Becoming a CNA in Indiana

Indiana's CNA pathway is governed by the Indiana Department of Health (IDOH), formerly the Indiana State Department of Health (ISDH), through its Long Term Care division. IDOH approves every Nurse Aide Training Program in the state and maintains the official Indiana Aides Registry, which is also used for Qualified Medication Aides (QMAs) and Home Health Aides (HHAs). What distinguishes Indiana procedurally is that IDOH contracts with Ivy Tech Community College — the state's largest community college system — to handle all CNA application processing, exam scheduling, and competency testing.
