Exam Fees

Fees are non-refundable and non-transferable once submitted because they cover the administrative costs of registration and testing.

The fees listed below have been established for the NNAAP Examination in South Carolina and are effective as of July 1, 2020.

Under federal and South Carolina state laws, candidates employed as nurse aides in nursing homes that participate in Medicaid/Medicare programs are prohibited from paying their examination fees. Employers must pay the examination fee and any retest fee for those candidates in their employ as nurse aides or candidates who have a written commitment or signed acceptance of employment on file in a Medicaid/Medicare-certified nursing home. Candidates must pay online and be reimbursed by the employer. Candidates not employed as nurse aides in these facilities are permitted to pay their own examination fee. All payments must be made using a credit card or prepaid single-use card.
