About

This 139 hour program prepares the student to work in long term care facilities, hospitals, home care, and other extended care facilities. Our program meets the Certified Nurse Aide (CNA) training requirements outlined by the Colorado State Board of Nursing. Upon completion of the program students are eligible to take the state CNA written and skills examinations.
