✨ BCA Spotlight: The CNA Program! ✨
Did you know the Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) program is one of BCA's most popular courses? With approximately 150 students across 3 sections, this program offers incredible hands-on experience and real-world learning opportunities!
🏥 How it works:
*Students spend 2 days a weekdoing clinicals at Westminster Village for hands-on training.
*The other 2 days are spent in-class learning essential skills.
At the end of this year-long program, students take the CNA exam to earn their certification—and many go on to work at Westminster Village! 🙌
💡After certification, there are still classes at the BCA for those who wish to pursue a career in healthcare:
The CNA Leadership class ✔️
Or explore other healthcare careers by taking the Medical Terminology or EMT programs at the BCA!⛑️
This program is paving the way for future healthcare heroes! 🩺
