The Nurse Aide Technical Certificate of Credit is a state-approved program which offers training to candidates that desire to become eligible for certification as a certified nurse aide (CNA). The program prepares students with classroom training and practice as well as the clinical experiences necessary to work in all health care facilities (e.g. nursing homes, hospitals, hospice, home health, etc.). The standard curriculum for the Nurse Aide Certificate program is designed for the semester system. The program can usually be completed in one (1) semester during the daytime, but generally takes two (2) semesters (terms) to complete at night. To graduate, students must earn 13 credit hours.
