Where I am here in PA the requirements aren't that much. You have to pass a physical, Pass a 2 step PPD (TB Test), no disqualifying offenses on your background check. Also the ability to pay for the class and test although this isn't much of a problem as many facilities offer the classes for free and will also pay for the test.

Good luck.

I'm in CA, and they require that you be at least 16 years old. I don't know if this is for all places, but you must take an assessment test (testing you on basic English and Math) that is two hours long. I checked out 2 different places where I live and both required that assessment test at least month prior to classes. And of course, TB test, vaccinations, etc.
