Graduates of the Albany, NY and New York City-based career college exceed national pass rate benchmarks on CET, CPT, and CCMA national certification exams
ALBANY, NY, UNITED STATES, September 11, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Mildred Elley College, a career college with campuses in Albany, New York, and New York City, announced that its students have consistently outperformed national average pass rates on three National Healthcareer Association (NHA) certification exams: the Certified EKG Technician (CET), Certified Phlebotomy Technician (CPT), and Certified Clinical Medical Assistant (CCMA) examinations.
According to institutional exam performance data covering the 2024 through 2026 calendar years, Mildred Elley College students achieved pass rates exceeding the national average across all three certification categories. Notably, students achieved a 91 percent pass rate on the CET exam in 2024, a 94 percent pass rate on the CPT exam in 2024, and a 98 percent pass rate on the CCMA exam in 2026, each surpassing the corresponding national average for test-takers across the same period.
The CET, CPT, and CCMA certifications are administered by the National Healthcareer Association and are widely recognized credentials within the healthcare industry. Employers frequently use these certifications to evaluate the readiness of entry-level healthcare professionals, including medical assistants and clinical support staff, for roles in hospitals, physician offices, and outpatient care settings.
Mildred Elley College’s Medical Assistant Associate of Occupational Studies (A.O.S.) degree program and Clinical Medical Assistant certificate program both incorporate preparation for these certification exams directly into program coursework. Students enrolled in either program have the opportunity to sit for the CCMA exam, along with the CPT and CET exams, as part of their course of study, a structure the institution says is designed to give graduates a more complete set of credentials upon program completion.
Mildred Elley College has provided career-focused education in the Capital Region since 1917, and expanded to New York City in 2010. The institution offers certificate and associate degree programs in healthcare fields including Practical Nursing, Medical Assisting, and Massage Therapy, in addition to programs in business management and paralegal studies.
