  Although I can say I have learned a lot at the school and I do enjoy the hands on environment, do NOT go to this school. Save your money. The management could care less about the students or teachers, all they care about is making money. The administration will fill your head with lies that make their program sound great, but be warned, it is not. Financial aid is useless and you end up with thousands in student loans.
  I have seen several AMAZING teachers leave because the management use and abuse the teachers and they do not agree with changes that the management are making. The teachers that are left are worn down and because of that their rude and could care less about the students. I have also seen several students who have finished school but come back to class on our lab days to get a "refresher" on their lab skills because they have been out of school so long and can not get a job.
  Also a few classmates and I have been looking for a place to do our externship and after calling hospitals and speaking to several HR departments we discovered there are two hospitals in Dallas that will NOT accept people who went to school at High Tech. Period. Not for extern and not after you graduate.

  I wish I would have known all of this before I threw away $13,000 of my money. Please, please take this advice seriously. Go to a real school.

  My name is Beverly Goldstein and I recieved an Associates of Applied Science in the Surgical Technology program at High Tech. My experience as a student at High Tech had its ups and downs but the program gave me everything I needed as a stepping stone to a great career.

  I did my research, and contacted hospitals near the school and asked the directors of surgery if they new of such a school, and if they ever hired Surgical Techs that graduated from this program. I completed the program with a 4.0 GPA, Perfect Attendence and graduated Valedictorian. I am now a Certified Surgical Technologist that was hired at a local hospital which High Tech reffered to me , been employed for over two years and I am currenly a First Assistant in surgery and i am looking to move foward and start school again as an RN.

  I wish all Surgical Tech students the best, keep your chins up and keep trying. If you can offer sevices for free for a couple of weeks or try working in CSR until a position is created for you.

  All The Best,
  Bev

  I don't necessarily know what to say about high-tech institute except that I am very disappointed that I have not been employed even though I received an associate degree in surgical technology, have my certification and have been been applying for jobs for over a year. All employers state that I don't have enough experience not even with my extern. I have two and a have months of experience at the VA Medical Center in Decature, GA. I consider the experience extensive, however I am not getting. Let me remind you that most students in the surgical technology field are not getting hired. $30,000 owed and can't get hired because of lack of experience is a hard cookie to crumble. Oh and by the way during my two year studies I received 19 A's and 1 D, graduated Valedictorian.
