Which statement about CMA eligibility is NOT true?

• A. C.N.A. certification
• B. Passed CMA program
• C. C.N.A. and passed CMA program
• D. High school diploma

Answer: (D)

Eligibility for CMA credentials comes from having specific training or a related certification, not from a high school diploma alone. You can be eligible by completing a CMA program, or by holding CNA certification, because both options demonstrate the clinical knowledge and skills the CMA exam expects. In some cases, having both CNA certification and CMA program completion also satisfies eligibility. A high school diploma by itself does not meet these pathways, so the statement about a high school diploma being sufficient is not true.
