CNA Prep

This course prepares students for success on the certified nursing assistant exam in Florida. It is a fast-paced interactive course that provides students an opportunity to review essential materials and practice patient care clinical testing skills with other students. In addition to hands on clinical practice, students complete a practice written examination.

  • Previous experience is not required to take the CNA certification exam in Florida
  • You can begin your healthcare career by challenging the state exam to obtain your CNA certificate!
  • If you have attempted and failed the state CNA exam 3 times you are required to take a 120 hour CNA course before attempting the exam for a fourth time; this course is not 120 hours.

    The course fee does not include the state of Florida testing fee ($155.00) or the background screening fee ($76.50). Testing to become a Certified Nursing Assistant in Florida is conducted by Prometric. LEARN MORE about CNA testing in Florida.
