Our History

Career Training Solutions (CTS) was established on April 27, 1998, as the Health and Beauty Academy, Inc., in Fredericksburg, Virginia. Health and Beauty Academy offered programs in European Skin Care, Body Spa and Wellness, Esthetics, Electrolysis, and Professional Massage Therapy. In October of 2000, ownership of the Health and Beauty Academy changed, and the school was renamed Career Training Solutions.

The new management of CTS implemented stronger curricula to the programs already offered. In addition, Medical Assistant, Medical Billing and Coding, Phlebotomy, and Licensed Practical Nurse programs were implemented. In 2007, we began offering our Fast Track career training solutions, which include Nurse Aide, Phlebotomy, EKG Technician, and Medical/EKG Technician. These programs can be completed in less than three months.
