What we believe
God placed a desire in my heart to train nurse aid students to be productive, respectful, knowledgeable,compassionate and valuable CNAs. Our class sizes are small (max 12) so that each student can receive personalized training. On the first day of class, the student is given a textbook and workbook that is theirs to keep. We also include a highlighter, 2 pocket folder for handouts and a pocket size spiral notebook
We teach students about resident rights, culture change and person centered care. At First Step Healthcare Training we also believe that the resident is more than just a diagnosis, they are a person.

We have 3 different tuition packages to choose from. Our Bronze package is $499.00 this includes use of all necessary equipment needed to become a CNA, workbook, text book, background check, student ins for clinicals.
