Northern Colorado Training Institute offers a blended “hybrid” CNA course, which prepares students to provide a variety of crucial services—from taking vital signs to monitoring patient treatment plans—and leverages the most effective elements of online learning and face-to-face teaching. The hybrid CNA course is our most popular program. Each week, students can expect 20-hours of online “theory” coursework along with two 8-hour hands-on skills sessions in our classroom. Additionally, two 8-hour (16-hours total) clinical rotations, at a NoCo Training Institute-approved health care location, is also required. Students who successfully complete all of the course requirements receive a Certificate of Completion and are able to register for the Colorado State CNA Exam for full CNA certification.
