Ellsworth Adult and Community Education

Ellsworth Adult & Community Education is working with MDI Hospital and Birch Bay Village to offer a Certified Nursing Assistant course.  This orientation is an information session, providing you with enough information to determine if our CNA+ program is a good fit for you this winter.  We will provide an overview of the program as well as provide information about the admissions process.  This is an in-person session.

CNA Plus also offers BLS, CPR & First Aid, Digital Literacy Certification and a WorkReady credential. Pre-requisites are access to high speed internet, basic computer skills and a computer and sufficient reading skills for class success.   

Interested students can begin on the Northstar Digital Literacy and WorkReady Credentials anytime.  This orientation will provide you with all the information you need to decide if the CNA+ course is a good fit for you this winter.  

This course is free for Maine residents who plan to work at a facility in this region.  It is funded by a Strengthen Maine's Workforce Grant
