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.

The Medical Assistant Bootcamp has been an enriching experience so far. The program's content is relevant and up-to-date, aligning perfectly with industry standards. I have had so many confusions which the coach helped me with. I thinking coach experience is a big plus and I couldnt have learnt as much without it.

I'm currently halfway through the Medical Assistant Bootcamp, and it's been a transformative journey. The program covers a wide range of topics essential for a medical assistant's role.

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 Santa Monica College. 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.
