This four-day per week certification course will provide students with the skills and knowledge necessary to enter the health field as a Home Health Aide.

These activities include learning how to bathe, dress, groom, transfer, and ambulate a client. The third area, Home Health Aide, builds on all prior learned skills, but adds the special skills of caring for a medically-ill client. Throughout each phase of the educational process, students will become an effective and competent part of a health care team. At completion, job placement services are available.
