Starting September 1, 2024 our program will be changing due to new Washington State requirements. The new program will be a blended learning model where you will complete online course work and come in weekly for in-person skills and review. There will be a new class that starts the 1st Monday of every month. You MUST be available at all times and dates listed for that month to attend the course.
Our Program Will Save You Time & Money While Preparing You For Your Future
Truly Affordable Pricing
Unlike a traditional NAC program through a community college, when decide to get certified through us, you won't have to worry about high tuition costs! Our program pricing gives you the ability to choose a plan that makes sense for you. We even have a monthly payment option so you can get started on your learning right away!
Get Certified In 5 Weeks!
We've streamlined the entire certification process so that you can work through the program as quickly as you want. The traditional programs can be drawn out over a whole year! With the self-paced components in our certification course, you'll be able to advance to certification quicker than anywhere else!
Unique Learning Approach
Our NAC program has been developed by industry experts, nurses and doctors, as well as cinematographers to bring you a truly immersive learning experience with simulated labs and scenarios. Our 3 phase system focuses not only on helping you pass your exam, but also on truly preparing you to work in the field!
Learning Reimagined
Our NAC program is centered around “Story-Based Learning“. As part of your learning experience, you will get an immersive look into the nursing industry as you follow the stories of several characters in an interactive and cinematic journey. This video-based learning is fun, interactive, and extremely effective. Watch the video below to see what the NAC program will entail!

Entrance Requirements
To be accepted into the program, applicants must:
- Be at least 18 years of age

A criminal history may not bar you from obtaining a State credential, however, failure to report a criminal history may result in an extra cost to you and the application may be delayed or denied.
Columbia Safety is not responsible for reimbursement or a refund of tuition due to a denied background check or for a “pending” background check restricting the student from participating in clinical internships or receiving licensure from the Washington State Department of Health.
- Complete Prerequisites*
*Prerequisites can be taken as part of the program with our “All Inclusive” package.
Courses needed: American Heart Association BLS CPR, American Heart Association Heartsaver First-Aid, and 7-HR HIV/Aids Certification. ($200 bundle if purchased separately from NAC program)
