Stella L. 5/5 Stars: I did my NA program with them and had a wonderful experience! The instructor did an amazing job of teaching us real life practices and techniques as well as preparing us well for the licensing exam, I passed my exam first try and during my orientation at my job as a CNA I’ve gotten many remarks about how most new CNAs aren’t as well prepared as I am and I give full credit to Dare 2 Care, the whole team is amazing and genuinely want to see their students succeed. I will be coming back for their CNA 2 program. I cannot recommend them enough!
A little bit about us...
We opened our doors in 2012 with one main goal, train our students to be someone we would want providing care to our loved ones. Since then, we have become the 3rd largest Nursing Assistant training program in Oregon. We are still a small, locally owned program maintaining class ratios of ten maximum students per class. We have an intense but successful program with the highest pass rate for first attempt passing on the Oregon State Board of Nursing CNA exam. In addition, most of our graduates take their state board exam at their learning location. We don't offer a variety of different types of classes, our sole focus is Nursing Assistant training.
Did you know?
All programs in Oregon are essentially free! Successful graduates can immediately seek employment at a licensed care facility where they are legally required to be reimbursed 100% of fees paid to obtain their CNA certification without being on contract employment. This reimbursement includes registration fees, tuition, books, drug testing, background check, CPR, and state testing fees. Our graduates are highly recruited by employers
Options
We offer day classes, night classes, Lebanon classes, and funding resources all to help make our program more accessible! You may even qualify to get all costs reimbursed after successful completion! Call us for more info!
We Dare to Care for our students and dare our students to care about others!
