You cannot enroll in a Skilled CNA course until you receive your nursing assistant certification and work as a CNA for a minimum of one year.  Since skilled CNA programs are only offered at licensed nursing homes and long-term care facilities, you will need to work in one of these locations to qualify for enrollment in a skilled training program.  You will attend a program offered at your current place of employment.  Upon completion of this course, you will need to take a Skilled CNA certification test.  It is inexpensive to receive your advanced training and to take the competency exam.
