CASAS Reading
Prior to enrollment in a CNA or CMA course, prospective students may be required to complete a CASAS reading assessment. The CASAS reading assessment is used by Manhattan Tech to qualify enrollment into CNA and CMA continuing education courses. Even if you are not sure when you might actually enroll in a CNA or CMA class, we advise you to complete this assessment in order to be ready to enroll as new classes are opened.
