NA-1 Faculty-led Program Classes

The NA-1 Faculty-Led Program offers students the option of attending the didactic classroom portion of the program either in an on-campus classroom setting, or in a virtual Zoom class setting.
OSBN approved NA-1 programs are comprised of at least 105 hours of instruction, divided into a minimum of 37 hours of classroom and 28 hours of lab instruction, and at least 40 hours of instruction in a clinical setting.
Caregiver Training Institute offers a variety of schedules for students to choose from that meet or exceed OSBN mandated hours of instruction.
Classes are offered on accelerated day, day, evening, and weekend schedules year-round and range in length between 4-to-7 weeks.
- Accelerated Day Classes allow students to complete the program quicker.
- Evening Classes give students more time to read and absorb the required chapters, review, and prepare for exams.
- Weekend Classes are designed for students who have commitments during weekdays and evenings that preclude them taking other schedules.
In-person skills labs of up to 10 students per instructor on campus emphasize the importance of learning by doing.
Supervised clinical rotations of up to 10 students at a healthcare facility provide students with practical work experience.
Students who elect to attend a NA-1 Faculty-led virtual Zoom class, must have a reliable computer or tablet with a microphone and camera, an internet connection, and an email address.

The affordable cost of training, low barriers to entry, and short-term classes are the main reasons many people choose to pursue entry-level CNA training as a starting point to a lifelong career in nursing.
