How It Works

Step 1: Find a Training Program

Use our map to locate an approved OnTrack training site near you. Most sites are employers — some may require you to be hired first.

Step 2: Complete Online Learning

Work through engaging online modules at your own pace, from anywhere. Videos, scenarios, quizzes, and a Learning Journal guide you through every topic. Select materials are available in Hmong, Spanish, and Somali to support multilingual  learners.


Step 3: Practice Skills In Person

Attend scheduled hands-on sessions led by a qualified RN instructor at your training site. This is where your knowledge becomes real caregiving skill.


Step 4: Choose Your Next Step

After completing the program, you can take the Minnesota Nurse Aide Competency Exam to join the state registry — or step directly into entry-level caregiving roles.
