"I was a bartender for 11 years. I enrolled with HealthCareerCerts, finished the program in 10 weeks, and was placed at AdventHealth for my externship. I'm now working full-time as an MA making $22/hr. This program changed my life."
Maria L.
"What sold me was the externship guarantee in writing. I'd looked at three other programs and every one of them said 'we help' but wouldn't commit. HealthCareerCerts put it in the contract. They delivered. I passed the NHA exam first try."
James K.
"I'm a pre-PA applicant and needed PCE hours fast. The CCMA + Pre-PA Bundle got me certified and working as an MA within 12 weeks. I now have 800 patient contact hours and just submitted my CASPA app. Exactly what I needed."

Too often, online programs drag on with irrelevant content and leave you stranded to find your own clinical site. HealthCareerCerts is built differently. Every module delivers focused, job-ready skills you can put to use the day you start your externship.
EKGs, phlebotomy, patient intake, EHR documentation, vital signs — the exact clinical skills employers screen for during interviews.
NHA-approved curriculum, exam voucher included, 100% first-attempt pass rate. A credential recognized by hiring managers in all 50 states.
Not a list of cold-call leads. A guaranteed externship at a real clinic near you, written into your enrollment contract. We handle the match.
No two clinical environments are the same, and your training shouldn't be narrow either. HealthCareerCerts covers the full scope of what a Clinical Medical Assistant is expected to do on day one — from front desk to back office — so you walk into your first shift fully prepared.
Stop cobbling together YouTube videos, workbooks, and prep guides. One enrollment gives you the full NHA-aligned curriculum — organized the way practicing clinicians actually teach it.
The hands-on skills employers hire for. Where most online programs leave gaps, we go deep.
The back office half of the job — what fills your mornings before patients arrive.
The soft skills that separate MAs who get promoted from those who don't.
The medication knowledge that keeps patients safe and you out of trouble.
The foundation everything else rests on. Taught in context, not as vocabulary memorization.
What gets you hired, retained, and promoted. Not covered in most online programs.
The bridge between coursework and your first shift. Where most programs disappear.
HealthCareerCerts is licensed by the New Hampshire Department of Education to offer postsecondary career training in Clinical Medical Assisting. Our license number and full approval documentation are available on request.
HealthCareerCerts is an NHA-approved training provider. Graduates are eligible to sit for the CCMA (Certified Clinical Medical Assistant) and CPT (Certified Phlebotomy Technician) exams. Your exam voucher is included in your enrollment.
HealthCareerCerts is BBB-accredited with an A+ rating. Our accreditation reflects our commitment to truthful advertising, honest customer interactions, and transparent pricing — no hidden fees, no surprise upsells.
Fair question — scam programs are unfortunately common in online healthcare certification. Here's how to verify us:
Guaranteed. Written into your enrollment contract. When you hit 80% of your coursework, you meet with your dedicated externship coordinator and share your top 5 preferred locations. Our team matches you to a partner clinic in your area — you don't cold-call anyone, you don't beg for a spot, you don't scramble.
This is the biggest single differentiator between HealthCareerCerts and most other online MA programs. Most other programs will use softer language like "externship support" or "placement assistance" — we use guaranteed placement in writing.
Yes — and we have the graduate employment data to prove it. Employers hire based on two things: (1) your NHA certification and (2) your clinical externship experience. Our students get both. You'll see our graduates hired at UCLA Health, AdventHealth, UVA Medicine, and USC — as well as independent clinics, urgent cares, and specialty practices in every state.
What matters to hiring managers is the certification on your resume, not whether the coursework happened in a classroom. NHA CCMA is the same credential whether you earn it online or in person.
8–12 weeks for coursework, plus a 160-hour clinical externship (usually 4–6 weeks). Total: 12–18 weeks from enrollment to NHA exam.
You control the pace. Some students finish coursework in 6 weeks at full speed; most finish in 10–12 while working a full-time job.
Everything. No surprise fees, no upsells at checkout, no "unlock" pricing partway through.
Most of our students do. The coursework is 100% online and self-paced — you log in nights, weekends, lunch breaks, whenever works. The only part that requires dedicated time is your 160-hour externship, which you can schedule around your work (we'll match you with a clinic that offers evenings, weekends, or flex hours).
Our first-attempt pass rate is 100%, so this rarely comes up. But if it happens: you get free retake support including a second voucher (if needed), targeted review sessions on your weak areas, and 1:1 coaching with your NHA instructor until you pass.
Yes. Choose from multiple payment plan options at checkout — as low as $450/month with 0% interest through our financing partner. No credit check required for the shorter plans.
Money-back guarantee. If you're not satisfied with the program for any reason, contact us and you'll receive a full refund — no questions asked. Call (434) 999-0888 or email support@healthcareercerts.org.
Reserve your seat today. Your dedicated externship coordinator is assigned the day you enroll.
