Workforce Board approval is complete. The training program is in final review with the Washington State Board of Nursing, so we are not enrolling students, collecting tuition, or promising a start date yet.

Curriculum
The knowledge behind capable care.
The final course plan is subject to state approval. These six learning areas show how we are organizing the common curriculum for prospective students.
Every topic returns to one standard: safe care that protects each person’s rights, independence, and dignity.
Professional foundations01
The nursing assistant role
Scope of practice, communication, documentation, ethics, privacy, and the care-team relationship.
Safe care02
Safety & infection prevention
Standard precautions, hand hygiene, body mechanics, transfers, fall prevention, and emergency response.
Essential skills03
Personal care & daily living
Bathing, grooming, dressing, nutrition, toileting, mobility, and preserving independence.
Clinical awareness04
Observation & vital signs
Measuring, recording, and reporting changes in temperature, pulse, respirations, blood pressure, and condition.
Whole-person care05
Restorative & person-centered care
Range of motion, mental health, dementia support, end-of-life care, rights, culture, and dignity.
Practice integration06
Supervised clinical practice
Applying professional knowledge, skills, and behaviors with real-time guidance from an approved instructor.
Getting ready
Plan ahead without applying early.
You can learn what to expect now. We will publish the exact requirements in one clear packet when approval is complete and enrollment can legally open.
A confirmed enrollment packet
After final approval, we will publish the complete admissions checklist, tuition, policies, and first-cohort dates together.
Clinical-site clearance
Background and health-screening documentation may be required before clinical participation. Exact requirements will be in the enrollment packet.
Time for hands-on attendance
Skills lab and clinical learning depend on being present. The final day and evening calendar will make that commitment clear.
What joining the waitlist does—and does not do
It saves your contact information so we can send confirmed tuition, schedules, requirements, and start dates after approval. It does not reserve a seat, create an application, collect a deposit, or enroll you.
Certification path
Training is the beginning—not the credential.
Program completion does not automatically make someone certified. Graduates must also meet Washington’s testing, application, and credentialing requirements in effect at that time.
- 01
Complete approved training
Begin only after the program receives final approval and enrollment officially opens.
- 02
Meet competency requirements
Successfully complete the training program and Washington's required competency evaluation process.
- 03
Apply for certification
Follow the state's application process to receive the Nursing Assistant-Certified credential.
The NA-C credential can support work across long-term care, assisted living, hospitals, and home-care settings—and can be a practical first step toward LPN, RN, and other healthcare pathways.
Be first to know
Get the confirmed program details when they’re ready.
We’ll send tuition, schedules, admissions requirements, and the first start date after final approval allows enrollment to open.
Current decision estimate: August 2026. Timing may change as the state review proceeds.
