Hello. Well I'm new here and I'm interested in becoming a CNA, because throughout my life I have worked my A$$ off doing pointless stuff, mostly selling useless and pointless products, or doing pointless redundant tasks. I want a job that matters no matter the physical strain on me, I can handle it. My name is Sunaj, I am an Afro American male of 25. I am currently a dish washer at Whole Foods. I am looking to transition to become a CNA but it's difficult to get into school where it's offered due to my work schedule. I saw an ad on craigslist and called them, I asked the guy how it was possible to train people on 1 day and he said he's been doing it for six years. I wasn't sure what kind of questions to ask him as this doesn't really seem as legit concrete or "robust" as a full blown course held at a technical college or elsewhere. The CNA program is full already and wont be starting until the summer here at my local school, though there are two of them, I need more info on the other one. So my question to you all " Is the craigslist ad legit at all? " if so, " what are the pros and cons?" Thanks -Sunaj
I say go for it! CNA its mostly on the job anyways. Where I am from (Alabama) 90% of everyone is not certified. I went to CNA school just to show that I had Hands on experience ( I am a pre med major), and I found it to be pointless. Other than how to take vitals there isnt much to learn.

Fast Track CNA companies are legit and can be utilized to pass your test if you are a self motivated go getter! Whether or not this program is a good one, I don't know. There are reputable fast track companies who have as good a pass rate as schools with longer classes. Ask him if you get a free refresher if you fail the test the first time.
