Why Osborne

The Osborne Difference

We're built around one goal: getting you certified, confident, and employed.

Experienced Healthcare Instructors

Every instructor at Osborne has real-world clinical experience. You're not learning from textbooks alone — you're learning from professionals who've worked in hospitals, nursing homes, and home care settings across Los Angeles.

State Accredited

Our program meets all California Department of Public Health requirements for CNA certification.

Small Class Sizes

Personalized attention from day one. Our small cohorts mean instructors know your name and your progress.

Job Placement Support

We connect graduates with hiring partners across the LA healthcare network — hospitals, SNFs, and home health agencies.

Hybrid Online + Weekend Labs

Complete theory online with a live instructor, then complete clinical hours at our partner sites — plus access to an extensive video library. Same certification, maximum flexibility.
