General Questions
General Questions
Are you an accredited institution?
The term accreditation is used by traditional colleges and universities that issue transferable credits and degrees, such as a BA or MBA. Skilltrade, Inc. is a trade skills educational institution that provides comprehensive training for healthcare professionals and other skilled trades to effectively prepare them to work in their respective fields. Skilltrade issues certificates of completion to all students who successfully complete all required components of the program.
Skilltrade, Inc. is not an accredited organization; however, as a program requirement, students must take the Certified Clinical Medical Assistant (CCMA) exam during the final week of the program. Upon passing the National Healthcareer Association (NHA) exam, students will earn the CCMA credential.
This exam is accredited by the National Commission for Certifying Agencies (NCCA) and recognized by employers throughout the U.S.
Our organizational structure allows us to offer certain advantages to students, such as lower tuition costs and more flexibility in designing innovative or niche programs without the restrictions imposed by accrediting bodies. Additionally, we are able to develop programs more quickly in response to industry trends and demands. It also allows us to employ a more flexible admissions criteria, making education accessible to students who might not meet the standards of accredited institutions.
Can I transfer credits from another institution?
No. Skilltrade training programs are standalone courses; credits from other institutions cannot be applied.
Where is the main office/headquarters located?
Our headquarters is in Grosse Pointe Woods, Michigan (just outside of Detroit), but we offer training to prospective students all over the country. Our in-person training facilities for our hybrid training programs will be expanding throughout the U.S. You can find a campus near you on our Locations page.
Do you help graduates find a job?
Yes! We help graduates who successfully complete our Medical Assistant Program and pass the Certified Clinical Medical Assistant (CCMA) exam through the National Healthcareer Association (NHA) find healthcare jobs in their local communities. We also support graduates as they progress through their careers with assistance finding their next healthcare role, and the one after that.
How long is the Medical Assistant Program?
Our Medical Assistant Program is 20 weeks long. For those participating in the hybrid program format, there is also a required externship, which may extend beyond the 20-week curriculum.
