CNA Renewal CEU

Dear CNAs in California,

We have listened to your questions and frustrations, especially about how difficult it is to renew your license. Most of you are women . . . and the head of your household. (Wow, so proud!)

But this also means that your time is 99% dedicated to work and family, and any requirement to give time outside of your two main priorities piles on your stress and create loss of income; and you often tell us that you're already at the bottom of the pay scale.

We understand the complicated rules that you have to follow — it takes an average of 2-3 months to renew your license (10x longer than RNs and LVNs).

Also, t here's a lack of support to call and ask your most common questions, especially tackling CDPH forms you do not understand. (E.g., What? I missed my first year? Why is calculating my 1st and 2nd year so complicated?)

So, we created this page for referrals. We hope that it will help you in your difficult journey.

*** For CNAs who let their license expire or Lapse — you need to be re-tested again

A) CNA RENEWALS

Must obtain forty-eight (48) hours of In-Service Training/CEUs within the certification period.
  • A minimum of twelve (12) of the forty-eight (48) hours shall be completed in each year of the two (2) year certification period.
  • A maximum of twenty-four (24) of the forty-eight (48) hours may be obtained only through a CDPH-approved online computer training program listed on our website.

Online CEU certificates must be attached to this form for validation.

Please visit www.cdph.ca.gov for a complete listing of CDPH-approved classroom and online co mputer CEU providers.

If the CDPH-approved HHA Training Program (40-hour program) was completed during the certification period, twenty-six (26) hours of the forty (40-hour) training program may count towards CEUs. Training less than 50 mintues increments cannot be counted towards the CEU/In-Service training renewal requirement.

B) HHA RENEWALS

Must obtain twenty-four (24) hours of In-Service Training/CEUs within the certification period. Twelve (12) of the twenty-four (24) hours are required in each year of the two (2) year certification period (HHAs may not use online CEUS to meet the renewal requirement).

C) CNA REACTIVATION
1) If you are unable to meet renewal requirements and your certificate has not been expired for more than two (2) years, you may reactivate the certificate by taking the Competency Evaluation. To reactivate the CNA certificate, please submit this completed Renewal Application (CDPH 283 C), making sure to check the "yes" box for question number six (6) in the "Reactivation" section. If approved, a Competency Evaluation approval letter will be sent to you, along with information needed to schedule the examination. You must complete the examination within two (2) years from your certificates expiration date. Once you have successfully passed the examination, maintained criminal record clearance, and the results from the testing vendor have been received, CDPH will issue a current CNA certificate.

NEW D) CONTINUING EDUCATION

CEUs must be obtained only through a CDPH-approved provider with a
valid NAC#. Courses taken for credit must enhance the knowledge and skills of the CNA/HHA and enhance the skills in the employer-based healthcare settings.

E) CONTINUING IN-SERVICE TRAINING/CEUS

1) This training must be provided by a department-approved provider that is a health facility where the CNA/HHA has been employed within the most recent certification period.

F) Licensed Vocational Nurse / Registered Nurse / Licensed Psychiatric Technician Programs

CNA/HHA certificate holders will receive In- Service Training/CEUs for completion of these courses by converting the units into hours as follows: one (1) semester unit = fifteen (15) hours, one (1) quarter unit = ten (10) hours. You must submit a copy of your school transcript to verify your enrollment and completion of this coursework.
