The Advantage of a Widely Recognized Certification

Health care employers look for allied health professionals who are certified because certification demonstrates that these individuals have the practical skills and knowledge to be successful in their jobs. It also matters which certification your students earn as they complete your allied health programs.

Why AMT
A reputation for excellence: Health care systems and governing bodies prefer AMT to other agencies not only for our decades of experience and industry-recognized expertise, but also because of our nonprofit status and professional membership. When your students get AMT certified, your school’s reputation is reinforced.

School Resources Program

AMT partners with schools whose students have the requisite training that qualifies them to take and pass an AMT exam. By connecting with AMT through our School Resources Program your school will have access to personalized AMT service, extensive management reports and special purchasing options.

AMT works directly with schools to help your students and graduates get certified.

Here is how it works:

Determine Eligibility to Certify If you are interested in certifying your students, please review our program eligibility requirements to determine if your program(s) qualify. Simply open and complete the appropriate curriculum and demographic form below. Save the form with the name of your organization, and submit it via email or fax to the address on the bottom of the form.

Medical Assisting
Phlebotomy
Medical Administrative Specialist
Medical Lab Assistant
Medical Technologist
Medical lab Technician
Dental Assistant

Once AMT has reviewed your curriculum and demographic information, you will be contacted by AMT with information about your AMT Account. This is an organizational account with an organization ID. When your students or graduates apply for certification, they’ll need to link their applications to your school with your organization ID. This organization account is different than your personal AMT account if you have one.

Choose Payment If your students are paying for their own applications for certification or study resources, please have them do that individually from the Get Certified page. If you are purchasing on behalf of your students, here what to expect:

Applications: You will need to provide student applicants with a coupon code, which you receive through the bulk* purchase.

Practice Exams: You will need to provide student applicants with an event code, which you receive via email once you make the bulk* purchase.

Review Courses: Please contact the business development department via phone or email for details.

*The “bulk” purchase process is used even if you only need to purchase a single application or practice exam. Using this process is what generates the coupon or event code you will need to provide your student or graduate.

Detailed Status Reports on Demand
To track all your business with AMT, you’ll have online access to extensive reporting: outcomes data with aggregate examinee performances against a national benchmark; detailed management reports about the status of your students in the certification process; pass rates; and more.

Secure Testing Environments
To maximize security, AMT certification exams are conducted in tightly controlled testing environments. Further, AMT does not allow instructors or other related third-party individuals to proctor or have any financial interest in administering the exams. This is to maintain the highest levels of testing integrity.

Application Process

The application for a AMT certification program is all online. It is easy to apply! Each student is set up with a personal homepage with all their information in one place. A confirmation is sent immediately to the email submitted on the application. Please encourage your students to track their status online using the login information provided in the email. Allow 1 - 2 weeks for initial processing of an application.
