Your 18-Week Journey

Our program is designed to take you from beginner to job-ready in 18 weeks. Here's what your experience will look like:

1

Weeks 1-2: Building Your Foundation

You'll start by learning the fundamentals — medical terminology, professional conduct, and the basics of working in a medical office. You'll meet your classmates and instructors, and start getting comfortable in a clinical environment.

2

Weeks 3-12: Hands-On Clinical Training

This is where it gets real. You'll practice clinical skills in a real medical office environment, working with actual equipment and tools. You'll learn phlebotomy, EKG, vital signs measurement, injections, and clinical procedures.

3

Weeks 13-15: Certification Prep

We'll prepare you for the CCMA national certification exam with review sessions, practice tests, and study support. You'll take and pass your certification before you graduate.

4

Weeks 16-18: Externship

Put everything you've learned into practice during your externship at a local medical office. You'll work alongside licensed professionals, gaining real-world experience that employers value.

A Typical Week

Classroom Learning

Each week includes structured classroom time where you'll learn the theory and knowledge behind medical assisting — from anatomy and terminology to patient care protocols and office procedures.

Hands-On Practice

Our classes take place in real medical offices, so you'll practice on the same equipment you'll use in your career. This isn't a simulation — it's the real thing.

What You'll Learn

  • Medical terminology
  • Vital signs measurement
  • Phlebotomy (blood draws)
  • EKG procedures
  • Injection techniques
  • Patient intake & documentation
  • Clinical procedures
  • Infection control
  • Office administration
  • CCMA certification prep

Small Classes, Big Support

Our class sizes are small by design, so you get the individual attention you need. Your instructors are experienced medical professionals who are invested in your success — and our student support team is here to help with everything from scheduling to career placement.

I am currently enrolled for the class that started this year February 2026. I feel like all the instructors are doing an amazing job. I personally feel like it’s better when we have all 3 ( Sierra, Angelique , Tina ). That way if we are down 1 they are able to help with each room when we are doing labs and we aren’t waiting for one of the instructors. I love that my class is coming together asking questions that we need/ helping each other out as well. It wasn’t what I thought it was gonna be, I am going with the flow with the class ! Not anything in particular that needs to be adjusted at the moment. Read less

My experience so far has been amazing yet challenging because my learning style is different from everyone else’s. But when I say Ms. Cierra & Ms. Tina deserves the world for how much they do for us. From over explaining something if we don’t get it to not moving on unless WE ALL as a class understand it as one. I love them & I truly appreciate those amazing women & this program. Read less
