Becoming a CNA in Florida
Florida is unusual in giving you two distinct paths to becoming a CNA, and the choice matters more than most candidates realize. If you have any prior healthcare experience — medical assistant, home health aide, EMT, military medic, or internationally trained nurse — the challenge-exam pathway can put you on the registry in as little as 2 to 4 weeks for around $250 total. If you are starting from zero, a 120-hour training program is the lower-risk choice even though it is not legally required, because first-time challengers without healthcare experience have a much lower pass rate on the skills portion of the Prometric exam than program graduates.
Minimum Age
18
Training Hours

2–10 weeks depending on whether you challenge the exam directly or complete a training program first
