CNA courses may take anywhere between three to twelve weeks. Once you complete the training you may schedule the nurse aide competency test right away. Candidates who pass the examination become state certified right away and receive the actual certificate in a couple of weeks, usually within one month.
If at all possible you should attempt to get the CNA course at a community college or at an adult school. The cost should be less and the cc course may give you college credit. At some cc, CNA course is requirement to enter their nursing program. My state typically has a 12 week course in the adult school. If you want a home health aide certificate also, you go for one more week. Call around and you can find out which class is better for you.
