Home Health Aide (HHA) Training Course
We offer a 76-hour Home Health Aide (HHA) Training Course approved by the NJ Board of Nursing.
We hold training sessions at the beginning of every month and help students with the certification process. If you are interested in becoming a Certified Home Health Aide, Gentle Care Home Services has Registered Nurses on staff to train and supervise all new Home Health Aides. It takes only two weeks to become a Certified Home Health Aide (CHHA) and enter a rewarding career in a medical field.

Our course begins every first Monday of the month and runs for two weeks, Monday through Friday. The course starts at 9 AM and ends around 5 PM. We do occasionally offer a night course that is given from Monday through Thursday, 5 PM to 8 PM; however, the day course is offered more frequently than the night course.
After completing the two-week course, you will be given a test. When you pass, you will go on to fill out an application to be mailed to the Board of Nursing. After a criminal history background check and subsequent approval from the NJ Board of Nursing, we will start providing you with the casework.
Below, please find and review the dates and times of our HHA training course for the year. You will need to come into the office to fill out an application. Please also call the agency at 732-777-0021 to find out the rates for each class. Thank you and we hope to see you soon!
