hey, I recently got information from two different schools offering cna classes. On is at a technical high school, which offers it through their adult program. And the other Is at a community college, offering it through their continuing education program. Before I planned to go to the technical school, who's price is $590, but their classes are all filled, so I got info from the college which said their price was $350. I know that these prices does not include, book fees and testing fees, But the thing is, $350 is pretty darn cheap compared to $590.. So I was wondering if maybe there may be a reason for why one is cheaper? Does it possibly offer less? Anyone know why that could be?

There probably isn't a huge difference. In my area, classes ranged from $500 to $900. Some were only 4 weeks, other were 3 months (community college). But they all teach you what you need to know to pass the state exam, and you get clinical time in all of them. Pick depending on your schedule or finances, or whatever applies to you. I wanted to get done and get a job ASAP, so I took a 4 week class, that was about $800, plus supplies.
thanks, and yeah i defanately plan on taking the cheaper ones. plus i think its closer to me.
