Students will learn infection prevention, proper handwashing techniques, body mechanics, communication skills, safety procedures, resident rights, dementia care, and abuse prevention. The E-Learning format allows students to complete the theory component online through an approved e-learning platform, followed by supervised clinical training. Clinical hours are required and are held at approved facilities located in Salinas, Santa Cruz, Morgan Hill, San Jose, San Mateo.
Students who successfully complete the program will receive a Certificate of Completion, making them eligible to take the state certification exam.
