About this school

National Institute for Medical Assistant Advancement (NIMAA) is a private non-profit trade school located in Denver, Colorado. It is accredited by the Accrediting Bureau of Health Education Schools and participates in federal Title IV student aid, meaning eligible students can use FAFSA-based aid to help pay for enrollment. The campus is focused on a single program family, medical assistant programs, which accounted for 155 completions among its student population.

NIMAA's completion rate stands at 79.5%, which is above the Colorado state average of 69.2%. The annual cost of attendance is reported at $19,826, and 71.2% of students receive Pell Grants, indicating the school serves a largely low-income student population. Median debt of graduates and median earnings 10 years after entry are not reported for this campus in federal data.

This campus may suit students seeking a focused, single-track program in medical assisting rather than a broad range of trade options. Because the program is concentrated in one field, it may fit those already decided on a healthcare-support career path, including adults changing careers, though program length is not reported for this campus in federal data. Prospective students should verify accreditation status directly with the Accrediting Bureau of Health Education Schools and review official outcome data on the U.S. Department of Education's College Scorecard before enrolling.
