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:
| Feature | Atlanta Medical Assistant School | Community College | University Program |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tuition | $5,490 | $10,000-$20,000 | $15,000-$30,000+ |
| Time to Career | 30 weeks | 1-2 years | 2-4 years |
| Student Loan Debt | $0 | $5,000-$15,000 | $15,000-$40,000+ |
| Payment Plans | Yes — flexible weekly payments | Semester billing | Semester billing |
| Earning Sooner | In 30 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 30 weeks instead of 1-2 years, you could earn $42,000+ more during the time others are still in school.

We offer payment plans that work with your budget — no student loans needed.
Pay in Full
Pay $5,490 upfront and save on payment plan fees. This is the most popular option for students who want to keep costs as low as possible.
Weekly Payment Plan

Ms. Janice is the best instructor, she is very patient, understandable, and always in a good mood.

Ms. Janice is an exceptional medical assistant instructor who truly cares about her students success. She explains material clearly, takes the time to make sure everyone understands, and is always willing to help when someone needs extra support. Her real-world experience makes the lessons practical and easy to connect to clinical settings.
Ms. Janice creates a positive and encouraging learning environment where students feel comfortable asking questions and growing at their own pace. She pushes us to do our best while still being patient and understanding. I’m grateful to have had her as an instructor, and I feel confident and prepared for the medical field because of her guidance.
