As for our Front Range Nurse Aide Training Program, we issue a "Proof-of-Training-Affidavit" (POTA) to each of our graduates that remains valid for 24 months. If the graduate does not take the State Boards within that 24 month period, then their POTA becomes invalid and they must take an approved training course over again. This is our way of ensuring their training is up-to-date. Also please note that the Front Range Nurse Aide Training Program will ONLY provide testing for students that have completed our entire course!
