Patient Care Technician Certification

Patient Care Technician Certification Successful completion of our PCT II program prepares you to take the National Health career Association (NHA) Certification Exam. Testing is available at our facility for a fee of $149.00 and is a privilege for students who attend all classes, obtain at least a 75% grade point average on all tests and make timely payments. At the discretion of the Director, students who achieve below 75% on a section will have the opportunity to retest. In the event that a test date is cancelled, Branford Hall will give the student as much notice as possible and will assist with rescheduling as dates become available. If arrangements are made for testing at our facility, and the student fails to attend the test date without proper notification or a Doctor’s note, Branford Hall will not refund the $149 test fee. Students who do not pass the NHA will have to wait one month before re-applying to retest. After passing the test, you will be issued with a NHAID Card and Certificate.
