LPN programs in Georgia
24 LPN (licensed practical nurse) programs with costs, results and funding that can make them free
23 schools offer these practical nursing programs, and Georgia has approved every one for workforce funding. Each shows its price if you pay yourself and how past students did.
Licensed practical and vocational nurses (LPNs and LVNs) give basic medical care to patients who are ill, injured or recovering. Most finish a state-approved certificate or diploma program that takes about a year, then pass an exam to become licensed.1 The exam is the NCLEX-PN from the National Council of State Boards of Nursing, which the nursing boards of every state, DC and four US territories use in deciding who gets a license.2
In Georgia, 19 of the 24 programs ask for a high school diploma or equivalent and 5 ask for earlier courses first.
All 24 are the same kind of program: practical nursing (LPN).

$5,863 to $8,165 is what most LPN programs in Georgia cost if you pay yourself
That is the middle half of the 24 programs with a price. All of them: $1,500 to $31,557

How to pay for LPN programs in Georgia
WIOA funding can pay for LPN programs in Georgia
Every program on this page is approved for it. Whether you qualify, how much your local area pays and how to apply are on our page Does WIOA pay for job training?
Financial aid and grants for LPN programs

Where the Georgia practical nursing program numbers come from
Which Georgia practical nursing programs are on this list?
These are the practical nursing programs Georgia 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 Georgia offers.
How the prices and results of Georgia practical nursing 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.
