Do you need a highschool diploma or ged to be a medical office assistant?

Question

I'm wanting to go to school for something but have yet to get either so I've been trying to find a trade or something that i don't need My ged or High School diploma. I would go back to get it but it has been to long and I worry that I wont do well. Any suggestions?

Answer 1

If it's been that long, go get that GED!  Then go to trade school and get the certification you'll need to be hired in the field you want.  Simple as that.  You can work on your GED at your own speed, and the adult-ed teacher will tell you when you're ready to take the test.  You can either sit on your duff and worry about it, or you can go after it and get it.  Hmmm -- hard choice!

Good Luck!

Answer 2

I would suggest you to get your diploma because you would have a better opportunity to get in  whatever you want to be. Because GED doesn't sound like it would have a lot of opportunity... so I hope my suggestion helps...  

Answer 3

do you know what's odd about that question? you asking do you need a high school diploma or ged. even though most trade schools in this country require students to have a high school diploma or ged in oder to admitted, you're kind of suppose to graduate and get a high school diploma or ged.  

Answer 4

get your ged or diploma. because most trade schools wont accept you without one!  then you can do what ever you want!!
