About Corpus Christi Medical Assistant School
Medical Assistant Training in Corpus Christi, Texas
Corpus Christi Medical Assistant School is a healthcare training center located in Corpus Christi, Texas, that prepares students to work as medical assistants. The program is taught in real medical offices and combines theoretical instruction with direct practice on the equipment and tools used in daily clinical work.
The school presents itself as a joint initiative between Zollege and local medical offices, so that training takes place in the same environment where the profession is practiced. Zollege was founded in 2010 by Dr. Thomas Ince, a dentist, with the goal of offering shorter programs, taught in working clinics, and with a payment structure that would avoid student debt. His brother Ryan, a physician, brought that same approach to the medical assisting field.
An Intensive 18-Week Program
The training consists of an 18-week course designed to enter the job market without student debt. The school offers flexible start dates throughout the year and various payment options, including weekly plans. The admissions process is organized in four steps: learn about the program and speak with the admissions team, complete the application by choosing a start date and payment plan, pay the deposit to reserve a spot — which is deducted from tuition — and complete the program following the school's guidance. When classes begin, students receive a free set of scrubs.
The school's catalog indicated an upcoming start date for November 7, 2026, with a Saturday schedule from 8:00 to 12:30, and warned of limited seats.

Industry Context
