Registration and Scheduling

Guides candidates through registration and scheduling procedures for the NNAAP Examination in Rhode Island

Here’s how it works:

After finishing a Rhode Island state-approved training course, you can create an online account with Credentia’s Platform system. The Credentia Platform system makes online registration quick and easy, and much faster than mailing a paper application.

  • To create a free Credentia Platform account, go to http://www.credentia.com/test-takers/ri .Click the “Login” button on the top of the Nevada Nurse Aide website. Follow the instructions to complete your profile account.
  • Pay by credit card or pre-paid credit card (American Express, MasterCard, Visa), ACH/ electronic check, or electronic voucher. Fees are non-refundable and non-transferable once you’ve paid.
  • For exams at test center locations, you’ll need to make an online reservation using a laptop. Using your phone or a tablet is not recommended. You need to make your reservation at least ten (10) calendar days before the test date.
  • For Written or Oral online exams, you can schedule an exam as early as one day following registration, depending on when exam availability.
  • You’ll need to complete your online application in Certified Nursing Assistant 365 but you can ask someone from your nurse aide training program or facility employer for help in completing the application. If you need help or have any questions about the application process, contact a support representative at 888-204-6249.
  • All examinations, necessitate the Proctor/Evaluator to utilize a mobile device for scanning your identification and capturing a photo. This data is securely saved within Credentia’ s software, serving as a safeguard in case there arises any doubt regarding the individual who was administered the exam
