CHHA Program Overview
Loretto’s CHHA Training is a 12-day program held at our PACE CNY campus and includes both classroom learning and hands-on clinical training. The program runs 12 times per year - but you can start earning even before you enter the course, through our pre-trainee program. As a pre-trainee, you will be working hands-on in a support role at the Loretto community/program at which you were hired to work after you become a CHHA.
After successfully completing the course, you will be a Certified Home Health Aide and will be able to begin working in the community or within a housing site at Loretto.
