Los Angeles based InfoTech Career College is now part of Healthcare Career College (HCC).  The school offers vocational health care training featuring small class sizes and instructors with real-world work experience.  The College is accredited by the Council on Occupational Education (COE).  Today vocational schools like InfoTech are increasingly being required to disclose information useful to potential students such as average loan debt, total cost, and placement rates.  InfoTech has an institutional placement rate of 83% across its career training programs for the most recent reporting academic year.

InfoTech offers training in seven health care related fields:

• Medical Assistant

• Vocational (Practical) Nursing
• Medical Billing and Coding
• Patient Care Technician
• Phlebotomy Technician
• Ultrasound Technician

The shortest program in duration is the Nursing Assistant program, which can be completed in eight weeks when graduates will be ready to take state certification exams.

The Medical Assisting, Billing and Coding, and Patient Care Technician programs take longer – around 40 weeks, but they include externship opportunities in real-world health care environments that can lead to permanent employment upon graduation.  There are professional certification examinations available for qualified candidates in all these fields.  InfoTech is an approved testing center.

The Licensed Vocational (Practical) Nursing program takes 60 weeks to complete at which time graduates will be ready to take the NCLEX-PN (National Council Licensure Examination-Practical Nurse).

The Phlebotomy Technician program is designed for working professionals already in the field and can be completed in six Saturdays.  At that time students will be prepared to take the State Certification Exam for licensure as a Certified Phlebotomy Technician (CPT1).
