Frequently Asked Questions

How can I get reimbursed for expenses I had during training?

The Gateway-In Project© Social Worker can provide students with financial support for certain expenses incurred during their CNA, Activities Professional, or Service Coordinator training. Students must submit a reimbursement request form within a 30-day window following their graduation. For more information on what expenses are eligible and how to submit for reimbursement, contact us here.

How do I follow up on the status of my CNA license after I take the exam?

To check the status of your CNA license, click here. Please wait 30 days before contacting The California Department of Public Health (CDPH) for an update.

If you need to contact CDPH, find their general contact information here.

You can also call them directly at (916) 327-2445. The phone line will prompt you to input your social security number and the automatic system will inform you if you are certified or not. This is the phone number that employers will call to check as well.

Please be aware that we cannot check the status of your CNA license, apart from the publicly available resources mentioned earlier. It is your responsibility to verify this information. If you require guidance in navigating this process, feel free to contact your Coordinator for assistance.
