Patient Care Technician-PCT 105

 

Most programs require the Health Science Core (90 hours) as the first course, then proceed to Nursing Assistant (75 hours). However, Affordable Training has the Nursing Assistant Course (NA) already in place and it consists of 120 hours…most of the Health Science Core curriculum is already incorporated in the NA curriculum, and it is approved by the Board of Nursing and complies with the state of Florida requirements. Therefore, we only require the Health Science Core as a “BRIDGE” to the Patient Care Technician (PCT) plan of study.
