Students are required to complete the following prior to final admission into the program:

·      Active Georgia CNA License

Students are required to complete the 40 hours of classroom (ONLINE), 8 skills lab hours (IN PERSON), and State Final Exam to obtain their CMA Course Certificate. In the event that a student may not attend skills lab, they must contact the course instructor within 48 hours of the skills lab date to re-schedule a date that the instructor can perform a separate skills lab to catch you up with the rest of the class. If a student is tardy (10+ minutes late) to a skills lab date, they will be required to stay later that date to complete the required hours for the day. This will consist of the instructor going over the materials the students missed while late. If they are unable, they need to find a date with the instructor to make-up the time. Once a student has three tardies, this counts as a full absence. A student is allowed a maximum of three absences throughout the entire course. Students will be able to make up the three absences, once speaking to the instructor and finding a date suitable for the both of them. If a student goes over their allotted three absences, they will be suspended from the course, and will have the option to re-enroll in the next cohort, without refund.
