Georgia State CNA Requirements and Approved CNA Programs

The management of Georgia’s Nurse Aide Training, Competency Evaluation and Nurse Aide Registry falls under the purview of the Department of Community Health (DCH). However, Alliant GMCF manages the administration of the Registry, Testing and Training Programs through a contract with DCH.

Certification Requirements

There are several nurse aide programs located across the state of Georgia. Most programs meet the requirements set forth by the Georgia Medical Care Foundation (GMCF). In order to work as a CNA, you must complete a state-accredited program and obtain a listing on the nurse aide registry after passing the state competency evaluation.

One exception to the rule listed above occurs when a nursing home offers employment. Nurse aides can work with the home for a period of four months while making provisions to take the state evaluation. During the 4-month period, student nurse aides can only perform the tasks they’ve been trained to do – to the satisfaction of the program instructor.

Prerequisites to Training

Nursing homes and personal care homes must, by law, conduct a criminal background check on all prospective employees. Other facilities may conduct checks at their discretion. With that in mind, most training providers include a mandatory background check as a condition of enrollment. Other prerequisites to training include:

  • You must be at least 16 years old
  • You must demonstrate the ability to read and write English
  • You do not need a high school diploma

Georgia’s Certified Nurse Aide Training Requirements

Georgia-approved nurse aide training must consist of a minimum of 85 hours of training. The training curriculum should cover classroom, labs, and clinical rotation within the prescribed 85 hours. Twenty-four hours of supervised clinical training must take place at a nursing home. Students must earn 100 percent rating in the lab rotation before advancing to the clinical externship. A licensed LPN or RN must supervise students for the entire clinical experience.

Training programs are available through nursing homes, technical schools, vocational institutions, home healthcare agencies, high schools, colleges, and free-standing private facilities. Visit the Georgia Web portal or check the list below to find a list of approved programs in your area. The department has the right to refuse your application for testing if you do not graduate from a state-accredited program.

Cost of Training

CNA training programs in Georgia can take as little as a four weeks, and costs range from $500 to $1500. Most schools quote rates for tuition only and leave the cost of textbooks, uniform, supplies, and state exam fee up to the students. Financial aid is rare, but there may be funding opportunities available through several state programs for people who are financially challenged.

Nurse Aide Testing

Pearson Vue is the governing body that administers the National Nurse Aide Assessment Program. Effective July 1, 2104, the new cost for the exam is $112. Only graduates of an approved training program are eligible to take the exam. The state’s CNA competency test comprises of two parts: a written (or oral) and a skills component. The written exam contains 70 multiple choice questions while the oral exam consists of 60 multiple choice questions and 10 multiple choice comprehension questions. For the skills exam, an administrator evaluates your ability to execute five randomly selected skills.

Once you pass the exam, you’ll be automatically added to Georgia’s Nurse Aide Registry. The license must remain in active status to maintain eligibility to work as a certified nurse aide. Make sure to renew the license every two years – as long as you’ve worked a minimum of eight hours as a CNA and obtained 12 hours of in-service education over the 24-month period

Application for Nurse Aide Testing in Georgia

Effective July 26, 2017, Georgia nursing assistant candidates who are eligible to test will be able to register online and schedule their exams.

Though the NNAAP exam is not electronic, the online registration and scheduling will eliminate the transit time for mailing a paper application, avoid delays caused by incomplete applications, and decrease the time it takes to schedule the test.

Fill on the required fields to create an ID and receive a password then follow the step-by-step instructions in the reservation process. Pay the examination fee using a credit card or prepaid card and make an online reservation at least 12 days prior to the test date.

The established fees for the NNAAP Exam in Georgia are as follows (all fees are non-refundable):

  • Written Exam and Skills Evaluation                         $112
  • Oral Exam (English) and Skills Evaluation             $112
  • Oral Exam (Spanish) and Skills Evaluation            $112
  • Written Exam only (retest)                                         $27
  • Oral Exam only English (retest)                                 $27
  • Oral Exam only Spanish (retest)                                $27
  • Skills Evaluation only (retest)                                    $85

CNA Reciprocity Georgia

You may apply for a listing on the Georgia Nurse Aide Registry by virtue of your certification in another state. Eligibility will be granted if you’re

  • Listed on another state’s Registry in active status and have no disciplinary actions on file
  • Free from charges of abuse, neglect, or misappropriation of resident/patient property recorded on another state’s registr

You must hold a valid social security card and have completed at least 8 paid hours of practice as a nursing assistant within the past two years.

To apply for Certification by Reciprocity complete the following steps:

  • Submit a completed Application for Nurse Aide Registry Listing by Reciprocity
  • Submit a legible copy of your social security card, government issued photo ID, and State Certification Card or printout from the web portal
  • Provide a copy of your Certified Nurse Aide Training Program completion certificate if you’re not listed on a Certified Nurse Aide Registry
  • Provide proof of employment – a letter from your employer in a company letterhead and listing your job duties, a paycheck stub, or a W-2 form.

The Registry will not mail out a certification card until you provide a Georgia address. You must print out verification status online at www.mmis.georgia.gov

Make sure to update your address with the Registry within 10 days of making the change.

CNA Renewal Georgia

Once you’ve completed the requirements for certification, your name will be added to the Georgia Nurse Aide Registry for two years. Before your certification expires, you’ll need to fill out a renewal form and provide proof of at least 8 hours of paid work within the past two years to renew your listing. Federal law requires that the hours be completed under the supervision of a registered nurse.

If you did not complete the minimum required hours, you must retest to remain on the Georgia Nurse Aide Registry. If you wait three or more years before renewing your certification, you must take another state-approved nursing assistant program. You will not be eligible to work as a Certified Nurse Aide at a Medicaid licensed facility if do not submit the renewal application and required documents.

The Registry will mail out the renewal forms at least 60 days before the certification expires. The form will be sent to your last known address, so it is vital that you maintain up-to-date information at the Registry.

Steps for renewing your CNA certification in Georgia:

  • Submit a completed Application for Renewal as a Nurse Aide form
  • Complete Section A of the application and have your employer sign the form if you’re currently working as a nurse aide.
  • Submit a copy of your pay stub or W-2 Form to verify your employment

Private Duty CNA Renewal Requirements:

  • Provide proof of income if you are currently working or have worked private duty. All private duty hours for consideration must have been completed under the supervision of a Licensed Practical Nurse or Registered Nurse
  • Provide a notarized statement from your employer with a detailed outline of your job duties and timeframe worked. The statement must include the signature and license number of the supervising LPN or RN
  • Attach a copy of your check stub or W-2 as verification of employment – failure to provide this information will delay processing of your recertification

Once you’re completed the requirements for renewal, the Registry will issue a new certification card with the new expiration date.

Renewal is also a good time to update your name and address at the Registry if there were changes. Fill out the Change of Name or Personal Information Form and submit to the Registry.
