CNA classes in New York
27 CNA (certified nursing assistant) programs with costs, results and funding that can make them free
22 schools offer these nursing assistant programs, and New York has approved every one for workforce funding. Each shows its price if you pay yourself and how past students did.
Nursing assistants give basic care and help patients with everyday tasks. To work as one, you usually finish a state-approved program and pass your state's competency exam, which puts you on the state registry.1 Federal rules require state-approved nurse aide programs for nursing homes to run at least 75 hours, including at least 16 hours of supervised hands-on practice. If a nursing home employs you or has offered you a job when you start, it can't charge you for the program.2
In New York, 23 of the 27 programs take students without a high school diploma and 4 ask for a diploma or equivalent.
All 27 are the same kind of program: nursing assistant (CNA).

Where the New York nursing assistant program numbers come from
Which New York nursing assistant programs are on this list?
These are the nursing assistant programs New York approved for WIOA funding (public workforce funding under the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act), as reported to the US Department of Labor for program year 2024 (July 2024 to June 2025). Each state keeps its approved programs on an eligible training provider list (ETPL).10 The list here covers programs approved as of June 30, 2025. Schools that never applied for approval are missing, so this is a part of what New York offers.
How the prices and results of New York nursing assistant programs are measured
Prices are tuition and required fees for someone paying without workforce funding, as the school reported them; check the current price with the school. Results describe students who left each program in recent years, so they are no guarantee, and the yearly earnings are the reported quarter times four, an estimate. A program without a "Trained with WIOA funding" line may still take WIOA students. Where a field was left empty or withheld, the page says "Not reported", and "Left out" where a figure was filed but failed one of our checks; nothing is estimated to fill a gap. Where the numbers come from explains each figure in full.
How reliable are the New York figures?
The US Department of Labor's own results site lists New York among the states with "known data quality concerns".11 The figures here are shown as the state reported them; check them with the school before you enroll.
