Northwest Tennessee Adult Education is excited to offer another FREE opportunity to our service area: Clinical Medical Assistant!

This program will be virtual/online with the exception of one entrance testing day. Virtual classes with our instructor will be held on Wednesdays from 3-5pm for approximately 12 weeks.

You must have a high school diploma or equivalent, be at least 18 years of age, and have a minimum of 8th grade reading and math levels. You also need reliable internet and a computer.

This course ends with a certificate of completion and preps you to take the licensure exam, which would be an out of pocket expense for the student.

At this time, due to limited seats, the course is only being offered to residents of Benton, Carroll, Gibson, Henry, Madison, Obion, and Weakley counties.

Please email [email protected]. Only emails will receive response.

This program is funded by state and federal funds under the TDLWD.
