In both the online and traditional school, lessons are segmented into three areas –theory, labs, and clinicals. The State requirement is at least 75 hours of total hours, including 16 hours of clinicals. NTSOC has a superior reputation for producing CNAs. Both programs have slightly over 80 hours of instruction. Both forms of classes are constructed differently. The curriculum and instructors are the same for both programs.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, only the NTSOC Online School is currently available until further notice.

The online school completes theory, lab, and clinicals in order. Originally, NTSOC was going to build an online school with just theory and in-person labs and clinicals, but due to changing regulations around the COVID-19 pandemic, we are launching with online/virtual labs and clinicals. The online class includes:

• Theory: 24/7 access to 32 hours of online classes, including 25 videos, and 3 tests.
• Labs: 2 hours of 22 instructional videos, and 32 hours of demonstrations conducted via Zoom, followed by a lab demonstration test.
• Clinicals: 16 hours of supervised clinical experience conducted via Zoom, with scenarios enacted.
• Payment structure is $150 before registration, $400 after theory, $400 after lab.
• Course must be completed in three months.
• Diploma showing completion of course, voucher for State exam, and voucher for in-person CPR, and a graduation pin.
• In-site State testing in Colorado Springs and Pueblo facilities, when tests begin again.
