Becoming a CNA in Georgia
Becoming a CNA in Georgia is one of the more accessible pathways in the Southeast. The state requires 85 hours of training — just 10 hours above the federal floor — which means most full-time programs can be completed in 4 to 6 weeks. Georgia's Technical College System runs the largest network of approved training programs, typically at modest tuition rates and often with HOPE Career Grant funding available for state residents in healthcare pathways. Several long-term care facility chains in metro Atlanta, Savannah, Columbus, and Augusta also sponsor CNA training in exchange for a 6 to 12 month work commitment.
