Training to become a CNA in Indiana requires you to attend a state approved training program.  These programs provide you with the knowledge you need to provide basic nursing care and personal care duties.  It is not mandatory to have a high school diploma in order to train to work as a certified nursing assistant. See free training options below:

Nursing assistant training is offered in many high schools that provide career training programs.  If you are attending a public school, you can train to become a certified nursing assistant for free in this way.  You will be ready to start your new career once you graduate high school.

Some career training colleges also offer certified nursing assistant training courses.  These courses are typically inexpensive and can prepare you well for your new career.  In some cases, the programs through career schools will make you eligible for grants and scholarships offered by the state of Indiana.  You might find that you are able to access enough grants and scholarships to cover any costs associated with training.

Of course, nursing assistant training is available at many nursing care facilities as well.  You will usually agree to work for a facility for 6 months to a year if they will pay for your training.  Many of these nursing care and healthcare providers offer training directly on-site so that you can complete both your classroom and clinical training with ease.

If you are a displaced homemaker (having lost income through a spouses death, a divorce or a spouses disability), you might be able to receive funding to train for a career.  You could inquire as to whether or not you could receive help to pay for a state approved CNA training course.  Displaced workers, who have been laid off as a result of downsizing or the closing of a business, often qualify for assistance with training for a new career as well.
