- Blended learning – Students will first complete required hours of online training required prior to the listed in-classroom dates. Access to the online material will be granted soon after registration. Those who do not complete the online portion will not be allowed into the in-person sessions and must reschedule.
- Classroom learning / lab and clinicals – after completing the online portion of the class, students will attend required hours of classroom training, including skills testing and supervised practicals.
- After successful completion of steps 1 and 2, students may apply for employment and/or register for the state exam for licensure (or certification in IA) if applicable. All information for state testing will be provided after your course.
Prerequisites: Students must be 16 years of age or older. Scrubs and masks are required for in-person sessions. Feel free to contact our office with any questions. Though not a prerequisite for CNA training, it is highly recommended that you also have a current Basic Life Support (BLS) CPR certification card. This is required by most employers and is a separate class/certification. Information on options to take this course (if needed/desired) will be emailed prior to your course and can be found here or by selecting BLS from the navigation menu on our website.
