E & S Academy — Local services in Elizabeth

School is a scam..the other locations are probably scammers as well..I was looking for a school to take my Phlebotomy course that will also provide employment opportunities. I called multiple schools & asked about the program, payment plans, & employment opportunities. I chose E&S Academy in Elizabeth, which I regret doing because it's a rip-off. Before choosing the school I asked them do they provide employment opportunities and they said yes. I asked again when I made a deposit, & I asked again when I had to come in to give them copies of 2 forms of ID. Each time I asked I received the same answer "yes". They even have flyers at their facility stating employment opportunities. Once I finished my program & successfully obtained my Certification the school went ghost. They did not provide employment opportunities. First they said they provide guaranteed job placement, then they switched it to guaranteed interviews, & then switched back to saying they actually provide job placement. They actually provided NOTHING, but a sheet of paper of job listings with old addresses & phone #'s. If I wanted a job listing I could just go on Indeed for actual up-to-date listings. Myself & fellow classmates were also promised letters of recommendations and we have not received a response. I ONLY chose this school for the price and because they constantly kept saying that they provide employment opportunities. This school is a scam & they also hold your money when they don't even have instructors to teach the class. They just tell you the class has been pushed back without stating the reason. This school needs to be put on blast for false advertisement........& YES Annabelle I did all of that..my fellow classmates as well..you should communicate w/ your staff before replying..I communicated via phone & in-person w/ them multiple times after graduating..all y'all gave us was a sheet of paper w/ job listings w/ old addresses & #'s which I told your staff about & there was no solution from y'all...I was told I would receive an updated list..which never happened..nor did they notify the rest of the students about the old list..I AM THE ONE that notified my classmates ..On God y'all went ghost in "helping" us after graduating whether y'all want to admit it or not & continue to put on this show..My fellow classmates are also my witnesses if y'all want to continue w/ y'all act..& btw saying that if your “students can’t find employment they reach out to the school” just goes to show that job placement is not included in the school.. if it was included students wouldn’t even have to be searching or have difficulties..so make it make sense before replying..how about you ask your staff who did they help with job placement for the January Phlebotomy class..& then get back to me cause the answer will be NONE..they helped NONE of us w/ job placement..& NONE of us have a job as a Phlebotomists..y’all are a scam..point,blank,period..& y’all can continue w/ the fake reviews from y’all staff & associates..& it’s crazy how when my fellow classmates & I reached out for help in January/February nobody wanted help nor did you ever pop up to help.. so stop calling me emailing me NOW to “help” just because I put y’all on blast..I graduated January it’s April..Stop the act..cause karma gonna hit y’all in y’all pockets..since all y’all care about is money..y’all scammed...

Just completed my Phlebotomy course in the evening, with Ms. Reyonalds, and I have to say that she is a great teacher! She has a really good way of teaching and helped us a lot. On the other hand, I just think 4 weeks for this program is not enough, since we need to practice and have volunteers (which sometimes are not easy to come by). The school needs to have uniforms available to give to the students at least in the first week of class! In my case, we only got them at the end of the second week and for some students, they weren't the correct sizes that were ordered. The text books aren't given to us, they are lent and used. A lot of the times we weren't able to practice because we didn't have the gloves we asked for, more than once! And some of the drawing tubes were expired (the coagulation tubes) which lead sometimes to failure of the blood collection, due to loss of vaccum. Overall, I had a good experience with my teacher and classmates, but there is some room for improvement in...

If you love the medical field there is no way you will not like this course. The staff goes above and beyond to help anyone who is willing to help themselves advance in their career. Instructor Alex is so passionate at teaching it's near impossible for anyone to fail! I received my certificate in Medical Assistant but soon after went a different direction for work. I decided to change career paths back into the medical field but had no previous experience other than my school and externship so I decided to take a course to add it onto my resume and phlebotomy was the best choice for me because it was my most favorable class in my MA course. I just took my final exam today and passed it! Now hopefully with some letters of recommendations and an updated resume I will be on my way to a new beginning for myself! I am so excited to begin...
