​The CNA Program is designed to provide students with the skills necessary to meet the physical, physiological, and psychological needs of a patient. The objectives of the CNA course are to provide a learning experience required to obtain employment in the healthcare industry.

Each Certified Nurse Aide course is comprised of 90 hours: 50 instructional (classroom) hours and 40 clinical laboratory hours. Each school day varies in length depending on the current school schedule.

Preliminary, midterm, and final examinations are administered to determine the students learning level. A test score below 75% is an indication that the necessary skills are not being successfully acquired. Students in this percent range will be advised to arrange for additional practice, independent study, or tutoring (from the institute or outside resources).

The course is approved by the State of  New Jersey Board of Nursing, the New Jersey Department of Health and Senior Services, the NJ Department of Education and the NJ Department of Labor and Workforce Development.
