We make it simple to start your healthcare career.
Get everything you need to become a Florida Licensed Nursing Assistant — including unlimited practice time, on-site background screening, and the convenience of testing with Prometric right here at our center.

What to Expect

Choose between our Standard Route and Diploma Route — both prepare you for the Florida Nurse Aide Exam and lead to the same Florida CNA licensure.

The Standard Route focuses on the core concepts and clinical skills required to pass the state exam and begin working as a Certified Nursing Assistant.

The Diploma Route includes everything in the Standard Route, plus access to our online learning platform (LMS) for broader concepts.

No matter which route you choose, you’ll receive guidance and support every step of the way — from your first day of class to the day you earn your CNA license.

Licensure Eligibility Disclosure

Students can be approved to sit for the exam prior to having an Social Security Number (SSN); however, pursuant to Title 42 U.S.C. §§ 653 and 654 and Florida Statutes §§ 456.013(1), 409.2577, and 409.2598, a SSN is mandatory for CNA license issuance. 

A criminal record does not automatically disqualify you from licensure, but certain offenses may delay or affect the background screening process. If you have a record you believe may be a concern, contact us before registering so we can help guide you through the process.

CNA Training & Testing Center and Career Training Institute LLC do not make licensure eligibility determinations. That authority rests with the Florida Board of Nursing under applicable state and federal law.
