in depth orientation to the healthcare facilities environment that includes:

through testing. A three(3) year certificate is issued after successfully completing. Most if not all
healthcare facilities require some type of healthcare orientation prior to allowing individuals to work
at the facility. This is a fee based program.
21. HEALTHCARE FACILITIES FOUNDATION

The primary benefit of the HFL Certificate would be for those with
some trade or general maintenance background who desire to
enter or advance positions in the healthcare facilities services
profession. These positions would include healthcare technicians
& supervisors. The Certificate program would require students
take all 100 level series HFL courses (16 credit hours). All classes
are stackable/transferrable to the HFL Degree or Diploma
credentials. Enrollment in the HFF certificate DOES NOT require
college entrance assessment for English, Reading, or Math.
