How many CNA classes are there in New York?
New York's official approved-program list names 163 state-approved CNA training programs, with the most in Albany, Auburn, Buffalo. The list is published by NYS DOH open-data (free/facility track) + NYSED (tuition track) and this page mirrors it as of September 2026.
How long is CNA training in New York?

The ENTIRE 163-row DOH dataset is the free-of-charge track (DOH approves only no-cost programs; tuition programs go through NYSED).
