PCT, CNA, HHA……….Still going on!!!!
As we return to the regularly scheduled programming of our lives, post-hurricane Irma, we’re all grateful and blessed that our jobs are still secure and able. When potentially catastrophic events occur, it’s like our society lives in a state of uncertainty. In a world that should be black & white, everything seems gray. This inflicts job-related stress of the unknown. Luckily, when it comes to the medical field, there is little that is unknown.
If you’re like us and find comfort in some form of job security, you’ve come to the right place. Living in South Florida there are an endless amount of elderly people that require care, especially in times of a crisis. They require skilled and trained caregivers which is an extremely valuable asset to possess. When Hurricane Irma made landfall, it affected several nursing homes, and during a time where resources were low, CNA’s (Certified Nursing Assistants) were able to maintain a professional level of care throughout the storm. This is the reason CNA’s are extremely sought after alongside Home Health Aides (HHA’s) and Patient Care Technicians (PCT’s).
As a human, it’s almost as if you are fulfilling a moral obligation that naturally releases oxytocin throughout your bloodstream resulting in surge of happy emotions. So now we ask, are you happy? Are you secure? Are you struggling to find a job? If any of these questions strike a chord within you, it’s time for you to come in to Center for Career Training and get the ball rolling.
Become a Certified Nursing Assistant from the luxury of your own home.
As anybody knows, becoming a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) can be a tedious process. If you add a 30-60 minute commute into the equation, school can be a complete and utter headache.
Luckily, you came to the right place. For those commuting from surrounding cities like West Palm Beach, Ft. Lauderdale or Miami, you may be able to cut back on your car mileage. Becoming a CNA is now feasible to accomplish as an online course.
All lectures and theory components of the course will be held online, while the skill competency component will be held in the physical classroom. Not a bad deal huh?
This scenario is ideal for people who have full time jobs, external commitments, children, etc. We’re excited to embark on this innovative journey with you, and we hope to see your face in the e-classroom!
Home Health Aides can become certified at home……… get it?
Who doesn’t love a corny pun? All jokes aside, Home Health AIdes (HHA), are now afforded the opportunity to take their courses online. That’s right, all lectures and theory components are held online. This is ideal for students that have full time jobs, families, and other external commitments that prevent them from enrolling in classes.
Essentially, this means you can indulge in your favorite reality show that diminishes brains cells by the second, all while taking notes during your HHA lectures on commercial breaks. (We’re kidding….. kinda..)
Online courses can be a life saver when it comes to finding time to be a dedicated student. Luckily, we’re here for you and our team is dedicated to providing you with constant online support.
So what do you say? Are you in to become a Home Health Aide that got certified from home? Come on, it’s a great joke.
When the economy is down, you may be up. – CNA
It’s no secret that finding a job in today’s day and age can be a major struggle, but it doesn’t have to be. Living in South Florida provides you with an endless amount of advantages. Since it’s summer 365 days a year, snowbirds tend to migrate south for the winter.
There is typically a spike in demand for home care aide in the winter season for this exact reason.
Becoming a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) is a great way to solidify your chances of being hired, all while allowing yourself to establish a solid medical foundation and simultaneously helping those in need.
Looking to work in a nursing home or rehab facility? You’re in luck, because those are growing as well.
As you can see, becoming a CNA can give you an abundance of opportunities tailored to your path in the medical field. Hope to see you soon!
New to the U.S? No need to fear…….PCT is Here!!!!
As a medical professional making a major move by moving to another country, life can be intimidating, but it doesn’t have to be. Whether it’s a language barrier, culture shock, or just being plain old homesick, life can be rough when moving to a new country.
Aside from the lifestyle changes, finding a profession that can suit you on your new endeavors can be tedious and draining. Luckily, you have us to help you navigate through your new life.

Taking the route to becoming a PCT and working in a hospital environment can strengthen your experience as a medical student. Establishing a solid foundation in EKG, CNA and Phlebotomy can help you successfully establish a foundation in the United States.
Looking to get into a quick summer class? Try CNA?
Summer time is the season for pool parties, annoying kids, and late nights. Why on earth would anybody want to go back to school during the summer months? I can tell you who, smart people.
Summer time in South Florida is the perfect time to become a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) and the reason is quite logical. Completing the CNA course can have you certified and working before the end of summer. This is crucial because as Floridians, we know when the holiday season hits, snowbirds tend to migrate south. This opens up an endless amount of job opportunities that can range from working in a nursing home, to rehab facilities, or even private homes.
This is arguably one of the easiest ways to kick start your medical career considering you don’t necessarily need a high school diploma or GED. Basically, what are you waiting for?!
No high school diploma? No problem
Let’s be real, high school was a complete nightmare for 90% if the country, and the other 10% is still talking about their high school football championship they won back in 1989. I can confidently say that if it wasn’t for the scary thought of my parents beating and forcing me to stick it out until graduation, I may have been a high school dropout. To be honest, I envied their freedom. Nowadays, we see clearly see the benefits of having a high school diploma or GED, but not having these things doesn’t mean you’re doomed for a life of waiting tables.
Center for Career Training can actually get you working in the medical field in a matter of weeks, without a high school diploma. I know, sounds too good to be true right? Wrong.
Becoming certified as a Home Health Aide (HHA) or as a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA). Your job opportunities can range from caring for elder patients in the privacy of their homes, becoming a caregiver in a nursing home, or even taking care of patients in a rehab center. That’s right, you don’t necessarily need a high school diploma or GED to be bringing home the bacon.
Another challenge that we see often is the language barrier. If English is not your first language, don’t worry, you’re not alone. We have helped a plethora of students that acquired English as a second language upon completing our course. Now with the big issues tacked, I ask you one question… What are you waiting for?
Looking to get into the medical field but don’t have High School diploma? Maybe train to become a HHA or CNA?
We all have that terrible ex-boyfriend/girlfriend that we try to forget about, and rightfully so. The past is the past, and that’s applicable to every aspect of our lives. (Thank god) It’s never too late to get started in your career, no matter how bad you may have messed up in the past.
At Center for Career Training (CCT), it has never been easier to become certified as a Home Health Aide (HHA) or a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA).

Looking to work in a hospital but have no medical experience? Maybe Try Working as a PCT?

How to Fulfill CNA and Patient Care Training Requirements for Physician Assistant(PA) Program
The Bachelor’s degree major of Physician Assistant(PA) has grown tremendously in recent years. The significant increase in popularity is driven by several factors. Due to rising costs and the long duration of attending medical school, many potential doctors have chosen to peruse the PA route.
Physician Assistants are now commanding generous salary’s which are comparable to some doctors. In addition, the two years of PA school replaces the traditional 4-year medical school path. Hence, this will result in lower overall costs in tuition fees ,allow a comfortable wage in their chosen career.
However, the increase in public awareness concerning this matter has drawn many potential college students to consider this as a choice of study. Thus, creating an extremely competitive environment for students to gain acceptance. Grade Point Average is considerably weighed in the admissions process. Yet, this is not the only factor that is taken into the final decision making process.
Developing into a CNA(Certified Nursing Assistant) and a Patient Care Accociate/Tech(PCA/PCT) is now strongly encouraged for future PA’s to matriculate int. Furthermore, obtaining actual work experience, preferably in a hospital setting, will enable a student to work the hours that is required by each specific PA Institution.
Moreover, these are the skills and experience that will be acquired and used throughout the duration of a medical career. The training ground to develop this foundation is paramount. Proper real world training will lead to to future success!
For those who want to join the medical field(PCT), but need a flexible schedule(Working in a Hospital).

Patient Care Technician to help people
There is one thing that every human being across the universe has in common. There comes a point in our lifetime where we become, dare I say it, old. Can anybody actually define the term old? According to the old(pun intended) reliable Google, the proper definition is “ having lived for a long time; no longer young ”.
Now that we’ve let Google’s atrocious excuse for a definition sink in, I’d like to share with you that you are only as old as you feel. I know “old” people in their seventies who make it a priority to go salsa dancing once a week, and others whom no longer afford the luxury of being able to walk. Like I said, old is a feeling, not an age. In an effort to keep our souls vibrant, and lively, we depend on the company that surrounds us.
In the medical field, Patient Care Technicians play a critical role. They aid patients in hospitals, nursing homes and even doctor’s offices. In fact, they spend the most time with the patients. When facing a critical illness, or health issue, no matter our age, we feel old and we feel helpless.
I’ve had the pleasure of observing the effects of a loving, caring, and gentle Patient Care Technician. My grandfather has a disease known as Cirrhosis of the liver. It can lead to liver failure and his spirits were down. His Patient Care Tech took care of him with love and kindness, which fed his soul, far beyond the ice chips she fed his mouth.
Beyond making a sound living, you are replenishing the soul of those who need you most. You can be leading a life of servitude without even realizing it.
Is Becoming a Certified Nursing Assistant Really Worth It?
Certified Nursing Assistant’s are like men, you may hate them at times, but you need them.
All jokes aside, I am a major advocate for those who don’t have a voice. I do not mean that statement literally. For example, imagine a picture of yourself at the tender age of one years old. You were entirely co-dependent. Your life relied on the care taking your parents and/or guardian provided. Hopefully, you were showered with love, respect and validation. If you were not, it’s not too late, hopefully you get a loving CNA when the time comes. (Is dying too morbid of a topic to crack jokes?)
Regardless, the responsibilities that come with being a CNA are nearly identical to those of a new born baby. Bob Marley said it best, “ Once a man, and twice a child.”
You are on this website for a reason. If you are unhappy with your life, your job, or whatever your current situation is, you may be a victim of narcissism. Essentially, this is a disorder of inflated self importance. Of course, I don’t know you personally, but I know your type. I was you.
When I use the term “Narcissist”, I use it very loosely. I am not saying you run around and shout to the world about how great you are, but you have found a way to convince yourself you are not enough, and you have no way to make it better. You have an enormous amount of self-pity, you play victim to the circumstances life has thrown at you or you have created. Well guess what? It’s time to do something about it.
To achieve happiness that goes far beyond your job title, you must change your lifestyle. You must lead a life of servitude. The literal meaning of servitude is the state of being a slave or completely subject to someone more powerful. In this current scenario, you need to lead a life of servitude, and the higher power is your happiness and security.
Now that we have gotten past this free therapy session, I’d like you to truly take five minutes to think about why you are here. How did you get here? How did you find this website? Why did you click on this blog post? What do you want to get out of this this experience?
The answer is clear. Your soul is yearning with the desire to help others. Subconsciously, you are itching to lead a life of servitude, but you do not know how.
It’s time to give a voice to not only the one year old infant that was once you, but to a community of elders that need you. Your calling may not be becoming a Certified Nursing Assistant, but if you are looking to get started in the medical field, I can confidently say Center For Career Training will provide you with the tools to begin living your life of servitude. Happiness is a quality that can’t be bought.

Hence, I took it upon myself to find out where and how I can become trained in the dynamic field. Furthermore, I did not possess the time and money for traditional schooling.
After much research online, I learned that Center for Career Training has many positive reviews in conjunction with preparing their students for openings in the hospital to work as a patient care technicians/associates. Upon my visit, The institution made me feel extremely comfortable and projected all of the possibilities.
For example, there are many potential Physician Assistant(PA) and Registered Nurse(RN) students that pursue the Patient care route. Apparently, the desired program requires a certain amount of actual patient contact hours. In addition, the experience gained can offer future participation within the organization.
Moreover, the process only took 7 weeks. Lecture, theory and Skills(Hands on) are all part of the curriculum. This all prepared us for Florida’s Nursing State Board Exam. After passing this exam successfully, you will issued a State License. Essentially, you become a Certified Nursing Assistant(CNA) while also learning how to draw blood(Phlebotomy), and grasping how to make sense out of the heart machine(EKG). The combination of the State License, Phlebotomy, and EKG will enable you to apply for openings as a Patient Care Technician/Patient Care Associate(PCT/PCA).
Seeing all of the many hospital that were hiring was exciting. I kept applying and interviewing until it was finally my moment to get hired. Being able to help people is my true excitement. Achieving this goal just took commitment and effort. Center for Career Training held my hand step by step throughout the process.
PCT’S work 3 days a week with 12 hour shifts. This allows me to have a great career and time for my family. The balance that is available to me gives me much joy and happiness. The 7 weeks of training was truly worth the work!

Many students choose CCT as their institution of choice so they can obtain both a Home Health Aide Certifications, work as a Patient Care, and to obtain a Nursing Assistant State Board License.

CCT instructs enrolled learners who are preparing for a career in Radiology, Sonography, Social Work, a Registered Nurse, or a Medical Doctor.

In addition, a high school diploma or GED is not required to participate in these classes and more importantly, work can be obtained in a nursing home and a private care setting.
Furthermore, many people do not have months or years to spend in school. A potential student can learn all of the required skills and earn specific certifications within 3 to 7 weeks. It normally depends on whether a student is attend class in the morning or the evening. However, there is a state board exam that must be passed in order to become a state certified nursing assistant. This is separate from the school training.
Hence, there are many different agencies which assist students in potentially locating jobs. Opportunity is there for many people to gain access to the medical field in a relatively short amount of time. This particular training can be accomplished efficiently at Center for Career Training. The real world knowledge and experience from the faculty and staff can ease concerns about the kind of opportunities that are available for Home Health Aides and Certified Nursing Assistants.
Work as a Patient Care in a Hospital
Work as a Patient Care in a Hospital
It is always amazing to see a student’s face when it is learned they can enter the medical field and possibly work in a hospital within weeks.
In addition to that, a student can become state certified in addition to learning how to draw blood(phlebotomy) and how to read a heart machine (EKG). It is all a rather straight forward process. Center for Career Training specializes in this particular type of training.
A student usually participates in the Nursing Assistant(CNA) training, on the school grounds, while preparing to take the State Board exam.
This is how a student can become a Certified Nursing Assistant. Also, Center for Career Training will allow a student to engage in Phlebotomy and EKG classes.
The combination of all three of these courses can make a student eligible to apply for jobs in a hospital. More specifically, a student can apply for Patient Care Associate(PCA)/Patient Care Technician(PCT) openings. Furthermore, the in class lecture/lab training for this can take only 7 weeks.
This depends on whether a student is attending morning or evening classes. Hence, combining all 3 programs will make going to school shorter and less expensive.
It does not matter if a student is new to the medical field, or if he/she has years of experience.
Working in a hospital is a potential opportunity that could happen if all requirements are met.
Center for Career Training has many student who are either currently enrolled in a Nursing(RN) program, or they plan to eventually attend Nursing school. These students are fond of this combination because it can possibly give experience in a hospital, and the future/current
Nursing Institution can give credit for already being certified. Overall, It is a fun way to learn, and Center for Career Training remains true to its motto of “Fast Medical Training”.
