Western Area Career & Technology Center

I took this school's Phlebotomy class and I'm here to tell you DO NOT EVEN CONSIDER TAKING ONE CLASS AT THIS SCHOOL. The teacher and class were good but the school management was very poor. We were told that we would have to do an internship at the end of the class in a near by hospital of either Canonsburg, Upper St Clair, or the McMurray Quest Diagnostics. The school did not set up the internship at the end of the class, in fact they waited SIX MONTHS to do so. After many phone calls I was finally informed that I had to drive to Moon Township for my internship at least an hour away. When I spoke with Mike (who supposedly "manages" the internships) I told him that I never agreed to drive that far for an unpaid internship. His response was that I should consider myself lucky that they found me an internship at all. This school does not care about it's students!! They lie to you take your money and then treat you like a beggar if you ask for them to do their jobs. I was thinking about enrolling in some of their other programs, but since they have so much trouble with a simple Phlebotomy class I would never ever go back there. Don't waste your money! Go to CCAC they have much better programs. Also, the teacher of their Nursing program was sexually harassing a student for good grades. WAC Tech Center are not professional at all!!!
