Cancellation

You can easily cancel or reschedule an exam online using your CNA365 account. Visit http://www.credentia.com/test-takers/va and click How to Cancel or Reschedule an Exam in the resources section of the webpage.

Written Exam: 

You need to cancel or reschedule your Online Written (or Oral) examination at least 48 hours (2 days) before your scheduled test time. 

Skill Exam: 

If you are unable to attend your test, you must call Credentia Customer Service at least ten (10) calendar days before the test date to reschedule (Saturday and Sunday and national holidays are not considered calendar days). If you do not call Credentia at least ten (10) calendar days before your test date to reschedule and do not show up for your scheduled test, you will be responsible for the test fee. Your fee will not be refunded and cannot be transferred to a new test date, and you may not give your test date to another person.

  • If you do notify Credentia in time, there is no penalty, and your fee may be transferred to your new test date. If your employer paid your test fee, inform them about missing the test or rescheduling. Let them know how you have handled rescheduling and when you plan to take the test again.
  • If you do not report to the testing location on the day of your scheduled test, you will be considered a “no-show” and you will not get your testing fee back.
