I'm guessing that we have not even one 7 year old member. And I'm sure that I agree with Delta when he asks why this might be considered the best program. I'm glad that the member has had a good experience with this school. After all, it is DETC accredited (and I think that the vocational stuff is what they do best) but if you're going to say that one school is "better" than another than you really should provide some evidence that extends beyond your own personal experience.

Beyond that I'd only say three things and this is related to the PCDI website.
1) When you link to PCDI through Google the first page that comes up requires you to register before getting any information. This is a big turn off to me because I know that if I'm just a curious browser and I register then I'm going to be getting emails from PCDI for the rest of my life.
2) When you link to a specific learning program (such as medical assisting) they tell you with bullet points what you will learn but there's no easy access to the actual courses, and their contents. Before I even consider signing in to a program I want to know EXACTLY what is in front of me.
3) I saw no easy access to costs. For me this is a HUGE red flag.

So, let's summarize. This is a school that restricts information about their programs until they collect all your personal information or, at least they make it hard to figure it all out (I confess that I didn't bother to spend the time). PCDI owns Ashworth. I don't know if that's saying something good or bad, I just believe it's a fact to take into consideration.

Beyond that I'd say that you might want to look at Penn Foster.

They also have a medical assistant program and a coding program, etc. They also have a website whose first page asks you to register, etc. I'm just offering it as a possible alternative. I have no way of knowing if one is better than the other. When you talk to them please ask about post-grad hiring rates. Get it in writing. In the end, that's your bottom line.

He is talking about the St. Augustine School of Medical Assistants In GA not the one in FL. The GA one is 'accredited' by the The National Accreditation and Certification Board. It's a fake agency.

Hi friends,

St.Augustine school of medical assistant is providing online medical Assistant course please tell me this course is related with Medical field or not?"

Wait a second, you ask about whether or not this medical assistant training program is related to the medical field in another thread a couple days ago then you state how the school is a "better program and a reasonable price." Did you finish this program in the span of a week? Sounds legitimate to me! Not!

Ummmm no it is not. Your posting random things just to bump this thread.

Arnav Kumar and his obnoxious spam-buddies have been shilling for this thoroughly-debunked "school" in another thread:

http://www.degreeinfo.com/general-distance-learning-discussions/46023-online-education-st-augustine-school-medical-assistant-2.html

We've posted a "debunking" site a couple of times: Skeptical Scalpel: School or Scam? St. Augustine School of Medical Assistants

Moderators: I think it's time to shut this topic down ... or they'll keep it bumped forever!
