Becoming a CNA in Pennsylvania
Becoming a CNA in Pennsylvania is a slightly longer-than-federal-minimum pathway: the state requires 80 hours of training rather than the 75-hour federal floor, split into 37.5 hours of classroom instruction and 37.5 hours of supervised clinical experience. Most full-time programs at community colleges and career schools run 4 to 6 weeks. Pennsylvania's Community College system — including Community College of Philadelphia, HACC in Harrisburg, and Pittsburgh-area programs — runs the largest network of approved training, typically priced $400 to $1,200 for residents.
