Registration and Scheduling

After finishing a Mississippi state-approved training course, you can create an online account with Credentia’s CNA365 system. The Credentia CNA365 system makes online registration quick and easy, and much faster than mailing a paper application.

• To create a CNA365 account on the top of the Mississippi nurse aide website page at www.credentia.com/test-takers/ms, click the “CNA365 Login” button and select “Sign-Up.” 
  • You can pay by credit card or pre-paid credit card (American Express, MasterCard, Visa, ACH/ electronic check, or electronic voucher). Fees are non-refundable and non-transferable once you are paid. 
  • For exams at test center locations, you’ll need to make an online reservation using a laptop. Using your phone or a tablet is not recommended. You need to make your reservation at least ten (10) calendar days before the test date. 
  • For Written or Oral online exams, you can schedule an exam as early as one day following registration, depending on when exam availability. 
  • You’ll need to complete your online application in CNA365 but you can ask someone from your nurse aide training program or facility employer for help in completing the application.

Exam Scheduling

Once your online application has been approved, you will be able to schedule for exams in CNA365. A detailed step-by-step reference guide on how to schedule exams can be found at How to schedule an exam? - Credentia Self-Help Guides When completed, you will receive a Confirmation Notice and Receipt of Payment via email.

Accommodations

Credentia complies with the provisions of the Americans with Disabilities Act as amended. The purpose of accommodations is to provide candidates with full access to the test. Accommodations are not a guarantee of improved performance or test completion. Credentia provides reasonable and appropriate accommodations to individuals with documented disabilities who demonstrate a need for accommodations.

Test accommodations may include things such as:

• A separate testing room.
• Extra testing time for the Written/Oral exam. 
• A Reader or Recorder, for individuals with mobility or vision impairments and cannot read or write on their own. 

Test accommodations are individualized and considered on a case-by-case basis. All candidates requesting accommodations because of a disability must provide appropriate documentation of their condition and how it is expected to affect their ability to take the test under standard conditions. This may include:

• Supporting documentation from the professional who diagnosed the condition, including the credentials that qualify the professional to make this diagnosis.
• A description of past accommodations the candidate has received.
