Industry Context and Origins of the Project

The school is part of Zollege, founded in 2010 as Vandelay Education by Dr. Thomas Ince, a dentist who couldn't find well-trained dental assistants to hire. His brother Ryan, a physician, faced the same problem in the healthcare field, and together they collaborated on designing a medical assistant program with the same accelerated, in-office approach. The center cites data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics projecting 13% employment growth between 2025 and 2035 for medical assistants, with a national median wage of $45,690 per year.

Requirements and Contacting Admissions

The admissions team answers questions about the program, schedules, tuition, payment plans, enrollment requirements, and career opportunities. The center is licensed and regulated by the Texas Workforce Commission.
