YouTube Video: Should you Challenge the Florida CNA Exam?

Thousands of students, just like YOU,  have completed our Fast Track CNA program. Hundreds of our previous students have advanced their education and are now working as Nurses and Physician Assistants. Our competitors may try to copy our programs but they cannot copy our credentials. Florida Training Academy is owned and operated by a Masters-prepared Nurse Educator.

FDLE Live Scan Background Screening for CNAs can be done at the end of your CNA class -or- you can contact our office to schedule a fingerprinting session. 

Note: The cost of the State examination is an additional fee of $155. Additionally, the required Level II background screening is an additional $87.50. These fees total $242.50 and are paid separately. Students can pay for their CNA Exam Prep Class first and then pay for their state examination and background screening at a later date.

Weekend Classes are Saturday and Sunday only for one weekend.

NOTE: Our weekend CNA Exam Preparation classes are only offered twice per month. Please register early! There are only 6 seats available per class. 

** THIS IS AN ACCELERATED COURSE. THIS CLASS IS NOT DESIGNED FOR ALL LEARNERS. **

Our accelerated class is best for students with personal care experience (ex: family members); those who have worked in other roles within the healthcare field (HHA or MA); nursing/medical students; and/or those who have family members who currently work in healthcare settings who can serve as a mentor. Students who enroll in our class must be committed to learning at least 10 skills per day and agree to complete a homework assignment during the 2-day class.

We are serious about educating future Certified Nursing Assistants (CNAs). We can teach skills but we cannot teach character or emotional maturity. Working as a CNA requires a level of compassion, integrity and emotional intelligence.  Therefore, we hold our students to a higher standard. We will have fun, but we must also be respectful of the time constraints needed to complete an accelerated class in 2 days. Also, we teach skills with an emphasis on compassionate care. As such, students who are unable or unwilling to act in accordance with our guidelines may be dismissed without a refund.

Learners who need more time should register for our  3 or 5-day CNA Exam Prep Courses.  We will not slow our classes and/or focus too much time on "1" student. Doing so is unfair to our Fast Track CNA students, who do not want to see simple skills repeated multiple times. Thank you for understanding and agreeing to our policies before registering for our accelerated Weekend CNA Exam Prep Class.

Mandatory Requirements:

1. You must be 18 years of age
2. You must speak English (we do not allow translators in our classes). PLEASE do not register non-English speaking family members until they have completed the FREE English as a second language course. Call us for details.
3. Be able to follow directions and work with a team of CNA students.
4. If you are physically unable to perform skills or are under a doctor's care, do not register for class until you have received medical clearance from your physician.

It is Florida Training Academy's honor to provide free "Compression-Only" CPR training!!

The "hands-only" CPR class is a knowledge only class which does not result in a certification. However, participants will learn how to recognize a medical emergency, activate 9-1-1-, learn how to work as a team, use an AED, and perform chest compressions. The demonstrations are completed at our office, upon request.

If you are the director of a summer camp or school and would like to schedule a 1-hour class at your camp or school, please email emathis@fltraining.com or visit www.FLtraining.com.
