How to Apply to CLS Health Career Academy
Complete the online preliminary application through the CLS Health Career Academy admissions portal.
The application begins the admissions process and allows the Academy to review your interest in the Medical Assistant Program.
The admissions team reviews basic eligibility requirements, including age, educational background, required documentation, and availability to participate in program activities.
Applicants who meet preliminary requirements may proceed to the admissions readiness assessment.
Applicants complete a 30-question assessment designed to evaluate their readiness for medical assistant training.
The assessment may cover reading comprehension, applied reasoning, professional judgment, accountability, motivation, and understanding of the medical assistant profession.
Applicants participate in an interview with Academy leadership.
The interview focuses on program expectations, motivation, communication, readiness for training, and understanding of the responsibilities associated with becoming a medical assistant.
Applicants who successfully complete the initial evaluation may receive conditional acceptance into the Medical Assistant Program.
Conditional acceptance means additional enrollment requirements must be completed before admission is finalized.
Conditionally accepted applicants must submit the required documentation to verify their eligibility.
This may include proof of age, high school completion, satisfactory background screening, and other required program records.
Before signing an Enrollment Agreement, prospective students receive important information about the program and Academy policies.
Documents include the School Catalog, program outline, tuition and fees, cancellation and refund policies, attendance requirements, academic progress standards, and other required disclosures.
Students must review and acknowledge the required information before enrollment.
After meeting admission requirements and reviewing the required disclosures, eligible applicants complete the Academy's Enrollment Agreement with an authorized school representative.
The agreement establishes the formal terms and conditions of enrollment.
Enrollment is completed after the Enrollment Agreement has been executed and the Academy has accepted all required enrollment documentation.
Students receive additional information about preparing for the program.
Students must complete a tour of the Academy's training facilities and program-related equipment on or before their first scheduled class day.
The tour introduces students to the learning environment, including the classroom and clinical simulation laboratory.
Students acknowledge completion of the required tour.
