If I could give them 0stars I would they are a fraudulent company. I waisted my time and they will answer the phone until you are enrolled then boom it takes months to get in touch with them ! When I finally got back in contact with them I had completed my course then when it was time for my certification test they wanted me to pay after I was told that my student loan was to cover that. Also it was so long after I completed my course I asked to take a practice exam and that was it I never heard anything else from them !!!! RUN don't waste your time or your money with this company !!! I’m currently in the process of suing them!!!!! ( That is how bad it is !!!)

Adam was extremely polite and helpful
Adam was extremely polite and helpful. He answered all my questions and has been on top of my process.
I decided to go with HTA due to the time to complete the program as well as the price. You do not incur in debt or need student loans.

Needs some improving
I liked the self paced aspect of the course. It would benefit from having more videos on the education provided. The nurse who spoke at the beginning of each session was helpful in underlining the points in each section but having more videos within the sections about detailed information would be more helpful. I found it difficult to only have slides that I read on VERY basic information on each topic. I found myself referring to the book and basically self teaching. Luckily with the previous healthcare knowledge I have I still think I got enough from the course to succeed in the specialty.

I had an excellent experience
I had an excellent experience in the Surgical Tech program at Health Tech Academy. The program was well-structured, thorough, and designed to truly prepare students for the real demands of the operating room. The instructors were knowledgeable, supportive, and always willing to take the time to explain concepts clearly.
What stood out most was how practical and career-focused the training was—from sterile technique and instrumentation to exam prep and job readiness. I felt confident and well prepared by the time I completed the program.
Health Tech Academy genuinely cares about student success, and it shows in the quality of instruction and support provided throughout the program. I would absolutely recommend this program to anyone serious about becoming a Surgical Technologist.

Career Services Team is TERRIBLE
1. I enrolled for Pharmacy Technician Program. This program was very sufficient and diligent. I give the program a 7/10 since it is a go at your own pace program.
2. Payment Plan is absolutely absurd. I recommend paying in full or do not enroll at all. I took the payment plan route, every month I receive 2 invoices. One for the program I am enrolled in, and the other for a program I am NOT enrolled in.
3. Communication and hearing back from almost ALL the departments are ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE. I’ve been contacting the finance department since I started in October of 2025. It is now January 2026 and I’m still receiving double the invoices. They did reach out before the holidays to confirm I would no longer receive the additional invoices but it was fruitless. I STILL receive them for a program I AM NOT ENROLLED IN.
4. I can’t put frustration into words strong enough to describe how infuriating the coaches are. I can say, Miss. Lakeisha is THE BEST lady to have on your team. She’s active, attentive and constructs dilligent meetings EVERY TIME. Now, the career coaches who help build your LinkedIn accounts, resume and career prospects and preparation are TERRIBLE. THE WORST PEOPLE. I’ve had TWO who has consistently showed up late10-15mins for our 30 minute sessions without communication. I’ve had one completely not show up. The other lady, Miss Nayab, had one completed session with me, the second session connection was terrible, she had absolutely NO recollection of our FIRST meeting. It seemed she had NO NOTES or even remembrance of our first career meet. The Second Lady, Miss Malika completely ghosted me and never contacted me to reschedule our meeting AFTER expressing to her my poor experience with Miss Nayab prior.
My advice, stay disciplined and focused with your work. YouTube and peers will be your best friend to prepare you for interviews, professional growth, practicing how you speak and annunciate, learning studying habits and giving yourself 3-4 hours daily to work on the chapters and study. The career coaches are not reliable. Miss Lakeisha was hands down the BEST coach I could ever ask for. She gave me amazing feedback and advice on how to advance my career and prepare me for the PTCB exam at the end of the pharmacy technician program.

This school
This school becomes no responsive after they receive the tuition. I have two students enrolled into the surgical tech program. The school called constantly to get them enrolled. Once they received the tuition they stopped answering calls only emails at an average of 5 days of waiting on a response. The students completed the program but there are no clinical sites. It's been 6 mths since the Studenta finished and still don't have a clinical sites. Malika Heider, Career Service advisor is working with the students now to try and obtain a clinical site but it takes a minimum of 5 days for a response back which continues to delay the process of the students completing their clinicals. I don't know who to speak to and get help regarding these two students.
