This is an amazing school with awesome teachers! I highly recommend it. I took both my MA certification and Phlebotomy certification. Both classes were great!

IMA prepares their students for the workforce, and to get their certification without question. They offer so many great hands on classes, the MA and phlebotomy programs that I enjoyed are just a few.
