CNA Training in Mesa, AZ

Becoming a CNA in Arizona is more time-intensive than in most states because Arizona requires 120 hours of training — 45 hours above the federal minimum of 75. Under Arizona Administrative Code R4-19-802, that 120-hour curriculum must include at least 40 hours of classroom instruction, 20 hours of supervised skills laboratory practice, 40 hours of supervised clinical experience (with at least 20 of those clinical hours providing direct resident care in a long-term care facility licensed by the Arizona Department of Health Services), plus 20 additional program-allocated hours. Most full-time programs take 6 to 10 weeks.
