We strongly agree with Kristen Fisher, Career Expert of eHow, who puts it very well:

Steer clear of unaccredited programs that promise to offer you a medical assistant certificate via distance learning without spending time in the clinical setting. Although bona fide accredited distance learning programs may exist, they all should involve an onsite clinical portion and they all should be accredited by CAAHEP or ABHES.
