Can u become a certified nursing assistant by just working?

Just got a job as a nursing assistant in an assisted living facility..just wondering if instead of taking a class and since I'm already doing the work that is involved with it if I can sit for the exam to become certified just by having work experience? I'm going to be doing pretty much everything a nursing assistant that is certified would do....just curous anybody know??
Answer:

Hello ! Alot of places use to hire and train for cna's. But now I believe you have to be certified. Im a cna and the course isn't that long and well worth the training and credibility. Depending on where your from , maybe mite differ from state to state. Im from kansas and you have to be certified. Good luck!!

In the UK you need your certificate

You can't get certified just because you have a caregiving job. You may still have to take the class, and you will definitely have to take the state board exam. ask your employer if they offer training classes where you work, if not, you will have to enroll in a class.
