I’m pretty sure there is no difference. CNA stands for Certified Nursing Assistant. You need to sign up for a class at a school. It involves practice in the classroom and on-site training (you work at a clinic or hospital.) You need a certain number of hours of clinical training to be able to qualify for your CNA. Once you have completed clinical training you take a test, which is half written and the other half you have to perform 5 random skills (washing your hands, and four others, like brushing a patients teeth for example). If you pass, you can get a job anywhere like a nursing home or hospital.

    you will be a CNA after the classes and they send you to take the test. Look for local nursing homes that offer the class, dont pay for it at a college. Unless of course your in a state that doesnt offer that.
