New CNA Testing Procedures for Georgia starting Jan 2022!

Attention CNA Instructors and CNA School owners: There will be some significant changes in Georgia regarding nurse aide testing starting in Jan 2022. Pearson Vue will no longer administer the nurse aide exam.

Credentia will now be the exam administrator for the NNAAP® exam in Georgia on behalf of Pearson VUE. This will bring about significant changes in how your CNA students will take their exams moving forward. These changes will include the following:

• Students will now be able to take the exam remotely online on their own computers. There will be security measures, and the exam will be proctored.
• There will be a nurse aide candidate support center dedicated to helping students
• A new nurse aide credentialing system called CNA365® will be used to monitor candidates and certified individuals.
• Schools will have access to customizable exam reports delivered electronically or access to customer reports on demand.
• Replacing the roster upload system with a new and improved verification system
• A new website dedicated to nurse aide credentialing on the Georgia website
• Online voucher store to create efficient and secure voucher management.

All current school information will be migrated from Pearson VUE to the new Credentia CNA365® system, which will cause a black-out period between 1/13/22 through 1/30/22. Please note there will be NO CNA student testing during this time, nor will you access students’ records.

Schools should also expect to attend training on the new system in early Jan 2022. Dates will be released soon by Credentia via the state’s website.
