About Florida CNA Online
Florida CNA Online has helped Floridians earn their CNA license since 2008. We were one of the first fully online CNA prep courses on the internet, and more than 4,000 paid students have used our program to prepare for Florida's CNA state exam. Our course prepares adults to challenge the CNA exam in Florida through the state's E3 Challenger pathway, take the same Prometric exam as every classroom graduate, and earn the same license.
Who is behind Florida CNA Online?
Florida CNA Online started in 2008 as one of the first fully online CNA prep courses in Florida. It was built as the alternative to local classroom programs charging $1,500 to $3,000 for fixed class times that working adults simply could not attend: a course that is affordable, self paced, and available 24/7 from a phone, tablet, or computer.
Jaime, our owner, took over the business in 2020, and he came to it with a personal connection to the work. His mom was a pediatrician who spent her career taking care of other people. In 2018 she had a stroke, and the roles reversed: CNAs became the most important part of her daily life, helping her eat, get dressed, and maintain her dignity. Seeing firsthand how much CNAs matter is why he runs this course today. CNAs are heroes in his eyes.
We are a small team distributed across Florida, and that is deliberate. Every support email goes through Jaime or a real person on our team, not a chatbot or a ticket queue. We answer in English and Spanish, same day, seven days a week, and we get on three-way calls with Prometric or your fingerprinting vendor when a student gets stuck.
Who developed the course videos?
Every clinical skill video in our course was developed and demonstrated by Magalys Herrera.
Magalys trained in nursing long before she ever picked up a camera. She earned her Licentiate in Nursing (Licenciada en Enfermería) from the University of Medical Sciences of Villa Clara in Cuba in 1995, a degree formally evaluated by Josef Silny & Associates, International Education Consultants, as the equivalent of a U.S. Bachelor of Science in Nursing. Before coming to the United States, she worked as a head of nursing pedagogy, leading the training of nursing students and instructors. In other words, she spent her earlier career teaching people how to nurse.
She has also stood exactly where our students stand, because she was one of them. Magalys started as a student of this course, preparing with an earlier version of our videos. She challenged the CNA exam through Florida's E3 pathway, the same route we teach, passed, and earned her Florida CNA license (number CNA459742, issued 2024) with a clean record. Then she came back and helped us rebuild every video in the course, combining her nursing background with what she learned sitting on the candidate's side of the Prometric exam room.
That background shows in our videos: each of the 20 clinical skills on Florida's Prometric skills list is demonstrated step by step, in the exact order evaluators expect, including what to say out loud during the exam.
What does the Florida CNA Online course include?
The full course is 35 modules covering everything on the Prometric written exam and clinical skills test: infection control, fire safety, positioning, range of motion exercises, vital signs, resident rights, and emergency situations, all in plain language. It includes practice tests built in the same format as the real exam, a step-by-step walkthrough of the Prometric application and fingerprinting process, and a course completion certificate when you finish. The entire course is available in English and Spanish with the same purchase, and access is lifetime, for a one-time payment of $199.
One thing we are careful about: our certificate confirms you completed the course. Your CNA license comes from the Florida Board of Nursing after you pass the state exam, and that license is the only credential that authorizes you to work as a CNA. If you want to see the whole path from start to finish, our guide on how to become a CNA in Florida walks through every step.
How do we keep our information accurate?
CNA licensing rules, exam fees, and state forms change, and outdated advice costs students real money. So we hold ourselves to a simple process:
- We verify facts against primary sources before publishing: the Florida Board of Nursing, the Prometric Florida CNA program, and the Florida Statutes.
- We update the course after every Prometric exam update, state form change, and clinical skill revision. We have been tracking those changes since 2008.
- We answer thousands of student support emails a year, and what students actually get stuck on feeds directly back into the course and into guides like our CNA exam and job information page.
