Graduates qualify to sit for the Prometric (Headmaster) state competency exam, and successful candidates are added to the Alabama Nurse Aide Registry. The two-week schedule makes it a popular fast-track option for career switchers.

Becoming a CNA in Alabama
Alabama's CNA pathway is governed by the Alabama Department of Public Health (ADPH), Division of Health Care Facilities, which oversees the state Nurse Aide Registry under federal OBRA-87 requirements. Unlike states with separate licensing boards, ADPH itself approves every Nurse Aide Training and Competency Evaluation Program (NATCEP) and contracts with Prometric to deliver both the written and skills portions of the competency exam. This single-agency structure keeps the timeline relatively short — most candidates can move from enrollment to active registry status in 6 to 10 weeks.
