Become a Home Health Aide in 6 Weeks
Our accelerated timeline takes you from classroom to caring for real patients fast. You will master personal care, vital signs, elderly care, and home safety in structured, hands-on lab sessions, all inside one hybrid program built on real hands-on practice. Deciding between paths? See how a home health aide compares to a CNA.
How the Hybrid Program Works
Our Home Health Aide program is hybrid: the flexibility of learning online plus the hands-on training of in-person labs. You work through the coursework online and train hands-on at our Orlando campus, with lab sessions where you practice real home-care skills through real-life simulations. Schedules stay flexible; choose the 6-week weekday track or the 13-week Saturday track.
Live Online (Zoom)
Join certified instructors in real time from home for lectures and guided learning, typically a couple of days each week, always at your same class schedule time.
Hands-On In Person
Practice the hands-on skills employers look for - safe transfers, personal care, vital signs, and infection control at home - in person on campus in Orlando, before you ever step into a patient's home.
Self-Paced Online
Work through online coursework on your own schedule, generally about one day a week, so the program flexes around your life.
Schedules stay flexible and may change. The day-split above is typical, not guaranteed.
What You'll Learn as a Home Health Aide
You'll gain the exact skills employers look for: compassionate personal care, accurate vital signs, safe body mechanics, and clear documentation. Built around real-world scenarios, the curriculum mirrors the complete home health aide job description: what aides do every day in patients' homes across Orlando.
Compassionate Care
Support patients with personal care and daily living activities while protecting their dignity and independence.
Essential Clinical Tasks
Take vital signs, apply safe body mechanics and transfers, and follow infection-control protocols in the home.
Thorough Documentation
Observe changes in condition, document care accurately, and communicate clearly with families and supervising nurses.
Class Schedules
Choose the schedule that fits your life. Your hybrid week runs live within these time blocks - both the online Zoom sessions and the in-person hands-on training happen during your chosen schedule, so you attend live, on campus or on Zoom. Availability varies by track.
