About Premier Health Academy
Empowering New Jersey residents to launch rewarding healthcare careers since 2009.
Born From a Passion for
Healthcare Education
Premier Health Academy was founded in 2009 by a team of certified phlebotomists and healthcare educators who saw a critical gap: New Jersey had thousands of open phlebotomy positions, but not enough qualified local candidates to fill them.
Our founders set out to create the most comprehensive, accessible, and career-focused phlebotomy training program in the state — one that would take complete beginners and make them fully certified, job-ready professionals in just weeks.
Fifteen years later, we've trained over 1,200 students and partnered with more than 50 New Jersey healthcare employers. Our 94% job placement rate reflects our unwavering commitment to student success.
