Certified Nurse Assistant in blue scrubs

Free CNA classes near you

A role as a certified nursing assistant (CNA) can be a great place to begin your healthcare career. CNAs are the backbone of healthcare, and they spend more time directly caring for patients than people in any other position.

Our free CNA training program presents the basics of bedside patient care with an emphasis on geriatrics and long-term care.

You’ll be fully certified after completing the course, and Ballad Health will pay for your state certification test, too!
