Becoming a CNA in West Virginia
West Virginia regulates its CNA workforce through the Office of Health Facility Licensure and Certification (OHFLAC), which sits inside the West Virginia Department of Health and is one of the few state agencies that contracts a regional vendor - Professional Healthcare Development, LLC (PHD) - rather than Prometric or Pearson VUE to administer the nurse aide competency exam. OHFLAC sets training, testing, and abuse-registry policy, while PHD handles scheduling, proctoring, scoring, and rule book updates.
