Since 2007, KY Healthcare Training (formerly KY Health Training) has provided hands on skilled care training for healthcare professionals in Lexington, Kentucky.

The KY Healthcare Training staff is a family whose sole purpose is to make each student successful so that they can take the practical skills they learn at KY Healthcare Training back to their local community.


Our students come from many surrounding states and counties and each have different reason for coming. Some students wish to go immediately into the workforce while others

come to fulfill prerequisites to further their healthcare career. Students that have completed our program can be found working on degrees at UK, in local hospitals and in skilled care facilities around the state. We hope you choose to join our class so we can help you succeed in your healthcare career.


We offer convenient payment plans for all of our courses.
