Where the Programs Are
Frequently Asked Questions
How many CNA classes are there in Florida?
Florida's official approved-program list names 192 state-approved CNA training programs, with the most in Miami, Jacksonville, Port Saint Lucie. The list is published by Florida Board of Nursing and this page mirrors it as of September 2026.
How long is CNA training in Florida?
Florida requires 120 total training hours, including 40 clinical hours, against the federal minimum of 75. Full-time programs commonly finish in about 6 weeks; part-time tracks take longer.
Are there free CNA classes in Florida?
Under federal rule 42 CFR 483.152(c), a nursing facility cannot charge a nurse aide it employs for training and must reimburse a new hire's training cost within 12 months of certification. 9 of the 192 approved programs in Florida run at nursing facilities or care centers, which are the usual source of free or paid-while-training tracks.
How do I check that a CNA program in Florida is state-approved?
Every program on this page comes from Florida's official approved list (linked below). Before enrolling anywhere, confirm the program still appears on the current state list and ask the Florida CNA Registry if you are unsure.
