Zollege Background

Zollege was founded in 2010 as Vandelay Education by Dr. Thomas Ince, a dentist who couldn't find well-trained dental assistants to hire. Rather than wait for traditional programs to change, he created the program he wished existed: shorter, taught hands-on in working dental offices, and structured to be paid for without a loan. His brother Ryan, a physician, faced the same problem on the medical side, and the two collaborated on a medical assistant program.

License and Regulation

Fort Worth Medical Assistant School is licensed and regulated by the Texas Workforce Commission.
