Do you have online options?
Yes. West Texas Training offers online and hybrid course options for the Nurse Aide Training program.
Due to state requirements, only 60 hours of the 100-hour Nurse Aide Training program may be completed online. The remaining 40 hours must be completed in person because clinical training is hands-on.
Students may complete the online portion first and then join an active day or evening course to complete their required in-person clinical hours.
-
West Texas Training allows students up to one year from their registration date to enroll in the 40-hour clinical portion of the course.
The 60-hour online portion must be completed before starting clinicals. Once the online portion is complete, students may join an available active course for their required 40 hours of in-person clinical training.
Students are encouraged to complete the online portion as soon as possible so they can move into clinicals while course information and skills are still fresh.
