CNA exam prep for the written and skills tests
The CNA exam has two parts: a written (or oral) knowledge test and a hands-on skills evaluation where you perform several nurse aide skills in front of an evaluator. We prepare you for both, using the skills list your state testing vendor publishes.

Questions students ask
Still unsure? Open the chat and ask an editor directly.
Is the CNA exam the same in every state?
No. Many states use a national nurse aide exam; others use a state-specific vendor. Choose your state on the order form and we use its skills list.
Can you help me practice the skills part online?
Yes. Your tutor walks you through each skill step by step over video, including the critical steps evaluators watch for.
