The Surgical Technologist Bootcamp
The Surgical Technologist Bootcamp online was really useful. The coursework was clear and to follow, and the instructors were always there to answer any questions. Health Tech Academy made sure I was well-prepared for my future job.
Ava Mia April 08, 2024
  • 2023 was a rough year for me. I lost a lot but I also gained a lot. I desperately needed to start working, but I wanted to spend my time on starting a career and not working a typical 9-5 that I won’t grow in or be happy in. I decided to do research and stumbled upon Health Tech Academy. I gave them a call and I was very happy to know that it was at my own pace and I could get finished as quickly as I was capable. The only other thing I needed to figure out was the financial aspect of it, I was nervous about that. Luckily, there was an affordable payment plan! Because I have health care knowledge already, I was happy to see that I got through the program very quickly and was satisfied with the learning experience.
