Delaware CNA Exam Prep: Requirements & Study Path
Supplemental CNA study for Delaware candidates on the Prometric pathway. Confirm Candidate Information Bulletin outline, skills checklists, application steps, and Division of Health Care Quality (DHCQ) registry contacts on official Prometric and DHSS pages.
How CNA testing works in Delaware
Typical vendor path: Prometric. MedCertPrep is independent exam prep, not a state registry. Use the official resources section for eligibility, fees, and skills wording.
- Delaware uses Prometric for the CNA Competency Exam (Clinical Skills Test plus Written or Oral Test). The Division of Health Care Quality (DHCQ) maintains the Delaware CNA Registry. Start with the Prometric Delaware Nurse Aide hub and the Delaware CIB before you apply.
- Written test (per Delaware CIB): typically 60 multiple-choice questions in about 90 minutes. The content outline is the Prometric Delaware outline in the Candidate Information Bulletin, not the Credentia 2024 NNAAP written outline.
- Clinical Skills Test: you are scored on five skills. While you perform three assigned skills, you are also scored on handwashing and Indirect Care. Timing commonly ranges about 31 to 40 minutes depending on the assigned skills. Use the official Prometric clinical skills checklist linked from Delaware candidate materials.
- You generally must pass both exam parts within three attempts and within 24 months of training completion. Confirm live attempt, absence, and registry rules in the Delaware CIB.
- For registry context, use the DHCQ CNA Registry page and the Prometric public Delaware registry search (registry.prometric.com/publicDE). Prometric also verifies status per Delaware hub materials.
- MedCertPrep is supplemental practice for overlapping nurse aide themes; it is not a Delaware-specific Prometric item bank.
Official Delaware CNA resources
Read these official pages first. We summarize what each covers and link out. We do not copy full skills checklists; scored steps belong on the vendor site. Fees, eligibility, skills wording, attempt rules, and handbook articles can change without notice. Always confirm the latest details on the official site before you register or rehearse. If a deep link does not open, start from the official homepage below and look up the current document there.

Study on MedCertPrep
Delaware written items follow the Prometric Delaware Candidate Information Bulletin outline (typically 60 questions). MedCertPrep practice is NNAAP-structured supplemental prep for overlapping nurse aide themes (ADLs, safety, infection control, rights, reporting). It is not a Delaware Prometric clone bank. Skills steps come only from the official Prometric checklist.

All CNA practice topicsSkills evaluation
Practice by nurse aide theme
These hubs use MedCertPrep's national CNA bank (organized in NNAAP-style domains). Themes overlap with Delaware written topics, but confirm domain weights and wording in the Delaware CIB.
Study guides
Skills steps always defer to your Delaware Prometric checklist and CIB. Start with the Delaware written mapping guide and skills guide, then use national method articles for rehearsal structure.
