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. We teach you 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.
Tuition
We only require $100.00 to start our course. Full tuition is required to be paid by the end of the course. 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. Our next tuition package is our Silver package: $589.00 this includes everything in the Bronze package plus the state CNA test of $90.00 (student is responsible for the $25.00 fee for HHA).

First Step works directly with a testing provider to assist candidates with exam scheduling. With the Bronze package A $30 deposit must be paid to the test site to reserve a testing appointment. The balance of the fees are due to the test site on the day of testing. If you choose the Silver or Gold package, First Step will pay this fee for you.
