This 165-hour course meets the newly mandated requirements for certification and provides a basic level of both knowledge and skills necessary for the certification examination required by the State of Delaware. The course will be divided equally between clinical skills training and classroom instruction. Sessions will be offered for three hours on Tuesday and Thursday evenings. Clinical training will take place on several Saturdays so that the minimum number of classroom and clinical hours can be achieved.

Some of the approved topics include: The Nurse Assistant in Long Term Care, Work Ethics, Legal Aspects of Resident Care, Preventing Infections, Body Mechanics, Hygiene, Nutrition and Fluids, Understanding the Resident, Safety, Exercise and Activity, Oxygen Needs, Assisted Living, Confusion and Dementia, Rehabilitation and Restorative Care, Basic Emergency Care.

A background check, drug screening, and a tuberculin test are required prior to beginning the clinical trianing. The CNA instructor will give students information on these three screening procedures immediately before the start of the clinical training portion of the class. The cost of these procedures are not included in the cost of the course. In addition, a uniform is required and is also not included in the cost.
