Description of Required Coursework:

Our CNA coursework is structured to build strong knowledge and hands-on confidence through daily reinforcement and practice. Students progress through all 17 state-required theory modules, covering essential topics such as patient rights, communication, body mechanics, infection control, vital signs, long-term care, and end-of-life care. Each day includes a short quiz to strengthen understanding and prepare students for the written certification exam.

In the skills lab, students learn and practice all state-tested nursing assistant skills, including hand hygiene, transferring and positioning residents, measuring vital signs, catheter care, perineal care, feeding, dressing, and other core procedures required for safe, compassionate care. These skills are taught through instructor demonstrations and repeated hands-on practice to ensure mastery.

By completing all 17 modules and skills — reinforced through daily quizzes and guided lab practice — students graduate fully prepared and confident to take the California CNA state exam and begin their careers as Certified Nurse Assistants.
