"I was sceptical about the training programs I saw online, but when two of my friends in the UK who had successfully landed healthcare jobs recommended MedBuddy Academy, I decided to trust their word. I enrolled in the phlebotomy training, and it was a great decision. The practical sessions were fantastic and I gained a lot of confidence. Thanks to MedBuddy, I now hold an internationally recognised certificate and work as a phlebotomist. I'm so excited about my new career."

"I found MedBuddy Healthcare Training Centre while searching online for phlebotomy certification programs. The entire process was incredibly smooth, and the support from their team was outstanding. They were very helpful with my job search and even helped me secure an internship at a private hospital here in Nigeria. I highly recommend MedBuddy for their comprehensive training and career support!"

"MedBuddy's phlebotomy program was a game-changer for me. Based on a friend's recommendation, I joined the class at Lagos Island. The hands-on training with the instructors was excellent and a huge part of my success. More importantly, my international certification through MedBuddy transformed my career. I'm now living and working in Canada as a certified phlebotomist, and it has significantly improved the quality of life for my family."
