Utah Home Health Aide License Requirements

To practice as a home health aide in Utah, the state licensing board requires 1,000 documented education or training hours, a passing score on a state-approved examination. A criminal history background check is also part of the application. The regulation sits under Utah's professional licensing framework, which classifies training as "Certificate/Degree".

Upfront cost is $100 on a 2-year cycle. Continuing education is not a listed requirement for this profession in this state, so the annualized maintenance burden is lower than in states that mandate ongoing hours.

Utah evaluates out-of-state credentials case-by-case rather than through a published reciprocity list. Compared to the profession-wide pattern, the numbers above should be cross-checked against other states before relocating — licensing cost, training hours, and exam requirements vary enough that a different state may cut thousands of dollars and months of training from the path. The state board, not this page, is the final authority; verify every field below with the official regulator before you pay fees or enroll in training.
