Becoming a CNA in Idaho
Idaho takes a minimalist regulatory approach to CNA certification while still adding hours beyond the federal floor. The Department of Health and Welfare (DHW) sets the 120-hour curriculum, approves Nurse Aide Training and Competency Evaluation Programs (NATCEPs), and contracts Prometric to handle the actual testing and registry portal. Because federal law prohibits charging applicants to be listed on a CNA registry, Idaho's pathway is one of the most affordable in the country once tuition is set aside.
