Free CNA training in Illinois
The SIU-C Illinois Nurse Aide Testing: State approved CNA training programs (as of 2026-04-17) does not mark facility programs; 22 of its 396 sponsors match a Medicare or Medicaid certified nursing home.
Federal rules say a nursing home that employs you, or has offered you a job, when your training starts cannot charge you for state-approved nurse aide training or its textbooks (42 CFR 483.152(c)). If you pay and are hired by a nursing home within 12 months, your state must provide for paying part of it back.
