$500 (includes books and supplies)
The normal fee for this course is $1,500. However, thanks to generous funding from our Kāhala Nui foundation, the course fees have been greatly subsidized to provide an affordable opportunity for interested students to acquire the necessary skills and education to enter the healthcare profession. (If applying for state certification, the Prometric testing fee of $225 is additional)
Graduates of this program who come to work for Kāhala Nui as a CNA, Resident Care Assistant (RCA), Personal Assistant Liaison (PAL) or Recreational Aide at our Live Well at Iwilei Adult Day Care Center within 1 year after completion of the course have an opportunity to get FULL REIMBURSEMENT for the course fee of $500 plus the $225 Prometric testing fee* after working 1,080 hours for Kāhala Nui thus making the course and certification testing FREE
(*reimbursement of the Prometric testing fee applies only if working as a CNA)
