More details to this question:
When I was first hired I was told I would recieve all the training needed to work at the assisted living facility. When came time for training and certifications I was told I had to pay out of my pocket and I would not be reimberssed. Now all of a sudden they decided that every one needs to be CNA certified and only gave us a month to make that happen or you will get fired. I want to know is that fair and legal to me as an employee.

Unless you have a contract stating otherwise, the employer can set and change the standards of employment as they wish. This is the meaning of employment at will.
