The need for CNAs is going to be of the utmost importance for decades to some. Both facilities and at-home care services need CNAs on staff who can provide the levels of care and attention to detail to improve the quality of life of people. Yet while there are many people with the desire to become CNAs and the passion to care for others, full-time classes may not be in the picture. In order to strike a balance between the needs of students and to fill roles in the field, long-term care facilities are supporting the need for more thorough and accessible online training courses for CNAs.

1. Flexible Coursework Gives Better Results

When CNA students have to juggle their own responsibilities and obligations with full-time coursework, concentration drops and stress levels rise. The combination means many potential CNAs give up on their passions because something has to give, and they prioritize real-life responsibilities over full-time coursework. Online CNA training allows students to create their own schedules so they can concentrate on lessons and come out of their classes with comprehensive training, without anxiety or distraction.

2. Better Oversight

Years back, online training courses were met with much skepticism, and rightfully so. Even some in-person CNA training courses turned out to be fly-by-night cash grabs, or simply didn’t offer the training required by facilities. As an industry, CNA training has had to grow with available technology, and that includes more oversight and auditing to verify the quality of education for CNAs. CNAonline works with AHCA to ensure the courses and materials prepare CNAs for current industry needs and to launch long-term careers.

3. Facilities Get Better CNAs

Flexible online learning and resources which can be accessed 24/7 means facilities will be able to confidently hire CNAs who are fully qualified for their roles and can provide the best care and assistance to those who need it. We go one step further by matching CNAs with facilities based on the needs of both parties to ensure productive and lasting professional relationships. CNAonline works with affiliates and partners to move the industry forward and fill gaps in the workforce with the best-trained CNAs.
