CNA Test in Georgia

Nursing Assistant Questions and Answers

Where can I take the CNA certification test in Georgia, and how much does it cost?
The Georgia CNA competency exam is administered by Promissor. You have to schedule and then take the certification exam at one of their available regional locations. The CNA exam costs $107 if you choose to take the written and skills examinations, or $117 if you select the oral and skills examinations. The exam application may be found here: Application for Registration by Competency Examination. Make sure you print and then complete all the appropriate sections of the CNA exam application. You may ask the CNA course instructor or your employer to help you complete certain parts of this form. Copies of specific documents must be mailed with your application to test. Follow all the instructions at the bottom of the CNA exam application. You may also contact a NACES customer service representative at (866) 432-2865 if you need further assistance. To see a list of available testing locations you can follow this link: Georgia NNAAP Regional Test Sites and Test Schedules.

I am a CNA and I work in Tallahassee, Florida. I have been a CNA for about two years. I need to renew my CNA certification for Georgia, which has expired. Please help, I am trying to get a job in Georgia. What should I do?
A certified nursing assistant in Georgia must renew her certification every two years. To renew your certification you need to fill out and submit a renewal application. The CNA renewal application verifies that you provided a minimum of eight (8) hours of nurse aide related services for pay in the two years since your last renewal. I am not sure if the state of Georgia considers your work as a CNA in Florida acceptable for renewal of your certification. You need to call the Georgia nurse aide registry and explain your situation. The registry may be contacted at (678) 527-3010 or (800) 414-4358. If your work as a CNA in another state counts toward recertification requirements in Georgia, then you may request a CNA renewal application, complete and submit the forms, and become re-certified in Georgia. On the other hand, if the registry does not count your employment in Florida as valid for renewal of your CNA certification in Georgia, then your only option to re-certify is by retaking the Georgia nurse aide competency examination.
