CERTIFIED NURSE AIDE (CNA)CFE 007

The Certified Nurse Aide program prepares students to take the written and practical skill exam to obtain the New York State Nurse Aide Certification. A Certified Nurse Aide performs delegated tasks involving personal care of residents of long-term care skilled nursing facilities. The majority of CNAs are employed at geriatric nursing facilities; however CNAs are also in demand for work with pediatric and developmentally disabled residents. The SCCC Allied Health CNA course has a minimum of 90 classroom hours and a minimum of 30 hours of rotations in clinical sites. Included in the training is an additional 40 hours of Personal Care Aide (PCA) training for those who might prefer to work in home settings. The CNA/PCA course lasts approximately eight weeks and, to ensure success, it provides more than the required number of classroom and lab hours. Classes are held at our Albany as well as our Schenectady sites.

It is advised to contact our office to obtain additional information and the necessary forms well in advance of the class. HOME HEALTH AIDE (HHA)CFE 014

It provides students with the foundation of working in a home setting and providing care ranging from personal care to the elderly, disabled and infants to taking vital signs. A Home Health Aide (HHA) has a scope of care services wider and more advanced than a PCA. Several times a year, we offer this standalone four-week, 75-hour training, in addition to eight hours clinical rotations in a home care or assisted living setting. Labor market analysis projects growing demand and high need in home care professionals in the near future. Classes are held at our Albany as well as our Schenectady sites.
