How long was your CNA school?

4 weeks, 6 days a week I think.

15 weeks (regular semester). We met 7 hours per week.

I can see it being done in two weeks if you met every day.

About 5 months o____o Of course, I however did do it for free (free meals and housing as well!) through Job Corps though so I had to be put on a waiting list for most things.

Mine was a bi-term course at a community college. 8 weeks, 3 days a week for 4 hours.

Our state requires 75 of classroom instruction and I think 16 hours of clinicals.

I actually got my CNA through a vocational school while I was in high school. As part of a high school program. So my junior and senior year my classes after lunch were dedicated towards my CNA. So it took my awhile to get, but I was able to do so while attending the day at high school. We did class our junior year and took the test mid senior year and was able to work after lunch instead of taking classes my senior year, so it was like a school to work program my senior year. It was pretty nifty really. I had my CNA by time I was 17 started classes when I was 16.
