About
Quincy College’s Community Health Worker training course in Quincy, Massachusetts, prepares people to support community members through outreach, health education, care coordination, system navigation, advocacy, and communication with healthcare and social service providers. The course aligns with the Massachusetts Department of Public Health’s recommended ten core competencies and prepares graduates for entry-level community health work; no specific credential or exam is identified. Delivery is hybrid, combining virtual and in-person meetings with external internship experience, and the page describes both 12-week and 15-week durations, so no single duration is published here. The course meets twice weekly and includes first aid and CPR training during an in-person session. Tuition is free for accepted students, and all enrolled students must attend an information session before the course begins.
