Steve, not really. The free training from the Caroline center was/is for women only. You can get free training from nursing homes as well but that’s getting a lot harder these days since it is costly even for the nursing homes to get people trained. I would suggest trying out nursing homes which have active CNA vacancies. If that doesn’t work out you could try a low cost training program. There are a ton of vocational centers in Maryland that offer training so you’re bound to find one which is in the $500 to $700 range.

You should still be able to get a license with a criminal record. There may be obvious exceptions for people with severe, violent and abusive criminal records. Those would be handled on a case by case basis.
Finding a job after you’re certified depends on the state and criminal offense, drug offenses are typically more frowned upon and if you have any history of client abuse or have been convicted for mistreatment it will likely affect your getting hired. If you have a criminal record you can expect to experience more hassle when finding a job, especially in California.

Hi Dana,
These two and probably the Job corps are the only centers offering free CNA training directly.

Hi Jazzmine,
I’ve done alot of research and can’t find the program you’re referring to. Did you check out our dedicated page for Free CNA training in the Chicago, Il area?

Hi Tiffany,
Its simple. You locate a nursing home near you that has vacancies. Most nursing homes will agree to pay for your CNA training if you’re willing to commit to them for around a year or so.
