Questions, answered

CCMA Program FAQ

Is the NHA CCMA exam voucher included?
Yes — every track includes the NHA CCMA exam voucher (a $149 value). There are no separate exam fees or hidden costs on any tier.
Do the clinical hours count for PA school (CASPA) and med school?
Yes. Externship hours are hands-on patient care experience (PCE) — vitals, phlebotomy, working directly with providers. They're tracked and verified by the clinic, not self-reported, which is exactly what admissions committees want to see on CASPA and AMCAS.
How fast can I finish?
Most students complete the coursework in 6–8 weeks studying part-time. It's fully self-paced with 12-month access — finish in one focused summer, or spread it around classes and work.
How does the guaranteed externship work?
After you pass the exam, our placement coordinator finds a clinic near you — the guarantee is written into your enrollment agreement. You'll complete 160 hours on the clinic's schedule; placements typically require consistent weekly availability, so plan for that when you enroll.
Can I start with Self-Paced and upgrade later?
Yes — you can upgrade from Self-Paced to the Externship track at any time. Call us at (434) 999-0888 and we'll apply your enrollment toward the upgrade.
Is this legit? Is the certification recognized?
The CCMA credential is issued by the National Healthcareer Association (NHA) — it is the same nationally recognized certification regardless of where you train, and employers across the country recognize it. Check our 81 public Google reviews.
What if it's not for me?
You're covered by a 24-hour money-back guarantee — full refund, no questions asked. Enroll, look through everything, and decide.
How do the payment plans work?
Pick any 2–6 payment plan at checkout — 0% interest, no credit check. Your first payment is due at sign-up and the rest bill monthly. You get full course access from day one.
