The course training is very comprehensive, which includes the theory component and skills lab, so that an individual will succeed in the national board certification exam. In order to sit for the national board certification exam, students must pass the course with an average of 75% to receive a Certificate of Completion. With this certification, students will then be qualified to sit for the national board certification exam.

We provide the tools and the resources for our students to succeed. Our training program allows students to "digest" or process the information slowly and at an extended period of time in order to retain the necessary knowledge and skills.
After successful passing of the national board certification exam, students are eligible to apply for the externship program or clinical component.
Those enrolling in the externship program will be interviewed by our Clinical Coordinator/Facility Manager and if accepted, a preceptorship of the appropriate length will be arranged at a participating health care facility, based on clinical rotations.
