If you’ve been thinking about a new career in healthcare, the biggest question on your mind might be: “How long does it take to become a CNA?” At most schools, it can take months. But at Xcellerated Nurse Aide Training, we believe in getting you certified, fast.

Here’s the truth:

You don’t need to wait 6 months or a full semester to start working in healthcare.

Our CNA program is just:

  • 13 days (day program)
  • 15 evenings (evening program)

That’s under 3 weeks to change your life.

Why We’re Faster (and Better)

No fluff: We skip the unnecessary filler and focus only on what you need to pass the state exam.

  • Hands-on learning: You’ll learn skills you actually use on the job — not just theory.
  • Supportive instructors: We walk with you from your first day all the way to certification.

And don’t worry — fast doesn’t mean rushed. You’ll be ready to care for patients with confidence.

Who This Program is Perfect For

  • Recent high school grads who don’t want to wait to get started
  • Parents who need an evening option that fits their family schedule
  • Career changers tired of long, expensive programs

What Happens After 13 Days?

You’ll complete classroom instruction, hands-on skills, and clinical training. Then we help you register for the Texas CNA state exam.

After that? You’re ready to work in:

  • Nursing homes
  • Assisted living centers
  • Home health agencies
  • Hospitals and more
