The registration fee for the class is $70.

To qualify for the waiver, individuals must certify that they meet one of the criteria before they register for the class.

These fees apply to all students.

The class will prepare students to take the Career Readiness Certification test and achieve at least a “silver” designation on the test and  achieve a score of ‘1” on the Workplace Observation Assessment – pre-requisites for enrolling in a Nurse Aide I class or the Basic Skills Plus Nurse Aide I class. Students who do not achieve these benchmarks will be offered additional courses to help them qualify for the next available Nurse Aide I class.
