Nurse Aide Registry
Training Program Test Data

The Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) Nurse Aide Registry (NAR) approves Nurse Aide Training Competency Evaluation Programs (NATCEP). According to federal and state law, the training programs must be at least 75 hours in length.

Persons are allowed four (4) chances to pass the knowledge and three (3) chances for the skills competency exam for placement on the Minnesota Nurse Aide Registry.

Posted data is for all test takers from an approved NATCEP, and shows number of candidates and pass rate for the knowledge and competency tests. Data also includes test takers who have not completed an approved training program, who have challenged the competency exam or have tested using the waiver checklist option.

The approved training program test data is provided to the Minnesota Nurse Aide Registry. Each training program has the ability to review their own data in the Test Master Universe (TMU) system from Headmaster.
