American Harbor College is the best phlebotomy training school to go to. This post is a long…read moreoverdue since I received my diploma back in February 2021. I took the lecture portion back in summer 2020 over zoom and completed my in person training after I passed my NHA exam. After that I was sent out to complete my 40 hour externship to apply for my CPT-I license. I am so grateful to be able to meet Brian, Linn, and Mr. Castro. Not only did I learned so much phlebotomy skills, I also receive so much advice for school and career. They are the most kindest advisors and instructor that I know and I appreciate their help so much. They were patient and took their time with me and all my student peers. I was able to take a huge step into my medical journey all thanks to them. Til this day, all the tips that Mr. Castro taught me I still use for successful venipunctures. I am now currently working at an Urgent Care as a phlebotomist (and MA)!

I enrolled in this phlebotomy program and it has been one of the most unprofessional and unsafe…read moreexperiences I've ever had. The curriculum is scattered, the instructor is constantly distracted with her midwife job and checking her phone during class, and at one point she didn't even realize she hadn't shared the venipuncture video before sending us into lab. On October 1st, she didn't show up at all, and another person, Linnea, "taught" us by reading directly off a slideshow, giving unclear or incorrect answers, and providing no real guidance in lab. In lab, I personally witnessed unsafe practices: being told to draw from a swollen site after already being instructed not to, the instructor palpating after the site had already been cleaned, lack of proper tourniquet disinfection, improper PPE use, and students reusing contaminated equipment. Even the parking lot felt unsafe. A woman filmed me while I was arriving. Linnea herself has admitted she feels unsafe at this location, told us to park in a better-lit area, and even said she's afraid of someone "popping out of the bushes." When I told her about the incident of being filmed, she grabbed her keys and asked me to point out where the person went. I told her where but said it wasn't worth my energy or safety to confront the individual. Her response was "it's worth my time" and she quickly went upstairs. I stayed downstairs because I was not comfortable or safe confronting someone who had just been recording me in my car. After three days, I decided to withdraw. I sent a formal email requesting a refund (which the school's own staff confirmed I am entitled to within the time frame). Instead of addressing my email, Linnea left me a voicemail saying she found out I dropped "through the internet," which is unprofessional. She obviously received a notification that they got a one-star Yelp review, and the level of unprofessionalism is only being exacerbated by her response. This program is not safe, not professional, and not a place where students can truly learn. I cannot recommend it to anyone.

Admissions guy was really friendly and answered all my questions and walked me through the entrance process and financial aid. Everyone was really friendly and personable and the classes I saw on the tour seemed engaged. Planning on a May start, they also cross-train X-Ray Techs as Medical Assistants, so win-win.

I came in for a tour, but it just didn't feel right. The whole experience felt forced. I know it…read moresounds stupid, but some of the reasons I decided not to go with this school is because of how pushy the staff was. There were some details that turned me away, but it's too petty and ridiculous to post here at the moment. They had openings the very next month, but since classes only have 8-9 students, it's hard to believe that it wasn't full already. Although the classrooms looked cool, and I enjoyed the tour, there was this feeling like they were only after students' money and not their well-being. I guess I would have preferred speaking with one of the teachers, and not a counselor/advisor that doesn't quite have the expertise in the field. They have the limited X-ray license program for a year with morning/evening options. I forget the pricing, but I was told that many students choose this private schooling because of the community college waiting lists. Also, the presentation was extremely short and felt like it was cut short. Regardless, I would personally rather go through public education somewhere like Cypress, Mt. SAC, El Camino, LACC, etc.

I've completed the welding program and currently a plumbing student here. The instructors that work…read morehere and pretty straightforward with the students. Now, the instructor that said to not come to this school, was never a good instructor. Majority of the time from when I saw him, he was sitting in the office or trying to chop it up with the students. There's a lot more to it as well, which former students would say the same thing. He was never teaching. Instructors would come and go due to never motivating/teaching the students or even caring. Those instructors never even tried to build rapport with the students. Those instructors were the cancer to the school. I'm glad they don't work there anymore The staff now are always working, teaching and motivating. Moving forward, they're very informative and a lot of hands on work. The instructors encourage you to look for helper jobs to start getting the idea of what these jobs are like. They don't beat around the bush, they don't lie to you about how you're doing. They give you their honest opinion and show you how to correct it. I recommend this school. I started here knowing nothing about welding and now I am a welder. You will receive a certificate of completion of the school. Like I said. I am a plumbing student now and I've learned a lot from Jimmy. He also explained to us that he came from different trades. Very knowledgeable man, knows what he's doing and talking about. Zach is the night instructor from when I started and still works there as well. Also a very knowledgeable person and with a welding degree. I enjoyed and learned my first time around and I came back. I understand others had their own experiences and opinions. Take a look, take a tour of the school. Maybe you too will have a great experience like I had.

They help you understand different welding positions, and thoroughly teach you many techniques to help achieve your welding goals. Learning something new can make you frustrated with yourself at times, but with their guidance, it can be accomplished. They were also very accommodating to my full time work schedule, which made the experience even better. After about 5 1/2 months & only a few days a week, I received my 3G/4G welding certification. I can't thank these guys enough. Very professional group of men with great communication and very understanding. I highly recommend CTM for anyone looking to enter the welding trade.

This is a long overdue review! I highly recommend this school for all prospective CNA students…read more There were many schools to choose from and I am SO GLAD I chose this one! First, it's the most affordable school on the list of ACCREDITED CNA schools. In addition they have both day and night classes to accommodate your needs as a working student. Second, the amount of hands-on training is incomparable to other schools I looked into. They truly prepare you for your state exam which explains their high testing scores! Besides that the instructors are kind, helpful, and will challenge you to push yourself to excel! Lastly, the MVP is the director of the schools itself Dr. Kal! This man is a father figure to us students! It's been almost 6 months since we graduated and he still contacts our class for job opportunities available and updates about maintaining our license! He truly cares for his students success DURING and AFTER your program! And he's funny!! Overall, I can't recommend this school enough, I've told numerous students about this school and will continue to do so!
