CNA Schools in Southeast Texas - Texas Region 5

Not everyone needs to complete a CNA training class in Texas in order to become certified as a nurse aide. Some individuals are allowed to challenge the CNA exam only and thus obtain certification. Do you qualify? If you can answer yes to one of the following four scenarios then you are able to take the nursing assistant exam and skip the training classes. Have you completed a nursing assistant training class in a state other than Texas? Can you show proof of one hundred (100) hours of CNA training while in military service?

Do you have college transcripts that show you have completed a licensed vocational nurse or registered nurse program even though you are not licensed in Texas? Are you currently enrolled in an approved nursing school program and competent to provide basic client care? Individuals who meet one of these criteria and wish to sit for the nurse aide certification exam in Texas are qualified to do so without pursuing a CNA course. The Texas Department of Aging and Disability Services considers the above mentioned training as the equivalent training received in a nurse aide class and encourages all interested individuals to schedule an exam at their convenience.

CNA Training Requirements

There is a wide disparity between CNA training requirements among the states. The difference lies in the mandatory number of total training hours necessary to complete state-approved CNA classes.


While according to federal law each nursing assistant course should contain a minimum of seventy-five (75) instruction and clinical hours, individual states have the liberty to mandate extra training requirements for certified nursing assistants. The majority of states exceed the threshold federal minimum requirements for nurse aide training programs because they are considered insufficient to result in an optimal and safe level of care for clients.


A review of nationwide state requirements for nurse assistant courses has found that the following states have mandated highest number of CNA program hours: Maine with a minimum of 90 hours of theory, 20 hours of laboratory skills and 70 hours of clinical instruction for a total of 180 hours; California with one hundred and sixty (160) training hours; Delaware and Oregon each requiring one hundred and fifty (150) hours; followed by the state of Alaska with one hundred and forty (140) hours; Virginia, Arizona, and West Virginia have a minimum of one hundred and twenty (120) training hours for state-approved classes.
