If a candidate does not pass the NAB exam, what must they do before retaking it?

The requirement to retake an approved preparatory course after not passing the NAB exam stems from the desire to ensure candidates are adequately prepared for their next attempt. This policy aims to improve the chances of success for candidates by reinforcing essential knowledge and skills relevant to nursing facility administration.

By participating in an approved preparatory course, candidates can address any knowledge gaps identified during their previous exam attempt. This structured course usually focuses on the key areas assessed in the NAB exam, helping candidates familiarize themselves with the exam format and content, enhancing their understanding of the material, and boosting their confidence for the next try.

The intention behind this requirement is to motivate candidates to invest time in their preparation, thus increasing the overall competency of future nursing facility administrators.
