Frequently Asked Questions
The CCMA (Certified Clinical Medical Assistant) is a national certification administered by the National Healthcareer Association (NHA). It demonstrates competence in both clinical procedures (vitals, phlebotomy, EKG, assisting with exams) and administrative tasks (EHR, scheduling, insurance) common to the Medical Assistant role.
The Certified Clinical Medical Assistant (CCMA) is issued by the NHA. It is recognized by healthcare employers nationwide as a valid credential demonstrating competence in the Medical Assistant role.
No. Our course is exam-preparation training — it covers the cognitive content you need to pass. The certification exam itself is administered and priced separately by the NHA. We provide guidance on registering for the exam when you complete the course.
For CCMA certification eligibility, NHA requires either (a) completion of an MA training program within the last 5 years OR (b) one year of supervised work experience as an MA. Our online didactic course satisfies the training-program pathway when paired with a clinical externship — which is NOT included online and must be arranged separately at a clinical site.
Most students complete the Medical Assistant program in 4 to 6 months. The course is self-paced, so you can finish faster or take longer depending on your schedule.
Yes — some states (notably California, Florida, and Texas) have state-specific scope-of-practice rules or registration requirements for Medical Assistants. Our national curriculum prepares you for the NHA exam, but you should confirm any additional state requirements with your state's regulatory body before practicing.
