Your in-person skills practice, the insulin module and the final exam day take place at a Commonwealth Senior Living partner community in the Radford area. You pick Radford as your location when you enroll, and we confirm the site, the dates and what to bring before your first in-person day. In-person days run during daytime hours for both cohorts.
Tuition

Rural communities feel med aide vacancies hardest because there is no agency down the road to fill the gap. Reserve seats for your CNAs in an upcoming cohort or run a private cohort for your community. Communities that host clinical hours get first access to our graduates.

The 20 skills hours, the 8-hour insulin module and the exam day are in person, in a handful of daytime blocks over the 6 weeks. We give you the exact dates when you enroll so you can plan the drives.
Radford is our Southwest Virginia location. You only travel for the in-person days, and we give you the dates when you enroll.
Classes run live on Zoom. A phone hotspot works for most students in a pinch, and sessions are set up so a dropped connection does not cost you the day. Tell us when you enroll if connectivity is a concern.
In-person classes are capped at 10 students each, so apply early.
