The applicant must have a High School diploma, GED or regular attendance in ABE classes and be at least 16 years of age. A physical examination is required for each applicant and they must also complete a 2-step PPD skin test in the last 12-months. Applicants must submit to a limited criminal history check. While a criminal record does not disqualify a person from training, it does typically limit them to a CNA related position. Applicants must also demonstrate the ability to read, write and perform basic math functions of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. The State of Indiana also requires that the applicant pass a competency exam upon completion of their training in order to be eligible for employment. The Nursing Assistants then need to register with the Indiana Nurse Aide Registry.
