I recently completed the phlebotomy program at CA Trade Academy in Ontario. While the enrollment…read moreprocess was quick and the hands-on training with my instructor Oscar was a strong part of the experience, the program was ultimately undermined by inconsistent communication and lack of administrative support. Oscar was patient, knowledgeable, and genuinely dedicated to student success. Being in a one-on-one setting allowed for focused instruction, and he even continued to assist me after he left the school--something I truly appreciated. However, after the classroom portion ended, the experience became difficult. I completed my classes in mid-January and was told I was ready to begin my externship, but didn't receive placement or meaningful communication until mid-March. I had to follow up repeatedly just to get updates. The clinic I was placed at was also in Los Angeles, which was not convenient given the school's Ontario location. Additionally, I received several forwarding emails that I was meant to be out of, other student email responses from a licensing issues--something that should have been handled more professionally and privately. While I'm thankful for the instruction I received from Oscar, the lack of structure and follow-through on the administrative side left a bitter part to my experience and was slightly misled by some of the faulty 5 star reviews left

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 got lucky to find this school close by and for my job to sponsor me to take the excel boot camp. I wanted to refresh the things I learned in college almost 20 years ago but haven't used much since. And also to just step my excel game up in general so I could actually make excel do things for me as opposed to using it simply for data entry. I did the basic boot camp that spanned 3 consecutive Saturday sessions. Nice, clean and private learning facility in a cool location downtown upland. The instructor was Michael and he was fantastic. Very knowledgeable and good and explaining the information and fielding questions as we moved through the material. The classes were broken up into nice lesson segments and although each had a different main focus there were recurring things a lot too which helped seeing them integrated in different contexts. I feel confident that practicing the skills we learned in class will help me utilize excel much more efficiently and I feel that with this base I could also teach myself new things more effectively too using online aids. Highly recommend the class and instructor!

I recently bought a home and the sprinkler irrigation system was in dire need of repair. One of…read morethe zone in the front yard didn't work and the valve was leaking and my backyard sprinklers were a mess. I tried calling around but no one was picking up. I was SOO FORTUNATE that I called Irrigator technical services. Richard picked up the phone immediately. With a friendly and welcoming voice, he asked what he can do for me. I explained to him my sprinkler problems and he asked me to send some photos of my lawn valve and timer box. He looked at the photos and then packed his truck with the needed supplies and off he went to my home on the same day. He arrived as promised, assessed the problems and knew what to do! He is very knowledgeable and it's obvious from talking to him that he's a master in his craft. He teaches courses to have other aspiring irrigation technician certified. He was showing me and explaining every step of what he was doing. He even gave me valuable insights and advices on how irrigation system work and how to care for my lawn. My irrigation system needed quite a few repairs, but he knew exactly what to do. He replaced one of the backyard valve system, front yard's diaphragm from the anti-siphon filter, redid the timer wiring, upgraded my timer box, and replace some sprinkler heads to the appropriate types for the garden. He was so nice to talk to and I can tell he genuinely loves what he does and takes satisfaction in helping homeowners get their irrigation system to work to get their lawn and garden in top shape. He knows landscaping very well and was explaining what kind of trees, scrubs and plants I have and how they grow and how I should water them. During his work, he needed some parts from his office. As promised, he came back the next day, and finished the job and now my home has a strong working sprinkler system and an improved timer box that I completely love! I am glad I found a quality and honest irrigation specialist that I can rely on to get the job done. I would definitely seek Richard and Irrigator Technical Service for any future needs. His pricing and quality of work was more than fair. Apparently, he also runs a shop that sell irrigation parts and he partakes in talk shows to help other homeowners get advice on lawn care. Richard is a great guy and a pleasure doing business with!

Immediately after finishing, I was hired by the same company where I completed my internship. Through this opportunity, I was able to gain valuable experience as a Case Manager, later work for the county as a Prevention Specialist and Counselor, and eventually serve as an Assistant Program Director at a residential facility. When I was ready to obtain my CADC, my instructor at Healthstaff, Miguel Palos, went above and beyond to support me. He provided exam review sessions, guidance on study materials, and insight into what to expect on test day. Thanks to his support, I passed my exam with confidence and without anxiety. I have recommended Healthstaff's program to many people and will continue to do so--especially the classes taught by Miguel. This program truly prepared me for success in the field.

PLEASE READ BEFORE ENROLLING -- MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCE WITH HEALTHSTAFF TRAINING INSTITUTE- My…read morehonest opinion I will advise any student NOT to attend this school it's a Scam!!! I enrolled in HealthStaff Training Institute's Phlebotomy Technician program using my Workers' Compensation Supplemental Job Displacement Voucher (SJDV) because I was serious about starting a new career. Unfortunately, my experience was extremely stressful and disappointing. My instructor, Courtney Mason, CPT 1, was involved in numerous issues I experienced during training. I was called "sensitive," told I was not a good fit for phlebotomy, and told that I could not draw blood and should repeat the course or consider another career. I strongly disagreed because I had successfully performed venipunctures. I also experienced disputes over my clinical records. I reported completing numerous successful blood draws, but the school's records reportedly reflected substantially fewer. I believe my completed clinical work was not accurately credited. During training, another student injured my arm while attempting a blood draw she missed my vein and was fishing in my arm with a needle causing excruciating pain. I felt the instructor was not adequately supervising what was happening, and I was subsequently told that I had caused the injury to my own arm. I was also told that I needed to bring my own blood-draw volunteers from outside the school because the school would not provide volunteers for me to complete my required draws. I also had significant administrative issues involving Kavita Mathrani, Director of the Ontario Campus.  My concerns about my status, training, completion requirements, and ability to graduate were handled through administration. What makes this especially confusing is that I was ultimately prevented from completing my original cohort, yet I was later told that I was not formally suspended, expelled, or dismissed. My classmates graduated on May 29, 2026. I did not. I was held back from graduating with my cohort and ultimately placed on a Leave of Absence with additional training requirements scheduled for November 2026. Then came an incident that I consider extremely serious from a health-and-safety standpoint. On June 13, 2026, while at school, the classroom was extremely hot. The HVAC was not functioning properly, and there were missing ceiling panels. I asked the instructor to adjust the temperature before things got out of control never happened. While performing a blood draw, I became overheated, nauseated and lightheaded, passed out/lost awareness, and fell backward, injuring myself. I ultimately required ambulance transportation late on in the day and emergency medical treatment. I also experienced difficulties obtaining school information needed for my EDD appeal, including documentation concerning the school's training-provider status the school had me email information concerning my appeal and did not respond to my request. What makes this entire situation even more frustrating is that my training was being funded through a Workers' Compensation SJDV. I am now questioning whether the voucher funds were properly administered while I was unable to complete my original cohort. I am pursuing complaints with the appropriate agencies because I believe these issues deserve independent review. My advice to prospective students: PLEASE do your homework before enrolling. Ask exactly how clinical draws are documented, how many draws you must complete, who provides your blood-draw volunteers, what happens if you're injured, how medical restrictions are handled, what happens if you fall behind, and what happens if you're unable to graduate with your cohort. Get everything in writing. HealthStaff advertises itself as providing practical, industry-focused training and says it assumes responsibility for helping students develop job-ready skills.  My personal experience did not match what I expected when I enrolled. This is my firsthand experience, and I am sharing it so prospective students can make an informed decision before investing their time, money, and career plans.
