The School of Allied Health Careers is offering a day session for its CNA program with classes on Monday through Thursday from 9 a.m.-1 p.m. starting Nov. 8.

The school is also taking applications for its winter programs for CNA, Patient Care Technician, Certified Medical Assistant, and Phlebotomy, which start in January.


The CNA course offers students an affordable and condensed schedule.

After successfully completing the course and clinical experience, students will be qualified to take the certification exam for a Nursing Assistant in Connecticut.

Anyone 18 years of age or older with a high school diploma or GED may apply for admission. Early application is encouraged for all courses, as space is limited.
