Your Training Could Cost You Nothing
Government programs cover tuition for qualifying Central Valley residents.
Financial Aid and Tuition Assistance
Many Central Valley residents qualify for programs that cover the full $1,400 tuition. You may owe nothing out of pocket.
WIOA Funding
The Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act covers tuition for qualifying adults. Contact your local Workforce Development Board to check eligibility. This is the most common funding source for our students.
EDD Training Benefits
If you're receiving unemployment benefits, you may qualify for EDD-approved training that covers your tuition while you continue receiving benefits during the program.
CalWORKs
CalWORKs participants can use Welfare-to-Work services to fund CNA training as part of their employment plan. Your county social worker can help you set this up.
Other Programs
Additional assistance may be available through county-specific programs, tribal education funds, veteran benefits, or employer-sponsored training. We help you explore every option.
