The Best Way to Become a Medical Assistant

Snap Medical Assistant Academy is affordable, safe, and convenient. Our hybrid medical assisting course is a 15-week blended-learning program that combines the convenience of e-learning with the safety of at-home labs. Start your path towards a new career at Snap!

Affordable

Our program tuition is $3,990. We offer flexible payment plans outlined here that enable you to enroll at minimal upfront cost! Our program provides you with the foundational education needed to become a medical assistant without the financial burden.

Safe

We know that the world is a changed place due to the pandemic. It is now more important than ever to practice smart safety measures. Our online program enables you to learn from the safety of your own home while practicing social distancing. Plus, it’s a great time to work on yourself and develop a new skill set!

Convenient

All of us have different circumstances - busy work schedules, children or family members to take care of, etc. Our hybrid medical assistant program allows you to learn throughout the week utilizing various e-learning modules as well as take-home lab kits! Each Saturday, you’ll have a four-hour online session with an instructor to review lectures, labs, and any questions you may have - all from the safety and convenience of your home! Additionally, while we encourage the use of computers for the best educational experience, our programs are designed to be mobile-friendly!

At Snap, our blended learning program has two components: a remote, online lecture portion and in-person training located at one of our regional lab sites. The length and requirements of these components vary by state. The lab training helps to supplement the lecture material, provide valuable in-office experience, and prepare students to meet requirements for medical assistants in their state. The 80-hour externship provides students with the opportunity to gain first-hand practice in a medical office.

Time: Your online classes are held every Saturday from 10a-2p CST.

Your Saturday sessions will consist of an instructor-led lecture accompanied by at-home labs and learning activities. This is the perfect time to ask questions and gain direct insights from our experienced, knowledgeable medical assistant instructors!

You can expect to spend about 5 hours per week on reading, online activities, lab simulations, CCMA practice exams, and quizzes. Your electronic textbook and student portal will provide you with the resources needed to complete the program.
