Exam Day Online Exam

Alabama - National Nurse Aide Assessment Program (NNAAP)

Take the written/oral exam conveniently from home using the online proctor option. A live proctor will monitor you through the webcam on your workstation to provide a secure exam experience. Online exams also offer significantly more scheduling flexibility than test center exams to best meet your availability.

What You'll Need

A properly equipped computer - a desktop, laptop, or Chromebook with a single monitor (no smartphones or tablets). Visit www.credentia.com/online-exams to view or download system requirements.

A private room - if you don't have access to a private room, check with your training program or local library for availability.
A mobile device - to complete a 360-degree room scan, you'll need a smartphone or tablet (Apple or Android) that can download our free app.

Before Exam Day

Perform a system test – make sure to do the required system test and exam simulation before exam day. Visit www.credentia.com/online-exams and select the “Run System Test” button.
Find your testing space – Find a quiet, distraction-free area in your home or office to take your exam.
Get your ID ready - You are required to bring two (2) forms of official, signature-bearing identification (one of which must be a photo identification). Photocopies of identification will NOT be accepted.

The name on your identification must be the same as the name you used on the application to register for the examination. If you do not bring proper identification, you will not be allowed to test, and your examination fee will not be refunded.

On Exam Day

STEP 1: Prepare your testing space.

Quiet: no background noise and inform members of your household you are taking an exam.
Well-lit: proctors must be able to see you and your testing space well.
Privacy: no one else in the room.
Remove prohibited items: clear workstation area to expedite room scan.
Restroom/Beverages: use restroom and prepare beverages before exam.

STEP 2: Have your ID ready.

Have your government-issued photo ID with you (see list or proper identification in section above).

STEP 3: Prepare your computer.

Disconnect any additional monitors and close all other open applications.
Have your chargers (laptop, smart phone, or tablet) plugged in or nearby.
Use a wired internet connection rather than WiFi, if possible.
If using WiFi, we recommend at least 3Mbps and ask that other household members do not use the internet during your exam.
Disconnect any VPNs or firewalls if you have them.
If taking an Oral Exam, you must use a wired headset.

STEP 4: Download the ExamRoom AI app.

STEP 5: Check-in for your exam.

When to check-in: You can begin the check-in process up to 30 minutes prior to your appointment. Your onboarding agent will make sure everything is ready for your exam before introducing your proctor. Visit www.credentia.com/online-exams to view or download detailed check-in procedures.
