STARTING TIME FOR ALL MY CLASSES IS NOW 9AM FOR THE WINTER FOG SEASON.

2-28-23 cdph is ending the use of Pandemic waviers for your renewal of CNA.

As of Mar 2019, Department of Public Health suggests marking your mailing envelopes in the lower left hand corner with: "ATT: ATCS". This creats a faster and safer route to the correct department.

As of Feb 2019 Department of Health has published a new renewal form(283C) and a new Inservice/CEU record form (283A) to clarify the hours needed in each year. No signatures are required on 283a for CEU providers or nursing schools.

The ever pressing desire to give our wonderful students everything they ask us for is always at the forthought of our minds.

We now have a PayPal button on our home page for anyone with a debit or credit card to pay for classes.

Due to the demand of classes and wanting to make sure that everyone is considered and appreciated for their valuable time in renewing their certificates, we are doing everything in our ability to insure that the limited seating we have are filled with actual students.

A returning student will be charged $1.00 per hour for each no call/no show for the remainder of your current renewal period. The cancelation must be done via text to 210-995-1928 or emailed to cnaclassroom@yahoo.com for the documentation of cancelation.

EXAMPLE: Mr. Santa Claus has been a student for many years and his LOCKED IN RATE is $3.00 per hour, he calls in to schedule for 1-7-17 but misses it without notifying us. He re-calls to reschedule for 1-11-17 and makes it, for the duration of his renewal period his rate will be $4.00 per hr.

Mr. Santa Claus completes the renewal and calls again on 1-7-19 for an appointment for his new renewal; his LOCKED IN RATE of $3.00 per hour is back.

Students that have attended from: 02/2014 - present

$5.00 per hour

Thank you for your continued attendance

Please do not come to our classroom

without a confirmed registration.

Our CNA classroom has expanded so much we are over-flowing our space and need to insure that there will be a seat for each of our students.

This expansion is due to the wonderful students who pass the word around about how awesome we are at providing you with continuing education to renew your CNA/HHA.

We now need to pre-register your class date to insure that there will be a seat for you.

You can register on our home page or you can call us in order to save your seats.

You must have written confirmation from us.

The Changes that the Dept. of Health is making on the renewal of CNA & HHA

NOW: as of 06/2015 If a CNA takes the HHA course they will get 26 hours of CEUs at completion of the HHA course.

THE DEPT OF HEALTH AS of 06/2015 ONLY ACCEPTING:

ANY NURSING PROGRAM COURSES.

ANY OTHER COLLEGE COURSES WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED.

Great news! The Department of Health is in transition of making all expirations dates match the birthday of the holder.

EXAMPLE: you got your CNA card 04/22/74

so your EXP date is 04-22-2015 to 04-22-2017

But your birthday is 12-05-1949

so now your EXP date is 12-05-2017 to 12-05-2019

11/04/2012 - 11/03/2013

at least 12 hours

If you do not have at least 12 hours of CEUs in this first year, CDPH will reject your renewal application. You need 12-36hrs done by now.

11/04/2013 - 11/03/2014

at least 12 hours

If you do not have at least 12 hours of CEUs in the second year, CDPH will reject your renewal even if you got more than 48 hours in the first year.

*** you need a total of 48 hrs by 11/03/2014 ***

NOW:

IF YOUR CNA/HHA CERTIFICATE HAS EXPIRED AND YOU HAVE NOT COMPLETED THE REQUIRMENTS: YOU MUST TAKE THE STATEBOARDS AGAIN. 2 years after the expiration date, if you did not take the Boards, you will have to repeat a school program.
