Before joining Northwest Career College I was a little uncertain about which campus I was going to attend. So I went online and read the reviews from each campus and honestly each one had good things said about there location.My current instructor Mrs. Cheryl and my admissions advisor Charles have been more than welcoming since starting classes.

Love the campus! Staff is very hands on and there to help along the way with anything we may need help with. I was going to originally go to the main campus because it’s closer to my house but Chuck was super nice and helpful made me feel comfortable to come to East Las Vegas campus and I’m glad I chose this campus because everyone is so sweet

Romone is great and always puts out all the stops for our kids. We took a group of 33 Valley High School students to tour the facilities and the school was hospitable and gracious with their time and education. They share a lot of valuable information for our students to pursue a higher education.

Cynthia was wonderful and awesome. Very kind, professional, and explained everything properly. The facility was easy to find with a gps, lots of parking, and also clean. The test center/area was clean, all devices (keyboard, mouse, screen) worked properly. Everything was great, smooth and quick. Its a good facility for testing.

When I first started school, I was a little nervous because I hadn’t been back to school in three years, but I had an extremely warm welcome from every instructor and staff and honestly had the best school experience. I could’ve asked for with unlimited amounts of encouragement and help if I could choose any school to go back to it will definitely have to be ncc. They are supportive and encouraging and believed in me when I didn’t even believe in myself I absolutely love the school and can’t wait to come back in September for the phlebotomy course!!

It will take you nine months of online and on-campus hands-on learning to graduate from your Medical Assistant program...and then you will become career ready to work in a group practice, hospital setting, long-term care facilities, surgicenter, and more!

Northwest Career College encourages Medical Assistant program graduates to apply for transfer credits. However, Northwest Career College cannot guarantee that these credits will be accepted at all institutions. Transfer credit acceptance is determined by the institution accepting the credits for transfer, not the original college of the alumni requesting the transfer credit.

Medical Assistants are mostly found in the clinical setting of the medical field and will handle administrative tasks in addition to patient care. CNAs are mostly found in long-term care facilities and assist nurses with patient care.

After graduation from our medical assistant school, you could potentially qualify for a variety of job positions, including but not limited to: Medical Assistant, Medical Office Assistant, Optometric Technician, Clinical Medical Assistant (Back Office), Chiropractor Assistant, Ophthalmic Technician, Clinical Assistant, and Optometric Assistant.

Medical Assistant graduates typically work in a private medical office setting. Students interested in working in a hospital setting should consider enrolling in Northwest Career College’s Healthcare Administration program, as they will be well equipped to pursue an administrative position within a hospital setting.

Although Northwest Career College does not require students to participate in an EKG Certification exam to graduate from its Medical Assistant diploma program, graduates meet the educational requirements needed to qualify for the Certified EKG Technician exam offered by the National Healthcareer Association.

Due to the variety of employment opportunities with the completion of each certification, salaries are dependent on the place of employment. We encourage students to visit the US Bureau of Labor Statistics website, https://www.bls.gov/, to see the National averages of each career.

Entering the medical field with multiple certifications will provide more career opportunities and makes students more marketable in the competitive job market.
