Certified Nursing Assistant Program FAQs
How long does certified nursing assistant training take?
With self-paced training, the amount of time it takes to reach your goal is largely in your hands. That said, our Certified Nursing Assistant program is designed to take 100–235 hours of online coursework (depending on your state’s requirements) with an externship experince. Standards and expectations vary from state to state so total hours may differ depending on where you intend to register.
Is an externship experience included in my certified nursing assistant training?
Clinical hours are an essential component of your training—particularly as you work towards certification and potential employment. They give you a chance to test your current skill level and put all your new knowledge to work in real-world settings. That’s why we work with a vast network of healthcare organizations to provide these hands-on learning experiences. Please keep in mind that while clinical hours are included as part of your course, placement is based on a number of factors—including geography and availability—so we can’t guarantee that you’ll find placement in your area.
How much do certified nursing assistants make?
As with most healthcare professions, pay rates for CNAs vary depending on geographic location and experience. The Beaureau of Labor Statistics reports that the average salary falls between $30,000 and $35,000 a year, with the top 10% earning $50,000.
Is financial assistance available?
CareerStep offers a variety of flexible payment options, installment plans, and even discounts for U.S. veterans, Active Duty service members, and their spouses. As CareerStep is not an educational institution, we cannot offer—or accept—traditional financial aid, such as student scholarships, loans, and grants through FAFSA. However, our low-cost training programs are affordably priced and our goal is to find a payment solution that meets your needs.
