Health and Medical Administrative Services at Motoring Technical Training Institute

This certificate from Motoring Technical Training Institute shows strong first-year earnings at $36,643—easily outpacing the national median of $27,783—but the trajectory tells a different story. Graduates see their income drop 19% by year four to just $29,541, which is unusual for healthcare administration roles that typically offer steady career progression. While this program ranks in the 95th percentile nationally, it sits squarely at the state median in Massachusetts, where healthcare administrative roles often command higher pay. The debt load of $9,500 is manageable with that initial salary, creating a relatively low 0.26 debt-to-earnings ratio.

The small sample size here matters significantly—we're looking at fewer than 30 graduates, so these numbers could shift considerably year to year. The earnings decline could reflect graduates moving from full-time to part-time work, changing roles, or leaving the field entirely rather than a fundamental program weakness. What's clear is that first-year outcomes are solid, particularly compared to similar programs nationwide.

For parents evaluating this certificate against other Massachusetts options, the initial earnings match what Northern Essex and Bunker Hill community colleges deliver, but those programs may offer better long-term stability. If your child needs quick entry into the healthcare field and can secure one of those strong initial positions, this works as a low-debt option. Just don't count on earnings growth in the first few years after graduation.
