As a certification agency, AMT strives to provide competency-based examination certification for allied health professionals. Individuals opting to become certified and those choosing AMT, realize that when they pass the examination, they are receiving a credible certification from an agency that has been certifying individuals for 65 years.
Our examination-based certifications are accredited by the National Commission for Certifying Agencies (NCCA). NCCA is the accreditation body of NOCA. AMT must meet and demonstrate compliance with each accreditation standard. NCCA's Standards meet the requirements set forth by the American Psychological Association and the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. These stringent requirements mean that the certification examination you take has been thoroughly studied and approved by NCCA.
AMT is a member of the National Organization of Competency Assurance (NOCA).
NOCA has become the leader in setting quality standards for credentialing organizations. Through its annual conference, regional seminars, and publications, NOCA serves its membership as a clearinghouse for information on the latest trends and issues of concern to practitioners and organizations focused on certification, licensure, and human resource development.
