New Destiny Health Career Center is an equal opportunity institution and offers admission to anyone who
meets the admission standards and can benefit from the training, without regard to race, religion, sex, age,
color, national origin, physical disability or place of residence. Students must be at least 18 years of age to
enroll in the school. Applicants will need to provide proof of age by presenting a government issued ID with
photo and birthdate (i.e. driver’s license, passport, state ID card).
The school accepts enrollment applications on a daily basis by appointment. Those who are interested in
enrolling in the program are encouraged to call the school to schedule an appointment to speak with the
Director. Walk-ins will be required to schedule an appointment in the future. Students who do not have a
High School Diploma or GED are required to take the Wonderlic Ability-to-Benefit (ATB) Assessment
Test. The cost for the initial Wonderderlic Ability-to-Benefit Assessment Test is $15. There is a $15 fee for
each re-take.
The Wonderlic Ability-to-Benefit (ATB) Assessment Test is designed to identify students who possess the
basic skills necessary to succeed in a post-secondary education program, but who do not have a high school
diploma or G.E.D. The test measures math and verbal skills.
High School Diploma
Students enrolled in the program are required to have a high school diploma, G.E.D and meet the minimum
test score requirements on the Wonderlic Ability-to-Benefit (ATB) Assessment Test.
A student with a foreign high school diploma will be deemed as having met the high school diploma
requirement with an official diploma evaluation from a member of the NACES (National Association of
Credential Evaluation Services) or AICE (Association of International Credential Evaluators) i.e. SpanTran
or World Education Services.

Assessment Test. There is a $15 fee for each assessment test re-take that must be paid prior to the re-take.

being placed at an externship as a clean background is a requirement for some clinical externship sites.
