Who It’s For

Why Do This Course

A Skill Clinics Now Need

Care moved online and stayed there. Someone has to run the appointments and the platform.

Add It to Reception Work

If you already book patients, this is the next layer. Same job, wider reach.

Learn on Real Software

The college is a MedTech Partner. Software access comes with the course.

Where The Skills Fit

Where These Skills Could Take You

Clinics, call centres and virtual services all run appointments now. The work is easy to picture. A screen, a schedule, and a patient who cannot get to town.

Telehealth Support Assistant

Keeping online appointments running smoothly.

Virtual Healthcare Administrator

The admin behind a service with no waiting room.

Online Medical Receptionist

The front desk, only it is a screen.

Telehealth Customer Service Representative

First contact for patients using the service.

Remote Medical Scheduler

Fitting patients and practitioners together.

Healthcare Call Centre Support

Handling the calls a clinic cannot take.

Roles where these skills are useful, not promised outcomes. Every role is different, and some need more study or experience. Clinical practitioner roles sit behind separate registered training.

Common Questions

Do I need health experience?

No. There are no entry requirements at all for this one.

What does it cost each week?

From $29 a week on a flexible plan, or pay upfront. Enquire to confirm current pricing.

How long does it take?

About 40 hours across six topics, with 6 months of access.

Do I get to use the software?

Yes. The college is a MedTech Partner, so the software comes too.

Is this only for receptionists?

No. It suits health admin and support staff too. Also anyone adding it to a CV.

Are there exams?

None. Tutors support you by phone and email through business hours.

Is this course accredited?

It comes from an ICOES accredited centre. The centre holds Official Accreditation with the CPD Standards Office. That is accreditation for professional development. It is not NZQA accredited, so it is not a national qualification. Those are different things. Clinics care that you can run the appointment.

What if I change my mind?

There is a 10-Day Money Back Guarantee from the day you enrol.
