I’ve been taking the Monday and Wednesday night Medical Assistant program since January, and I really like it! The evening schedule works perfectly for me. I can do my usual things during the day and just go to class at night. I looked into a lot of MA programs before, but most of them only had Saturday classes, so this was a much better fit. I’m really glad I chose this one. The instructors are super nice, and I’ve learned a lot so far. Definitely recommend the night program! Read less

I learned so much from the two instructors Lisa and Isabell. The evening classes really worked well with my work schedule and allowed me to make it to class on time every time. Both instructors were very knowledgeable and answered any questions we had. Definitely recommend attending the school if you want something that is quick, efficient and hands on. I feel prepared for when I graduate in 2 weeks that I would be prepared to get hired in an office or speciality. Thanks again Lisa and Isabell for the amazing knowledge and skills you shared with me.

I really enjoyed my time at the school and had great instructors. I do feel as though that some of the test questions weren't covered in the lessons, but I still loved the experience.

I honestly enjoyed my experience. Becoming a Medical Assistant through this program was a breeze and my instructors were phenomenal. HUGE shoutout to Mr. Victor and Mrs. D!! I could not have succeeded without them. My proctor Esmer was also a huge help. They all gave very good insight, described everything in great detail, and were always available when help was needed. Amazing program! 10/10 would absolutely recommend! Read less
