Training will teach you many different health care proficiencies such as resident independence, infection control, CPR, safety procedures, patient rights, emergency preparedness, Heimlich maneuver, interpersonal experience, and communication skills.
Once you have gone through a school course you can submit an application to schedule a time to take the certification exams. The exams are both a written test and a manual hands-on skills component.
