Star Career Academy

Star Career will seem like the perfect place to learn your trade. It’s all a haux! Of course unless you’re a day time student!!!
I attend Star Career Academy and am currently on my externship. I am a 4.0 student, passed my CMA test on the first try and am placed in by far thee worse site ever!!! They don’t really take into consideration the life struggles of a night student having a 9 – 5 and attending school 6 – 10. They only find sites which will place you between the hours of 9 and 5, if you need to meet with staff members it is prior to 5, if you need to speak to the school director you are on wait for hrs (my current situation) I am placed at an externship site where I do more hospitality and maintenance than I do Medical Assistance. Some of what I have been practicing at my externship I never even learned in school… I have requested a transfer to a site where I am going to learn and grow from … I’m 50 hrs into my externship and I have yet to hear back from SCA in regards to any progress.
SCA will make it seem as if you are the priority until you have begun your course and then you only become a priority to financial aid for your monthly payments.
Do not attend the evening course for medical course at this school.

I was briefly interested in one of their programs until I learned it was not accredited. I told them I was no longer interested. Then a couple of their staff called me at least ten times. That is not an exaggeration. I needed to call one of their administrators to make the calls stop.

I graduated in 2012. I was the top of my class with an A average and a 100% attendance record.
My teachers were excellent.
The courses teach you everything you need to know to pass your certification tests. I passed both of my certification exams on the first attempt before I even graduated.
Unfortunately, this school accepts students who are disruptive, destructive and dangerous. They are permitted to run amok with no penalty. Be prepared for daily drama. Academically, they will pass anybody, sharply devaluing the diploma you earn there. This school is poorly administrated.
Once you have graduated, there are no jobs in the field you have studied. There are no Phlebotomy jobs, Surgical Tech jobs, Medical Assistant jobs or Cardiology Tech jobs unless you have 3 years of experience. There is a person who’s primary purpose is to find students jobs. I have not gotten one interview. Nobody else from my class has gotten an interview. If you need a job and are serious about the medical field this is not the answer. Go to community college.
