One Training Center. Multiple Paths Into Healthcare.
First Coast Training Center brings together the programs many Northeast Florida students already know as First Coast CPR and First Coast CNA, along with our newer First Coast Phlebotomy and First Coast EKG programs.
Since 2014, we have focused on practical, hands-on training that helps students build real skills and prepare for the next step in their healthcare careers. Today, students can train for CNA, CPR/BLS/ACLS, Phlebotomy, and EKG in one location, with certification preparation and testing support available for all of our programs.
As an American Heart Association Training Center and an approved testing site for CNA, NHA, and MedCA certifications, First Coast Training Center can support many students from training through certification—all in one place.
