In short, it’s possible. Now lets dive in to the specifics.

What does it mean to challenge the CNA test?

To challenge the CNA test means that you have not taken a CNA class, but feel you have the knowledge and skills to be able to pass the state exam. You could have also taken a similar health class a long time ago and feel you still have the neccessary knowledge to be able to pass the state test.

Who can challenge the state test?

If you reside in Florida, Iowa, North Carolina, North Dakota, and Tennessee, you have the opportunity to challenge the state test without taking a CNA training program. You will need to contact your state board to see the exact process to sign up for your test as they are all slightly different, but the process is fairly simple. Some just require you to sign up and pay the testing fee.
