NOCROP Adult Education Programs: Medical Assistant and More!
North Orange County Regional Occupational Programs (NOCROP) equip and empower tomorrow’s innovative professionals through career education, providing students with real-world experiences and hands-on skills not offered in traditional classrooms.
Students also benefit from strong connections with regional industries. Local businesses provide learning sites and maintain persistent contact to ensure that our labs and classrooms are equipped with industry-standard technology. In return, NOCROP connects companies to future employees who have received top-of-the-line training.
Pathways include the Medical Assistant and Vocational Nursing programs, which are undergoing some significant changes, including a shorter completion time for Vocational Nursing, increased classroom space, and new equipment. Many students choose this versatile career path because it gives them many stackable options. Students can start with basic medical classes, then proceed to obtain medical assistant certification. Afterward, they can go even further by becoming a nursing assistant and continue their education to become a vocational nurse. Preparation for the National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX) is also included in the program.
