NAB National and State Exam

The National Association of Long Term Care Administrators (NAB) will soon be transitioning away from their third-party testing company, PSI. On January 3, 2025, they will be launching both the NAB national examinations (CORE, NHA, RCAL, HCBS) in addition to the state examinations offered through our testing network with a new testing vendor, Pearson VUE. 

Due to this transition to Pearson VUE, the ability to apply for, schedule, and approve applications in addition to the ability to take both the NAB and state examinations will be temporarily unavailable from December 15, 2024, to January 2, 2025. The last day for candidates to take any of the national NAB examination or state specific examinations through the PSI test network will be on or before 5:00 pm ET on December 14, 2024. All examination services will resume on January 3, 2025. This temporary unavailability is necessary to facilitate these transitions.

While this is a change of vendor and locations of testing centers, the examination content will not be changing. 

Should you have any questions or require further information, please do not hesitate to contact NAB directly at nab@nabweb.org.​
