Special Thanks

We would like to thank Archstone Center in Mesa, Arizona for allowing our students the opportunity to complete 55 hours of clinical experience.



Through a Tech Prep articulation agreement with Central Arizona College, students in the nursing assistant class are eligible to earn free college credit. The college defines entrance requirements which students must meet before the college will grant credit. Students are responsible for meeting those requirements and completing a separate college admission process.
