Admission Process
Step 1: Information Session & Application
☐ Register for and attend an Information Session — sessions are held virtually via zoom. Register here. A Zoom link will be emailed to you before your scheduled session.
☐ Download the Nurse Aide Training Program Application — Download the application form. Complete it fully and legibly.
☐ Submit your completed application — Upload it here (Dropbox file request), or return it in person.
☐ Provide a valid, unexpired government-issued photo ID (e.g., Driver's License or Passport).
☐ Bring your original Social Security card in person for verification — a photocopy or photo of the card cannot be accepted.
☐ Submit an official copy of your high school diploma or GED. Unofficial copies, screenshots, or transcripts without an official seal will not be accepted.
☐ Submit a copy of your health insurance card — front and back.
Step 2: Background Check & Drug Screening
☐ Complete your criminal background check through FirstPoint Resources — Go to FirstPoint Resources (StudentScreener.com). This lets you securely order your own background check for submission to CHAZ Training School.
☐ Complete the required 12-panel drug screen.
Both items must be completed and submitted to the compliance officer prior to the enrollment deadline. Results that come back positive or unresolved may affect your eligibility to enroll.
Step 3: Immunizations, Health Screening & CPR/BLS
☐ Complete the Student State Passport — required by UNC before you can begin any hands-on clinical training. Go to the Student State Passport.
☐ Provide proof of immunity/immunization records for the following, as listed on the Student State Passport:
• Measles, Mumps, Rubella (MMR) — 2 doses or positive titer
• Varicella (chickenpox) — 2 doses or positive titer
• Tetanus/Diphtheria/Pertussis (Tdap)
• Hepatitis B series or Heplisav-B (2 doses, 4 weeks apart) — or signed declination
• Influenza vaccine (current flu season)
• Tuberculosis (TB) screening, completed prior to clinical placement
Limited exemptions for medical or religious reasons may be considered with proper documentation — contact the compliance officer if this applies to you.
☐ Complete CPR/BLS certification (American Red Cross or American Heart Association only). If you already hold a current certification, send us your certificate for review and approval. CHAZ Training School also offers a BLS certification class for $75, based on student interest — ask us if you'd like to be added to a session.
Step 4: Payment & Financial
☐ Pay the $250 registration fee. This fee is non-refundable.
☐ Pay tuition in full ($800) or set up a payment plan (3 or 4 installments available). Regardless of the plan chosen, your balance must be paid in full prior to orientation. Payments made by credit card include a 5% processing fee.
Step 5: Uniform, Textbook & Supplies
☐ Purchase the required textbook: Mosby's Essentials for Nursing Assistants, 7th Edition (Sorrentino/Remmert), ISBN 9780323796316. Available as an e-book or physical textbook.

☐ Purchase your uniform: royal blue scrubs. We recommend at least three sets so you always have a clean uniform to rotate through.

☐ Obtain a watch with a second hand, a stethoscope, and closed-toe shoes. Apple Watches and other smartwatches are not permitted — you need a traditional analog second hand for taking vital signs. All items must be in good working condition, as they are required for your skills exam.
