My girlfriend went to American Institute for the phlebotomy course and was super nervous but her amazing teacher Ms. Nicole not only made her feel calm and ease, she is so motherly, strong, and super knowledgeable in her studies. Throughout the semester, she ended up passing her final with a 94 top of her class! Ms. Nicole is a beacon of light in this program and I'm so thankful that my girlfriend and American Institute found someone so inspiring as her to teach phlebotomy and I hope she stays for years to come. Good teachers are the backbone of this country.

Just completed my 7 week phlebotomy course at American Institute! The staff at this school was always kind and welcoming at made me feel comfortable if I ever needed help or had any questions. Mrs. Nicole was an excellent instructor and helped me learn and understand what it takes to be a phlebotomist. She encourages all students to work hard and supports each and every one of us. I was able to pass the course and the AMCA PTC exam with flying colors and I couldn’t have done it without her as my teacher. I am truly going to miss this course and would definitely recommend this course and school to a family member or friend interested in phlebotomy with Mrs. Nicole as the instructor! I feel prepared to enter the field with everything I learned and was taught in this facility.

The admissions counselor was incredible from the very beginning — supportive, patient, and genuinely excited to help me start my journey. Every instructor and team member I’ve met has been helpful, encouraging, and dedicated to seeing us succeed. You can feel how much they care. Being a student here has given me confidence, motivation, and a sense of community that I’m really grateful for. I’m so glad I chose American Institute.
