I had a great experience at Winder CNA. The instructors were made the material easy to understand. I felt well prepared and would definitely recommend the program to anyone pursuing their CNA certification.

Excellent teacher. Disappointed by classmates—way too much chatting and failing to listen to the informative material being taught by a knowledgeable expert.

My experience has been great. All the staff are really kind, and they put in extra effort to make sure I was funded when I had issues with the GRVA. They also accommodated me when I experienced a passing in my family. I couldn’t recommend Winder CNA enough!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I can’t say enough good things about Winder CNA! I took the phlebotomy course, and it was such a great experience from start to finish. Maddie is honestly one of the best instructors I’ve ever had. You can tell she truly loves what she does, and her passion for teaching shows every single day. She was always patient, encouraging, and made sure everyone understood before moving on. She made me feel confident going into my certification exam, and I’m so grateful I had her as my instructor. I also have to mention Riley! She was always so friendly and helpful whenever I had questions or needed anything. She really goes out of her way to make sure everything runs smoothly. If you’re thinking about taking a phlebotomy course, I would absolutely recommend Winder CNA. The people there genuinely care about their students and want to see you succeed. I’m so thankful I chose this school!

I just completed the July CMA course. The instructor, Crista, was beyond amazing! Very engaging and she explained everything in a way that was easy to understand and remember. I definitely recommend choosing Winder CNA Training for your Medication Aide certification!
