Its courses are online and include both theory and practical elements such as clinical hours, plus preparation for national certification exams. Classes are designed to be completed in a few months. Tuition pays for the online courses, certification prep, and access to a network of healthcare employers, and Stepful partners with employers to help graduates find jobs. This helps students gain credentials and secure employment in healthcare.
