Cost Comparison: Your Options

When it comes to becoming a medical assistant, you have choices. But not all paths offer the same value. Here's how the numbers compare:

Tuition	$5,490	$10,000-$20,000	$15,000-$30,000+
Time to Career	18 weeks	1-2 years	2-4 years

Payment Plans	Yes — flexible weekly payments	Semester billing	Semester billing
Earning Sooner	In 18 weeks	In 1-2 years	In 2-4 years

The Real Cost of Waiting

Every month you spend in a longer program is a month you're not earning a medical assistant salary. Medical assistants in the U.S. earn a median salary of $42,000 per year. By completing your training in 18 weeks instead of 1-2 years, you could earn $42,000+ more during the time others are still in school.
