I had an amazing experience at Houston Medical Assistant School! This program truly prepares you for success, and I’m so grateful I chose to attend. The hands-on training, supportive environment, and real-world skills we learned made such a difference in my confidence as a future medical assistant.
Ms. Shajuana and Ms. Thai were honestly the best part of the class. They took out extra time and went the extra mile to make sure we fully understood the material and felt confident in our skills. No matter how many questions we had, they were patient, encouraging, and genuinely cared about our success. You can tell they are passionate about what they do and about helping their students grow.
I would absolutely recommend Ms. Shajuana, Ms. Thai, and the entire school to anyone wanting to become a medical assistant. If you’re looking for a program that supports you, challenges you, and truly wants to see you succeed, this is the place to go! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I have been in this program for 11 weeks, and one thing I can say for sure is that the instructors teach you everything you need for hands-on practice. The necessary resources are provided as well. However, the real experience begins when you start your externship. Finding an externship is your own responsibility, which can be tiring and challenging.

I started my class in October and test out in February. I didn’t realize there was such a broad scope of education to become a medical assistant but my instructors (Ms. Nina, Ms. Ronda and Ms. Keisa) have made my journey such a great experience. They’re knowledgeable and dynamic in their approach to teaching and supporting us; they never make you feel less than or stupid. I’m very grateful I ended up with the instructors and some of the classmates I’m with. I’d definitely recommend this course, although I do feel like the instruments/equipment needed to be purchased should be disclosed prior to the class being paid for. Also, the student advisor, Peyton, doesn’t communicate well and I feel like she needs to work on how better to support students considering she holds the student advisor title.

The school is good but I graduated last year and still haven’t gotten a job. I call them for help but they never call me back and nobody wants to hire somebody with no experience ☹️

I had an amazing experience at Houston Medical Assistant School in Sugar Land. The instructors truly care about their students and make sure you understand the material, both in the classroom and hands-on labs. The program is fast-paced but very supportive, and I always felt encouraged and prepared. I’m really grateful for the skills and confidence I gained here, and I highly recommend this school to anyone pursuing a career as a medical assistant.
I did have a couple of issues in the beginning at the first location I attended it set me back and I was struggling with that situation, but once I was moved to the Sugar Land campus everything changed for the better. They provided amazing instructors who were supportive, patient, and made me feel completely comfortable. I’m genuinely grateful for the switch and for the guidance I received throughout the program but I’ve had a wonderful experience with the instructor Mrs.Nina and Mrs.Kisha. Helped me out a lot with my experience and made me feel confident.
