HCA Training Road Map
HCA LEARNING PLANS
The most straightforward way to achieve an HCA Training Certificate is through one of our DSHS approved, 100% online HCA Learning Plans. You are able to take all your HCA training online, including the virtual skills labs.
​
We have six different learning plans, and all of them are online HCA courses.
​
To determine which learning plan is the best fit for you, consider what required HCA training you have already accomplished and what training is still on your to-do list.
