CNA — Certified Nursing Assistant in Washington
WA DSHS Nursing Assistant Registry / DOH
Washington runs the CNA exam on the NNAAP program (Credentia), with the registry under WA DSHS / Department of Health. The written test is in English; a Spanish ORAL substitute is available (not a Spanish written test). Scored pass/fail. Fees: $55 written + $100 skills. A Washington quirk: you get 4 attempts with no time limit (most states cap attempts and impose a 1–2 year window). Our practice bank is trilingual for study support; the WA written exam is English.

✍️ Reviewed by the PassPrep editorial team · How we verify →
Vendors, fees, pass marks and language options vary by state and change over time — fields marked “To confirm” are not yet source-verified, and you should always confirm with your state's nurse aide registry before testing. We never imply you can take the exam in a language your state does not actually offer.
