The Patient Care Technician is a valuable member of the Allied Health Care Team. Because of the increasing shortage of trained health care professionals, Hospitals are using the PATIENT CARE TECHNICIAN to handle patient care that was previous handled by other medical professionals.

The PATIENT CARE TECHNICIAN course is designed for the Nursing Assistant/Aides who wants to move in their present employment - or improve their current skills - and employment ability. The PATIENT CARE TECHNICIAN course is a comprehensive 120 hour course.

Students are encouraged to register early, as seating is very limited.

Yes, we have many out-of-state students pursue our medical billing and coding study at the Manhattan Institute. We do not charge out-of-state students higher tuition. All students pay the same price for their education. Although most of our students come from the tri-state area, and the five boroughs of New York City, Brooklyn, Queens, Bronx, Staten Island, and Manhattan, our Midtown New York City location makes it easy for students in the tri-State area - Long Island, Westchester, Upstate NY, New Jersey, Connecticut and Pennsylvania. We have had students from all over the United States study with us. In fact, we have had several students from different foreign countries. Our low tuition makes it a very good alternative. Many students combine study with a vacation. New York City is a great City to visit, and even a better one when you pursue an education at the Manhattan Institute.

No, the Manhattan Institute is not a College or University. We are a licensed and accredited Career School. College and Universities are designed to give long training and a degree. Students enroll with us because they are not interested in going to a College. A College or University offers a program two to four years. Our classes are short, most are under two months.

I saw my local college had an Patient Care Technician course in adult education. Is this the same as your school?

No, Adult Education offered at Colleges and Universities offer a certificate program. Their course has not gone through the same State or Federal Accreditation procedures as the Manhattan Institute. A College will offer courses, which have been traditionally taught at Career Schools as a way to raise revenue, with no Federal or State supervision.

We are better at what we do. We only teach Vocational education. A college or university lists career school programs under "adult education" and they give you a certificate, not a diploma. The Manhattan Institute is authorized by the State Education Department to issue a diploma to all our graduates. Many College and Universities even "farm" this adult education to a third party who rents space. Students think that the College has authority over the course, but in reality they do not.

Can a foreign student study in your school?

Yes, we have many foreign students who choose to study at the Manhattan Institute. We do not charge foreign students higher tuition. All students pay the same price for their education. Although most of our students come from the United States of America, we do have many foreign students who enroll every year. The Manhattan Institute is a New York State licensed and Nationally accredited school, so you can feel confident that our diploma will be recognized when you return to your country and pursue your chosen career.

Our New York City location gives our foreign students a wonderful opportunity to take in all the culture and wonders Manhattan has to offer, while pursuing there education. Our low tuition makes it a very good alternative. Many students combine study with a vacation. New York City is a great City to visit, and even a better one when you study at the Manhattan Institute.
