How do clinical hours (Externships) work?

After completing the 4-month online portion of the program and passing your national certification exam, you’ll move into your clinical externship, where you’ll complete 80–160 in-person hours at a local healthcare facility. Stepful provides access to our Externship Booking Platform, which allows you to secure interview opportunities with sites near you. Externships typically begin within 1–3 months of earning your certification and are scheduled during weekday business hours. You can complete your externship on a full-time or part-time schedule, depending on what works best for you, as long as you’re available during those hours. Placement is subject to site availability. With a network of over 8,000 clinical partners nationwide and hundreds more added each month, Stepful helps connect you to real-world opportunities. This hands-on experience is a vital part of the program, giving you the chance to apply classroom learning, build confidence with patients, and form connections that can lead to full-time employment.

Do you help graduates find a job?

At Stepful, our mission is to break down barriers to healthcare careers and help every student move into a meaningful role after graduation. To support that mission, we offer a structured Job Coaching Program that guides graduates into full-time healthcare roles after completing their clinical hours. Students begin with an 8-week Job Readiness Cohort that combines weekly live coaching, job search strategy, resume building, interview practice, and workplace success skills. Graduates also receive weekly job leads, and their resumes are shared with Stepful’s healthcare employer partners. For those who need additional support, Stepful provides up to 2 more months of on-demand 1:1 coaching, including mock interviews, resume reviews, and targeted job leads. With this approach, about 60% of graduates secure jobs within 2 months and over 80% within 4 months of starting the job coaching program.

Are clinical hours (Externships) guaranteed?

No — externships are not guaranteed. But Stepful is committed to helping every student gain real-world, hands-on experience and ultimately land a full-time job in healthcare. Our externship booking platform and support team are here to connect you with opportunities and guide you through the process. Some things that can help speed up your externship placement: • Staying responsive and in good communication with your coach • Completing all eligibility requirements (like paperwork, background checks, or health forms) on time Some things that can delay externship placement: • Limited site availability, especially in rural areas • Missing deadlines or being unresponsive to your coach • Missing scheduled interviews or acting unprofessionally with a clinic partner By staying engaged and professional, you’ll put yourself in the best position to secure an externship quickly and smoothly. What Stepful is doing is unheard of in healthcare education — we place hundreds of students in externships and jobs every single week. It’s proof of how deeply we believe in our students and how far we’ll go to make sure you graduate confident, supported, and job-ready.

Which Medical Assistant certification exam am I eligible to take after completing this program?

Stepful’s Medical Assistant program prepares you for the Certified Clinical Medical Assistant (CCMA) exam, issued by the National Healthcareer Association (NHA). Our curriculum is aligned with NHA standards, ensuring that graduates are eligible to sit for this nationally recognized credential — one that many clinics, hospitals, and healthcare employers look for when hiring medical assistants. The CCMA exam includes 180 multiple-choice questions and carries a fee of $160. The exam fee is not included in tuition, but students who register through Stepful may be eligible for a rebate on the exam fee, lowering the cost. You may take your NHA exam online or in-person. We’re proud to say Stepful students score about 10 points above the national average on the CCMA exam — a reflection of the quality instruction, curriculum, and support we provide every student.

Does the NHA CCMA certification count for college credit?

Yes. The NHA CCMA exam is approved by the American Council on Education (ACE), and it is recommended for 5 semester hours of lower-division credit (associate or bachelor’s level) when accepted by a college or university. Once you pass the exam, you’ll receive an ACE transcript via Credly that documents the credit. Keep in mind: each school decides whether to accept the credit and how many credits will apply toward your degree.

How much does the Clinical Kit cost?

The Clinical Kit is included in your tuition at no extra cost. There’s nothing additional you need to pay for the kit.

How do I get my Clinical Kit?

You’ll receive instructions in your online classroom partway through the program on how to order your Clinical Kit. Once you place your order, it will be shipped directly to your home, and you’ll receive tracking information so you know when to expect delivery.

Does the Clinical Kit contain real medical equipment?

Yes. The kit contains real, medical-grade supplies so you can safely practice clinical skills at home. Items include: • Syringes and needles (for practice only) • Vacutainer tubes and holders • Tourniquet • Alcohol prep pads and bandages • Blood pressure cuff and stethoscope • Thermometer • Gloves and sharps container • Other materials used for injections, venipuncture, and vital signs Your instructor will guide you step by step on how to use this equipment safely, and you’ll complete graded assignments to demonstrate competency with each skill before moving forward.

Is Stepful's Medical Assistant program accredited?

Stepful’s Medical Assistant program is not institutionally accredited like a college or university. Instead, our program is designed to prepare students for the Certified Clinical Medical Assistant (CCMA) exam, which is issued by the National Healthcareer Association (NHA) — an accredited certification agency recognized by employers nationwide. This means that when you complete the program, you are eligible to sit for the CCMA exam — a credential that many clinics, hospitals, and healthcare employers recognize when hiring medical assistants. We only accept students in regions where this credential is valid and widely recognized by employers. To confirm your eligibility, complete our free online application — it only takes a few minutes and will let you know right away if we serve your area.

Yes. Stepful is a trusted education provider with a proven track record of preparing students for healthcare careers. More than 8,000 clinical partners nationwide host our students for externships, and over 30,000 students are actively enrolled today. Stepful was also recently recognized by TIME Magazine as the #1 edtech company in the United States, a reflection of the quality and impact of our programs.

For externships, up-to-date vaccinations are generally required; the specific list and any additional onboarding requirements are set by each individual clinical site. In addition, the program includes an 8-week Job Coaching Program to help you land a full-time job. No textbooks are required — all learning materials are available in your online classroom.

Is the program online or in-person? How long is the program?

Stepful’s Medical Assistant program is 100% online for 4 months (17 weeks) of live classes and coursework. After completing the online portion of the program and earning your national NHA CCMA certification, you’ll gain access to our clinical externship booking platform to secure interview opportunities for in-person clinical hours (80–160 hours) at a local healthcare facility. Externships typically begin within 1–3 months after certification.

How does Stepful's Medical Assistant program compare to community college or trade school programs?

Community colleges and trade schools often take 1–2 years to complete, while Stepful’s Medical Assistant program can be finished in just 4 months online, followed by externship hours. Our mission is to make healthcare careers more accessible by offering training that is faster, more affordable, and focused on real outcomes. You’ll learn in live online classes, practice hands-on skills with your Clinical Kit, and receive personalized career coaching to help you prepare for certification and your job search. Instead of spending years and thousands more in tuition, Stepful is designed to help you graduate job-ready and start building your healthcare career sooner.

How do online classes work at Stepful?

Coursework is unlocked one week at a time so you can stay focused without feeling overwhelmed. You’ll also practice at home with your Clinical Kit and build confidence through patient soft skill simulations.

How to get certified & become a Medical Assistant in Illinois

Medical assistants have great job security, earn a decent salary, and make a difference in the lives of patients. It’s a career you can get into fairly quickly, too since it doesn’t require previous healthcare experience. Here are the necessary steps to become a medical assistant in Illinois:

01 Obtain a High School Diploma or GED

In Illinois, becoming a medical assistant is very accessible. All you need to do is graduate from high school or earn your GED. You will need your diploma or GED certificate when you apply for training programs or jobs.

02 Enroll in & Complete a Medical Assistant Course

Illinois does not require a license or certification to work as a medical assistant. However, employers prefer to hire medical assistants who have some training and are certified.

Courses that prepare you for a national certification exam, like ours here at Stepful, can be completed in a few months entirely online. So, not only will you gain knowledge, skills, and confidence, but you will also increase your chances of getting hired.

03 Complete a Medical Assistant Externship

Some medical assistant training programs include an externship component where students experience the job firsthand in a healthcare setting.

Healthcare systems in Illinois, like Shawnee Health and many others, offer externships or apprenticeships for aspiring medical assistants.

At Stepful, we assist students in good academic and financial standing in securing externships at our 8,000 partner clinics. This opportunity includes 80 to 160 clinical hours, providing valuable hands-on experience prior to starting full-time employment.

With an externship, you can apply your online learning in real-world situations under professional supervision. This kind of hands-on training is invaluable for you and future employers.

04 Pass your Medical Assistant Certification Exam

Getting certified shows employers that you are competent and prepared. It can lead you to better jobs and a higher salary. Since Illinois does not require a specific certification, you can choose which certifying organization to test with.

Most training programs prepare their students to test for the credentials of Certified Medical Assistant (CMA), Certified Clinical Medical Assistant (CCMA), or Registered Medical Assistant (RMA).

Our Illinois Medical Assistant Program prepares students to test for their CCMA certification. This certification is more focused on the clinical aspects of medical assisting as opposed to the administrative work.

05 Search for Jobs

Job search sites like Indeed and ZipRecruiter list many job openings for medical assistants in Illinois.

Likewise, healthcare systems in Illinois, like Northwestern Medicine and Advocate Healthcare, have postings for medical assistants in the various hospitals and practices they run.

Here at Stepful, students have access to resume services, mock interviews, and 1:1 support in finding a job in their areas. We support you from enrollment to employment.
