Continuing-education requirements for CNAs in Utah

Utah does not mandate a fixed number of CE/in-service hours for CNA renewal. Renewal requires verification of paid work — at least 200 paid hours of nursing or nursing-related services under a licensed nurse during the 24 months. Volunteer, clinical-school, and unpaid hours do not count.
