Are you a military service member interested in becoming certified? NCCT offers multiple paths to certification including a route specifically for U.S. military service men and women. Applicants will receive the discounted military rate for all of our certification programs.
Professionals holding NCCT credentials are expected to complete continuing education (CE) activities annually to maintain an active certification status. Annual recertification provides evidence both to employers and to the public that NCCT-credentialed professionals are updating their knowledge and staying abreast of changes in their fields.
Schools and employers throughout the country utilize NCCT for their certification needs. Test your students or employees on site or we’ll help you find a nearby testing location that works for your students or employees. Each testing site is assigned a personal testing representative who will ensure your needs are met and questions are answered.
NCCT recognizes adults can learn in many ways, which is the reason we offer multiple paths of qualification for certification testing. Eligibility paths may include education, experience, or both! We work directly with hospitals and medical offices to determine how we can best meet the certification needs of its employees.
