Our Certified Nursing Assistant Program is an accelerated curriculum. As a result, our students are prepared to pass the Washington State Nursing Assistant exam and begin a career in the healthcare industry. Your first step to become a Medical Professional begins with CNA Certification. The classroom section of the course generally runs for two weeks with varying hours depending on day or evening schedule. Additionally, all CNA Certification classes are held at the Northwest NAC Training, located at 13504 NE 84 St. Suite 119, in Vancouver, Washington. The clinical section of the CNA Certification course generally runs for two weeks with varying hours depending on day or evening schedule. The location of the clinical section also varies. Students have the opportunity in this program to work under the direction of a Nurse in an area facility. This may include long-term, sub acute, assisted living or memory care, where students experience hands-on patient care. We are affiliated with six facilities for clinical instruction. Furthermore, each class rotates through at least 2 facilities so that our students are exposed to a variety of caregiving experiences. Because of this, our students are sought-after immediately after graduation and throughout their medical career.
