MoWest to offer Home Health Aide certification classes

Oct. 1, 2025-Missouri Western State University's Center for Workforce Development will begin their next classes for Missouri Home Health Aide certification from 8 to 10:30 a.m. Saturday, Oct. 4 in the Houlne Center for Convergent Technology.

Home Health Aides (HHA) work in clients' homes, group homes or assisted living facilities, working with family members and other healthcare professionals to provide comprehensive care. MoWest's training meets all Missouri, Medicare and Medicaid requirements and provides options for the annual professional development required to maintain home health aide certification.

The six-week HHA program blends online and classroom learning to allow for the adult learner to continue to work a full-time job if needed. Limited class sizes and hands-on learning are what make MoWest the designated applied learning institution in Missouri.

The training fee is $1,900 with an additional $100 for supplies. Participants may qualify for a grant through a partner agency.

The Houlne Center for Convergent Technology is located at 4141 Mitchell Ave. in St. Joseph. For more information about this class or to register for the course, please visit missouriwestern.edu/workforce/certified-home-health-aide/.
