Dual Success: High School Diploma and Medical Assisting at Milan Institute

Through the innovative C4L program, students can simultaneously complete their high school education while training for a career in medical assisting. Milan Institute is offering a unique opportunity for aspiring medical assistants who lack a high school diploma.

A Game-Changing Opportunity

The C4L program serves as an online supplement, allowing Milan Institute students to earn their high school diploma alongside their vocational training. This dual-track approach is particularly beneficial for those pursuing the medical assisting program, as it ensures they meet the licensure requirements upon graduation.

Student Experiences

Jaivionne Richardson found the initial stages challenging, juggling new learning experiences with high school coursework and family responsibilities.

“Having to learn something completely new and have to do your homework for your high school diploma was tough,” he admits. However, persistence paid off.

“Once I did I was able to knock it out and complete the program. Having my diploma is a huge weight off my shoulders.”

Zwyanika Clark, inspired by her brother’s recommendation, saw the program as a second chance.

“Life happened and I wasn’t able to get my high school diploma, so this sparked my interest,” she explains. Despite the demanding schedule, Clark found the program manageable.

“After about a month I got the hang of it, and it was just routine. I’m so glad that I came here and got it done.”

Flexible Learning Environment

The program’s structure allows students to balance their studies with personal commitments. Clark appreciated the schedule, saying, “The schedule was great so I could be home with my daughter and have childcare for our days on campus.”

The C4L program at Milan Institute is proving to be a valuable pathway for students to achieve both their high school diploma and career goals in medical assisting, opening doors to new opportunities and brighter futures.
