Two Great Ways to Become a CNA
AHCA is currently offering a TNA to CNA Test Prep course, which is completely online and may be used to prepare for CNA licensure or as a study guide. Click here if you are interested in the TNA to CNA Test Prep Course.
Through our facility members, a hybrid training course (partially online and partially on-site) remains available through CNAonline powered by Academic Platforms. To see if this option is available in your state, visit CNAonline.com.
After confirming that your state accepts CNAonline training, you can use our search feature to locate skilled nursing facilities or assisted living communities in your area.
Contact your state nurse aide registry for additional information about your state’s requirements. This Directory of Nurse Aide Registries provides contact information by state.
The TNA training program is no longer being offered due to CMS ending the federal waiver that allowed for its utilization. If you have passed the TNA course, email educate@ahca.org to request an electronic copy of your certificate be sent to you.

Disclaimer
AHCA/NCAL has created these courses to assist providers to recruit and train temporary staff during the national emergency caused by the coronavirus pandemic. While the federal government has issued a blanket waiver for such temporary nurse aides, state requirements may need to be waived to permit individuals under this training program in your location. Employers should check with their state survey agencies and their state occupational licensing agencies, where applicable, to ensure individuals trained under this program are permitted to assist with care in your location.
