Medical Office Administrator CCHIM-Accredited Diploma
Earn the only CCHIM-accredited MOA diploma in our network — 48 weeks of in-class training plus an 8-week practicum that prepares you for the National Certification Exam (NCE).
Your Future as a Medical Office Administrator
As an MOA you perform a variety of administrative duties in doctor's offices, hospitals, laboratories, clinics and other medical settings – from greeting patients, scheduling appointments and organizing files, to managing projects.

Verified Reviews
I came from retail with no healthcare background. The OSCAR and Accuro training made me instantly employable — I had two offers before my practicum ended and now work at a family practice in Mississauga.
OHIP billing felt intimidating on day one and second-nature by graduation. The instructors are working professionals — they know what clinics actually hire for.
