Demand for CNA weekend training programs means a good prospect for those looking for such a curriculum. The best way to determine the options is to contact local training facilities in your area.
Facilities that may offer weekend CNA training include community colleges, technical schools, some nursing facilities, some high schools, and potentially some nursing schools, as described at the CNA Training Help website.
One thing to keep in mind about a weekend-only training program is that completing training takes longer than a full-time weekday program. Also, since a CNA training program includes both an in-class and a clinical component, potentially only the in-class time may afford a weekend-only schedule.
Some example weekend CNA training programs include Prime Career College in California, Arizona Medical Training Institute (AMTI) in Arizona, and Health Care Career Institute (HCCI) in Texas.
