NCCT’s Recertification Purpose
The NCCT Board of Testing requires the continuing professional development of its certificants to ensure that individuals who hold
NCCT credentials maintain an ongoing commitment to learning, keep pace with developments in the field of healthcare, and strengthen
their knowledge and skills. The mandatory recertification process provides certificants with the opportunity to demonstrate the
reinforcement and expansion of their knowledge and skills, retain their knowledge of current practice, and assure the public that
they have met current professional standards of qualifications and knowledge for practice required to maintain certification.
