Dialysis technician training in North Carolina

4 dialysis technician programs with costs, results and funding that can make them free

4 schools offer these dialysis technician programs, and North Carolina has approved every one for workforce funding. Each shows its price if you pay yourself and how past students did.

Patient care dialysis technicians run kidney dialysis machines and give direct care to patients with kidney failure. Under the federal rules for dialysis facilities, they need a high school diploma or equivalent and a training program run under a registered nurse, covering dialysis and its procedures, placing the needles (cannulation), possible complications, water treatment, infection control and safety.1 At dialysis centers covered by Medicare's rules, a patient care dialysis technician must be certified through a state program or a national certification program within 18 months of being hired, and must meet any state rules for dialysis technicians.2

In North Carolina, 3 of the 4 programs ask for a high school diploma or equivalent and 1 asks for earlier courses first.

All 4 are the same kind of program: dialysis technician certificate or course.

Where the North Carolina dialysis technician program numbers come from

Which North Carolina dialysis technician programs are on this list?

These are the dialysis technician programs North Carolina approved for WIOA funding (public workforce funding under the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act), as reported to the US Department of Labor for program year 2024 (July 2024 to June 2025). Each state keeps its approved programs on an eligible training provider list (ETPL).10 The list here covers programs approved as of June 30, 2025. Schools that never applied for approval are missing, so this is a part of what North Carolina offers.

How the prices and results of North Carolina dialysis technician programs are measured

Prices are tuition and required fees for someone paying without workforce funding, as the school reported them; check the current price with the school. Results describe students who left each program in recent years, so they are no guarantee, and the yearly earnings are the reported quarter times four, an estimate. A program without a "Trained with WIOA funding" line may still take WIOA students. Where a field was left empty or withheld, the page says "Not reported", and "Left out" where a figure was filed but failed one of our checks; nothing is estimated to fill a gap. Where the numbers come from explains each figure in full.
