KNAT Testing is available if you have completed approved Nurse Aide Training in Kentucky within one year. The cost for the written portion of the test is $40; the cost for the performance (skills) portion of the test is $75; and the cost for both portions is $115. Testing is done at the Edgewood Campus, Nursing and Allied Helath Science Center, Room 216. Testers must bring a valid, government-issued photo ID with a signature, as well as a non-laminated Social Security card; testers must also wear scrubs. Your training facility must register your test through KCTCS online. Information for KCTCS online testing registration may be found here.
