Accelerate Your Healthcare Career with a CNA Certification

Work at a hospital, in-home health provider, assisted living facilities, and more.

Additionally, this course is often a requirement for those wanting to become a Registered Nurse or a prerequisite to entering a pre-medicine program. 

Choose to take your course 100% in person or as an online hybrid. Either way, your tuition is all-inclusive and includes one attempt to pass your written and skills exams on site at the end of your course.

Advance Your Medical Skills as a CMA

Whether this is your first certification or a dual certification to become a stronger CNA job candidate, the 40-hour Certified Medication Aide Course provides the training needed to administer medications to patients under the supervision of a licensed healthcare professional.

When it comes to the skill level you will achieve in this course, there are multiple titles that may be used to describe your job. Certified Medication Aide or CMA is the most common. However, some employers are also calling these employees Qualified Medication Aides or QMAs. Both terms are interchangeable.

Flexible Learning Options: In-Person and Online Hybrid Courses

Our Certified Nurse Aide (CNA) Course is offered in two formats: 100% in person or an online hybrid. If you benefit from a structured schedule, thrive with peer interaction, and seek immediate feedback, then the traditional option may be best for you. If you are looking for more flexibility and the ability to move at your own pace (within a set amount of time), plus receive hands-on skill training, then the online hybrid option would be the better choice. Please note, traditional class times are limited. Check the Course Calendar for availability. 

All of the other classes are offered in one format and are outlined in the course descriptions. 

If this is your first experience with an online learning platform, you may be nervous about how it all works. Take a look at this tutorial to familiarize yourself with the process.

Discounts for Paying in Full // Payment Plans Available

Sometimes paying for your course is a hurdle that must be overcome, so we provide payment plan options for some courses to help you achieve your career goals. In general, they include an initial payment, with scheduled payment dates for the remaining balance. An email will be provided that outlines your specific dates and amounts due when you sign up for a payment plan. Please be aware that your entire balance must be paid prior to coming to the school to start your in-person hours.
