The National and Michigan NHA examinations are administered in a computerized format. This allows the candidate to schedule an exam on a date and location that is convenient through the Prometric multi-state network of testing centers.

All applicants must apply for the Michigan nursing home administrator license before they can take the National and/or Michigan examinations. Please call (517) 335-0918 or email bhpinfo@michigan.gov for a licensure application.
