TRAINING
What are the minimum requirements to participate in the nurse aide training?
You will need to have a high school diploma or GED as well as the legal ability to work in Hawai’i.
What kind of certification will I receive?
TRAINING
Is the training free?
Yes, there is no cost (and no hidden costs!) to participate in the training. We cover the training, the textbooks, study materials and scrubs. While we offer snacks, we do not cover meals. We also don't cover parking.
What are the tuition fees?
TRAINING
Do you “pay” people to train?
We “pay”, or really we offer “income replacement”, to our trainees so that they can leave their jobs and join our full-time training. This income replacement is offered at the end of each two-week period based on pre-agreed goals: trainees come on time, every day, are engaged and ready to learn.
TRAINING
Am I guaranteed a hospital nurse aide job if I successfully complete the training?
You are not guaranteed a job if you successfully complete the training, but you will receive priority job consideration at Hawai’i Pacific Health (HPH) hospitals. As part of the training, you will prepare a professional cover letter and resume and develop your interviewing skills. You will also learn how to successfully complete the HPH job application process.

TRAINING
What makes our training different?
We believe that there are many people in our community who can benefit from training-to-job pathways, but the way in which the training is typically structured (i.e. over longer periods of time, without income replacement) means they cannot take advantage of them. Our training removes a range of typical barriers and is enhanced with the life skills teachings that creates a solid foundation for success.
