Palladium Technical Academy

If you want me to be honest. School is def money hungry. I’m not going to lie, looking back they did get me a job placement as promise which is the only reason I didn’t give them 1 star but the curriculum, the program, it’s not taken seriously. Instructors are in an out, at the time that I attended (2013) it was very «do what you please». Where do they find these instructors and are they even accredited for the position to teach the field. All they knew how to do was keep us satisfied and fat with donuts every Friday. I was asked to do the previous review for a chance to win movie tickets. Let’s be real, You don’t ask for a good review. You get one if you deserve it. From the few people I did the medical asst program with, I am the only one who has had a great job placement. Maybe I was one of the lucky ones. Everyone else is working at a fast food joint or warehouse, who’s fault? Idk. All im saying is… If your interested in doing a medical asst program, browse around. Look into some adult schools or even community colleges, you won’t be stuck with a 5,000 dollar loan your given the chance to pay off in 10 years. May not sound like a lot but debt is debt.
*** disclaimer: I went there in 2013, i don’t know how different it is now since we are in 2016. LIKE, y u only have 2 ½ stars? Think about it.
One more thing! Admin super unresponsive to my emails. I never got the chance to pick up my certificate and every time I email them they never email me back. I just want my damn certificate.

Palladium is the best school Ive gone to. Coming out of high school, I felt like I didnt have many options until I heard about this small school. The staff here is straightforward, thoughtful, and extremely helpful :) All the teachers and admin help you step by step through the courses, financial aide, and a lot more. This really is the best school to go to.

Electronic Medical Records I have to agree with the other person who commented. There is no structure to this class. The teacher takes phone calls during class and responds to texts while he is teaching, He gets distracted very easily, and gets aggressive if you ask too many questions. If you are an adult who is looking for a skill to get employment immediately after you graduate, I would go elsewhere or look into their Medical Billing and Coding class. if you are a 20 something whose parents are paying for the course work and you just want to waste some time to appease your parents and say you are going to school, then this is for you.

What can I say I attended the school for the Electronic Medical Records Specialist. My first month was hard it was medical terminology. Fine done Aced it. Then after that all we did was browse on the internet. change around some charts, and input some John Does in the Electronic chart. and that was pretty much it for the remainder of the course. I was promised a laptop with my course. I finished school in April 2014. No externship. no laptop.
I regret coming to this school. now I have a student loan to pay off and no job. I think the program should have been more organized. like for example teaching us all kinds of EMR programs not just one. And having the students HIT (Health Information Technician) certified.
I say to people that want to attend vocational schools do your homework and look very well into the school you want to attend. They promise you everything and at the end nothing! More like thanks for your money! Bye! Point blank.
I do not recommended this school at all.
