You might be looking for free cna training if you want to start a new career as a certified nursing assistant but do not have the extra money to pay for training. Most states offer a few different options to help individuals who want to start a new career but cannot afford training. The state of Michigan is no exception. You’ll find many free training opportunities below:
It is possible to receive free CNA training through the Red Cross training course in Michigan. The Red Cross training program is part of the No Worker Left Behind Act in Michigan. Individuals who are earning less than $40,000 can qualify for training. Training is offered in the Detroit Michigan Branch of the American Red Cross.
There are community colleges and technical schools that offer certified nursing assistant training in Michigan. You should contact local colleges in your area to determine if any have cna programs. If they do, you will want to contact the financial aid office to determine if you can qualify for any grants or other financial assistance for the training program. If you receive enough financial aid to cover tuition and all other related costs, you will be receiving free cna training.
Some nursing assistant training programs offer scholarships to students. Qualified nursing assistants are in a very high demand and therefore, training schools are constantly looking for motivated individuals to train as CNAs. In order to make it easier for people to receive training as certified nursing assistants, many programs offer scholarships. If you qualify for a scholarship that covers all costs associated with your training and certification, you will have found free cna training.
If you are currently unemployed, check with the unemployment offices and job placement programs to determine if you can receive assistance to train as a cna. You might qualify for a program that would provide you with the money you need to cover tuition to become a nursing assistant. If you take the time to look around, you will be able to find free cna training programs to get on the path to a new career.

I was looking for a consolidated list of agencies that provide CNA program in Detroit, MI.. You provided it to me. Now I can call for a possible one that will suit my schedule for the CNA certificate. I called one but their tuition is a little too much for me. I can shop around. Thank you.Joy
cheers Joy I hope you become a CNA soon
This is cool!
I was certified at East Jordan, Michigan’s Grandvue Medical Care Facility (Charlevoix county nursing home) in 1992 but have let the cert lapse. Grandvue provided CNA training for free-even paid a small stipend or whatever they called it at the time. Now they charge close to $400 for CENA training. Yikes!
I currently work privately in home care (and own a home based bakery 0=;) ) I also have a BA in Human Services-1980.
Anyway, I’m curious about re-certifying. Unfortunately the closest site on your list that offers “free” training is at Birchwood (Tendercare) in Traverse City-about 50 mile south of me, and with winter coming on I’d rather stay a little closer to home. There are other Tendercare facilities closer to me -Gaylord for example.
Do you know of anyway to re-cert without attending a lot of classes or traveling? I’m also not clear on what the difference is between CNAs and CENAs. Equivalency?
Thanks for any help or suggestions you might offer-Allison
This was soo helpful thank you soo much..
Hi I was wondering if anyone knew of an actual place that will pay for the cna training ? I have tried a few places red cross, michigan works, etc and no luck yet. I’m sure there is some place that will help so if anyone know a place that would be very helpful. Thank you
