Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) Online Program

The Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) Online Training Program offers class lectures both in person and online, providing students with nursing theory, laboratory practice, and clinical experience necessary to work as a CNA in various healthcare settings. Clinicals for both in-person and online students are conducted in person at one of our clinical sites in Redlands, Grand Terrace, or Upland.

CNAs are health care professionals who work in a variety of health care settings under the direction of a licensed nurse. Job responsibilities include assisting with personal hygiene and grooming, mobility, nutritional and elimination needs, comfort activities, evaluation and care planning, safety and environmental cleanliness, and miscellaneous tasks.

Basic nursing theory and skills are taught in the classroom and laboratory setting, and students are supervised in giving care to patients/residents in the long-term care facility, skilled nursing facility, or intermediate care facility. The focus of this course is on the care of the elderly resident. The course content follows the California State-approved Nursing Assistant Training Program (NATP) curriculum.
