I solicited info on the cost of a few programs. I specifically wrote, DONT CALL CONTACT BY EMAIL.I get a call, I am job hunting either way so I answer it.The lady was so rude asking me if I have the money because I am asking for the full prices. Then at one point I told her I would just make a one time payment and I am looking for work. she said very condescending oh gosh! why dont you call back when you are ready?.Nahh, they can shove it!!
When I joined Manhattan Institute I thought I made a good decision. WRONG! They make a lot of promises they cant fulfill, they say theyre going to help you but they dont. They just keep you there for the money and leave you in debt. The professors werent fluent in ENGLISH thus making it harder to comprehend the information. DONT WASTE YOUR TIME! BEWARE!
The phlebotomy course was very informative and fun. It was an amazing experience. I also conquered my fear of needles. The professor was very patient with us and always provided clear explainations. I look forward to taking other courses at this school.
For my phlebotomy course in Manhattan Institute , it went good. The course was for four weeks. I learned many things but I wished it would have gone deeper in teaching because it was expensive. Overall it was a good experience.
Update: been 5 years since graduated and got cma at new age. i am using my m.i. certificates on resume, but new age gave me the edge by having way better career services and resume help. my advice to m.i. work on career services and resume prep/interview prep. i did like the dr we had way back...but at new age we did much more hands on phlebotomy.Enjoyed the pct prof, the dr so giving 2 starts for that. she was very good-thats all. the cna was a waste of money, i waited-my bad to sign up for state boards and couldnt take it...but didnt feel prepared. never got a job, didnt teach cpr, didnt have a pcp externship. money hungry administration, no financial aid was available. no nhr exams, sent me to national paramedical assoc which was another thief and a joke. i recommend instead new age training ***((if you do attend new age, mention my name so i get my mta card, they didnt commission me to write this.)advice to school, stop the last spot shtick, find us jobs for real, get us reall license at nha and not allied commission the thief.
My experience here was superb. The administrative staff, teacher, security and Janitor were all pleasant and hospitable. I would recommend this constitution to anyone desirous of entering a medical career. Deanna G - CNA
I took the Certified Nursing Assistant class here. Had a great experience with the rep and the teacher was very helpful. Love the location, it made my commute easy.
THE WORST SERVICE EVER!!! DO NOT SPEND A PENNY!!! Go to college and get your degree. Its so much more better and rewarding. This ISNT a school. Its just another COMPANY feeding off its fellow men while laughing behind their backs.I had such a troublesome time getting my refund. The people at the front desk are quick to take your money but, 10X slower to give your money back. Typical. Shouldve listened to the comments this time.Sadly, I had to give this post one star to get the word out. Its really suppose to be no stars. BTW the lady at the front desk NEEDS TO QUIT. Pretty sure PATIENCE is a key trait. Yelling over the phone makes you look like a dumb F@&%. A perfect empty barrel.
It was ok, I took the medical billing program it was too much learning for such small amount of time. This program should be extended at least three more weeks so you can learn more about medical billing, I dont recommend this program if you have never had medical or billing experience.
Great school, good teachers. Had a great experience at internship Mr. Azary Tamarov great teacher, helpful and always on point. I will recommend this school. Soon to take my test.
Great school if you already have some knowledge of medical terminology and anatomy/physiology. Took a dialysis tech 4 wk course and professor is very knowledgeable, got my textbook and paid 1475.00
I want to provide my finale feed back on the school, overall it was a great learning experience and I was sent to and excellent externship site very professional and learned a lot, thanks to the ladies at the front desk that always helped me, especially Pham thank I have no way to pay you everything you did today because of that I am a Certified Medical Assistance because of your help. My last part goes to miss Rene Keller who always answered the phone with a smile any time I called to check on jobs, she had always already submitted my resume and this way we formed a team I searched on my own and she help me as well. I may have hit some rough patches with some people but I dont let that put down everyones else hard work down. This past Thursday one of my searches paid of and I got a job offers to work with Essen Medical with a great pay rate, we all did this. This was what I came here for. Thank all!!!Sincerely yours,Dominga Carrasquillo NCMA
Experience here was very good. Great teacher she gives very good information about the course...their weekly payment plan is very affordable. I would def recommend.
The pharmacy technician training provided by The Manhattan Institute helped me to gain exposure about how to work efficiently in practical environment. Thanks to the teaching and supporting staff.
Who ever decides to go to this school PLEASE DONT!! This so called school is completely money hungry they just care about your money . Worst school ever ! Dont waste your time . This doesnt even deserve a star to be honest
Avoid at all costs this school is absolutely shady and completely money hungry plently of other schools where you can really get your education first off I paid 1500 for the weekend CNA class only to later find out my classmates paid 700-800 when I asked the front desk about it I was met with horrible attitude saying there was a sale and I missed out even though half of my classmates signed up at the same time as meNext issue ..they said there would be no more than 12-18 students LIE ..the class was easily about 30-50 ..maybe more so packed in fact we had other teachers come in and when a teacher was no available it was basically every man for themselves trying to ask the teacher to show them this that and the third we didnt get through anything honestly and it wasnt the teachers fault he had no time and too many people to teach when people went to the front desk to complain more attitude and promises when I asked if I could wait and take another class since they obviously scheduled way too many people More attitude and a simple NO and no refund ..the bathrooms are small and disgusting the front desk personal all have horrible attitudes ..I mean HORRIBlE ..while they try to paint a nice picture of the school its a complete waste of time and money I credit YouTube, the library and practicing at home for passing my state exam I learned absolutely nothing from this school except that I shouldve trusted the other reviews and never attended this poor excuse of a schoolEdit: I forgot to mention that while at my externship the nurse who was in charge of teaching us said that if we post a good review they would knock off a few hundred off the tuition if we were planning on furthering our education there if we would write a good review on here so keep that in mind when youre reading these outrageous amazing reviews about to sham school
THIS SCHOOL IS HORRIBLE. THEY DO NOT TEACH MUCH MATERIAL. PAID 700$ AND DID NOT GET ANY BOOKS TO TAKE HOME. (NO TEXT BOOKS, NOTHING) ALL THEY CARE ABOUT IS YOUR MONEY ! I FINISHED 3 WEEKS AGO AND HAVE BEEN CALLING FOR MY CERTIFICATE AND THEY KEEP GIVING ME THE RUN AROUND. WILL NEVER RECOMMEND THIS PLACE TO ANYONE EVER I HOPE THEY CLOSE DOWN BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT PROFESSIONAL AND IS NOT ORGANIZED. AND ALSO THE FRONT DESK ARE VERY RUDE AND NOT PLEASANT AT ALL. ALL THEY WANT TO DO IS COLLECT MONEY. ESPECIALLY THE PREGNANT ONE! IVE BEEN WORKING IN THE MEDICAL FIELD AS AN M.A FOR ALMOST 3 YRS AND TAKING THIS COURSE DID NOT DO ANYTHING FOR ME, JUST WASTED MY TIME!!!!
The people at the front desk are rude and not helpful at all. They give a two word answers and thats it and dont answer the question you asked them. The teacher I had was good and taught well.
I completed the Medical Biller course there and I am 100% satisfied. Amazing staff members, great location and great learning experience.
Good school, should go and check it out if you want to do ekg and phlebotomy...had a great experience. ..
Only want your money! They only want to get paid, they dont offer any discount to repeat students. They are twice as expensive as other places.
Fly by night school - you will not learn what you need to know and the teachers will tell you directly, that they do not prepare you for any type of certification.
Do Not Waste Your Money. You Will Never Find A Job.
SCAM, No phlebotomy clinical training has been available for months.
It was a fun experience. Hands on experience really easy classes.It was worth it
It was okay my teacher was very knowledgeable but it was too expensive for no reason
This school is trash, dont waist your money into this school.
No job placement!!! how should we find jobs with no placement and everyone wants experience???
I love this place. Very friendly and good customer service
Hoping to accomplish this course and see whats ahead 😊
Worst school ever
Excellent
Waste of money!

2014-10-07First of all, if youve never done any form of medical office/hospital work, this course is probably not best for you.They cram about six months worth of work in one month, but they have great teachers there who set the pace very well. I completed this course earlier this year ,and received all texts needed for completion.It is definitely inexpensive for a reason!! At the end of the course the teacher will give you very REAL and informative advice on how to go forward, which state/ private exams are best and the best areas to seek employment. This information is worth the month of course work.They have a strict time table, and work well with students to make sure they are getting all the benefits. I never felt rushed or overwhelmed with the huge amount of course study. Great teachers!!

2017-08-02My entire staff of swim instructors had to be certified with EKG and we all took courses there and it was wonderful. We loved the teacher. We were all surprised at how the school was so professional after looking at some whacko reviews. I must say that some people absolutely ignorant that courses cost and that schools must cover their business costs that is why they charge tuition and try to collect from the students that are on installment plans. The school has a big rent to pay and a big payroll; and they do not advertise themselves as a free institution. I saw nothing egregious about they way they behaved fiscally. I did see a bunch of people that were fiscally irresponsible not bring the balance of their monies and overreact about the school trying to collect. I felt bad for the school. Al ot of the students were just very unrealistic about paying for their classes.

2018-09-17This school is HORRIBLE took a Medical Assistant course felt like I learned absolutely nothing in certain classes because there was a very unprofessional teacher that would always talk about her personal life, would get into arguments with students because they would complain to her and to the people at the front desk because she did not know how to teach. I had her for like 4 classes and did not learn anything!! I wish i would had seen the reviews before i enrolled the people at the front desk are VERY rude do things with an attitude. Some teachers did a great job at teaching thank you to them. But overall this school is unprofessional, classroom trash cans would be full and the cleaning lady would take forever to clean. The womens bathroom only has two stalls which makes zero sense when 90% of the school is females. I would not recommend this school to anybody !! Find somewhere else because I wish someone would had told me and warned me about this school I regret it 100%.

2017-08-03I had an awesome experience at the Manhattan institute. I took the nurses aid class, I learned a lot, the teacher was very nice and patient with all the students, The school is really set up beautifully with student lounge area, nice size classrooms and its not overly crowded. They have a lot of equipment to learn on, the staff in the front are very helpful with anything you need. Also the school is in a great location, you can even go shopping at Macys if you get a break. I was worried about getting employed afterwards but I spoke to Renee in job placement and she really helped me a lot, we worked on my resume, she helped me set up interviews and I got hired almost right away, turns out the woman that interviewed me also attended the Manhattan Institute back in 2000.I am thinking of taking the EKG and phlebotomy class there as well, so I can further my career. if you want to better yourself and are looking for a career in the medical field then this is the school you should attend, although some of the other students are very negative and do not seem like they are really trying to learn, seems like they are just going because their parents want them to, but just stay away from the negative ones and focus on yourself.

2017-08-02I am new to New York City and I needed to take some courses to round out my medical studies. I signed up for the phlebotomy class and it was extremely informative. I was able to pay with installments, their office person name Rosa was very helpful about it. I was very crowded at the front where people sign up and I noticed the staff patiently explaining the description of the various courses to people that were totally unaware of the medical field. A lot of people there were fresh out of High School hoping this school would land them a job comparable to an RN degree. It will not work that way. Manhattan Institute is great for entry level positions in the entire medical field from hospitals to doctors offices. If you like the field it will behoove you to continue your studies. I learned about the school when I went to the ER room once and one of the PAs told me that they had a spectacular reputation.. I trusted staff at the hospital so then I went over to 34th St. to investigate the school. I saw some crazy reviews-Well it was not that crazy, the person name Haley was very educated and she walked me through the process. I would not go here expecting the same results as going to Columbia U for less time and less money. This is a great place for a vocational study that you can use to wedge your way into the Medical field and take it from there.

2017-12-24This school is a complete scam ! The finical aide advisor is whacko. I was going there for 3 months. The teacher was always late and the test was never a real test. He would give us the answers to study. When I decided to leave the Finical aide advisor stated I would only have to pay the loan back. When I called the company about the loan the stated I can get back the loan from the school being that I did not complete the 11 months course. When I called about this and after being transferred and hung up on a lady by the name of Linda ( One of the recruiters ) said that was not the case all. A lot of back and forth and no results. After that conversation I receive another letter saying I owe them 25,000 dollars for books I never received and a uniform that I know only cost 150 dollars.Ive been trying to reach someone and nobody has the answer just keeps transferring me over and over again. They arent asking for information to pull up my record either which is completely weird. I will be taking them to court because it seems they are trying to use my loan as a bonus check for them and trying to have me pay them for working for a year. I highly recommend going to a real college with real help, real advisors and real teachers.

2018-01-28I am a teacher by profession, didnt know anything about the health field until I met Miss Cuba Bryant aka Miss B. She taught me exceptionally well especially the skills. I recently took my state board in which I did extremely well on the theory and superb on the practical. If you choose a career path in the nursing field and you want to start with CNA, Manhattan Institute is the school for you ( night classes) 6pm to 9pm. She is stern and firm but she gets the job done.

2016-11-03This place deserves no stars. Warning you all...DO NOT GO HERE!!! I took a CNA course here and it was terrible. The textbook they have us was over 10 years old and had outdated information. I paid $1000 for this course and was left with more questions than answers. For the amount of money to pay for this crap four week course you think that they would have decent equipment. NOPE. Dirty equipment. Missing equipment. One of practice manaquins was missing a leg and completely falling apart. It was just a really bad experiance coming here. Do yourself a favor and find another school. Its better to spend a little more and get properly educated then saving money.

2010-04-16I am really upset and disappointed. I paid for my husband to take the CNA course and its coincidental that after making the last payment you start the practical skill part of training. Well, Manhattan Institute has absolutely NO SUPPLIES for the students to practice their skills. No sheets, towels, gloves, etc.. not even basins. He had to get together with the students of the class and practice their skills together and bring in their own supplies. When the instructor teaches it you are supposed to Imagine the supplies are on hand. Its ridiculous!! The only good side was that the instructor was good and by giving weekly exams it kept the students on task which is why I gave it two stars in my review. I would not recommend this school to anyone.

2014-10-21Honestly I read the reviews before I enrolled and I thought even thought there were negative reviews I would still take the course. I enrolled in the combo classes (PEKG-$1400). I must honesty say this was the worst decision in my entire life. I regret it greatly. What a waste of money.1. Its the same content for the past 12 years. Nothing ever changes/ The same teachers, same work load and the same tests. People just used to come in late during the test, take a piece of paper out(cheat sheet), place it on the desk and copy whatever is on the cheat sheet to the test all in 5 mins. When we got our results back which is the same day they used to get 100%. Not fair at all to those of us who studied. Im not jealous after all I did get (95-98) on my tests by not cheating. Is it so hard to change the tests.2.Although the staff didnt give me a attitude they did give one to most of the other people which turned into arguments.3. If you think you will get a job after this, you will need to go back to where you came from. Six months after I contacted all my classmates through Facebook to see if anyone got a job. NO ONE DID!!!!!!!! The jobs they offered on the job site is only for nursing & medical assistants which they post 2 every 5 weeks.Would I recommend someone going there. HELL NO.
