Becoming a CNA in Michigan
Becoming a CNA in Michigan changed significantly in 2023 when LARA — the Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs — switched testing vendors from Prometric to D&S Diversified Technologies (Headmaster) and launched MI-NATES (Michigan Nurse Aide Training and Enforcement System) as the state's first fully paperless registry portal. If you took a Michigan CNA exam before July 2023, you tested with Prometric; everyone since takes the Headmaster TMU exam at mi.tmutest.com. This is a recent change, and outdated study materials still reference Prometric, so make sure your prep is current.
