On Campus Healthcare Courses

Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA)
SLCC’s short-term CNA program trains students to assist people in need of long-term healthcare. Students learn basic nursing skills to meet the physiological, psychosocial, socio-cultural, and spiritual needs of clients in various healthcare environments.  Students receive 75 hours of classroom instruction and 45 hours of hands-on clinical experience. CNA training and experience puts students on a career pathway to becoming an LPN or other healthcare professional. 

Medical Coding and Billing (classroom): 
With SLCC’s Corporate College’s short-term course, students learn medical terminology, anatomy, insurance and billing, and coding. In the process, students obtain all the hands-on experience necessary to code medical insurance claims with confidence. By the end of the 9-month course, students are familiar with the CPT manual and the current ICD manual.  This is an in-person course taught at SLCC’s Lafayette Campus.  Call 337-521-9028 or email workforce@solacc.edu for class dates and tuition assistance.
