LICENSED NURSE
ASSISTANT PROGRAM
The LNA Program is designed to prepare eligible candidates to practice as
a nurse assistant providing direct patient care. The necessary knowledge
and skills gained throughout the course will prepare the student to apply
for Licensed Nurse Assistant (LNA) licensure with the State Board of
Nursing. The program is targeted to individuals who are interested in an
entry level position in healthcare and immediate employment that will best
meet their needs and those of their family unit. Nurse assistants may work
in hospitals, long-term care facilities, doctor’s offices, private duty, home
health, and other medical facilities. This program is 124 hours long and
covers a period of 17 weeks. The training course consists of a combination
of live and online classes, lab, and practice in various clinical settings. The
curriculum also includes an online Keys to Effective Communication course
delivered through ed2go as well as the BLS Healthcare Provider course from
the American Heart Association. Both experiences are designed to provide
any healthcare professional with the ability to recognize and communicate
several life-threatening emergencies, administer CPR, use an AED, and
relieve choking in a safe, timely, and efficient manner.
STC PHLEBOTOMY
CERTIFICATION PROGRAM
The Office of Adult and Continuing Education is recruiting adult students to
enroll in another Stafford Signature Allied Health Program delivered through its
partnership with the Technology Extension Division of Vermont Technical College.
Phlebotomists draw blood for testing from patients in hospitals and medical labs.
They also take vital signs, explain procedures and practice safe techniques for storing
blood samples. To become a phlebotomist, you must complete an approved training
program. This phlebotomy class includes studies of proper collection of blood
samples, venipuncture techniques, patient care, safety, tests and quality assurance.
This thirteen-week course is designed for students who are seeking employment at
local healthcare facilities or healthcare professionals who want to augment existing
skills in their current positions. Students who successfully complete this class will
be eligible to sit for the Certified Phlebotomy Technician (CPT) examination offered
by the National Healthcareer Association (NHA) at Stafford Technical Center in
December, 2020.

CERTIFIED MEDICAL ASSISTANT PROGRAM
REGISTER NOW AS AVAILABLE SEATS FILL QUICKLY!
Medical assisting is a highly rewarding profession that provides some of the most flexible career opportunities
in health care. Medical Assistants are valued members of a primary care or clinic team. Their role is fast‐paced
and interesting with patient comfort and safety being the foundation for every interaction. The MA is the first
person to welcome a patient to the clinic and they set the stage for a comfortable and caring experience for
every patient. The majority of medical assistants work in physicians’ offices, the remainder can be found in
state, local and private hospitals and outpatient care centers. Depending on the facility at which you work, you
may be needed to work evenings, weekends or holidays. While this is uncommon in a doctor’s office, it might
be necessary at hospitals and healthcare facilities that are open 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
To help prepare you to meet the demands of your new position, the Stafford Technical Center ATE Certified Medical Assistant Program will provide you with a carefully
sequenced accelerated and intensive educational program that includes both classroom and clinical training delivered. Classes offered during the program include Keys to
Effective Communication, Basic Human Anatomy, Medical Terminology, Pharmacology, Injections, Vaccinations and Inoculations, Essentials of Medical Billing and Coding, and
Social, Ethical and Legal Issues in Allied Health, I.T. Applications and Medical Office Support Skills, and Clinical Medical Assisting Lab. Students who successfully complete
the program are recommended to sit for the nationally-recognized Certified Clinical Medical Assistant (CCMA) examination offered at Stafford Technical Center through the
National Healthcareer Association (NHA).
We are currently recruiting applicants for the third cohort of our program that is scheduled to begin on September 22, 2020. For more information, including a candidate
enrollment packet, course outline and calendar, and instructions about how to apply for the Advancement Grant through the Vermont Student Assistance Corporation (VSAC)
