Allied Health and Medical Assisting Services at New Professions Technical Institute

At under $25,000 in first-year earnings, this certificate trails both Florida's typical medical assisting programs ($26,264) and the national median by about $3,000—and that gap widens when you compare it to Florida's strongest performers. Manatee Technical College graduates earn $35,907 in their first year, nearly 50% more than New Professions graduates. While the relatively modest debt load of $9,020 keeps this from being a financial disaster, you're still looking at a debt-to-earnings ratio that takes a full five months of gross pay to cover.

The 17% earnings growth to $28,291 by year four offers some reassurance that graduates can build toward stability, though even that figure remains below what many entry-level medical assisting programs deliver right out of the gate. The 92% Pell Grant rate signals this program serves students with limited financial resources, making the below-median outcomes particularly concerning for families counting on immediate returns.

The small sample size here matters—these numbers could shift dramatically with more data. But right now, Florida families have clear alternatives. If proximity to Miami is essential, Miami Dade College's medical assisting programs show significantly stronger earnings. Unless there are specific scheduling or support services at New Professions that competitors can't match, this certificate appears overpriced for what it delivers in the job market.
