The 4 Steps to Certification in Michigan

1

Pick a State-Approved Program

LARA permits every nurse aide training program. Your options:

  • ✓Community colleges: including Macomb, Grand Rapids, Lansing, Delta, Kellogg, and Washtenaw.
  • ✓Nursing homes and medical care facilities: many train people they hire, and you can be reimbursed if you work there.
  • ✓Private schools: set their own prices. Classroom hours can be in person or virtual; lab and clinical hours are always in person.
2

Complete at Least 75 Hours

Michigan splits the 75 hours like this:

16 Hours
Classroom, before resident contact
16 Hours
Supervised clinical (long-term care)

The other 43 hours can be any mix of classroom, lab, and clinical. After graduating, you can work as a temporary nurse aide for up to 4 months while you finish testing.

3

Pass the Headmaster Exam

A written (or oral) knowledge test and a skills test. You get 3 tries at each.

Knowledge + skills, first attempt$175

Certificate of registration (LARA)$40
After you pass: create a MILogin account, request access to MI-NATES, and submit your new nurse aide application with the $40 fee. MI-NATES doesn't work in Safari, so use Chrome or Edge.
