What Our Students Are Saying

"I received my CNA & HHA training from Hillendale. My instructors, Rhonda and Leslie, both RNs for many years are in my opinion, the best of the best. Both of them were my CNA instructors & Rhonda was my HHA instructor. Their passion, compassion, expertise and experience are evident from the very first class. When I sat for my California exam and clinical, it was very plain to see the difference of our training versus others. We were truly prepared capable and very professional.

I spoke with various people about their experience at other training sites, I discovered that I had lucked out by getting some of the best class room and clinical training at the best price! The saying you get what you pay for, was totally untrue in this case. I am now a CNA and HHA and am looking forward to a career in helping provide care to seniors. I would recommend Hillendale if you are looking for training to become a CNA."
