CNA exam prep in Portland, ME

Maine CNA training requirements

To work as a CNA in Portland, you'll need to complete a state-approved training program (federal minimum 75 hours, including 16 supervised practical hours; many states require more), pass your state's written (or oral) and clinical skills exams, and register with the Maine Nurse Aide Registry. The Maine requirements lists the exam provider and any training, fee, retake and renewal rules we could verify for the state.

The CNA exam for Portland CNAs

Every CNA candidate must pass a written (or oral) test and a skills demonstration. The NNAAP, run by Credentia, has a 70-item written test (10 items unscored) and a 5-skill evaluation, but not every state uses it and formats differ by state. The exam doesn't change by city: check the Maine candidate handbook for your exact format.
