NNAAP Testing: Redefine LTC is an approved testing site for students that complete our training program. This is an added benefit for our students! Students are typically able to test within 10 days to 4 weeks of completion of the program. In addition to the timeliness of testing, students are also more familiar with the testing location, lab setting, equipment, and supplies which helps them feel more confident and comfortable during the testing event.
Redefine LTC is also a Regional Test Site for Credentia. Students that complete trainining elsewhere can test at our location. Here is a link to the Credentia website for scheduling and additional testing information: www.credentia.com
Testing Prep Days: Redefine LTC offers 1-2 testing preparation days per month. These are available at no cost to our students and available to non-students for $50.00 per day. Contact us for dates and times. Limited spots available.
