CNA Training to Begin November 24

Edison State Community College will host Certified Nursing Assistant training beginning November 24, 2026. This comprehensive program combines hands-on classroom instruction with supervised clinical experience, led by experienced health care professionals. Students will develop essential CNA skills such as patient care, vital sign monitoring, infection control, communication, safety procedures, and assisting with daily living activities.

Training will run from November 24 to December 12, 2026, with sessions taking place at Edison State at Troy on the following days and times:

• November 24 and 27: 3-9 p.m.
• November 30-December 3: 3:30-9 p.m.
• December 4: 3-9 p.m.

Students will complete clinicals on December 5 and December 12 from 6:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. at Piqua Manor, located at 1840 High Street in Piqua.

The demand for CNAs is high locally and across the state, with immediate job opportunities at hospitals, assisted living facilities, rehabilitation centers, and home health care providers. Additionally, many nursing schools in Ohio require applicants to complete CNA training as a program prerequisite.

Students must meet certain requirements to participate in the sessions and clinical, including completing their two-step TB test before starting clinicals. The training costs $825, with payment required in full to secure a seat. Learn more and register by visiting www.edisonohio.edu/CNA.
