Certified nursing assistants (CNAs) are valuable members of the healthcare team who work under the supervision of a licensed nurse.  A fulfilling career as a CNA can provide opportunities to work in assisted living & skilled nursing facilities, hospitals, clinics, and home health and hospice centers. 

The Nurse Assistants Program is run under the direction of the Utah Nursing Assistant Registry (UNAR).  This program is designed for students to receive their CNA certification by completing coursework in a classroom setting, hands-on demonstrations, and clinical externships.  

MTECH students will receive training on: infection prevention, proper body mechanics and positioning, caring for the resident and their environment, nutrition, body systems, mental health, and communication. Upon program completion, students will also be First Aid and CPR certified. Upon completion of the program, you will be eligible to sit for the state knowledge and skills certification exams.

This program is eligible for Veterans Aid! Learn more

I was in the Medical Assisting program while I was at Mtech, and I loved it. Everyday was definitely a challenge of focus and personal responsibility, but the things I learned from being a part of the program are things I probably won’t ever forget. I’m grateful to have been able to learn from amazing instructors who were always willing to help in anything we needed. If it weren’t for them I probably wouldn’t have enjoyed the class as much as I did. My favorite thing from the class was the phlebotomy aspect of it. Drawing blood was very fun to me and it’s something I decided to take further and am now working toward being certified as a Phlebotomist as well. I am now working as an MA and I feel like I was well prepared from taking the program at Mtech. Obviously clinic is different than classroom, but having that foundation makes it so much easier to build off of.

I have always wanted a career in the medical field. Mountainland Technical College was the perfect fit. As a mom of nine, I needed to be wise with my time. With the open enrollment, I was able to choose a class that fit into my busy schedule without missing out on family events. I am now in the Medical Assistant program working towards achieving my goals. My instructors are amazing, the small class size make learning optimal. This really is a course where everyone wants to see each other succeed. As a bonus, my kids see from my example that you are never too old to follow your dreams.
