Why choose Gatorcna
GatorCNA is dedicated to our students passing the Florida State Nursing Assistant exam. This prep class is a fast-paced prep class designed to train people to take the state certification exam.

We offer additional training opportunities should you want to practice skills before your scheduled test date. We are here to help.
challenging state exam
No previous experience is required to take the state exam. You are allowed to challenge the state exam without ever stepping into a classroom. CNA Prep Course at GatorCNA is designed to tutor students who believe that they can pass the exam without traditional training. If you fail one portion of the test three times within a two-year period, you will have to do a state-approved training program that is at least 120 hours long. You will then need to take both the written and clinical tests again.
