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 Colorado Springs Medical Assistant School Community College University Program
Tuition $4,490 $10,000-$20,000 $15,000-$30,000+
Time to Career 18 weeks 1-2 years 2-4 years
Student Loan Debt $0 $5,000-$15,000 $15,000-$40,000+
Payment Plans Yes β€” flexible weekly payments Semester billing Semester billing
Earning Sooner In 18 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 18 weeks instead of 1-2 years, you could earn $42,000+ more during the time others are still in school.

Flexible Payment Plans

We offer payment plans that work with your budget β€” no student loans needed.

Pay in Full

Pay $4,490 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

Start with a deposit of $1,950 and make manageable weekly payments. No credit checks, no interest β€” just a simple plan that fits your budget.

WIOA Funding May Be Available

Colorado Springs Medical Assistant School is approved for WIOA (Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act) funding. If you qualify, your tuition may be partially or fully covered through government workforce development programs. Learn more about WIOA eligibility.

What Are Our Students Saying?
I absolutely loved going to this school! I love the instructors and the guidance they gave us. They gave us all the hands on experience we needed and any support we needed. It was such a fun experience with my classmates and learning together. And they still try to help us in anyway they can after we graduated, with reaching out about job potentials. I’ll miss my classmates and the instructors. Read less

I really loved being in Ms Annette’s class. She is very enjoyable to be around and gives the best advice. Her class was really easy to follow along and she would have such great patience when it comes to explaining and demonstrating things. She is such a kind person and I will miss being in her class. 10/10 ✨ Read less
