little time, but by May I had job offers from SpaceX and Anduril Industries at just 19 years old. I'm beyond grateful for how much this school helped me during and even after the program. If you're looking for a trade school that truly cares about your future not just your tuition this is the place. The staff here go above and beyond to set you up for success, and that support doesn't end when you graduate. I want to give a special thank you to all the instructors who were a part of my journey: Luke, Marcio, Kyle, Ronnie, Doc, and David, Robert, as well as Gus, the recruiter, and Silvia at the front desk. Each of them played a role in my growth. They're not only incredibly knowledgeable, but they also know how to keep things fun always joking around, but dead serious when it comes to teaching you the craft and work ethic this industry demands. In my opinion, AFA is the top trade school in California. To this day, I'm still learning from the advice and lessons they gave me things I never got from traditional high school or anyone for that matter. Forever grateful for the family I made at AFA. Thank you for everything. -Christine class #39
