Simple answer → Yes.
Canadian students are eligible to enroll in our online medical certification programs. For your convenience, we accept applications all year long. You choose your own start and end dates. It is an 8-week certification program, and you have access to our self-paced learning platform for 12-months.
Unlike community colleges, we’ve streamlined the application process for our students.
You do not have to:
As Canadians, we pride ourselves on our world-class healthcare system. Yet, today it’s a system in crisis. A system that needs people like you to give compassionate, high quality care.
If you want to legitimately make a difference, then consider a job as a medical assistant.
Right now, the Government of Canada classifies job opportunities for medical assistants as moderate to very good depending on the province.
Medical assistants most often provide care in outpatient clinics and private doctors’ offices. They manage both administrative and clinical tasks.
Clinical medical assistants may be responsible for sterilizing and cleaning equipment, operating diagnostic equipment, assisting other healthcare professionals, and instructing patients on procedures. You can find a full list of potential job duties on the Government of Canada website.
Applications to medical schools in Canada include a section to highlight employment. It is not necessary to gain clinical experience before applying. However, you may prefer building your career in healthcare instead of working at another job.
In fact, we exclusively designed our program for pre-health students. We know you don’t have 1-2 years to obtain an advanced certification from a community college, but you also can’t get hired without one. Our program qualifies you to be a medical assistant in only 8-weeks.
You shouldn’t have to wait to get into medical school to start your career in healthcare. Get an entry-level job in healthcare as your summer job with this quick certification program.

I enrolled in the CCMA course in January 2021 and finished the program by the end of May, I sat for the certification exam the first week of June (passed on the first attempt) and just completed my first week at my full-time CCMA position. So grateful for this program for allowing me to start gaining patient care hours for PA school directly from my college. Don’t miss out on this opportunity!!
