The Pre-CNA (Certified Nursing Assistant) class is for individuals who are interested in long-term care careers but are looking for extra language learning and hands-on practice before starting a CNA program.

CNAs work in hospitals, nursing homes, and assisted living facilities, and it is the first step in pursuing a nursing degree. The Pre-CNA training is offered in partnership with Roseville Adult Learning Center, so students will learn healthcare terminology, gain relevant English language skills, and practice hands-on lab skills with experienced instructors.
