Florida CNA Test Registration
How do you register for the CNA exam in Florida?
The application for testing can be accessed by visiting the testing agency’s website. In Florida, the testing agency is Prometric and their website can be located at www.Prometric.com/nurseaide/fl. Under the second heading “Candidate Information”, click on the box labeled “Online Application” to complete the “Certified Nursing Assistant Application Form” online. There is also a link to print a paper application, if you prefer.
You will need to create an account with your email and a password that you choose (this password will need to meet specific security requirements – please read the instructions carefully).
IF YOU ARE A CHALLENGER: (if you have not completed a 120 hour CNA course)
This option should only be used by those that desire to test in Florida and that have NOT attended a state-approved CNA school or are currently enrolled in RN or LPN training. Please ensure you are selecting the appropriate route for testing. All candidates, regardless of training, will take the same CNA exam.
Go to www.Prometric.com/nurseaide/fl to apply online or print the state application and view the step by step instructions on completing and submitting the application. This should be done as soon as possible as the process takes about 2 – 4 weeks to complete.
- Section 1: Candidate Information.
Fill in Section 1 with your personal information, including your social security number on the first line. Make sure your name on the application matches the photo ID and secondary signed ID (like social security card) you will be using EXACTLY! Ensure your address is entered correctly, because this is where your certification will be sent after you complete the test.
- Section 1 End: Candidate Attestation
Check the “Yes” box that you have received and read the attached documents regarding the clearinghouse.
- Section 2: Certification Option/Eligibility
Check E3 – Challenger. If you check off any other option, it will delay processing of your application.

Leave Blank or cross out (paper application). You will not enter training center information on this form.
- Section 4: Disciplinary History.
Read and answer each question accordingly.
- Section 5: Criminal History.
Read and answer accordingly. Good rule of thumb: if you have any criminal history, you need to check “Yes” here.

Answer the additional criminal history questions on page 2 and 3. Please pay close attention. You will only answer the questions labeled “a”, “b”, “c” or “d” if you answer “YES” to any of the NUMBERED questions in this section. If you have NO felonies, you will answer “NO” to all questions in this section. If you do have a felony, you will need to know the statute number of the violation and how long ago the violation occurred to answer these questions.

Check “Regional Testing Center” and select your closest testing center from the drop-down box (if using a paper application, go to www.Prometric.com/nurseaide/fl for a current list of testing centers write the site code for the testing center closest to you in the box provided).
