CNA SKILLS QUICK REFERENCE & SCHEDULING GUIDE

The CNA Skills Training Schedule Guide is a practical quick-reference resource designed to help CNA instructors organize, sequence, and plan skills instruction with greater purpose and confidence.

This guide includes a clear overview of the 22 Prometric testable skills, along with structured training schedule examples for different CNA program formats, including 6-week, 12-week, 16-week, and school-year training programs. Each schedule organizes skills into categories such as foundation skills, mobility and positioning, elimination and personal care, hygiene and grooming, measurement and observation, nutrition and hydration, linen management, and rehabilitation/restorative skills.

Built around the Nurse JAR S-T-A-C-K Framework, this guide helps instructors think beyond simply “covering” skills. It supports intentional planning, repetition, skill integration, mock testing, remediation, and student confidence-building throughout the training cycle.

This resource is ideal for CNA instructors who want a stronger roadmap for teaching Prometric testable skills, organizing lab time, reinforcing difficult skills, and helping students prepare for skills exam success with clarity, structure, and purpose.
