Hi, I'm a Hemodialysis Technician with 5 years experience, otherwise known as a PCT. I want to caution you that the for-profit schools may be fleecing people with these $15,000 training programs to become a PCT. You can get hired and trained as a PCT through companies like Fresenius Kidney Care. Paid training, no tuition, benefits included. No experience required, but a plus because positions can be competitive. Training lasts 3 months, with clinicals and a final exam that certifies you to work in the state of Arizona. After about 9 months of patient care you can take a national certifying test like the CCHT or BONENT and work just about anywhere in the country! There are dialysis facilities in every state and nearly every city. I was tempted to work as an educator in some of these for profit schools, but why would I want to mislead students who could get their education for free with some hard work? Check out Working at FRESENIUS No one is paying me for this btw- I feel like its the right thing to do!
