About Us

Our Mission

First Institute meets the educational needs of students, employers and the community by designing quality occupational specific training programs utilizing relevant methodology practices.

Focused Training – Get Skilled Sooner

We believe that comprehensive, hands-on training is the best way to learn. Our instructors have worked in the industry and are here to share their experience and expertise, while providing the education you need to graduate with a well-rounded understanding of your chosen field.

We specialize in Medical Assisting, Dental Assisting and Massage Therapy career training programs that feature:

  • small class sizes — for more personalized instruction than you would get at a large school
  • hands-on learning — because performing the skill is as important as knowing the theory behind it
  • practical skill application — so you are fully trained and ready to move into your new career

While First Institute’s programs have evolved over the years to meet the demands of the job market, our total commitment to exceed our students’ expectations has always remained constant.
