Program Reviews
I finally found U.S. Career Institute and I couldn’t be happier. The program is extremely affordable, and self-paced! This allows me to be able to still achieve my goals while balancing school and work, without tons of stress! I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for very flexible, low stress schooling!

Great Medical Assistant Course! The USCI had the most affordable online medical assistant course, and the easiest course to get into. They also pay for the test afterwards, which is a great bonus. I just started the course two weeks ago, and I really like the format. They encourage you to journal about each lesson, which is how I learn and remember best. They also made the vocabulary module like a game, so you pick it up fast and remember it well, especially if you were already proficient at language learning.

Thank you so much USCI! I am just about finished with my MA program. I chose USCI for the affordability and self-paced format. I work full-time 2nd shift, and my local community college class times were not an option for me. I’ve been doing a few units at night after work, and during the weekends. Also, the community college course would have taken me a year. USCI is cheaper, and faster. When I’m done, I’ll be able to take the NHA exam.
Sarah Medical Assistant Student
A Medical Assistant at my physician’s office recommended this to me, it is exactly what she said it was. Easy lessons, no requirement to begin a program, very very inexpensive and you can pick a payment plan and they are also very good at communicating with you if you have questions.
E. Sorenson Medical Assistant Student
This school was so right for me. I took the Medical Assistant Program. I just passed my boards 2 weeks ago. I am now a Certified Clinical Medical Assistant. I got a job right after I completed the program. I was sponsored by the NHA. (National Health career Association) The cost was 150.00 to take your exam. I still cant believe it. I just wanted to Thank The US Career Institute team. You have made my dream come true.
