Bastien Academy is committed to the progress of the individual students and is
devoted to giving them the best CNA training possible. Our high standards and
quality training stand out among our peers, as do our graduation ceremonies.

We offer a basic 3- to 5-week training course with the opportunity for further
training. We cater to students' learning speeds and levels, so that they are
trained properly from the beginning, and ready to enter the workforce after all
of the requirements have been completed. Students often develop relationships
with other students, and many maintain those ties well after graduation.

Students at Bastien Academy are always satisfied with the instructors (RNs) and
the teaching methods used throughout the courses. In addition to the
curriculum, we also try to build students' self-confidence. We encourage
students to speak out during class discussions and to express themselves.
We also include nutrition and physical fitness into our courses: Nurses and
caregivers are supposed to be both mentally and physically fit to properly care
for their patients.

When students have completed training, they must pass state-required exams
in order to become a licensed CNA. We offer a review one week before the
exams are given to make sure students are prepared for the written exam,
and have mastered the skill.
