About Our Community College Partnerships
We’re proud to partner with community colleges nationwide to bring high-quality online certification programs in medical assisting, phlebotomy, and other healthcare fields right to their students.
These carefully curated partnerships allow community colleges to broaden their allied health offerings without the burden of hiring new faculty, building additional infrastructure, or developing their own curriculum. It’s a win-win that helps colleges meet growing workforce demands efficiently. Students get flexible, career-focused training while colleges expand their impact in the community.
Here’s how these partnerships benefit everyone involved:
- Expanded Offerings: Colleges can offer in-demand healthcare programs without additional overhead.
- Increased Enrollment: Flexible online programs attract non-traditional learners who are balancing responsibilities at home and in the professional world.
- Accredited Programs: ACT’s proven training aligns with national certification standards, preparing students for success in real healthcare roles.
- Revenue Opportunities: Colleges benefit from a tuition-based revenue-sharing model without operational headaches.
Benefits of Online Training Courses
The reality is that students are juggling more responsibilities than ever with work and family commitments. For many, advancing professionally or switching fields through traditional in-person classes feels out of reach. That’s where online certifications become invaluable for:
- Flexibility: Work at your own pace and around your schedule — whether that’s before or after traditional hours, or on weekends.
- Accessibility: With online programs, quality education comes to you.
- No Commute: Save time, money, and stress by skipping the drive to campus.
- Interactive Learning: Online tools make it easy to connect with classmates and instructors, no matter where you are.
- Cost-Effective: Affordable programs help students earn certifications without breaking the bank.
Improving Access to Education
Partnerships between ACT and participating community colleges open up access to education — especially in rural and underserved areas where quality programs can be lacking. The following are some of our key objectives:
- Community colleges are already champions of affordable education. By partnering with ACT, they can offer cost-effective certification programs that are accessible to students who need them most.
- ACT’s training programs equip local students with the skills to fill critical roles like medical assistants and phlebotomy technicians — addressing workforce gaps while supporting community health.
- Designed for easy access, ACT’s programs work with basic internet connectivity and user-friendly platforms, ensuring students in areas with limited infrastructure can still succeed.
- ACT’s partnerships also provide hybrid options, allowing students to pair online coursework with hands-on training at their community college’s labs — ensuring they get the best of both worlds.
