Cost Comparison: Your Options

When it comes to becoming a medical assistant, you have choices. But not all paths offer the same value. Here's how the numbers compare:

Time to Career 18 weeks 1-2 years 2-4 years

Payment Plans Yes โ€” flexible weekly payments Semester billing Semester billing
Earning Sooner In 18 weeks In 1-2 years In 2-4 years

The Real Cost of Waiting

Every month you spend in a longer program is a month you're not earning a medical assistant salary. Medical assistants in the U.S. earn a median salary of $42,000 per year. By completing your training in 18 weeks instead of 1-2 years, you could earn $42,000+ more during the time others are still in school.

Flexible Payment Plans

We offer payment plans that work with your budget โ€” no student loans needed.

Pay in Full

Pay $4,490 upfront and save on payment plan fees. This is the most popular option for students who want to keep costs as low as possible.

Weekly Payment Plan

Start with a deposit of $1,950 and make manageable weekly payments. No credit checks, no interest โ€” just a simple plan that fits your budget.

My instructor Maite was absolutely AMAZING! She was the only instructor at one point and she really helped us students and did a great job considering it was just her for a couple weeks. She listened to us and reached out to get us answers when we couldnโ€™t get any. Love her! 2 other instructors came along and joined her and they were Aide and Lupe and things were definitely smooth sailing! We made it to graduationn!! After graduation, Crystal, a student advisor, began communicating with me. Youโ€™d think she was along the whole time! So quick to assist with questions I had and even helping me to secure a job interview which went great by the way. She ALWAYS responds. Crystal is definitely on top of her stuff! Read less
