South Carolina's CNA pathway is administered by the South Carolina Department of Health and Human Services (SCDHHS), which maintains the official South Carolina Nurse Aide Registry. SCDHHS contracts with Credentia (via the CNA365 platform) to handle exam registration, NNAAP testing, registry placement, renewal, and reciprocity. The state requires 100 training hours - more than the federal OBRA 75-hour minimum but less than nearby states like North Carolina (75) and Georgia (85).

To work as a CNA in Rock Hill, you must meet a South Carolina-approved training program of at least 100 hours minimum, pass the Credentia (via CNA365) competency exam (Two-part NNAAP (National Nurse Aide Assessment Program) examination: a 60-question multiple-choice knowledge test (plus 10 unscored pretest items, 90 minutes) and a 5-skill hands-on skills evaluation, administered by Credentia), and clear a SLED (South Carolina Law Enforcement Division) criminal background check and Nurse Aide Registry abuse/neglect check required before clinical placement and employment. Most candidates complete the full process in 6-10 weeks (100-hour program plus 1-2 weeks for Credentia to report results and SCDHHS to post you to the registry).
No Rock Hill program on our directory currently advertises free tuition, but many South Carolina nursing facilities pay for CNA training in exchange for a work commitment after certification. Ask local long-term care employers about employer-sponsored training programs, and check the American Red Cross and Job Corps for additional pathways.
