what we offer

Current programs

Medical Assistant Apprenticeship

This program prepares you to take a national certification exam to become a Credentialed Medical Assistant. The program has been approved by the state of Washington as an equivalent to an MA-C program at a community or technical college and typically takes 12-15 months to complete.

Dental Assistant Training Program

This year long training program prepares you to work as Registered Dental Assistants in the state of Washington. The program is designed for those who do not have prior dental knowledge and is structured so that you can become formally trained while working in a dental office.

Medical Office Specialist Apprenticeship

The Medical Office Specialist Apprenticeship Program trains students for front office and business support roles in healthcare. The curriculum meets CAAHEP’s medical administrative standards, and graduates are eligible to take the CMAA exam through the National Healthcareer Association, equipping them with recognized credentials for success in medical administration.
