Becoming a CNA in Colorado

The Colorado State Board of Nursing, housed under the Department of Regulatory Agencies (DORA) Division of Professions and Occupations, issues the CNA license and maintains the public registry. Nurse Aide Training and Competency Evaluation Programs (NATCEPs) are reviewed and approved separately by the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE). And competency testing is administered through approved third-party vendors, with D&S Diversified Technologies (Headmaster) and Credentia operating the most widely used exams in the state.
