I took the Certified Nursing Aide course and it was an amazing experience. Deanna, the instructor for most of my time there, was an animated instructor whose charisma made the experience very enjoyable and helped the classroom feel more comfortable. I was recommended WinderCNA and will honestly recommend it to more for its impact on me.

I had a great experience attending Winder CNA program. The instructors were knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely invested in helping students succeed. They made sure we understood both the skills and the reasoning behind them, not just memorizing steps for the exam. The hands-on training was thorough and really prepared me for real patient care in a clinical setting. The environment was supportive and encouraging, even when the material became challenging. I always felt comfortable asking questions and getting the help I needed. The program also did a great job preparing us for the state skills exam and written test, which helped me feel confident going into testing. Overall, I would highly recommend Winder CNA school to anyone looking to start a career in healthcare. It provided a strong foundation for my career and helped me feel ready to step into the field with confidence. Thank you to Abbey, Ms Christy, and all the other teachers they were awesome.

I took my CNA state skills at this location, the moment I walked through the door I was greeted by staff who was very informative about everything they offer at the location. Each room was very equipped with everything for classroom learning. I took my CNA skills exam for state. I passed and I was so impressed professionalism and was the pleasant staff and instructors I was so that I came back once more to take my CMA certified medication . I live over 60 miles away. The class was very informative. Then, instructor took time to answer questions and to teach everything needed to be a success in this program . Christy our instructor went far and beyond , to assure each student had an opportunity to ask questions along with providing each skill and knowledge in order to pass this class and have the confidence each student would need to perform their job at any facility.
