Can't find CNA Training in Chico

Published

I've been looking for ages but I can't find anyone offering CNA training in my area. It's depressing calling all of these places asking if they offer them and being shot down. I did manage to find one, but they didn't offer night classes which I need so I can still go to school.

Any tips on how to find where they're being held? I've tried googling it but I just came up with dead ends. I'm thinking about calling my hospital and asking if they know a place that's offering such training.

Thanks for any help. Also first post here!

Yes I have, but they discontinued their program awhile ago.

Thanks for the link! It shows one facility in my area, but when I went to their website it says they wern't offering the class. :crying2:

Did you try calling your local Red Cross? Or if you have a local unemployment/career center? I called both of those places near me in PA and they both knew of classes being offered.

Good luck!

I looked online and the Red Cross isn't offering any classes near me. I will have to call a few places to see if they know where they're being offered.

Will report back tomorrow with what I uncover, wish me luck!

The Red Cross wasn't actually offering the class, but they did tell me of one that was at a local technical school. That's why I thought if you called them they may be able to tell you about where a class is being held. :o

Well I ended up calling a ton of places, and they all said the same thing. The only place offering CNA classes is in another town, 45 minutes away. So I guess I'm out of luck. :crying2: Since CNA is out of the question, I'm going to start looking for other jobs in the medical field that don't require much training, to get my feet wet. If you have any suggestions, other than CNA obviously, than let me know!

Thanks for all the help guys.
