About

Health Tech Associates was founded in 2020 with a simple mission: to provide high-quality, practical healthcare education that prepares students and professionals, including healthcare providers and nurse educators, for success in today's healthcare environment. 

Based in West Des Moines, Iowa, we have trained thousands of healthcare professionals through flexible, innovative learning programs designed to fit busy schedules without sacrificing quality. What began as a CNA training provider has grown into a comprehensive healthcare education company offering career training, certification courses, continuing education, workforce development, and healthcare consulting.

Our team brings decades of real-world healthcare experience to every course we teach. We believe students learn best when education is engaging, relevant, and taught by professionals who have worked in the field. Every course is designed with practical application in mind, helping learners build confidence and develop the skills employers expect.

Today, Health Tech Associates offers a growing catalog of healthcare programs, including:

- Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA)

- Advanced CNA

- Medication Manager

- Certified Medication Aide (CMA)

- Pharmacy Technician

- Phlebotomy

- LPN Expanded IV Therapy

- CPR & Basic Life Support (BLS)

- Continuing Education

- Healthcare workforce training

- Employer partnerships and customized education

We are proud to be recognized as Iowa's first private business approved by the Iowa Department of Inspections, Appeals, and Licensing (DIAL) to administer Certified Nursing Assistant skills testing. This milestone reflects our commitment to raising the standard of healthcare education across the state.

Our commitment extends beyond the classroom. We partner with long-term care facilities, assisted living communities, hospitals, home care agencies, host home providers, and healthcare organizations to strengthen the workforce through education, compliance training, and professional development.

Whether you're beginning your healthcare career, advancing your skills, or looking for training solutions for your organization, Health Tech Associates is committed to helping you achieve your goals through education that is accessible, practical, and built around real-world success.
