Home Health Aide (HHA)

Home Health Aides work with elderly or disabled persons who need more extensive care than family or friends can provide. Some help discharged hospital patients who have relatively short-term needs.  Home health aides work in patients’ homes or residential care facilities. Nursing aides and  Home Health aides are among occupations commonly referred to as direct care workers, due to their role in working with patients who need long-term care. The specific care they give depends on their specialty.​

Phlebotomy

At FCFTI you receive hands-on instruction and clinical training from highly competent and knowledgeable instructors. With just 180 hours of instruction you will be employable in hospitals, private clinics and physician office labs.

To date, the phlebotomy program at FCFTI has graduated more than 500 students. With the head-start these graduates received from FCFTI some have gone on to work immediately out of school while other have gone on to further their studies and become LPN, RN, and even MD/DO students. The need for phlebotomists is ever growing and FCFTI offers the quality education you need while keeping it an affordable cost to you. For enrollment information please contact our offices.

Additional Training

We also offer updates in Medication, HIV/AIDS, Operational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), Domestic Violence Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), Alzheimer’s, and First aid.

Classes

Classes will be conducted by trained educators who have experience in the Health Industry. Classes will be held on a weekly basis in accordance with the following schedules:

  • Morning schedule: Monday to Friday, 9:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m.
  • Evening schedule: Monday to Thursday, 6:00 p.m. – 10:00 p.m.

Students who take part in the Phlebotomy and Patient Care Assistant evening schedules should be aware that they will be required to adjust their schedules so as to be able to go on the one week clinical during the morning hours, as externships for students drawing blood cannot be done in the evening hours.

In addition, the P.C.A. program may not necessarily be completely consecutive, as there may be a short break between the Phlebotomy/ EKG portions of the course. Students should be prepared for this.

FCFTI will try to accommodate a student who is unable to complete their training fully within the above schedule. The student will possibly be allowed to take home the lesson plan to study and then come in to be tested. Please speak to the Instructor or Administrator regarding the possibility of this arrangement.
