I was in the Medical Assisting program while I was at MTECH, and I loved it. My favorite thing from the class was the phlebotomy aspect of it. Drawing blood was very fun to me and it’s something I decided to take further and am now working toward being certified as a Phlebotomist as well. I am now working as an MA and I feel like I was well prepared from taking the program at MTECH.

Mountainland Technical College was the perfect fit. As a mom of nine, I needed to be wise with my time. With the open enrollment, I was able to choose a class that fit into my busy schedule without missing out on family events. My instructors are amazing, the small class size make learning optimal.
