We do occasionally offer a night course that is given from Monday through Thursday, 5 PM to 8 PM; however, the day course is offered more frequently than the night course.
After completing the two-week course, you will be given a test. When you pass, you will go on to fill out an application to be mailed to the Board of Nursing. After a criminal history background check and subsequent approval, we will start providing you with casework.
Below, please find and review the dates and times of our HHA training course for the year. You will need to come into the office to fill out an application. Please also call the agency to find out the rates for each class. Thank you and we hope to see you soon!
