Nurse Aide Training (CNA)
The Nurse Aide Training course will provide the skills needed to work as a nurse aide. Upon completion of
this course, students are eligible to take the National Nurse Aide Assessment Program
Examination. Certification as a nurse aide allows students to gain entry-level employment
in a variety of healthcare work environments including hospitals, nursing homes and
other long-term care facilities, home health agencies, and rehabilitation facilities.
Students will complete 80 hours of a combination of classroom and laboratory instruction.
If successful in the classroom, students will then proceed to 48 hours of clinical
instruction at a state-approved long-term care facility. Students must successfully
complete both classroom and clinical portions to be eligible to take the exam.
