WHCA AB Member Now Providing HCA Testing at Three Locations!
The Department of Health has now approved S&H Training Center to administer the state exam to all home care aide candidates in Olympia, Sequim and Vancouver. The owner at S&H hopes to open to more locations across the state next year.
If a home care aide has NOT already paid/scheduled their state exam with Prometric, then they can take the written and skills exams with an S&H Training instructor.
If you want to take the exam with S&H Training, follow the steps below:
- Apply for the home care aide credential with the Department of Health (if you haven’t already): https://doh.wa.gov/licenses-permits-and-certificates/professions-new-renew-or-update/apply-online/online-instructions
