Merit Training Institute

I am an old student of Merit. I graduated about 4 years ago from their old location. I just have to say how awesome they are! Catherine was a fantastic teacher, and I have definitely used her knowledge she has taught me in the field in the last 4 years! The hands on learning is especially useful as I have had patient contact on a daily basis. I have been in the orthopedic field the last few years and now I get to take my knowledge with to an opportunity at Cooper Hospital. I can't thank the staff enough for all the time and effort they all put forth. A big shout out to Brandi when 4 years later, I needed something, she jumped right on it! ud83dude42

My experience at Merit was awesome. I took the MA course and have been working as a MA for almost a year now. Catherine was fantastic, as was the group of girls in my class. We all worked together and would even meet before or after class to study. It is a lot of information to process but Catherine is great with giving little acronyms and analogies to help you remember, which helped a lot while I was taking my certifications. Would totally recommend Merit, I had so much fun there.

My daughter just went here to the MA program and she loved it. She had such a great experience, learned a lot, and has had two job offers recently. We really feel like the teacher Constantine cares a lot about the students and being able to go out and get good jobs and succeed. Her cousin is now looking at the program too.

You can always tell who went through the class and didn't think the rules applied to them!nnPro Tip: Read the handbook, listen to the instructor, do your homework, be on time.  There's a lot of rules, but if they're teaching you to literally stab someone with a needle, shouldn't there be?

I just graduated from the MA course and it was a a roller coaster. This is not a course for the faint of heart who are not prepared to move at light-speed and maybe be knocked down a few pegs. The instructor takes no prisoners and you either learn to fall in and take it or stay at home. That being said: I have learned more in these ten weeks than I feel like I learned all through high school and even though I felt some days that completing the clinical was going to be impossible, Catherine, Brandi, and Constance made time for us to get everything done, be it staying with the other class, or staying after in and getting in an extra hour and a half to catch up on sticks. Yes, you come home bruised and sore, but you learn real fast not to make the same mistakes again, especially since you stick your classmates almost everyday and generally won't hold back telling you that you gave them a bruise. Four stars as I felt like sometimes it was a little disorganized, but then I came from a large class with people of varying levels of knowledge and who had varying educational and skill needs.
