I took my class at an LTC and I got hired at a hospital after I got a little experience in.
I'll just say it - the class is EASY. The college classes are longer than necessary, in my opinion, and more expensive. I can't imagine paying more than you have to for it when the main point is just to get your certification.
I have never had a prospective job ask me where I took my CNA class. It just doesn't matter. The important thing is the experience you get after you get it.

I was originally going to have to wait until March to take a CNA course through our community college because nobody else was giving the class. I found out today that a local LTC facility is offering the class and I was wondering which looks better on an application or does it really matter? The LTC facility is about $250 cheaper then the community college and I wouldn't have a 30 minute drive to get to class like I would with the community college. I would ultimately like to work in a hospital, not a nursing home. Our local hospital has several positions availiable and pay much better. So in the end does it really matter, anyone train at a LTC facility then get a job at the hospital?
