Get Prepared
Congrats on taking the first steps towards your education goals. Have you received your approval email from Guild? If not, don’t worry, you should receive an email within seven days of submitting your Guild application.
If you have received your approval email, double congratulations! Here are your next steps in completing your application for your MedCerts program:
1 — Confirm your spot
Once your Guild application is approved, you'll need to confirm your spot in MedCerts's program for the next start date.
Log in to your Guild account and visit your Applications page to confirm your spot, then MedCerts will reach out to you with next steps. You will not be able to enroll at MedCerts until this step is completed.
Be sure to confirm your spot by the 27th day of the month before your start date or you will have to start in a later term. For example, if your enrollment month is January, you must confirm your enrollment by December 27th.
If you don't confirm your spot by the 29th day, your start date will automatically update to the next start date available (up to 90 days out). You should be able to view your new start date and confirm your spot for the new start date within your Guild portal. If you don't confirm your spot for the updated start date, you will need to re-apply.
2 — Look for Communication from the MedCerts Admissions Team
Once you’ve confirmed your enrollment through Guild, an Admissions Advisor from MedCerts will be reaching out to you via email within 3 business days to get the MedCerts enrollment process started. For some programs, a pre-assessment may be required, so if you are enrolling in ASHP Pharmacy Technician Program or the Certified Professional Coder Program, be on the lookout for an email with the appropriate links to complete those pre-assessments. If you are not enrolling in the programs above, you will receive an email from MedCerts and a HelloSign document to submit your Student Enrollment Application. You must complete your pre-assessment and/or HelloSign document prior to cohort start (first business day of the month) or you will need to re-apply for the next cohort. Once you have signed and returned the enrollment application, you will receive a second email from your MedCerts Admissions Advisor informing you of your acceptance and start date. You will receive your official welcome email on your program start date with your Student Success Advisor's contact information.
If you have previous education outside of the U.S. (i.e., foreign credentials), there aren't extra requirements to complete at MedCerts.
3 — Connect with your support at MedCerts
Admissions Advisor: If you have any questions about how to complete your enrollment, you can reach out to your assigned MedCerts Admissions Advisor.
Student Success Advisor: On your first day of your program, you will receive an introductory email from your MedCerts Student Success Advisor. Your Advisor will help you create a Student Success plan and will be there to support you through the completion of your program.
Subject Matter Experts: Your Student Success Advisor can connect you with a Subject Matter Expert (SME) in your program of study. They can help you with additional instruction to ensure you stay on track.
4 — Connect with your Guild Growth Coach
Once your enrollment in your MedCerts Program has been confirmed, your Guild Growth Coach will reach out to connect. Your Guild Growth Coach is an additional layer of support and can help with any questions throughout your program. They’ll also work with you to explore new programs if you’re interested.
