All four lead to the same job.Path 1: STNA License (fastest start)Pay: $18/hour Need: STNA license in Ohio — active or expired. How long: 1-3 days if you move fast. Your STNA means you already passed the state test. You skip our written and skills test entirely. Here's how it works: 1. Apply with your STNA license number 2. Phone talk (20 minutes) 3. Short online questionnaire 4. Sign your paperwork online 5. Online orientation + document verification (30-40 minutes) 6. FingerprintingPath 2: HHA CertificatePay: $16-18/hour based on interview Need: HHA certificate, 30+ hours, signed by RN (unless completed online). How long: 5-8 days to working. Here's how it works: 1. Apply and send your certificate 2. Phone talk (20 minutes) 3. Short online questionnaire 4. Take the HHA test at our Cuyahoga Falls office (scheduled with you) 5. Sign your paperwork online 6. Online orientation + document verification (30-40 minutes) 7. FingerprintingPath 3: Experience Under a Licensed Nurse (no certificate needed)Pay: $16-18/hour based on interview Need: 1+ year at one company where your supervisor was an RN or LPN. How long: 5-8 days after we verify your experience. Where this kind of experience comes from: - Nursing homes - Hospitals - Skilled home health agencies (Medicare-certified) - Assisted living with licensed nurses on staff This does NOT count: - Non-medical home care agencies (supervisor was a care coordinator or office manager) - Private caregiving for family or friends - Any job where your supervisor was not a licensed nurse Ohio requires Home Health Aides to have training OR supervised experience under a licensed nurse. We don't make this rule — the state does.Important — how we verify your experienceOhio law requires us to verify your experience by calling your former employer directly. They confirm your dates, that you worked there 1+ year, and that your supervisor was an RN or LPN. This pathway will NOT work if: - Your former employer uses The Work Number or another third-party verification service (those services only confirm basic dates — they don't confirm RN/LPN supervision, which is what Ohio requires) - The company has closed and no longer has records of your employment - They can't or won't verify the details we need If your old employer uses The Work Number, we cannot use this pathway for you. You may need Path 2 (HHA certificate) or Path 4 (free training) instead. Not sure how your old employer verifies employment? Call their HR department before you apply, or text us at View phone number on click.appcast.io and we'll help you figure it out. Here's how it works: 1. Apply — include your former employer's name, phone number, your RN or LPN supervisor's name and title, and the dates you worked there 2. We call your old employer to verify your experience AND confirm your supervisor was an RN or LPN 3. Once verified, we schedule your phone talk (20 minutes) 4. Short online questionnaire 5. Take the HHA test at our Cuyahoga Falls office (scheduled with you) 6. Sign your paperwork online 7. Online orientation + document verification (30-40 minutes) 8. Fingerprinting We verify first so we don't waste your time on a phone interview if we can't confirm your experience. Not sure if your experience counts? Text us at View phone number on click.appcast.io and we'll help you figure it out.Path 4: No Experience (we train you free)Pay: $16/hour Need: Just a willingness to help people. We teach everything else. How long: 1-2 weeks to working. Here's how it works: 1. Apply 2. Phone talk (20 minutes) 3. Short online questionnaire 4. Complete free 32-hour online HHA training (at home, 6 days to finish, NOT paid) 5. Take the HHA test at our Cuyahoga Falls office (scheduled with you) 6. Sign your paperwork online 7. Online orientation + document verification (30-40 minutes) 8. Fingerprinting Don't finish training in 6 days? We close your application. If something comes up, text us right away.Can't verify your experience? Certificate doesn't qualify?Maybe the company you worked for closed. Maybe there's no one left to call, or they only use a service like The Work Number. That's okay. You're not turned away. You can still join by taking our free online training to qualify. And because you already have a care background, your pay stays based on your interview ($16-18/hour), not the brand-new rate. Only people with no experience at all start at $16.The HHA testOhio requires all Home Health Aides to pass a competency test — not our rule, the state's. Two parts: written questions and skills you demonstrate. You need 80% on both. Both parts happen in person at our Cuyahoga Falls office. We schedule a time that works for you.
