I have recently taken up an interest in doing C.N.A. instruction. Can anyone tell me if there are any certification classes I need to complete and how much is the salary per class?

How to Become a CNA Instructor
Here's a website with some great information about what's required to become a CNA instructor. You'll have to look into your specific state requirements to see if anything more is required of you. According to this link, all states require that CNA instructors hold an RN license and have at least a couple of years of experience. Some require experience specifically in geriatric nursing. Then you'll need to complete an approved training course to learn how to be an instructor.
