Coastal Career Academy – Nurse Assistant Training Program
Are you at a crossroads in choosing a career path? Not sure if you want to take up a trade, attend a technical school, or university? Not necessarily keen on commuting or relocating to somewhere in central or western Massachusetts? Can’t find something that interests you at local universities?

Consider a career in a perpetually growing field: healthcare. Perhaps you’ve already considered that but unsure where to start. Are there professional facilities close by that offer study in healthcare and in a number of fields?

Coastal Career Academy is now accepting applications for their Nurse Assistant Training Program.
