Florida Certification Requirements

Florida does not require a state license to work as a medical assistant — NHA CCMA certification gives you a competitive advantage with Florida employers.

  • No state licensure required — national NHA certification preferred by employers. Florida is one of many states that does not mandate a specific state license for medical assistants. However, holding a nationally recognized NHA CCMA credential sets you apart and is preferred by virtually all Florida healthcare employers.
  • Florida employers hiring across Miami, Tampa, Orlando, Jacksonville, Fort Lauderdale, and West Palm Beach. Our graduates are working at major health systems, urgent care networks, private practices, and outpatient clinics throughout Florida's largest metro areas.
  • Florida's healthcare industry is one of the fastest-growing in the country. With an aging population and booming metro areas, Florida's demand for certified medical assistants, phlebotomists, and patient care technicians continues to accelerate year over year.

What Our Graduates Say

Real students. Real outcomes. Real career starts.

HealthCareer Certs was overall 10 out of 10, instructors were so kind and willing to answer any questions throughout the course at any given time. For someone like me who was eager to step foot in the field after just receiving my bachelors in biology, I found this course to be greatly structured. I was able to get certified while taking some time to travel, thanks to the course being online, I studied anywhere and everywhere. Would definitely recommend!
