Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) Program
Program Length: 22 days
What You'll Learn:
Direct patient care skills: bathing, feeding, mobility assistance, and vital signs
Infection control and safety protocols
Communication with patients, families, and healthcare teams
Anatomy, medical terminology, and documentation basics
Clinical skills practicum with hands-on patient care experience
What You Earn: Upon completion, you'll be eligible to sit for the California CNA certification exam. Pass it and you're a state-certified Nursing Assistant, qualified to work in hospitals, skilled nursing facilities, home health agencies, and more.
Tuition & Cost: Total tuition is $2,000. That’s it. No hidden fees. No surprise costs.
A $500 deposit is due at enrollment to hold your seat. The remaining $1,500 is due by Day 22.
One student per cohort is selected for the Dreamchaser Scholarship, which covers the full $2,000 tuition. Ask us about the application.
We are pursuing approval to accept WIOA funding through the San Diego Workforce Partnership. Once approved, eligible students may have their full tuition covered through a WIOA Individual Training Account. Visit workforce.org or your nearest America’s Job Center to learn more.
If you need a different payment arrangement, contact us. Extended plans are handled case by case and require written approval from the CEO. Your certificate of completion is issued when your balance is paid in full.
Cohort Size:Limited to 15 students per session. That’s intentional — it means more one-on-one time with your instructors, more clinical practice, and a better learning experience. When seats are gone, they’re gone until the next cohort.
Who Should Apply:This program is built for career changers, veterans, workforce-displaced adults, and anyone ready to enter healthcare on an accelerated timeline. No prior medical experience required — just a high school diploma or GED and a commitment to showing up ready to learn.
