Nanny Essentials Exam by NTI
Upon the completion of the “Nanny Essentials”
Training, the Nanny Training Institute offers participants the option of
completing the course exam.
The exam may be taken in-class or as a take-home following the course. NTI scores each training participants exam, including exams of participants who take the Nanny Essentials training course at a location other than NTI. A score of 80-100 receives a certificate of accomplishment from the Nanny Training Institute.
As a not-for-profit organization, our mission is to enhance the quality of care-giving. As such, nannies who participate in both Nanny Essentials I and II and do not receive a passing grade may continue self-study and re-take the exam in three months for no additional charge. To aide their self-study, NTI will send them a brief report on the areas they need to further develop.
