MA Renew provides online continuing education for medical assistants. Our courses are built to satisfy the CE requirements certifying bodies ask for at recertification, and you complete them at your own pace.

You can buy a single course on its own, or an annual membership that covers the full library for a year. Current prices are on the pricing page.

Credit hours are listed on every course before you enroll, so you always know what a course is worth before you pay for it.

A current web browser and an internet connection. Courses work on desktop, tablet and phone — nothing to install.

Our courses are designed against the continuing education requirements medical assistant certifying bodies publish. Requirements differ by credential and change over time, so confirm the specifics with your own certifying body before you rely on a particular course.
