Tuition is due at the time of enrollment. Many students are self pay or their tuition is supported by their employer.
Health Tech Associates maintains a 100% attendance requirement for all programs. Students must complete all required online coursework, attend every scheduled lab, clinical, and skills session, and meet all program deadlines. Because healthcare education requires demonstration of competency, missed required training may delay or prevent successful course completion.
Our commitment to students extends beyond the classroom. From enrollment through course completion, our team is available to answer questions, provide technical support, assist with scheduling, and help students navigate program requirements. We are dedicated to providing the support students need to successfully complete their training.
Health Tech Associates is approved by DIAL for CNA and CNA State Testing.
