Registration Process

• For exams at test center locations, make an online reservation using a laptop or computer. Using your phone or a tablet is not recommended. You need to make your reservation at least ten (10) calendar days before the test date.
• For Written or Oral Online exams, you can schedule an exam as early as one day following registration, depending on exam availability.
• Complete your online application on the Credentia Platform, but you can ask someone from your nurse aide training program or facility employer for help in completing the application.

Withdraw Application Process

If you are not ready to test, you may choose to withdraw your application at any time during your eligibility period. Withdrawing your application temporarily removes it from active testing but does not cancel your eligibility. You may reinstate your application at any time during your original eligibility period and resume scheduling your examination without submitting a new application or obtaining additional approval from your training program. You may withdraw and reinstate your application as often as needed, provided your eligibility period has not expired.
