Becoming a CNA in Delaware
Becoming a CNA in Delaware is one of the more streamlined pathways on the East Coast — the state sticks with the federal 75-hour training minimum rather than imposing a state-specific addition, so full-time candidates can typically complete their program in 4 to 6 weeks. Delaware Technical Community College runs the largest network of approved training programs, often at modest tuition rates for state residents, and the American Red Cross operates additional programs in the Wilmington area. Several long-term care facilities also sponsor CNA training in exchange for a post-certification work commitment.
