Every program at Hillendell can be paid in full or spread across weekly installments. Here's exactly how each option works.
These are shown for planning purposes — you don't need to choose or pay tuition at the time of registration. Your first payment (or full payment) is due on or before Orientation, and can be made anytime through your student account.
Split your tuition into weekly installments — 4 payments for standard CNA programs, or 5 payments if you add the CMA Pathway. A one-time $25 installment fee is added to the total.
Pay your full tuition balance in one payment, due on or before Orientation. No $25 installment fee applies.
Pay any amount toward your balance at any time. Make multiple partial payments, or pay more than the scheduled amount — as long as the minimum required amount is paid by each due date.
Tuition varies by program format — see exact pricing on the Programs page.
Your first tuition payment (whether paying in full or on the payment plan) is due on or before Orientation — not at enrollment. The $100 registration fee is the only payment due when you enroll.

To enroll in the CNA program, students must be at least 16 years old, and have a valid Social Security card and a valid state-issued ID. You don't need to have all clinical requirements completed before your first day of class — you'll be given a deadline to submit required documents before participating in clinical training.
Yes. A background check is included with your tuition. Applicants must also disclose whether they currently hold or have previously held a nurse aide certification — the applicable Nurse Aide Registry will be checked for adverse findings. An applicant with an adverse finding on a current or previous Nurse Aide Registry cannot enroll in the Nurse Aide Training Program.
A criminal history does not necessarily mean you cannot enroll. However, information found on a background check may affect your ability to participate in clinical training at certain healthcare facilities, and may affect future employment opportunities. Clinical facilities and employers may have their own background requirements.
Possibly. If you currently hold or previously held a nurse aide certification, your status with the applicable Nurse Aide Registry will be verified. If the registry shows an adverse finding, you are not eligible to enroll in the Nurse Aide Training Program.
