Allied Health Job Training for Adults From Tec Centro Berks
Tec Centro Berks runs four Allied Health training programs out of 450 S 6th St in Reading that help adults prepare for entry-level healthcare careers through practical training, hands-on learning, and support with enrollment steps. The four are Medical Assistant, Certified Nurse Aide, Phlebotomy, and Medical Records and Billing Specialist.
The programs are designed for individuals who want to build career-ready skills and take the next step toward employment in the healthcare field. Students can explore career pathways in patient care, medical office support, clinical assisting, medical records, billing, and phlebotomy. One physical requirement is listed, and only for the Certified Nurse Aide program: standing for extended periods and lifting at least 50 lbs.
The Medical Assistant program prepares students for work in medical offices, clinics, and healthcare environments. Students learn patient intake and basic clinical support, medical office procedures, healthcare communication, medical records and documentation, safety and infection control, and workplace readiness for healthcare careers. Those who complete it may earn the Certified Clinical Medical Assistant certification through the National Healthcareer Association, along with a certificate of completion from Tec Centro Berks.
The Certified Nurse Aide program prepares students for entry-level patient care roles in long-term care and healthcare environments, including supporting patients with daily care, safety, communication, and basic healthcare responsibilities. Graduates may pursue entry-level opportunities in long-term care facilities, nursing homes and healthcare centers, and students who finish are prepared for the Certified Nurse Aide pathway and related Nurse Aide training requirements.
The Phlebotomy program covers blood collection basics, specimen handling, safety and infection control, patient communication, healthcare documentation, and workplace readiness for clinical settings. Graduates may pursue entry-level work in laboratories, clinics, hospitals, blood donation centers, and other healthcare environments, and may earn certification through the National Healthcareer Association along with a certificate of completion from Tec Centro Berks.
The Medical Records and Billing Specialist program covers medical records basics, healthcare billing support, insurance and documentation procedures, medical office communication, patient information handling, and workplace readiness for administrative healthcare roles. Graduates may pursue entry-level roles in medical offices, billing departments, healthcare administration, insurance-related support, and patient records.
