Check with your local high school, adult education department, work opportunity center, the American Red Cross, community colleges, long term care facilities, or proprietary schools for CNA classes. Do a search for "CNA course" on the internet, to find these. You will receive all the instruction you need during the course, no need to look for anything else, with the possible exception of BLS (CPR) certification, if you want to do it on your own.

I just earned my CNA certification in December. It was a piece of cake. The information I learned was valuable and will stick with me forever. The state exam was very similar to any practice exams you will have during your CNA program. Good luck to you!!!

Not sure if you were able to take your next steps to becoming a CNA but following up just in case! Becoming a CNA isn't too time consuming. Additionally, a lot of your local colleges or specialized schools probably offer a CNA certification course at an affordable rate. Your first step would be to make calls to these schools and ask for more information on their CNA programs.
