Health and Medical Administrative Services at Concorde Career College-North Hollywood

With only a small cohort to evaluate, the numbers here suggest competent execution rather than standout results. Concorde-North Hollywood graduates earn $30,210 in their first year—beating both California's median ($26,827) and the national average ($27,783) for health admin certificates. The program places at the 60th percentile statewide, which means it's outperforming roughly half of California's 155 competing programs. That's respectable positioning, though clearly not elite—Santa Barbara City College graduates earn 56% more, and several other California schools push past $40,000.

The debt picture works in graduates' favor: $9,494 borrowed against $30,210 earned yields a manageable 0.31 ratio. Graduates could theoretically clear this debt in four months if they dedicated their entire paycheck to it. Earnings tick up modestly to $31,298 by year four, showing stability if not dramatic growth.

The main limitation here is statistical: we're looking at fewer than 30 graduates, so one unusually successful (or struggling) student could swing these figures meaningfully. For parents of students specifically interested in healthcare administration who need credential-only training rather than a full degree, this delivers predictable entry into a stable field at reasonable cost. Just understand you're paying for access and training, not for a program that will dramatically separate your child from the pack.
