Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) Program Overview
This CNA program prepares students to perform basic nursing skills for individuals in long-term care facilities, adult daycare centers, hospitals, or home settings.
Course Structure
75 hours of classroom instruction (in-person and online hybrid format)
100 hours of on-the-job training at a long-term care facility approved by the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services (DHSS)
We have an established partnership with a facility in Harrisonville, MO, where we can place students for clinical hours. Alternatively, students may seek placement at another approved location. Clinical hours are scheduled independently by the student and are not included in the 75 classroom hours.
