## FAQ (inline — sourced from site data)

**Q: Do I need a high school diploma for CNA?**
A: No. California does not require a high school diploma or GED for CNA certification. You must be at least 16 years old (18+ for independent enrollment) and demonstrate English proficiency.

**Q: Is WIOA funding really free?**
A: Yes. If you qualify, WIOA covers 100% of your tuition — you pay $0. There's no loan and nothing to pay back. Call LMCC at (909) 625-8050 — we'll walk you through the WIOA process.

**Q: Can I work while in the CNA program?**
A: The CNA program is full-time (Mon–Fri) for 31 business days. Our PM session (4 PM–10:30 PM) allows students to work morning jobs during training.

**Q: How soon can I start working after graduation?**
A: Most graduates receive job offers within 2–4 weeks of passing the state exam. Our HHA placement rate is 97.6% — 40 of 41 graduates employed in healthcare within six months.

**Q: What's the difference between CNA and HHA?**
A: CNAs typically work in facilities (hospitals, nursing homes). HHAs work in patients' homes and earn significantly more — $32/hr vs $22/hr on average in LA. HHA requires CNA certification first and takes just 5 additional days.

**Q: What if I can't afford the tuition?**
A: Multiple options: WIOA covers 100% if you qualify. We also offer 0% interest payment plans, employer sponsorship assistance, and self-pay options.

**Q: Is LMCC approved by the State of California?**
A: Yes. LMCC is approved to operate by BPPE (code 79461413). CNA/HHA/RNA are approved by CDPH; LVN is approved by BVNPT.
