Not only did the class prepare me well for the certification exam and hands-on phlebotomy experience, but the staff was nothing less than exceptional. Brian and Linn go above and beyond for their students and Mr. Castro provided me with the confidence and reassurance I needed during hands-on practice.

Brian and Linn have been amazing throughout the entire process and always having my best interest in mind, helping me achieve all the goals I desired. I know I have made long-term connections here and recommend anyone thinking about phlebotomy programs to come to AHC.

Currently the hyperbaric safety director at Life Hyperbarics in Stanton and a member of Dive Rescue International as a Public Safety Diver.

Working as a wound care technician I decided to further my education as a phlebotomist to be able to help doctors and other healthcare practitioners gain the insight needed to make important healthcare decisions about patient treatment plans.

When I was looking into different phlebotomy schools I knew AHC was the right choice because apart from the staff showing professionalism they value and care for their students.

Certainly a great decision and since then we have formed a strong relationship. My long term goal is to enhance my phlebotomy experience and In the near future become a forensic phlebotomist as a Public Safety Diver.

He knew the answers to all my questions, and he understood my daughter’s need for phlebotomy school; that it is both a stepping stone into the medical field and contributes to nursing school application points. He was knowledgable throughout the whole process and had other helpful information for us as well.

The teachers were so nice and excited about seeing their students succeed. They have small class sizes making it easier when asking questions and to get one on one time with the teachers. I can say after my daughters schooling and externship with American Harbor College, she was able to confidently pass the national exam and is now a licensed phlebotomist.

AHC was there to help with getting paperwork and forms processed until she received her license from the state of California. I would highly recommend AHC. Great customer service! Great Team! Great school!

I am currently working at a Level II trauma hospital as a phlebotomist. I enjoy working there because it’s very fast paced and I’ve been in situations where I’ve had stressed and agitated patients & I’ve had to remain calm to be able to talk to the patient and explain what I will be doing step by step and hopefully, that will make them feel more comfortable.

My experience at American harbor college was great. The enrollment process was smooth. Brian answered all my questions that I had before enrolling and helped me with job applications once I received my license. Mr. Castro was my instructor and he was very helpful during lecture and hands on training. I felt well prepared for my exam and took it a few days after the last lecture.

I am currently in nursing school so having this skill and experience under my belt is going to benefit me in the long run.

The teachers Mr. Castro and Mr. Hernandez have a combined experience of about 60 years in Phlebotomy so they know a lot!! I have a degree in Science and can honestly say Mr. Castro and Mr. Hernandez are on par if not above the teachers at my university. The class sizes are small which means you get a thorough explanation of anything you’re unsure of without being afraid to speak up.

They are very reasonably priced too. This school deserves hundreds of 5 star reviews. I just can’t fault it. Thanks Lynn, Brian, Mr. Castro and Mr. Hernandez!

I’m in the last night of my 2 week course here. I am SO glad I found this program. Not only are they very reasonably priced, but Brian and Lynn are so friendly and accommodating. When one of the students was struggling to find a vein, Lynn came into the class and let her practice on her! If this doesn’t show you that the staff is dedicated to the success of their students, I don’t know what does. Mr. Castro is an awesome professor. I feel very prepared and the lectures were interesting with a lot of laughs. The class size is small and we all got to know each other in a relaxed atmosphere. I would highly recommend this program.

Also – they will let you come back to sit for lecture and practice venipuncture even after the class is over if you’re not yet comfortable. I’m very impressed.

I absolutely loved my American Harbor College experience. It is definitely a top institution in my books. Unfortunately, I feel that it may sometimes get overlooked/ underrated. People have this preconception that a university should be GRAND in name and LARGE in stature, but Socrates was one the most influential educators in history and his school wasn’t composed of 50+ classes.

All you need is a good instructor, place to meet, helpful staff, a laboratory, and your license is but a few short weeks away! Exactly what you should expect from this program.

That being said, your experience at American Harbor College (and in life in general) is up to you — you determine your path and what you take from it.
This program took me on a fantastic journey of self-discovery. I started out determined to just get in, get out, and find a place to work. Instead I found myself making friends with my class mates, working on my resume with the career advisor, Nadesha, and having many chats with Brian the program director (Great guy! Super friendly! Makes you want to hug him every time he says hi!)

There were some students that spent a majority of their time grumbling and complaining at every opportunity possible. “This is too hard” .. “There is too much reading to do…” ……

You’d be surprised how many adults do not comprehend the fact that YOU ARE GETTING A LICENCE TO STICK NEEDLES INTO PEOPLE…THERE WILL BE A FAIR AMOUNT OF WORK…

And it has nothing to do with having a background in science. More than half of my class had no degree in biology, but they put in the effort to learn the required material. They came to class early to practice on the mannequins. They stayed late after class (with the instructor) and continued to refine the areas they were struggling in… and few weeks later.. they were certified and deserving of their certification for that matter.

This is an accelerated program; it requires hard work and dedication. The staff at American Harbor College are here to help you succeed and they will give you all the attention you need, whether you’re in a class of 5 or 25! No one will be neglected.

Just remember, you need to be a helpful student. If a few dates change along the way regarding the off-campus training site…. Well buddy guess what.. this is a FACT of medicine. Hospitals and clinic may encounter turbulence with staffing. Or the student before you may need an extra day or two to finish before you can take their place. Don’t blame the school for what is NOT in their hands to control! Be patient and work with the school to help them, help you succeed.

I am very grateful to have attended such a wonderful program. I am now a licensed phlebotomist and it is all thanks to you.

Thank you American Harbor College

When choosing a school for phlebotomy, it was crucial to attend a school with a nationally certified program as well as friendly staff. After checking out a couple of other schools, I decided American Harbor College was the right fit for me, and I certainly was very pleased! The instructor, was very knowledgeable and was always more than happy to answer any questions I had. Brian, Linnea, and Asher were also very amiable and attentive to my needs. I would definitely recommend this school!

I was really stressed out when I first came to American Harbor College because I didn’t know what to expect. But thanks to a excellent staff and teachers it was a great learning relaxing and great learning experience.

Brian (vice president) was a nice and gave me a tour of the campus the first day when I went for my orientation. The next week when our class started I was very excited to start because of how great and nice our instructor Arpi was.

She was very caring towards all of the student, she thought us everything In a slow and understandable pace. And for the NHA test (the board exam) Arpi had a review sheet and went over everything we needed to know and pass our NHA with confidence!

Overall my experience at American Harbor College was great thanks to all the excellent staff and teachers. I would recommend American Harbor College!
