Starting a CNA School in Illinois

  • Starting a CNA School in Illinois can be quite an undertaking. A successful program will need:

Does my CNA School need to be accredited?

Accreditation is not required. IDPH is responsible for ensuring the quality and content of your CNA Program. You could seek institution level accreditation. This is not a requirement for operation, but lends credibility to your school. It is important to consider costs and benefits, when considering seeking accreditation.
