Certified Nurse Assistant Training

Certified Nurse Assistants (CNAs) provide patient-focused services in skilled nursing facilities or nursing homes. If you are interested in Nursing or Allied Health, this might be the profession that will make your career path flourish.

This training satisfies the Missouri Omnibus Nursing Act requirement, and students successfully completing the program are eligible to take the state examination.

The Certified Nurse Assistant program combines six weeks of intensive classroom instruction with three weeks of clinical practice. Classroom activities are held at the MET Center and the clinical practice takes place in a long-term care facility in the St. Louis area. Classes are 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Monday through Friday, and clinical experiences are 6:45 a.m. to 3:15 p.m. Monday through Friday.
