All they want is money, be so careful!! Also very poor staff.I was”granted a scholarship” and towards the ends of classes my teachers ducked my messages about making up time on multiple platforms so I was not able to make up classes and I now have student loans even though I was granted a scholarship! Stay away!

Best school. Best expierense. They get you prepared for the hospital setting. Worth the money. I had Dr Israel, Mrs Early, Wendy and Jessie. Renee helped us so much. Even currently if we need help or have questions shes there for my husband and I who are both graduates. Seminita the owner is very caring and sweet. Miss you guys.

It was literally a wing and a prayer but somehow it happened.I enrolled in the 6 weekend course, studied hard and aced my phlebotomy externship. Next thing I knew they were offering me a job at the San Francisco AIDS foundation! Not only do I love my colleagues but I appreciate them for even taking the time to consider me. Thank you Bay Area Medical Academy for my new career .

My experience with (bay area academy) I used lower case letters for the name of the school because I feel I had no help with employment, also when jobs were posted they said if youre interested feel free to send resumes to the school and they will assist students because they are affiliated with the companies. That never happened.The resume specialist did incomplete resumes for me more than once. I finished my program EKG Technician 2017 I am still not working. I went in again October 2018 to be assisted with resume still incomplete. I was prepared for a job fair in which bay area academy was to help me prepare for, again I was told I would be called to be assisted with the pre- employment They never got back to me until after it was over. Lots of students was unsuccessful in jobs. It helps to have your own resources and connections. If you have a great resume specialist in mind that could help to.

Class training is awful and externship need to wait for too long. Benzamin is not a very helpful person and even he does not care to respond students email or phone called.

I took the weekend phlebotomy program with Ms. B. She is an amazing teacher and even though the weekend program was only 10 weekends I can say I learned all of the material necessary to become a licensed phlebotomy tech. Overall the program is worth every penny and it was very informing from the beginning to end on the process it takes to get your license.

I got lucky with having a great teacher! The training was very thorough, and the externship was very helpful. My only complaint is that BAMA GRAVELY MISLEAD me to believe that this process was short. The wait time for an externship is incredibly long, even if you can do a 2+ week one. And the state takes weeks to process your license once you are done with your paperwork. All in all, it took me about a year to get my license; and I had the luxury of doing the 3 week externship with a shortISH wait time.

I am a student of the Bay Area Medical Academy and am happy to recommend the academy to all who intend to take their careers a step further. I joined this Academy in the Phlebotomy program and am very satisfied with the education and training that I have recieved from the academy. I owe my knowledge and skill about phlebotomy to this academy. Today I am on my way to accomplishing the milestones that lay before me but am confident that very soon not only will I be able to get a job in the medical field but will also be able to make a small difference to the lives of many people who suffer from various illnesses. Phlebotomy is an important and much needed skill and Im happy and grateful to have acquired it from Bay Area Medical Academy.I saw a few one star reviews and decided to update my review. I wonder why are there some unhappy students. I only have good things to report.My instructor Ms. B did a good job of teaching us. The labs here are amazing!!! They never run out of supplies! From day one, the process was outlined really well.Karina at externship is simply amazing!!! A thorough professional. Shes very quick to respond to requests and queries and takes into consideration your needs. Amazing, amazing, amazing!!! I feel sorry for the students who havent had a fab experience but realize, its an academy and externship is doing all they can to place as may of us as they can at locations of our choice. Its not an easy task by any standard!! Follow their process to the T and its a very smooth sail. Also look deep within you.... were you on your A game? Did you miss a step in the process?Lastly, do realize that this school is relatively affordable as compared to the others out there and thats kudos to the board at BAMA whove kept this into consideration while designing a program.Overall, I am super satisfied and will come to BAMA over and over again for adding on new skills! No two ways on that one. Thank you BAMA for taking such good care of me and the other students. Eternally gateful.For the skeptics out there, I am in no way benefited from this review. I believe in giving credit where its due.

Worst company that I have never seen before. They never response your email or message. They dont care their students. All they want is MONEY! Stay away from this company and save your time and money

I gratuated from BAMA 4 years ago I totally appreciated what they did with me. When stuped Bryman college went into bankruptcy, BAMA was the only college that open the doors for us and accepted us without asking to start the MA program all over again 👏🏼
