Licensing Info
NAB is governed by its members, the state boards and agencies that license long term care administrators. Click on a state for its board’s contact information.
Each state has its own requirements for obtaining an NHA or RCAL license. To clarify any licensing requirements, please contact your state directly. Please note: the national exam fees are the same for all states:
- Core Exam + NHA LOS exam $440
- Core Exam + RCAL or HCBS exam $415
- Core Exam ONLY $310
- One LOS Exam ONLY $185
ATTENTION ADMINISTRATORS: As state boards notify NAB of any licensure or CE requirement changes due to COVID-19, we are updating our website. Please visit State CE/ Licensure Requirement Changes for updates.


State Board Executives discuss new models for licensure and how the changes will benefit various stakeholders.
