Certified Nursing Assistants (CNAs) are healthcare professionals who provide hands-on healthcare to patients in medical settings. CNAs assist patients with bathing, dressing, feeding and any other basic activities of daily living (ADLs).
Our State of California approved CNA course prepares the student to become a Certified Nursing Assistant in California. Our training approach combines a strong theory background with comprehensive hands-on instruction of clinical skills. CNAs work as health care workers in long term care or acute care settings.
Procareer Academy’s CNA Program is approved by the Bureau for Private Postsecondary Education and Department of Public Health in the State of California. Unapproved programs run the risk of getting shut down at any moment and are not eligible for any government funding.
