I did the course with CSI, and I was able to complete it over the summer. I am now back in college, and CSI was able to set me up with an externship near by my university, and I'm currently working through the 160 hours I need there in order to become a certified Medical Assistant in my state! The process went very smoothly, and the help I've received along the way has been so useful. CSI always responded to my emails so quick, and had solutions that worked great for me.

Im still making my way through the CCMA course. The site is very user friendly and easy to navigate through the different modules. The course content itself; most is great and educational. There are some errors within the test, some repetitions, and some grammatical errors. Some is also very outdated and other topics would be better suited to other certificate courses.

What was best about this program is how easy it made introducing the revenue and billing cycle through videos. It was a nice way to start off understanding the entire concept. The challenge was more was needed to pass the NHA exam. The NHA had questions that were not in either the Clinical Skills Institute material nor the NHA source material provided. Some questions on the NHA exam required field experience, others were vague, unclear, unspecific, or tricky with English. Take your own notes and memorize details. The practice exams provided through the NHA were useful to get an idea of what areas you need to sharpen and research harder.

The course was decent. It was only $900 which was definitely the best part, but a lot of the course content felt like it may have been written by AI and was not edited super well. Especially in the anatomy and body system chapters, there were parts that were very under explained and had specific medical vocabulary about symptoms and illnesses the reader was expected to know, while other sections of the course literally explained what a noun was and how to write an email. Sometimes a chapter was also unnecessarily repetitive with the same information. My other qualm is that the promised externship support was not super helpful for me. The program provided a list of clinics in my area to call and a script I could use to try and get an externship, and I reached out to every place they gave me as well as a few others and was unable to find an externship. This isn't the program's fault, but just know that the help they provide is limited. All that said, I learned what I needed to from this course and passed my CCMA exam. I do not have a job yet, but I am a full time student and am seeking something part time which I think is harder to find as someone with no experience. Overall I do recommend this course. It worked well for me as a college student who is a biochemistry major and already had background knowledge on some of the subjects covered. If you don't know anything about medicine/ biology/ anatomy, I think this course may not prepare you for the exam super well and you would need to find supplemental materials. But if you do have that background knowledge this was a great and relatively inexpensive way to prepare for and earn the CCMA certification.

Overall great program for the price. Everything was well organized and they helped you with the entire experience when needed.

The content overall is good. However the site has some trouble loading here and there and the exams don’t load at all. If that would be fixed, that’s would be great.

This course was overall pretty satisfactory. I appreciated how it was online and asynchronous, which was quite beneficial for my college schedule and the price was also very affordable compared to other programs. While learning everything online was challenging and I definitely did not feel the most confident about hands on skills, CSI did provide me with plenty of practice for my CCMA exam which I was able to pass first try. This is a great course if you are good at managing your own studies and are prioritizing time and flexibility.

The Clinical Skills Institute program was a positive learning experience for me. The course was easy to follow, and the online format made it convenient to study around my schedule. I appreciated the flexibility to learn at my own pace and found the course materials helpful and well organized. Overall, I gained useful knowledge and had a smooth learning experience. I would recommend it to anyone looking for flexible healthcare training.
