Is financial assistance available?

Career Step offers a variety of flexible payment options and installment plans for U.S. veterans, Active Duty service members, and their spouses. As Career Step is not an educational institution, we cannot offer—or accept—traditional financial aid, such as student scholarships, loans, and grants through FAFSA. However, our low-cost training programs are affordably priced and our goal is to find a payment solution that meets your needs.

How much does a medical administrative assistant make?

Medical office administrative assistants basically run the show at the front desk. They answer patient phone calls, schedule appointments, manage payments, and update health records.

This program includes comprehensive training, career support, and coaching, along with certification prep materials and exam fees.

Yeah, it costs less to pay up front, but we know that doesn’t work for everyone. We offer a payment plan for those who need a bit more leeway.

The My Career Advancement Account (MyCAA) program offers funding for this program for eligible military spouses. This funding can cover a portion of the cost of approved Career Step courses.
