State Approved vs. Cna Prep course

Hi everyone, I'm in week 3 of a five week CNA prep Course, and I am wondering what is the difference between a State Approved CNA course and a CNA prep course? I feel they both lead to the same CNA, but does it make a difference in the job market, referring more towards hospital jobs? I signed up and paid for the program before knowing that there are different ways to obtaining a CNA
Thanks

Once you are certified, it doesn't matter where or how you got your training to most employers. Good luck!

Yeah it doesn't matter where you go. I took a CNA Prep course also. The one that I took was a lot more compact, but as long as you take enough notes and study you should be fine.
