Elite Medical Academy

What Elite Medical Academy does

Elite Medical Academy is a privately held, Florida-based healthcare certification training company that delivers online and in-person courses preparing students for entry-level and continuing healthcare roles. Its core product portfolio covers Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) preparation, a 6-hour Medication Technician (Med Tech) course with a 2-hour renewal option, EKG Technician prep, CPR/BLS, First Aid, Blood Borne Pathogens/HIV training, and Continuing Education Units, alongside bundled packages (Silver, Gold/Platinum) and an optional $39.99 CNA Practice Kit.

The company operates a product-led, direct-to-consumer model: students enroll through elitemedacademy.com, pay via Square, and access video lectures, study guides, and practice exams through a Teachable-hosted student portal. Content is produced and taught by nurses with prior CNA field experience, and curricula are aligned to third-party certification and state requirements — specifically Prometric for Florida CNA state exams, the National Performance Specialist (NPS) for EKG certification, the American Safety and Health Institute (ASHI) for CPR/BLS, and state regulatory standards in Florida, Minnesota, and California for Med Tech. Phone-based enrollment support is provided during business hours.

Revenue is generated almost entirely through one-time course and bundle purchases rather than subscriptions. The customer base is dominated by individual healthcare career entrants and working healthcare assistants seeking certification or renewal, with a secondary, less developed business channel targeting assisted living facilities, nursing homes, and home care agencies for staff certification. The company is founder-led, bootstrapped, single-headquartered in Largo, Florida, and discloses no institutional capital or headcount data.
