CNA classes in the Northern Mariana Islands

1 CNA (certified nursing assistant) program with costs, results and funding that can make it free

One school offers this nursing assistant program, and the Northern Mariana Islands has approved it for workforce funding. It 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 the Northern Mariana Islands, the one program asks for a high school diploma or equivalent.

Where the Northern Mariana Islands nursing assistant program numbers come from

Which the Northern Mariana Islands nursing assistant programs are on this list?

These are the nursing assistant programs the Northern Mariana Islands 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 the Northern Mariana Islands offers.

How the prices and results of the Northern Mariana Islands 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.
