Show your commitment to professional development, patient care and quality work by earning your NCCA-accredited certification through NHA. Passing a nationally accredited exam means a student is more likely to be work-ready. Employers value the standardization national certification provides and use it to screen job applicants. Employers are also more likely to increase pay when an employee earns a professional certification. According to the 2024 Industry Outlook 81% of employers require certification for medical assistants and the salary range for a certified medical assistant is $16.10 – 27.15 an hour. The hourly mean wage is $19.49 (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, 31-9092 Medical Assistants).

  • Your certification must be renewed every two years.
  • To stay current, you must complete 10 continuing education credits and pay a recertification fee every two years.

* Due to the large number of manufacturers of these devices, NHA cannot fully guarantee compatibility with them and highly recommends that a test against the NHA system be performed prior to purchasing. Most of NHA’s content does not require a heavy amount of processing power and memory usage. NHA simulation experiences do require a substantial amount of both, which may occasionally cause issues loading simulation content.

** Due to the screen size and often running in a “mobile” mode, NHA does not recommend using mobile devices to access the NHA site or other content not offered through the NHA mobile application.
