Once you receive an approval email from the Illinois Department of Health, you will need to complete the following:
- Verify your eligibility to register by entering your social security number and date of birth.
- Continue to create your username and password.
- Once you have registered, you can log in and begin to take the exam.
You can take this exam online, or in person, following the steps on the SIU website. You will receive a reply via email in about a week, and Southern Illinois University will submit your approval to the Illinois Department of Public Health to receive your CNA certification.
