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.
Our directory lists 7 state-approved Certified Nurse Aide training programs in Savannah, GA. All programs must meet Georgia's minimum of 85 hours and prepare graduates to sit for the Prometric competency exam.
Savannah Technical College offers the shortest published program in Savannah at 7.5 weeks. Georgia requires 85 hours of state-approved training, so any accelerated program must compress the required hours into a shorter calendar window through full-time scheduling. Call (912) 443-5700 for current cohort start dates.
To work as a CNA in Savannah, you must meet a Georgia-approved training program of at least 85 hours, pass the Prometric competency exam (Two-part exam: a written (or oral) knowledge test plus a hands-on skills evaluation. Search results are returned on the registry by SSN (last 4 digits), name, or certificate number.), and clear a Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI) criminal background check plus fingerprint-based federal FBI clearance. Most candidates complete the full process in 5–10 weeks (training 4–6 weeks, exam and registry 2–4 weeks).
No Savannah program on our directory currently advertises free tuition, but many Georgia nursing facilities pay for CNA training in exchange for a work commitment after certification. Ask local long-term care employers about employer-sponsored training programs, and check the American Red Cross and Job Corps for additional pathways.
