HCA Learning Plans
with In-Person Skills

Once you register for our HCA Learning Plan, you will get your own login details for your student account.

The first thing you need to do is to go through the Student Guide, which will explain our training in detail.

​

After that, you can start with your self-paced online learning path. You will have access to the Live Skills Labs Step 1 course as part of the Core Basic Courses.

 

There will be an assignment there for you to schedule your Live Skills Labs at your chosen location. You can open this course and schedule your session even before completing any of the other core basic courses. In fact, we recommend it!

​

Once you pick your dates, our staff will save your spot for the desired dates and keep track of your attendance. When you attend both Skills Labs days, the Skills Labs part of your training will be marked complete.

​

Keep in mind these important things:

​

• You DON’T have to wait to finish your self-paced Core Basic training to do your Skills Labs. You can do them whenever you like.

• Live Skills are held ONLY in Spokane, Olympia, Mountlake Terrace, or Vancouver, and you need to register for them in advance.

• You can choose between weekend or weekday dates for your Skills Labs.
   

Once you finish all of your HCA Learning Plan courses and the Skills Labs, you will receive your 75hr HCA Training Certificate.

​

If you are an existing Cornerstone client, and you have a billing account, you can still register for HCA Learning Plans with in-person Skills Labs using the Employer Registration Form, just like you always do.

​

We enforce a strict forty-eight (48) hour cancellation/reschedule policy for all In-Person Skills Lab sessions, as we have many students currently on wait lists for Lab seats. If a caregiver does not show up, or cancels/reschedules a Skills Lab less than forty-eight (48) hours prior to the start of their registered Lab, a $100 fee will be imposed. If the caregiver is paying for their own tuition, they will be emailed an invoice that can be paid online. If the employer is paying for the caregiver's tuition, the employer will be billed for this fee. Caregivers are encouraged to check with their employer regarding this process as some employers initiate a payroll deduction to recover the cost of such fees.
