Certification and Licensing Support
The Care Training Academy goes the extra mile by assisting students with completing and submitting their CHHA application and ensuring all necessary documents are uploaded, increasing the likelihood of licensing with the New Jersey Board of Nursing. It’s important to note that while The Care Training Academy provides comprehensive support, they do not guarantee licensing, as their primary focus is on delivering an accredited curriculum and facilitating the state exam under the supervision of a certified RN.
