Prometric CNA Certification: Your Path to State-Approved Certification

A nurse aid plays an important role in the health-care continuum. Each state has different requirements of the Certified Nurse Aid (CNA) course to qualify for state certification. Prometric is the standard testing company for most states.

Complete State-Approved Program

• Prior to being eligible to test for nurse-aid certification you must finish a state-approved nurse-aid course. In the state of Texas the minimum requirements are 51 classroom hours and 24 clinical hands-on hours with specific skills trained during those hours.

Applying for Testing

• After completion of state-approved curriculum you will be eligible to test. A testing fee and proof of completion of course is required when applying for testing. To apply for testing contact Prometric Testing at prometric.com. The test consists of a written portion and a hands-on skills portion; you must pass both to be successfully certified as a nurse aid.

Testing Day

• Prior to testing you should receive a handbook that contains the testable skills and a sample written test from Prometric. Study these materials in advance of the test.
