Becoming a CNA in Connecticut
Connecticut's CNA pathway is administered entirely by the Connecticut Department of Public Health (DPH) through its Practitioner Licensing and Investigations Section. DPH approves all 100-hour Nurse Aide Training Programs, contracts with Prometric to deliver both the written and skills competency exams, and maintains the public Connecticut Nurse Aide Registry. The 100-hour training minimum places Connecticut among the higher-hour states in the Northeast — 25 hours above the federal floor and a meaningful step above neighbors like New York and Rhode Island.
