Georgia CNA Exam Prep: Requirements & Study Path
Supplemental written exam prep aligned with the NNAAP content outline. Confirm training, skills checklists, and registry steps in your official Credentia Georgia handbook and Georgia Nurse Aide Registry materials.
How CNA testing works in Georgia
Typical vendor path: Credentia / NNAAP. MedCertPrep is independent exam prep, not a state registry. Use the official resources section for eligibility, fees, and skills wording.
- Georgia uses Credentia for the NNAAP written (or oral) exam and the skills evaluation. Start at the Credentia Georgia test-taker page and open the Candidate Handbook articles for scheduling, fees, and eligibility.
- Skills Evaluation: you typically demonstrate five skills in about 30 minutes. Hand hygiene is always included, and one of the four remaining skills is a measurement skill. Critical Element Steps in bold must be done correctly.
- If you fail either the written/oral exam or the skills evaluation three times, Credentia handbook rules require completing another training program and retaking both parts, not only the failed part. Confirm current attempt rules in your handbook.
- After you pass both parts, you are listed on the Georgia Nurse Aide Registry. Use the official registry search and Credentia renewal guidance to keep status current.
- MedCertPrep written practice follows the official NNAAP written blueprint. Skills performance is scored from the Georgia Skills Listing in the Credentia handbook, not from this app.
