How to get CNA certified in Utah

  1. Complete a state-approved nurse aide training program (federal minimum: 75 hours, 16 of them supervised clinical practice).
  2. Pass your state’s competency evaluation: a written or oral exam plus a skills demonstration.
  3. Get listed on your state nurse aide registry, which employers check before hiring.
  4. Keep your certification active. Under federal rules, if you go 24 consecutive months without paid nursing-related work you must retrain or retest.

Rules differ by state. Confirm current Utah requirements with the relevant state board or registry before you enroll.
