Allied Health and Medical Assisting Services at CCI Training Center-Arlington

CCI Training Center delivers above-average outcomes for students entering medical assisting, particularly when compared to Texas alternatives. At $29,833 in first-year earnings, graduates earn $5,270 more than the typical Texas program graduate and rank in the 60th percentile statewide—a meaningful difference in a field where many programs cluster around $24,000-$25,000. The program costs $9,500, creating a debt-to-earnings ratio of 0.32 that should allow graduates to manage payments on entry-level medical assistant salaries.

The gap between CCI and the state's top performers is worth noting: Houston Community College and Lone Star College System graduates earn roughly $5,000 more annually. However, those are large community college systems with potentially different student demographics and geographic wage advantages. For a private training center serving predominantly lower-income students (80% receive Pell grants), CCI's outcomes suggest effective job placement support that helps graduates access the better-paying positions in the Dallas-Fort Worth medical market.

The moderate sample size means some year-to-year variation is possible, but the program's consistent performance above both state and national medians indicates reliable value. For families seeking a quick credential that leads to immediate employment without crushing debt, this represents a straightforward path into healthcare support roles.
