Course Detail: W-HC-CNAWRITTEN - Certified Nursing Assistant - Written Test

Certified Nursing Assistant Written Testing occurs after passing the skills testing and should be completed within twelve (12) months from the completion date of the CNA course.  

Students completing Certified Nursing Assistant coursework at The College of Eastern Idaho have the first attempt for CNA Written Testing included with tuition.  Any additional attempts for successful completion of the State of Idaho mandatory CNA written test will be charged to the student at the CEI Testing Center.

Charge for written exam: $21 proctoring fee due at the time of registration and a $29 Prometric fee paid at the testing center.

Please note: On the Prometric testing application provided at the CEI Testing Center, enter the date you became eligible to take the skills exam as your course completion date - not necessarily your last day of class. Verify this date with your instructor prior to arriving at the CEI Testing Center. This will help avoid delays in processing your application.

Please call our office to make CNA Skills Testing arrangements and make payments as necessary.
