Altamont Healthcare is a healthcare-oriented trade school for adults that want to enter the healthcare industry without a college degree or work experience. It was created in 2007 by Cherish Canda and Glenn Campbell and has grown significantly since then.
We are a small, family-owned business run by a diverse team dedicated to helping their students excel in healthcare careers. We offer multiple certification courses and an exclusive externship program that gives you access to a wide network of hospitals in California. On top of that, we’re an NCCT-approved testing site, so EKG and Surgical Tech students can take their board exams with us!
We offer 5 certification courses at the moment:
- BLS/CPR Certification: A 4-hour class for healthcare professionals
- SPD: Sterile Processing Tech certification (100 hours, 5-10 weeks)
- ERT: Endoscope Reprocessing Tech certification (30 hours, 1-2 weeks)
