Marissa P. "The medical assistant course gave me all the knowledge I need to go into the world of medical assisting. The course is very informal and very hands on and it makes it easy to know what to expect. The instructors are extremely knowledgeable and will give you all the tools, information and confidence you need to pass the CCMA exam and on your way to a fulfilling career! " Charmaine B. "I would like to thank you, as well as the organizations you are a part of, for allowing me the opportunity to pursue the Medical Assistant program. Mahalo Kalehua for assisting me with all of the prep work involved with the application process, which was basically a foreign language to me. Mahalo to Alu Like for granting me the financial support to attend Island CPR's program, because without that, none of this would have been possible. Mahalo to Island CPR for offering the opportunity; although very progressive, it was a great foundation and start for a new career venture. I'm happy to say that after completing the MA program at Island CPR, I passed my NHA Exam, and am now working as a Medical Assistant. I am grateful for all of your time and assistance. Each and every one of you played a key role in my success." |
