Free CNA Training in Florida

As Florida’s population continues to grow and many healthcare workers such as nurses age and retire (according to a 2017 Sun-Sentinal article about nursing shortages in the state), the demand is strong for certified nursing assistants (CNAs) to fill the need for providing medical care and long-term care. Florida is already one of the top states in the total number of CNAs employed, and the growth outlook for the occupation for the state is one of the highest in the nation: Florida is the third-ranked state in projected job growth through 2026 for CNAs.

In response to this need, Premier Nursing Academy is turning the traditional educational model—student pays for school, student interviews hopes to land a job post-graduation—on its head. We are working with top healthcare employers in Florida to provide 100% free training to CNA candidates who can then go on to even more opportunities in the healthcare field.

Locations in Florida

Premier Nursing Academy is excited to bring our high-quality, 100% free instruction model to candidates in Florida. Our first location in Florida is in the Tampa metro area (Pinellas Park). We look forward to launching additional locations to serve more of Florida’s candidate trainees and employers.

Premier Nursing Academy’s CNA instruction is offered in multiple schedule formats to accommodate students with different needs. Consult the page for your preferred campus to see upcoming class start dates and get to know the instructors in each location.

After graduates have completed our Florida Board of Nursing-approved course of instruction, they have the skills and are provisionally able to work for their matched employer even before passing the Nurse Aide Exam. Upon passing the exam and completing other background requirements for the state, you’ll be a fully licensed CNA in Florida.
