Healthcare careers start here

Visalia sits in the heart of the Central Valley — an area with growing healthcare demand and limited flexible CNA training options. CNA Pathways is being built to close that gap.

Where classes will be held

Our training site is being established here in Visalia, so local students have direct access to clinicals at our home location.

All clinical training is conducted in Visalia, California. The in-person class is also held in Visalia, California.

What we're building for Tulare County students

  • 5-week program, Monday–Friday — same schedule for online and in-person classes
  • Online class — theory delivered via live remote instruction; clinicals in person at our Visalia site
  • In-person class — theory and clinicals both held in Visalia
  • Small cohorts — personal attention, real practice time
  • Transparent $1,400 tuition with payment plans
  • Free clinical starter kit for the first 30 students (gait belt, BP cuff, stopwatch)
  • Career-ladder support from CNA to LVN to RN

Why CNA is a smart first step in Visalia

The Central Valley has one of the steepest healthcare worker shortages in California. Employers in Visalia and across Tulare County are actively hiring CNAs — in nursing homes, hospitals, home health, hospice, and assisted living. Starting pay across the region typically runs $18–$22/hour, with shift differentials and overtime common. See CNA salary in California for current data.
