Where the Programs Are
Frequently Asked Questions
How many CNA classes are there in Louisiana?
Louisiana's official approved-program list names 150 state-approved CNA training programs, with the most in Shreveport, Baton Rouge, New Orleans. The list is published by the state and this page mirrors it as of September 2026.
How long is CNA training in Louisiana?
Louisiana requires 80 total training hours, including 40 clinical hours, against the federal minimum of 75. Full-time programs commonly finish in about 4 weeks; part-time tracks take longer.
Are there free CNA classes in Louisiana?

How do I check that a CNA program in Louisiana is state-approved?
Every program on this page comes from Louisiana's official approved list. Before enrolling anywhere, confirm the program still appears on the current state list and ask the Louisiana CNA Registry if you are unsure.
