For those who are curious about our hybrid CNA course in Salt Lake Valley, we’ve put together this helpful FAQ to guide you every step of the way — from getting started to certification and beyond.
Getting Started: What You Need to Know
What does a CNA do?
A Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) provides hands-on daily care like dressing, eating, walking, and bathing. CNAs also take vital signs and support nurses, making this role a great first step into healthcare.
Do I need healthcare experience?
Nope. We teach you all the skills you need and give you plenty of practice before clinicals.
Do I have to be 18?
No, you can enroll starting at age 16.
I’m thinking about nursing school — can I take this class?
Definitely! CNA training is valuable experience, and many nursing schools require or prefer CNA certification. Check with your nursing program to confirm.
How the Class Works
Is the class online or in person?
Both. You’ll complete 50 hours of online coursework at your own pace, then attend three in-person class days and three clinical days to practice skills and care for real residents. You can start online as soon as you enroll.
What happens during class days?
Expect hands-on learning with instructors and classmates — demonstrations, skill practice, and plenty of feedback. It’s active and engaging, so come ready to participate.

Clinicals are supervised training days at local care facilities. You’ll care for residents with a ccCNA instructor present. Clinical dates are chosen during your class days.
Can I set up my own clinicals?
No, ccCNA coordinates all clinicals to ensure proper supervision and documentation.
What if I miss Clinical?
