I am filing a complaint against Health Tech Academy for deceptive practices, failure to provide promised services, and refusal to issue a refund. I enrolled in their program using a financing/loan option for $3,588, which has now increased to $4,135 with interest. I stopped payments after the company failed to deliver the services they advertised. A key requirement for certification through NCCT is completion of an externship prior to taking the certification exam. Health Tech Academy failed to provide this required externship placement. Based on reviews and my own experience, the company stops responding when students reach the externship phase. When I requested a refund due to their failure to provide externship placement, I was initially told they were "working on it." After continued follow-up, I was then told refunds are not provided for students who used financing/loans. This policy is not clearly disclosed on their website or at the time of enrollment. Shortly after, the representative blocked me and all communication stopped. I was told to contact the loan company for a refund, even though Health Tech Academy is responsible for delivering the services. Additionally, another student | personally know is experiencing the same issue-no externship placement and lack of communication. Health Tech Academy advertises externship placement and career support but is not fulfilling these obligations. This is a clear misrepresentation of services and has caused financial harm. Resolution Requested: - Full discharge of the loan balance ($4,135 reduced to $0 through American education services - Confirmation that I am no longer financially responsible for this debt - Investigation into Health Tech Academy's business practices Additional Notes: The company's actions show a pattern of misleading students and failing to deliver required program components while still enforcing financial obligations.

The platform will not load the material even though I changed browsers it still doesn't run. And I'm behind on starting the courses.

I'm very disappointed. I paid over $3000 for medical assistant program. I finished and applied for the hands on training... I was never called to start. I kept calling and emailing and NOTHING... I took the test once and didn't pass because I was so frustrated. I forgot how to schedule for another test... if I can still take it. I also asked about the paper for me to file on my tax... NOTHING... wasted my time and money... also I can't find the emails from them.

I began the Surgical Technology program at the beginning of 2025 and completed the coursework around August–September 2025. It is now March 2026, and I still have not received a clinical placement. Since completing the program, I have repeatedly reached out to the school regarding my clinical assignment. Unfortunately, responses have been very delayed, and I have been given several explanations such as holidays, hospitals being busy, or hospitals already being full with students. The school informed me that they are affiliated with many hospitals in California and provided me with a list of affiliated facilities. However, when I personally contacted the hospitals on that list, many of them stated that they are not affiliated with the program. I reported this issue to the school, but instead of receiving a clear resolution, I was told to continue reaching out again. Because of these ongoing delays, lack of communication, and the absence of real support from the program, I have requested a refund of my tuition. At this point, I simply want my money back, as the school has not been helping me resolve this issue and it has already cost me an entire year of my education. It has now been two weeks since I submitted my refund request and I have still not received a response. I would appreciate a prompt update regarding the status of my refund request.

They are scammers, They don’t do anything they promise, They block your calls after you pay your tuition in full.

no placement, i am not getting any help from anyone. their team is not experts, only coaches know things but what they share is different from the team

I am extremely disappointed with my experience in the Surgical Technician program at Health Tech Academy. While tuition was collected promptly, clinical placement support — which is required to complete the program — has been unclear, delayed, and difficult to obtain. Multiple attempts to receive concrete information about clinical rotations resulted in vague responses and no clear timeline. Without clinical hours, students cannot graduate or become eligible for certification, making this a critical part of the program. Prospective students should carefully research and get written confirmation about clinical placement assistance before enrolling. Samia Abed

Idk if I can even give you a one star review So I finished my surgical tech program in July 2025 and still struggling on my own to find a clinical hours so I can get certified there isn’t any kind of support from the school and no contact it doesn’t matter how hard you try to communicate with the career services they will not respond Over all a waste of my time and money and all the effort
