Our programs
1) GED Preparation
The GED Test, or General Educational Development Test, is made up of four tests. These tests are designed to measure your proficiency in standard high-school subjects for anyone 16 or older not enrolled in high school. Rather than testing your memorization of specific facts, dates, or terms, the GED Test requires you to demonstrate applied knowledge and skills related to specific situations. By passing the GED Test, you will earn a high-school equivalency diploma. According to the GED Testing Service, 95 percent of U.S. colleges and universities accept GED graduates. Most trade schools, community colleges and off-job training programs require you to pass the GED test before you can benefit from their programs. Getting additional training from these sources adds to your skill set and is another way to increase your appeal to future employers. A higher education leads to better jobs, and better jobs have another benefit.

2) Healthcare Advocate
A Health Advocate is an individual who provides direct and personalized services to a patient and/or their family as they navigate the healthcare system. Health advocates also engage in activities that promote health and access to health care in communities and the larger public. A Health Advocate’s role is to assist, educate, and support patients and their families so they are able to make appropriate healthcare decisions for their specific situation. Health Advocates assist patients in medical, eldercare, insurance, legal and administrative areas regarding their long-term or acute care needs. Hospitals, insurance companies and some employer and community groups can offer health advocates, health coaches, patient navigators or care coordinator services as a covered benefit to their members.

3) Medical Office Administrators
Medical office administrators are the backbone of medical and healthcare facilities/offices. While doctors and nurses are experts when it comes to directly caring for patients, they are not necessarily skilled at or focused on administrative tasks. Medical office administrators perform the daily tasks that keep doctors’ offices and hospitals functioning. They bring their education and experience with medical terminology, customer service, and healthcare services to the table as well. Medical office administrators have a unique job in that they are involved in both direct and indirect patient care, performing tasks hat require interactions with patients, doctors, and insurance companies while also working behind the scenes.
