Regan Career Institute

I recently took the phlebotomy course and was impressed with everything from the office staff to the physician teaching the course. The entire program is geared towards preparing you for the national exam. The office staff and teachers are very helpful and accommodating. They have over a 90% passing rate and I understand why after taking the course. The teacher is a physician and explains phlebotomy using simple examples that make you understand and absorb the material. If you are looking for a phlebotomy course and are debating where to go look no further!

I took phlebotomy, CNA & EKG tech classes here while I am in RN nursing school. Definitely Regan’s classes helped me a lot to be a better nurse now. Great instructors and staffs, I still contact them to say hi. You won’t regret to take classes here. Of course it is tough classes, but they will make you better person at work!!!

This is the best school for phlebotomist training. I read reviews on a lot of schools for phlebotomy. This is the only one that caught my attention. Its really close to where I live. Everyone is extremely nice especially Mr. Lee, Louie, Marilu… overall, all employees are there for u if u need help and very professional. All are very knowledgeable… If you have any questions, they are there for you. Don’t be afraid to call and askit’s only a two weekend class… Can’t beat that. U will get all the training you need to start off your new career. All is provided for you. Books /​uniforms .just remember to read ahead of times… They also provide a very clear syllabus for youthere are quizzes, honestly if you read the chapters, you will be fine. The teacher is very knowledgable on all the subjects and beyond. This is the right place for you if you want professionals teaching you. I will be glad to answer any questions. Just write me a post. good luck.

They have a great curriculum for the course in medical career field. And all the staffs of the school are wonderful. Regan Career Institute is eager to help your success in your profession. They really open the door for my new gate of my life. You can trust them and depending on them!

Love regan! Very fast paced courses but pay attention, take notes & study, study, study.

Everyone can benefit from attending Regan Career Institute.
Those instructing classes are super qualified, either a family doctor or cardiologist, among others.
Those teaching clinical skills have the expertise needed to teach a large group and even the sensitivity to teach those privately requiring additional help.
The school screams hospitality by providing amenities for breakfast, a break room, microwave, and many ready to help serve you.
Mr. Lee and the team really care about your success and everything they do is done with that in mind.
I would come back to attend this school any day.
I want to be a doctor and I benefited immensely from sitting under the teachings of those involved.
Regan Career Institute gets 5 stars!

I have graduated the certified Phlebotomy training course with Reagan Institute in February, and I must say I am very impressed. The quality of the course material is top-​notch, the trainers are very knowledgeable and friendly, and the pace of the course is well structured and balanced between theory and practice.
I wanted to say a warm Thank you to Mr. Julian Lee and to all other personnel at Reagan Institute for their professionalism and friendliness. Their dedication to help others building a career is paramount; I am recommending these classes to anyone wanting a solid career in healthcare.

I took the phlebotomy course and had a great experience. It really helps prepare you to be a successful phlebotomist. It might seem a bit pricy, but you get what you pay for. You are provided scrubs, a trinket that has blood draw order on it, they help you set up your state test to take at the end of the course (not sure how many other programs provide that), they help you step by step get your externship started and apply for your certification from the state.
The staff is great. Mr Lee is very insightful about the field and technique; is super nice. Marilu has a sweet, pleasant personality and is always so helpful in getting you started with all the paperwork to sign up for the course and getting started on your externship. Nestor is extremely helpful and knowledgable about the technicalities of registering for the state exam and applying for your certificate from the state, once you’ve completely all the requirements. Louie, for the practical portion, has a lot of hands on experience with patient care and blood draws. He will drill you to make sure that you perform correct and excellent technique, so that you will be prepared when you do your externship and start working as a phlebotomist. Dr B, being an MD, is highly knowledgable and presents the information as straight forward as possible. For those with little to no experience with anatomy/​physiology or the medical field, the course material can be a bit overwhelming, but just plan on using your whole 2 weekends only for studying.
I highly recommend this program over others!

I attended here for my Phlebotomy license. Mr. Lee is very helpful. Louie is so straight forward and tells you how its gonna be. If you need help, do not hesistate to ask! They will help in anyway they can! You will start drawing blood on the first day. Yes you do practice on each other so dont be scared. It was an awesome experince and i know this is the start of an amazing career! Thank you guys so much for everything!
Tips: READ READ READ! and take lots of notes!

A friend told me about this place that has a phlebotomy program. After months of procrastination I decided to give this place a call. Signing up was quick and easy. The staff here is super nice and will help you out with everything. The instructors are very knowledgeable and skilled in their craft. Hours are long, but they seem to go by quickly because it can be very entertaining at times (they are quite amusing). Super fast paced program, but anyone is able to do well if you put in the time to study. I would definitely recommend coming in to check this place out if you are thinking of getting into phlebotomy. Free donuts in the morning too!

I picked this place based on the amazing reviews and the fact that this is the only course that provided a fast paced two week didactic course (2 weeks only Friday, Saturday and Sunday). The reviews were completely true in that they are definitely fast paced and jam packed with information. The instructor Dr. B is amazing. He is so informative and knowledgeable. He presents the information in a way that makes you really get it and remember it. I will be honest in that I have been taught about the heart so many times and could never remember the information, but the diagram he showed us and the lecture he gave (along with so many others) made me really remember it. Now every time I have a question about the heart I picture that diagram in my head. There are daily tests and every weekend raps up with an exam, but if you read the book, listen and take notes on the lecture you will for sure ace them.
The course also provides a practical section in each class where you get to draw blood starting on day one. I was a little scared to do this, but the instructors gave you step by step instructions and were there to guide you during the entire process. Louie, Linda, and Brian are amazing at giving you the information you need and the skills with which to perform the blood draws. By the end of the course I was really comfortable with my skills.
The administrative staff are very helpful and welcoming. Any questions I had they were quick to answer them and I never felt any grief or impatience at the most likely hundreds of questions I had for them. Mr. Lee and Marilu are both so nice and make the atmosphere so much more than a standard teaching environment. Marilu looks out for each and every student and is a wealth of information about the entire certification process, she makes you feel comfortable and reassured that you are covered and on the right track. Mr. Lee is just so nice and funny. He knows the program in and out and is helpful, reassuring, and positive.
They allow you to come in and practice your skills even after the class for up to a year. You are allowed to attend the class again to review all of the material. You are also welcome to practice your blood draws to brush up on your skills or get ready for a job. Overall, I would do this class all over again and I recommend it to anyone looking for a Phlebotomy course. You can’t get better instructors!

Here it is:
First Didactic:
BE PREPARED TO STUDY!
This is a very fast paced course packed with tons of info over two consecutive weekends. Dr. B is a no attitude, thorough instructor! You will know phlebotomy inside out when your done listening to Dr. B’s lectures. Be ready, because there are daily tests. And yes, they are tough. But, they really do prepare you to pass the state exam.
But here’s the bonus: If you do well on your daily tests, you get priority placement for externship.
Second Lab:
LISTEN LISTEN LISTEN!
Every afternoon, when lecture finishes, hands on begins (the very first day)-on each other. There’s no time to be squeamish or timid; you jump right in. It’s the job of the lab instructors to prepare you for externship. So pay close attention to their feedback– IT’S ESSENTIAL. Remember, they want you to succeed. Thanks to them, I felt confident and ready.
Third Externship:
BE PREPARED TO WORK YOUR BUTT OFF!
It’s totally worth it! Of course, as a representative of the school, BE PROFESSIONAL, focus on the task at hand and ditch your cell phone. Remember, it’s a week long interview. Did I feel prepared-​Yes. Did everything go perfect-​No. And that’s OK; asking for help is expected.
Last (but by no means least) The «other» stuff:
Before signing up with RCI, I checked out other schools. More than a few have you work ONLY on a fake training arm or hot dogs (yes, hot dogs). Furthermore, they charge less, because they do less for their students. RCI tuition includes everything: Uniforms, BLS certification, testing (which is done at RCI), and externship site placement. RCI even has job placement and former students can make arrangements to come in and practice! You get a loaner book (which seemed weird), but after the stack of notes I took during the lectures, I’m glad I didn’t end up with another book that would sit on a shelf collecting dust.
I have to say thank you to Charisse (the externship coordinator). Although I took the class in July I was unable to do my externship until December. I don’t know how she did it, but she got me a great site in no time.
Paperwork from sign up to graduation is well organized (for good reason); there’s a lot of it. The office staff and admin explain what you need to have before externship and taking the state exam (photos, documents, shots, physical exam, etc.). When your ready to go out on externship you get a packet of paperwork. EVERY page is explained in detail and help is only a phone call away. After externship, you get another packet of paperwork with the particulars of getting your state license. I know people who have taken phlebo at other schools, and they had little or next to no assistance with this part of the process. Incomplete or missing forms delay testing and state licensing. Thank you Marylou!
Everyone at RCI has one goal-​to see you graduate (no bs). I still remember practicing my tourniquet tying techniques on Mr. Lee (the director).
So, if your considering phlebotomy, go to RCI. It’s a great school.

I took the Phlebotomy course in april and studied hard and did well in the course. The instructors are great and it’s an accelerated program so you get your license in a few months instead of almost a year like other programs. It is difficult to find a phlebotomy job without connections but if you keep practicing at the school and keep in touch with them they do a good job of helping you. Talk to Julian Lee the administrator and show your best effort and he will help you. I kept applying to jobs for about a month and a half with no luck until all of a sudden i was able to land two part-​time jobs. You can keep going back to practice and the instructors will answer ALL your questions and show you great techniques, so take advantage of it. Take the initiative and you will succeed!

Regan Career Institute is definitely a career life changing institute full of opportunities. I am greatful for all their great help and assistance. Phlebotomy, EKG and CPR classes are great, with helpful, and friendly staff. I graduated with a Bachelors and was not able to find a job in my field and quickly started taking classes at Regan! I loved the classes, easy accessible assistance, and awesome vein puncture practicing on site. They guided me through the whole process of completing the class, externship, and finding my two jobs as a Phlebotomist for ExamOne and USC research laboratory Phlebotomist. So thankful for all their great help! They are the best. I recommend students to take initiative and take the courses at this institute to get the most experience and help to start their new career! Thank you so much Regan Career, I appreciate all the help! Now I can start my experience with patients!

I recently finish the phlebotomy program at RCI and I had a great time. Teachers are very knowledgable and helpful! The administration staffs are very nice and helpful as well. After the course, you will go to externship at either a clinic or a hospital. I really like this course and definitely recommend you all to take it here. :D
FYI: pay attention to lecture and take notes because it will be helpful for the quizzes.

I took this course last November, and is now a practicing phlebotomist. Most other phlebotomy certification courses take at least 3 – 6 months (I’ve done my research), so in comparison, this is definitely the place to go if you want to become licensed within a month.
The course itself is two weekends in a row, after which they place you in a one week clinical externship to practice your skills. Once you have yours hours, you send your paperwork to the state office, which takes about 2 – 4 weeks to get back to you with your official license number.
The staff there are wonderful, especially Julian the program director. He genuinely cares about his students, not to mention a great reference when you are on the job search.
If you are looking for a phlebotomy certification program, RCI is probably the best one in the area.

Last year I took the phlebotomy course. I never had any experience in the medical field and I was really scared and I didn’t know what to expect. Mr. Lee and the rest of the staff here at Regan are supper helpful and put you at ease. They encourage you and really believe in you. Regan has even found a job for me after I received my license granted it seemed like it took forever but it was definitely worth the wait. Mr. Lee even helps you even after you graduate. I highly recommend this school to everyone I meet. Class is not very hard it is mostly common sense. You really just need to do the work before hand and you will do just great. The school helps you every step of the way which mean a lot to me. This is the BEST SCHOOL EVER! Thank you to all the staff especially MR. LEE.

I attended the Phlebotomy program On ⁰¹⁄₂₀₁₅. The course was really beneficial to me. They have a great team, very helpful and kind. If you need a career come to RCI and they will put you on the right track.

First off, this was the most fun & educative experience in the medical field I’ve ever received. Knowing nothing or ever done any veni punctures/​skin punctures before I learned a lot & quickly. I got an externship the week after finishing too. It was fun but challenging as well. The class is hard if you don’t try. Flash cards helped a lot and as for the staff, they are good at explaining things to you. Louie is a tough teacher but he IS professional. News flash, not everyone you meet is a huge ray of sunshine. He has his personal reason why he was hard on us and expected us to perform the best we could and I genuinely appreciated the fact that he cared. He just DID NOT want half-​ass phlebotomists running around. He was helpful and smart. He may be grumpy but that’s a personal opinion. I would highly recommend Reagan; unless you’re lazy. Jobs aren’t handed to you by mommy and daddy. Keep looking and you’ll eventually find one lol

I took the phlebotomy course here and I have learned a lot. I am a UC graduate and the lectures given by the professor (teaches at UCLA) was very educational and fast pace. Be warned though, you will start poking people (and be poked) on the first day so prepare. And always read beforehand because theres a test everyday. But all the hard work will pay off! They also helped me find a job so that is a plus. The staff there are very nice and helpful.

I live in Santa Clarita and although it was quite a drive it was completely worth it!
The nice staff takes care of all the little details that are so easy to forget.
Getting a phlebotomy license can be really confusing, especially in California, and the staff makes it simple because they take care of the details.
The instructors are great and explain the material in a way that is very clear. I had a great experience!
Finding a job as a new phlebotomist can be tough but they even have someone help you find a job!
It’s worth the money!!!

At Regan Career Institute, I took a phlebotomy course. It was very fast paced, two weekends long, but pay close attention to lecture and practicals and I guarantee you will be fine. I learned more than just the proper technique to attain blood specimen through venipuncture and skinpuncture. I learned how to properly ensure patients identification, labeling, handling, preparation of specimens, and safety protocols to avoid contamination or infection for myself and others. The instructors are extremely helpful, knowledgeable, and professional. Louie was probably the instructor that really helped me gain confidence in venipuncture. Jorge Riesgo, the career advisor, helped me gain confidence in job hunting. To this day I still talk to Jorge, he always tries to find me oppoturnites which I cannot thank him enough for. I would definitely recommend this course for anyone who wants to become a Certified Phlebotomist. I am now currently working as a mobile phlebotomist for a lab. Thank you for everything Regan Career Institute!
