Texas Certification Requirements

Texas does not require a state license to work as a medical assistant — but national certification (NHA CCMA) is preferred by Texas employers and gives you a competitive edge.

  • No state licensure required — national NHA certification preferred by employers. Texas has no state-level license mandate for medical assistants, but earning your NHA CCMA sets you apart from uncertified candidates and is increasingly required by major Texas healthcare systems.
  • Texas employers hiring: hospitals, clinics, urgent care centers across Houston, Dallas, San Antonio, Austin, and Fort Worth. Our graduates work at healthcare facilities throughout the state’s major metro areas and beyond. Demand for certified medical assistants in Texas continues to grow.
  • Pharmacy tech note: Texas residents must take the PTCB exam (not ExCPT). If you’re interested in pharmacy technician certification, Texas requires the PTCB pathway. Our CPhT program prepares you specifically for this exam.

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!
