Most of our students are working while they train. That is the normal case here, not the awkward exception, so we run the same programme on three different timetables and you pick the one that survives contact with your week.
The track you choose changes how long the programme takes, not what it contains. All three include the clinical rotation, which is scheduled with you individually because partner facilities run their own shift patterns.
MON TO THU · 9:00am to 2:00pm
The quickest route through. Home Health Aide finishes in three weeks, Certified Nurse Aide in five. Best if you work evenings, nights, or not at all right now.
Break: 30 minutes at 11:30. Coffee is free and the microwave works, which is more than we can say for most schools.
MON, TUE, THU · 6:00pm to 9:30pm
Three nights a week, so Wednesday and Friday stay yours. Home Health Aide takes six weeks this way, Certified Nurse Aide takes ten. Two thirds of our preliminary enrolments have chosen this one.
Note: children are welcome in the front room with a parent present. We would rather you brought them than missed the class.
SAT AND SUN · 8:30am to 4:00pm
Two full days a week. Home Health Aide in five weekends, Certified Nurse Aide in eight. Long days, but you never take an hour off work for us.
Lunch: an hour at noon, and there is a taqueria two doors down that most of a cohort ends up in.
Seat counts below are live against preliminary enrolments. Holding a seat costs nothing and does not commit you to anything until you pay a deposit.

Come and see the lab before you commit a penny. Tours run Tuesday and Saturday mornings from the first week of November, and you are welcome to bring whoever helps you make decisions.
Published so you can hold it against your own week before you enrol, rather than after.
| Evening | Focus | Where | Hours |
|---|---|---|---|
| Monday | Personal hygiene and grooming. Bed bath and oral care, demonstrated then practised in pairs. | Skills lab | 3.5 |
| Tuesday | Body function and vital signs. Temperature, pulse and respiration, recorded and reported correctly. | Classroom and lab | 3.5 |
| Thursday | Safe transfer and positioning. Gait belt, hoyer lift, and how not to injure yourself doing either. | Skills lab | 3.5 |
| Saturday | Optional open lab. Practise anything you want signed off, with an instructor on the floor. | Skills lab | 3.0 |
Open lab on Saturdays is free and does not count against your programme hours. Students who use it clear their skills passport faster, which is the only reason we mention it.
You may miss up to two sessions and make them up at open lab or with the next cohort at no charge. Miss more than that and we will talk honestly about whether this is the right term for you.
Tell us and we will move you between tracks mid programme where the hours line up. This happens roughly once a cohort and it has never cost a student money.
We do not run classes on Thanksgiving week, between 24 December and 2 January, or on Juneteenth. Clinical rotations may still be scheduled by the partner facility.
No deposit, no card, no commitment. You are just telling us which room to keep a chair in.
