Why Choose AVI Career Training for Your CNA Certification?
There are other CNA – Nurse Aide (NO FINANCIAL AID FOR THIS PROGRAM) programs in Northern Virginia. Here’s why AVI students make a different choice.
1. Accreditation That Actually Means Something
AVI Career Training is COE Accredited and SCHEV Certified — two credentials that matter when you’re picking a school.
COE (Council on Occupational Education) accreditation is the gold standard for career and technical training programs. SCHEV certification means AVI is officially recognized by the State Council of Higher Education for Virginia. Together, these credentials tell employers, licensing boards, and financial aid offices that your training is legitimate, rigorous, and real.
Many local CNA programs can’t say the same. Before you enroll anywhere, ask to see their accreditation. We’ll show you ours on day one.
2. Hands-On Training, Not Just Classroom Hours
Becoming a CNA – Nurse Aide (NO FINANCIAL AID FOR THIS PROGRAM) is a physical skill. You will be taking vital signs, repositioning patients, performing personal care procedures, and communicating with families under pressure. Those skills don’t come from watching videos.
At AVI, your training combines classroom instruction with practical, hands-on clinical skills labs — so when you walk into your first job, you’ve already done these things. Your hands know what to do. That confidence is the difference between a graduate who gets hired and a graduate who hesitates.
3. Built for Real Life in Northern Virginia
NOVA Community College is a fine school. But if you’ve ever tried to enroll in a healthcare program there, you know the reality: waitlists, semester schedules, and a process that moves on the institution’s timeline, not yours.
AVI is different. We’re a focused, hands-on career school — which means enrollment is personal, scheduling is designed with your life in mind, and you’re not competing for a seat against hundreds of other students. You call us, we talk, and we figure out how to make this work for you.
4. Tuition & Payment Options (No Federal Financial Aid)
Cost is the number one reason people delay starting healthcare training they already know they want. We get it — Northern Virginia is expensive, and spending money on training feels risky when you’re not sure what comes next.
Federal financial aid (FAFSA/Title IV) is NOT available for this program as it does not meet the minimum 600-hour requirement. AVI offers flexible payment plans and private financing options. We are proud to accept GI Bill® benefits for qualifying veterans and service members. If you’ve served this country, we want to make your transition into civilian healthcare as smooth as possible.
We’ll walk you through every available option during your enrollment consultation — no surprises, no fine print ambushes.
5. A School That Remembers Your Name
Large national vocational chains spend millions on advertising. Their websites look polished. But students often describe feeling like a number — one of thousands enrolled across dozens of states, with no one who actually knows their situation.
AVI is located at 1595 Spring Hill Rd #720, Vienna, VA 22182. We are here, in your community. Our instructors know their students by name. When you have a question about your clinical skills or you’re nervous about the state exam, you’re not submitting a help ticket — you’re talking to a real person who’s invested in your success.
CNA Program Curriculum — What You’ll Learn in 150 Hours
Virginia’s Board of Nursing requires CNA – Nurse Aide (NO FINANCIAL AID FOR THIS PROGRAM) candidates to complete a state-approved training program before sitting for the certification exam. AVI’s 150-hour curriculum is designed to meet and exceed those requirements — covering everything you need to pass the Virginia CNA examination and walk onto a unit ready to work.
Core Skill Areas
Patient Care Fundamentals
You’ll learn the foundational principles of safe, compassionate patient care — including how to assist patients safely with daily tasks, how to protect yourself and your patients from injury, and how to maintain a professional, ethical standard of care in every interaction.
Activities of Daily Living (ADLs)
CNAs spend the majority of their working hours helping patients with the activities that make daily life possible: bathing, dressing, grooming, oral hygiene, feeding, and mobility. You’ll practice these skills in a hands-on lab environment until they feel natural — because your patients will be counting on you to make them feel dignified and safe.
Vital Signs Measurement
Accurately measuring and recording blood pressure, pulse, respiratory rate, temperature, and oxygen saturation is one of the most clinically important responsibilities a CNA carries. Your observations are often the first signal that something has changed for a patient. We train you to take these measurements correctly, consistently, and to know when to report what you find.
