Slides held very valuable information. Materials, such as study guides and quizzes helped along the way. Very self Explanatory. Easy navigation throughout the program.

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.

This program is very flexible, with a website that was easy to navigate and coaches that were very helpful. I highly recommend Robin Crims as a coach, she always answered my questions and made sure that I understood concepts. I appreciated the layout of the course topics, starting with basic principles and finishing with studying surgeries in detail. All the links and videos were very helpful. Obviously with an online course comes a lack of hands on practice, but my only problem with this course was how the skills validation part of each unit was graded by AI. I felt like there were times where I didn't pass on the first try, got a new prompt, answered in the same way and ended up passing. This program definitely does well of covering a lot of material within a 14 week time span.

It was easy to enroll and at a price that beats the other schools

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
