A Year of Elite National Recognition
It has been a banner year for the Hunter family. We are incredibly proud to be named one of the 2025 USA Today Top Vocational Schools in the country. This prestigious ranking reflects our high graduation rates and the real-world success of our alumni.
Building on that momentum, we have also been recognized as a 2026 Education Insider Top Business School. Whether you are training at our Levittown campus or our celebrated Medford location, you are attending one of the most respected technical institutions on Long Island.
20 Years of Innovation: Medical and Technology Training in Medford
Since opening our Medford doors in 2006, we’ve expanded our programs to meet the evolving needs of the Long Island economy. We aren’t just teaching for today; we are preparing students for the high-tech landscape of tomorrow through our three core pillars:
1. Online Medical Billing and Coding
Our newly updated 2026 Medical Billing and Coding program is the gold standard for health care administration. Available 100% online with live instructors, this program now features Practicode, using real, redacted patient scenarios to give you on-the-job experience before you even graduate. From Medford to Levittown, our students are mastering the ICD-10 and CPT codes that power the Long Island health care system.
2. Computer Technician Networking Specialist
For those who want to be the backbone of Long Island’s tech infrastructure, our CTNS program is unrivaled. In as little as 7½ months, you’ll move from a computer hobbyist to a professional ready for CompTIA A+ and Network+ certifications. At our Medford and Levittown labs, you don’t just read about hardware—you build it, secure it, and troubleshoot it hands-on.
3. Web Application Design and Development
The digital economy is booming in Suffolk County, and our Web App program is the launchpad. This is more than a bootcamp. It’s a 30-week deep dive into full-stack development. Our students learn Python, JavaScript, and ReactJS, while also mastering A.I.-powered coding tools. You’ll graduate with a professional portfolio and the skills to build the next generation of mobile-responsive apps and e-commerce stores.
