NA Certification
Upon successful completion of our all-inclusive program, students will obtain NA, HHA, and CPR completion certificate/card which increases eligibility for immediate hire. This is a value of $1090.00 compared to other programs in the Twin Cities.

Can I get reimbursed for my fees?
Nursing assistants who pay for the cost of their training and testing prior to employment are eligible for reimbursement. The nursing assistant has 1 year from completion of the test to turn in receipts requesting reimbursement. The facility has 90 days to reimburse the nursing assistant. If the nursing assistant does not remain employed as a nursing assistant for 90 days, the nursing home is under no obligation to reimburse the nursing assistant. The first nursing home the nursing assistant stays at for least 90 days would then be responsible to reimburse the nursing assistant if it has been 1 year or less since completion of the test. Only certified nursing homes or boarding care homes are required to reimburse a nursing assistant.

What do I do if a third party is paying for me?
If there is a 3rd party/Company paying for your course please have them contact us at (952)224-7055 or email the authorization & contact information to kankeh@myhsconsultants.com
