There's no Prometric, no Credentia, no Headmaster — the state test is a \u003Cstrong>KDADS-administered 100-question written exam\u003C\u002Fstrong>, skills competency is signed off by your own instructor during training, and the 90-hour course is built as \u003Cstrong>two sequential parts\u003C\u002Fstrong> (40 hours, then 50) with a rule most states don't have: a trainee must finish all of Part I before ever giving direct resident care. If you understand that architecture, you understand Kansas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There's one more thing to understand before you sign a lease: \u003Cstrong>sponsor eligibility\u003C\u002Fstrong>. By regulation, a Kansas nurse aide course can be sponsored by an adult care home, a hospital's long-term care unit, or a postsecondary school under the jurisdiction of the Kansas Board of Regents. A standalone private school gets in through that third door — which usually means Regents-level approval on top of KDADS course approval. Plenty of private Kansas schools have done it; you just need to plan for both tracks. And the demand is there: over half of Kansas nursing homes report staffing shortages — roughly double the national rate — and the state's own nursing workforce reports show an aging pipeline with a quarter of nurses planning to leave within five years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We work with CNA and allied-health schools every day — Texana Training Solutions in Texas, Core Medical Services in Alabama, Premier Medical Training, and dozens more — running their enrollment, records, and compliance, so we've seen where new Kansas operators lose time.

LLC Articles of Organization cost \u003Cstrong>$160 online\u003C\u002Fstrong> ($165 on paper), and online filings process essentially immediately. Most school owners pick an LLC for liability protection and pass-through taxes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Get your free EIN from the IRS and open a dedicated business bank account. If you'll be pursuing Board of Regents approval (most standalone schools do — see Step 4), your financials become application material, so clean books from the start are worth the discipline.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch2>Step 2 — Register for state taxes\u003C\u002Fh2>\n\u003Cp>Register with the \u003Cstrong>Kansas Department of Revenue\u003C\u002Fstrong> through its online Customer Service Center (or paper Form CR-16). Here Kansas is unusually explicit and friendly: \u003Cstrong>tuition is expressly listed as nontaxable\u003C\u002Fstrong> in KDOR's Publication KS-1560. But if you sell tangible items — textbooks, skills kits, branded scrubs — those retail sales are taxable and you'll need a sales tax account.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When you hire your first instructor, add withholding tax to the same registration and register for unemployment insurance with the \u003Cstrong>Kansas Department of Labor\u003C\u002Fstrong> at dol.ks.gov — the online registration issues your account number and rate instantly (new non-construction employers started at 1.75% on a $14,000 wage base in 2025).\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch2>Step 3 — Secure your location, classroom, and skills lab\u003C\u002Fh2>\n\u003Cp>Kansas's Part I is 40 hours split roughly half classroom, half lab\u002Fclinical — and since trainees can't touch a resident until Part I is complete, your \u003Cstrong>skills lab carries the entire hands-on load of the first three weeks\u003C\u002Fstrong>. Equip it like a working care unit: hospital bed, mannequin, wheelchair and gait belt, working sink for handwashing and personal-care skills, vitals equipment, and privacy screening. The Kansas 90-Hour CNA Sponsor and Instructor Manual on the KDADS Training Provider page details expectations — read it before you buy anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One more reason the lab matters in Kansas: state testing happens at \u003Cstrong>KDADS-approved test sites, which are typically the sponsor schools themselves\u003C\u002Fstrong>. Your classroom is very likely your students' exam room. Confirm zoning and occupancy for instructional use before signing the lease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch2>Step 4 — Apply for state program approval\u003C\u002Fh2>\n\u003Cp>Kansas approval runs through \u003Cstrong>KDADS Health Occupations Credentialing\u003C\u002Fstrong> (785-296-6877, kdads.certification@ks.gov) — and unlike most states, there's no online sponsor portal. It's forms, email, and phone calls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cstrong>First, settle your sponsor eligibility.\u003C\u002Fstrong> K.A.R. 26-50-20 limits course sponsors to adult care homes, hospital long-term care units, and postsecondary schools under Kansas Board of Regents jurisdiction. A standalone private school therefore typically needs a \u003Cstrong>KSBOR Certificate of Approval\u003C\u002Fstrong> under the Kansas Private and Out-of-State Postsecondary Educational Institution Act (annual renewal; initial application costs reported around $3,000 plus program fees — verify with KSBOR). There is a statutory exemption for institutions actively regulated by another Kansas agency, and KSBOR's own site routes CNA programs to KDADS — so before you spend anything, \u003Cstrong>request a written determination from KSBOR and confirm your sponsorship pathway with KDADS by phone\u003C\u002Fstrong>. In practice, established private Kansas CNA schools hold both approvals. Budget for it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cstrong>Then, the KDADS side.\u003C\u002Fstrong> Your instructor's approval application must reach KDADS \u003Cstrong>at least three weeks before the first course\u003C\u002Fstrong>. Each course offering needs department approval, and any change — location, schedule, instructor — goes back to KDADS for sign-off. The governing documents are the Kansas Certified Nurse Aide Curriculum Guidelines (90 hours) and the Sponsor and Instructor Manual. There's no published sponsor application fee; the only fee in regulation is the student's $20 test fee. Also check the KDADS \u003Cstrong>clinical-site \"Ban List\"\u003C\u002Fstrong> before naming your clinical facility — sanctioned adult care homes can't host training.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch2>Step 5 — Hire a qualified instructor\u003C\u002Fh2>\n\u003Cp>Kansas concentrates authority in the instructor, so the hiring bar is specific:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cul>\n\u003Cli>\u003Cstrong>RN\u003C\u002Fstrong> with at least \u003Cstrong>2 years of licensed nursing experience\u003C\u002Fstrong>, including at least \u003Cstrong>1,750 hours worked in an adult care home or a hospital long-term care unit\u003C\u002Fstrong>.\u003C\u002Fli>\n\u003Cli>Plus adult-education preparation: a course in teaching adults, continuing education in supervision or adult education, or documented experience teaching adults or supervising nurse aides.\u003C\u002Fli>\n\u003Cli>During clinical instruction, the instructor may have \u003Cstrong>no other duties\u003C\u002Fstrong> — no double-hatting as a facility charge nurse during student hours.\u003C\u002Fli>\n\u003C\u002Ful>\n\u003Cp>KDADS assigns each approved instructor a six-digit Instructor ID, and the application requires employer verification of that long-term care experience — have your candidate gather those forms early. Because your instructor also verifies each student's skills competency and administers test-day logistics, a single-instructor school has a single point of failure. Get a second RN approved as soon as cash flow allows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch2>Step 6 — Build or buy a state-compliant curriculum\u003C\u002Fh2>\n\u003Cp>The Kansas structure is fixed and sequential:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cul>\n\u003Cli>\u003Cstrong>Part I — 40 hours\u003C\u002Fstrong> (roughly 20 classroom + 20 lab\u002Fclinical): foundations, safety, infection control, basic care skills. Completing Part I makes the student a \"Nurse Aide Trainee II,\" allowed to give direct resident care \u003Cstrong>only under RN\u002FLPN supervision\u003C\u002Fstrong> — and that trainee-employment status is valid for \u003Cstrong>one four-month period only\u003C\u002Fstrong>.\u003C\u002Fli>\n\u003Cli>\u003Cstrong>Part II — 50 hours\u003C\u002Fstrong> (roughly 25 classroom + 25 clinical \u003Cstrong>in a licensed adult care home\u003C\u002Fstrong>): the full care curriculum applied with real residents.\u003C\u002Fli>\n\u003Cli>The rule requires \u003Cstrong>at least 50% of each part to be clinical instruction\u003C\u002Fstrong>, which is how Kansas lands at about 45 classroom \u002F 45 clinical overall.\u003C\u002Fli>\n\u003C\u002Ful>\n\u003Cp>Build from the state's 90-hour curriculum guidelines rather than a generic national text alone — KDADS reviews course offerings against its own outline. Note that Kansas explicitly bars correspondence courses, and a sponsor's \u003Cstrong>first two distance\u002Finternet courses run under \"pilot status\"\u003C\u002Fstrong>, requiring a written proposal at least four weeks before start. Plan your v1 as in-person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch2>Step 7 — Set up clinical site agreements\u003C\u002Fh2>\n\u003Cp>Part II's clinical hours must happen in a \u003Cstrong>licensed adult care home\u003C\u002Fstrong>, so a nursing facility partnership is structural, not optional. Get a written affiliation agreement, and check two Kansas-specific boxes first: the facility isn't on the KDADS Ban List, and it isn't under federal sanctions (42 CFR 483.151(b)(2)) that disqualify it from hosting training.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Trainee II rule is actually a selling point when you pitch facilities: after Part I, your students can legally work as paid trainee aides under supervision for up to four months — a genuine staffing bridge for a shorthanded home. Facilities that hire your Part I completers tend to become loyal clinical partners. As everywhere: sign two sites, not one, and start the agreement conversation sixty days before you need it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch2>Step 8 — Understand testing and the state registry\u003C\u002Fh2>\n\u003Cp>Forget the national vendors — Kansas runs its own show:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cul>\n\u003Cli>The state test is a \u003Cstrong>KDADS-administered written knowledge exam: 100 multiple-choice questions, 75% to pass\u003C\u002Fstrong>, with a \u003Cstrong>$20 nonrefundable fee\u003C\u002Fstrong> your instructor collects and remits with the scheduling paperwork.\u003C\u002Fli>\n\u003Cli>Candidates get a \u003Cstrong>maximum of three attempts within 12 months of the course start date\u003C\u002Fstrong>; after that, it's a full course retake.

The schools we work with run this on Transition — branded online enrollment, payment plans, attendance tracked by course part, skills checklists and grades tied to each student, e-signed enrollment documents, automated onboarding email and SMS, and completion surveys — one system instead of spreadsheets, Jotform, Square, and a filing cabinet.

The state test is a 100-question written exam (75% to pass, $20 fee, three attempts within 12 months) given at KDADS-approved sites — usually the sponsor school.
