I would like to know who teaches the classes and if you are you accredited by the state?

Question

I am interested in registering for the CNA program at your facility. I have two questions:

1. Who is certified to teach your CNA courses? It is my understanding that only registered nurses (RN) are qualified to teach CNA courses. I would like to know, who teaches CNA programs. Is it an RN?

2. Accreditation by the state: are you accredited for the CNA program? And what does your accreditation require of you in terms of qualified instructor? Do they have be an RN? I am just curious because I would like to learn it from a qualified instructor, and not for example an LVN.

Thank you in advance for your response.
