Health Care Technology Institute
The Health Care Technology Institute integrates a series of skills training courses into a single course for health care occupations. The program prepares students to be multi-skilled health care workers and prepares them to sit for four health care industry-specific credentials. Students who successfully complete all components of the course will receive a Career Readiness Certificate, CPR certification, a Nurse Aide I Course Completion Certificate, and a Phlebotomy Course Completion Certificate. Completers are eligible to apply to sit for the State Competency Exam to become listed on the North Carolina Division of Health Service Regulation Nurse Aide I Registry as a Certified Nurse Aide I and to apply to sit for the American Society of Phlebotomy Technicians (ASPT), a national certification. Upon completion, students are qualified to work for health care providers in jobs requiring stackable credentials.
