The Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) course is designed for persons who need nursing assistant training to work in skilled nursing facilities or other healthcare environments; as well as for students preparing to enter the RN and LPN programs at CEI. THE CNA course is non-credit and offered by Workforce Training and Continuing Education.
NOTE: Applicants must now be a certified CNA to apply for the RN and LPN programs.
Classes are approximately nine weeks long and are a blend of classroom instruction and hands on lab/skills; as well as clinical experience. We offer classes in Idaho Falls, Rexburg and Salmon with a schedule that runs throughout the year. There are pre-requisites, including a mandatory online orientation; please register here. More information can be found on our program flyer and you are invited to contact wtce@cei.edu with questions.
After passing the class, students are eligible to test for the state skills and written exams. Both exams are offered at CEI and students have six months after passing the class to pass the skills exam, and another six months to pass the written exam.
We offer multiple CNA classes in Idaho Falls, Rexburg, and Salmon. You will have experienced and knowledgeable instructors and support staff. You are able to take the course, the State skills exam, and State written test all at CEI.
