If you wish to move beyond the typical CNA certificate, the University of Phoenix offers an associate of arts degree with a concentration in health care administration or health care administration/medical records. As an accredited degree, it's a more marketable credential overall than a CNA certificate alone. Speak with one of the school's advisors regarding how it can prepare you for credentialing exams and licensing in your state.

Because it is not necessary to take classes in order to take the certification examination in each state, some students may want to consider Fox Valley Technical College's (FVTC) free online video tutorials.

Students begin with an overview of the career and what it entails and progress through specific topics that include legal issues, safety, human-behavioral studies, theory and practice of caregiver activities, dealing with terminal illnesses and home health care.
