STUDENT TESTIMONIALS
Lori is amazing. She is so knowledgeable and helpful. She truly cares about her students and their professional pursuits and is willing to put her heart into helping others. She goes the extra mile any more. Such a pleasure to work with Lori!!
5 Stars
Just finished the Phlebotomy class. Dr. Lori is great. She makes you feel comfortable in the class. She gives you what you need to be successful and she really is there to answer all your questions whenever you need it.
I cannot say enough about Veritas. I had to take the RN refresher course after being out of practice for six years. The owner and staff, which are mostly family were unbelievably helpful and accommodating throughout the entire process. My instructor, Louis, treated us all as adults and is extremely knowledgeable. They anticipated my needs before I knew I would have them! The process was seamless and everything is offered right there at the school should you choose to use their CPR certification and/or get your physical through their physician. The refresher course is board approved and I promise you that you will have a wonderful experience.
