CNA classes in Connecticut

In order to satisfy federal and state guidelines, CNA classes in Connecticut require their students to complete at least 100 hours of study – 75 hours of which must occur in the classroom. Accredited certified nursing assistant courses can usually be completed in 12 weeks or less, and may be take either online or at any state-approved institution (including the American Red Cross of Connecticut). The standard course prerequisite is for students to be at least 18 years old and have completed either a high school diploma or GED. There may be additional requirements for some programs in addition to these.

Upon completing their CNA training, program graduates are required to take the National Nurse Aide Assessment Program (NNAAP) within 24 months. Failure to do so will force the individual to retake all of his or her coursework before becoming eligible to test for certification. Employment as a CNA will require the individual to be listed in the Connecticut State Certified Nurse Aide Registry.

Because of comparatively high demand for nurses aides in local job markets, CNA classes in Connecticut are primarily offered at locations in Hartford and New Haven.
