Weekend Classes are Saturday and Sunday only for one weekend.

 

NOTE: Our weekend CNA Exam Preparation classes are only offered twice per month. Please register early! There are only 6 seats available per class. 

 

 

** THIS IS AN ACCELERATED COURSE. THIS CLASS IS NOT DESIGNED FOR ALL LEARNERS. **

 

Our accelerated class is best for students with personal care experience (ex: family members); those who have worked in other roles within the healthcare field (HHA or MA); nursing/medical students; and/or those who have family members who currently work in healthcare settings who can serve as a mentor. Students who enroll in our class must be committed to learning at least 10 skills per day and agree to complete a homework assignment during the 2-day class.

 

We are serious about educating future Certified Nursing Assistants (CNAs). We can teach skills but we cannot teach character or emotional maturity. Working as a CNA requires a level of compassion, integrity and emotional intelligence.  Therefore, we hold our students to a higher standard. We will have fun, but we must also be respectful of the time constraints needed to complete an accelerated class in 2 days. Also, we teach skills with an emphasis on compassionate care. As such, students who are unable or unwilling to act in accordance with our guidelines may be dismissed without a refund.

 

Learners who need more time should register for our  3 or 5-day CNA Exam Prep Courses.  We will not slow our classes and/or focus too much time on "1" student. Doing so is unfair to our Fast Track CNA students, who do not want to see simple skills repeated multiple times. Thank you for understanding and agreeing to our policies before registering for our accelerated Weekend CNA Exam Prep Class.

 

Mandatory Requirements:

  1. You must be 18 years of age
  2. You must speak English (we do not allow translators in our classes). PLEASE do not register non-English speaking family members until they have completed the FREE English as a second language course. Call us for details.
  3. Be able to follow directions and work with a team of CNA students.
  4. If you are physically unable to perform skills or are under a doctor's care, do not register for class until you have received medical clearance from your physician.

The "hands-only" CPR class is a knowledge only class which does not result in a certification. However, participants will learn how to recognize a medical emergency, activate 9-1-1-, learn how to work as a team, use an AED, and perform chest compressions. The demonstrations are completed at our office, upon request.

If you are the director of a summer camp or school and would like to schedule a 1-hour class at your camp or school, please email or visit www.FLtraining.com.

Thank you for your interest in aligning with Florida Training Academy, an authorized American Heart Association training site. We look forward to mentoring you and helping you to grow as an instructor. Your annual instructor fees help to cover the associated administrative costs.

 

After completing the Heartsaver & BLS Instructor Course, you will not be able to purchase certification cards if you are not aligned with an AHA Training Center (TC) or AHA Training Site (TS).

                                                     

Instructor Candidate Prerequisites

Be identified as demonstrating instructor potential by showing:

  1. A strong desire to teach
  2. Excellent CPR Performance and Problem Solving Skills
  3. Able to follow directions and follow through with tasks

The monitoring process is usually facilitated by your Training Center (TC) or Florida Training Academy (FTA). The TC or FTA will not issue an Instructor card until a satisfactory monitoring session has been completed. A second or third monitoring session might be required. However, this is not a punitive measure, but as part of our mentoring process to ensure all instructors are proficient and feel completely comfortable to teach ALL BLS courses offered by the AHA.
