Become a Certified Nurse Aide.
Six weeks. Real skills. A job in healthcare waiting on the other side. Cadence's Indiana-approved CNA program gets you certified and ready to hire, without years of school or a pile of debt.
The fastest honest path into healthcare
A CNA certification is the front door to the entire healthcare field, and you can earn yours in about six weeks. You'll train in our classroom and simulation lab, then step into a real long-term care setting for hands-on clinicals. By the end, you'll be ready to pass the Indiana state written and skills exam and start working.
WHAT YOU'LL LEARN
Skills you'll actually use
- Personal care and support with daily living
- Taking vital signs and measurements
- Safe body mechanics, transfers, and safety
- Infection control
- Resident rights and dignity
And the professional skills that get you noticed and promoted: communication, accountability, critical thinking, and how to work as part of a care team.
How you'll learn it: hands-on skills practice, simulation, real case studies, and role-play. You learn by doing, not by sitting through slideshows.
Funding Options
Did you know?
Tuition is all-inclusive. One price covers your textbooks, scrubs, CPR certification, TB test, liability insurance, and your first state exam attempt. No surprise fees.
And under federal law (42 CFR § 483.152), if you're hired at a nursing home after paying for your CNA class, that facility is required to reimburse what you paid. We hand you the receipt and completion records to make claiming it simple.
You may also qualify for training grants through the Department of Workforce Development. Contact your local WorkOne office to check your eligibility.
