This program is amazing! I was placed in my externship the week after I requested to be placed. Judy is very straightforward about how the program is laid out and that's something I really appreciated. read more

Although the classes were easy and Judy was an absolute sweetheart, it honestly feels like I was ripped off. No one will hire me with the experience I have from this and the externship. When I asked the school for help, they sent me an outdated list of "job leads" in which half of the sites did not work, and most of the others weren't hiring. When I tried to give input about this, and ask for any tips about how to get employed, I was ignored. This place seems more interested in your money rather than interested in helping students in their journey to a real job. read more

If your looking for a phlebotomy school that won't rip you off and will guide you through the whole process, this the school you want to go to. Judy and Veronica are very helpful and always willing to answer your questions. One of the main reasons you should go to this school is because they will schedule your clinical as soon as possible as long as you are comfortable and ready to be out on the field. Other schools will put you on a waitlist for your externship that might take from 4-6 months due to not having enough clinics to send you to but Wagners as multiple clinics that they will schedule you from 1-2 weeks even sooner. In my experience they always made sure I was understanding everything that they were teaching and always willing to take time to explain any question I had. This review was made by Jose Luis Garcia :) read more

I went there years ago had an issue with the location they had sent me I could not get all my sticks there wasted 3 days finally after speaking to Judy I was sent to a place that I could get all my sticks. Years later Sent my son there as well and he to had issues but his was not resolved. Veronica who is extremely rude, unhelpful , unprofessional getto is the only one answering and taking messages. I have tried many times to reach Judy but Veronica will never transfer me to her. Only takes messages and after 6 months of calling I've given up in trying to reach Judy. Very unprofessional place. read more

Wagner training institute is literally the best place ever. Judy and Veronica are the sweetest and most helpful people I've come in contact with in a long time. Unfortunately i made the worst mistake going to stupid AUMT phlebotomy institute and they never helped me register my state license (from the information aumt gave me I misunderstood , and I thought my NHA was my STATE license) I called Wagner institute and Judy helped me even though I'm not her student. Without Judy & Veronica I would not have an active STATE phlebotomy license, they legit turned my tears into the biggest smile I will forever appreciate them. This place is 10/10 , 100% perfect , no doubt about it the best place to get your phlebotomy license. DO YOURSELF A FAVOR & PICK WAGNER FOR YOUR PHLEBOTOMY SCHOOL. *side note* they gave me like 20 brand new pens & a Jamba Juice gift card just because they're so sweet read more

Just finished the course here this month , absolutely loved it ! I definitely recommend this place. All the instructors are wonderful, Veronica and Judy are extremely helpful. It was quick and affordable. As soon as the course ended I started my clinicals the next day and the site was just as wonderful . I'm glad I choose to come to here instead of anywhere else . Thought it was too good to be true at first lol but it's definitely a great place. read more

I graduated from WTI in 2009, since then I have been working as a Licensed Phlebotomist. Judy is not only the owner, she goes into every class and answers any questions you have, she also allows her students to go into her office and refresh their skills as needed. 8 years later i now have the privilege to work side by side with one of my classmates and dear friend at a Trauma Hospital, Iam beyond greatful and blessed to have found WTI years ago. Thank you Judy. read more

See all

I was a stay at home Mom for the last 5 years. I missed working with a team and knew I wanted to go back to school. I was so unsure of trade school options. To ease my misunderstanding, I researched and spoke to several schools before speaking to Judy Wagner in January of 2018. I Enrolled at WTI in April of 2018. I obtained my CPT1 and was resume/interview ready July 2018. I unfortunately had to decline an offered Mobile Phlebotomy Position in August 2018. As of December 2018, I am a CPT1 at Octapharma Plasma, collect Plasma and saving lives! If Judy offered more courses of trade, I would enroll. She is the best! Her team is best and she expects the best of each student that walks into her Institution. read more

This school was amazing I can't thank the staff anymore . Judy was amazing she hand walks you threw any issues you have . No other school cares about your success like this . They literally hand walk you threw each section unlike other schools. They give you plenty of stick practice unlike any other school I know of . The staff made everything so easy . I recommend purchasing the practice test online prior to taking your test online. Basically if you don't pass this course you weren't really even trying it's that easy to pass . I am a mother of twins and passed my first time testing. Without Judy's guidance I couldn't of done it . They go above and beyond in each step to get you where you want to be . I am now a phlebotomist and I am so proud to say I graduated from Wagner . read more

I would like to start off by saying this "school" is a joke and only wants to take your money. They are basically a scam. BOTH Veronica and Judy are rude display favoritism, are very stereotypical, and are not careful with the rude words they say. When you ask for help they don't "have time" but spend most of the time gossiping in the office instead of helping their students. This program is short and yet there's a long list of complaints. This school does not offer an adequate "break space". But yet we get yelled and scolded like 2 year olds not to drop water on her carpet because it cost money to clean. The reason I say judy only cares about the money is because she has told students the faster you pay the faster you will get placed in clinical. I have been given the run around multiple times by Veronica with clinical I have been told come back to practice and she would speak with me regarding clinical well I have done just that and when it's time to speak with me the response I get is "I don't have time today come back another time" now she is saying I won't have a clinical rotation for 3 more months! Judy will basically yell at you for using her supplies she's very frugal with the supplies given to practice, but if we PAID for this course don't you think we should have access to as much material and supplies needed. And then if you aren't doing it to "HER" standards she will say nasty things like " oh you must me a nurse because nurses don't know how to draw blood". Words like that can be extremely discouraging and almost a form of harassment. I am extremely upset I am wasting my money on this ridiculous program I should have gone elsewhere but now it's too late and I have to wait on them to receive my clinical so I can be done with them. I will be making a small claims report against them for the way those two are running this program. I hope this review is taken seriously and If you're considering this program please don't take this review lightly because this is what you will endure with Judy and Veronica read more

Great phlebotomy program, especially since they are weekend classes. Transparent about what they offer and all the costs. Highly suggest for anyone having to work on the weekdays. Passed my certification test first go. read more

Feeling drab and weary about your present career? Well, don't sit there staring at a tree for that fruit to drop and land on your hands! Enroll at Wagner Training Institute and be an awesome phlebotomist. This school will provide and equipped those who hunger and thirst for knowledge. The classes are fun, entertaining and above all developed for one to become a confident phlebotomist. Justin and Dave are 5 star instructors! The staff led by Diane is helpful. Most of all, Judy , the owner is amiable and acts as a doting mother to all students. My experienced in this school as a student had been fruitful, encouraging and motivating. Thank you Wagner Training Institute! - Alf Mendoza ( Big Bear City, CA) read more

The two male instructors are awesome. The front desk lady can be a little short tempered...granted she does deal with a multitude of teens, but still. The lady in charge of everything is quite the enthusiast. As for the program itself- it's expensive. There are a few out there that are cheaper. However, this program schedule allows for those who can't commit to weekday courses to complete it on the weekends. The drawback on this is that it might take a while to finish. The facility? Clean. Supplies, ample. Practice time, good. Clinical sites, superb. Do they help you find a job? No. This is a school. The rest is on you! read more

If you are looking to change your career and are scared of choosing the wrong school then you have come to the right place!!! CHOOSE WAGNER!! Wagner is not only reasonably priced and has a fast track program, they truly care about their students success! From the owner to the instructors, they are there for you every step of the way. The book work is outlined in a way that is easy to comprehend and they offer lots of hands on training. I am so happy I chose to attend Wagner and have already referred friends and family and am ready for the next chapter of my life thanks to this amazing course! read more

I love this school! The instructors, staff and owner are very helpful and knowledgeable. They guide you every step of the way. Judy Wagner answered all my questions and concerns. She was very helpful when I went to apply for my state lisence. She is very knowledgeable and very caring to all her students. She makes sure you do things the right way and gives you advice and pointers on how to apply for jobs. I love that she is very straight forward. This school gave me the confidence I needed. I enjoyed going to stick practice because there was always an instructor guiding us. They don't rush you to do the clinicals. They allow you to go as many times to practice to get the skill down. Once I went to clinicals I already had the skills I needed and was able to complete my hrs with no problem and pass my exam with a high score! I wish I can do the school all over again because I truly enjoyed it! And know that even after you are finished with the school you can always call if you need guidance the staff and Judy are always there to help you! read more

As of today I'm officially a licensed CPT 1! This school is the best for those who go to school or work during the week as the classes are on the weekends. Not only that but the course is completely flexible when it comes time to do your externship and schedule your exam. It's completely at your own pace and only when you're ready to go to the next step. I'm lucky to have been referred to by a friend to this school. All the instructors are great and very knowledgeable on the curriculum. They do a great job explaining the lectures and going over anything that may be confusing and they'll provide you with a study guide for the exam! When it came to clinicals, I went to as many stick practices as I could during the week and Veronica and Judy really helped build my confidence with my draws. This place sets you up for success but you have to work for it! Don't expect it to be easy but don't let that discourage you, the people here want nothing but the best for your career. I highly recommend going here if you're thinking about going into phlebotomy. I did the commute and it was worth it! read more

This school helped me get a job quickly after my last Tech school screwed me with Student Loan debt and no career to show for it. I got my Phlebotomy license in 2013 thanks to all the Teachers and great Clinical Placement. THANK YOU SO MUCH read more

After searching high and low for a good Phlebotomy school it was refreshing to find a school that was legitimate and actually cares about their students. If you're looking for a phlebotomy school and are losing hope because of all the sketchy ones, go here! Justin is a great instructor and super funny! read more

Loved how the instructors made it enjoyable and easier to understand on certain subjects. They really build up your confidence to do the work nice and clean. There were practice test that are very helpful to study for and a great guide to pass your test. Everyone here is very thoughtful, nice and extremely helpful. I had this ongoing little problem that I want to share with you guys. When submitting my application to the state, Judy and her staff seriously went above and beyond correcting my application and helping me take care of the issue (keep in mind it was a mistake on my end and they help fix the problem). They kept up with me every morning to check the status and also to fax or email documents for me to the state!! Now and days you don't get that kind of generosity. At the end of the each class level you get a questioner survey, you can voice your concerns or comments on that as well. Over all Judy has a great team by her side and this is great schooling to get your phlebotomy training done in the one month time frame! Schooling itself was def enjoyable and instructors and staff are so funny and make it easy to understand to educational course. read more

This institute is awesome. They guide you every step of the way. I was so scared of needles before attending and now I'm over that fear! Everyone is a big help there. read more

Currently taking a phlebotomy class here. They have excellent teachers. They spend time on the subject until the students get it.

A very amazing phlebotomy school w/ very amazing staff & instructors! Most definitely will recommend to others :) Love Judy & Dianna their awesome read more

I just finished the course for the month of May and can say that I truly feel that Wagner is the best place to learn if you want to be a phlebotomist! The instructors Justin and Dave are amazing, and knowledgeable. I feel very confident in the skills that they have taught me. I would definitely recommend this course to friends and family! read more

Really enjoy class,the teachers are great they make learning fun. The owner has a wonder sense of humor as well. No complaints! Try Wagner as your first choice. read more

This is a wonderful program that I would recommended to anyone. Wonderful staff and instructors who make learning fun!! (:

I enjoyed my experience here, and if you're thinking of enrolling, you will too! So give it a try and also share your thoughts here afterwards. read more

I am more of a hands on learner, so attending this school was really nice for me. The instructor's make the class time fun and interesting. Everyone there seems to love their Jobs, but most importantly they also love to teach. I truly recommend this school it's worth the money and the time. They did their part to teach me, so now I can do my part by going out into the world with the knowledge and experience to find a job. Thanks to the whole staff!!! read more

I thoroughly enjoyed my education here at Wagner! The instructors know their stuff and have been working in the field. Judy, the owner, really cares about her students. She's direct and gives you all the information and tips you need to be successful. I felt so comfortable going into my clinical with the practice we got in class and weekly student practice sessions. The more effort you put into your class time and practice sessions at Wagner the more it pays off afterwards. You can go to as many practice sessions as you need to before your clinical to make sure you feel prepared. I could. It have made a better decision to go to Wagner! read more

This place is a joke. The only thing the owner Judy cares about is money. I was the best student hands down in my class and she held me back from going to my clinicals every chance she got. She would play games with me and offer me a site and then say oh you took too long to answer. Finally I took the NHA exam and scored almost perfect. Two years later I still don't have a job doing phlebotomy because that license doesn't mean a damn thing. Save your money and go get a nursing license. Unless you want know nothing and do grunt work like CNA's and MA's. read more

I would definitely refer people to this school classes were fun and very informative being out of school for over four years this school has made me remember how fun school and learning can be read more

Excellent training course for Phlebotomy. All of the staff members are very friendly and knowledgable :-)

Not complaints at all , school is all at your own pace. You have the luxury of completing on weekends and going through with clinicals when you're ready. Everyone is extremely helpful and helped make the material fun. As for the price , one of the best prices I had looked up for phlebotomy schools. Id highly recommend this institute. read more

Great school with wonderful staff. Convenient class schedule and they work with you. They walk you through the whole process. Enjoyed my journey with them every step of the way. Judy and Diana are the best. read more
