Success Stories from our Students

Amazing
Hello, I’m new to the program but not new to the heath care field. In choosing to advance in my career, I’ve researched various schools. When I came across HTA, I called with a ton of questions prior to signing up. Staff made me feel increasingly confident in my decision to move forward, and thus far my experience has been exceptional! Jasmine and Adarsh are Amazing. They’re patient, knowledgeable and willing to assist. With a first impression like that, I am certain I’ve chosen the right program to complete my certification as a Surg Tech! Thank you for your time.
