About This Program
Located on Main Street in downtown Hartford, CT State Capital (formerly Capital Community College) offers a Connecticut DPH-approved Nurse Aide Certificate that was the first CNA program in Connecticut to be awarded transferable college credits. The 100-hour curriculum splits 70 hours of classroom/lab instruction with 30 hours of supervised clinical experience at a local skilled nursing facility, and graduates earn 3 credits from Capital plus 4 transferable credits from Charter Oak State College. The Prometric state competency exam is offered on campus, and successful candidates earn placement on the Connecticut Nurse Aide Registry. Day, evening, and weekend cohorts run year-round with WIOA, SNAP, and scholarship funding available.

Becoming a CNA in Connecticut
Connecticut's CNA pathway is administered entirely by the Connecticut Department of Public Health (DPH) through its Practitioner Licensing and Investigations Section. DPH approves all 100-hour Nurse Aide Training Programs, contracts with Prometric to deliver both the written and skills competency exams, and maintains the public Connecticut Nurse Aide Registry. The 100-hour training minimum places Connecticut among the higher-hour states in the Northeast — 25 hours above the federal floor and a meaningful step above neighbors like New York and Rhode Island.
