IslandCPR offers our Medical Assistant course in two ways depending on what fits your needs!
Option 1) Live classes! As a learner do you need to be in a classroom? Do you need to be in a class with other students? This is the option for you! You can even choose to ZOOM in and be live, or be live in the classroom, which ever works better for you! If you choose to zoom you still will be required to be live in classroom for your 3 labs. Option 2) Self Paced class! This class is great for those who need to have a class that works around their schedule. Watch lectures at home on your time with a need to come in ONLY for 3 labs! This style although more flexible does put more of the burden of keeping pace on the learner. You have 3 months to finish and can always chat with a live instructor! ** Not sure which is right for you? Call us we are happy to talk to you more on the differences or read below for more information!** Why become a MA??

New self paced class! Kelly C. "I just wanted to thank you for working with me and being awesomely diligent! In such uncertain times, it’s much appreciated and reassuring to have prompt responses and reminders. I thoroughly enjoyed Kenya, Kyle, and Annie as instructors as well! They are very knowledgeable, friendly, and thorough. Please extend my Mahalo to them as well. Your school is a gem!" Live Classes: 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." |
