A computer-based certification exam that validates entry-level patient care knowledge and safety-focused skills.
The NHA Patient Care Technician/Assistant Certification Exam (CPCT/A) is a computer-based, multiple-choice certification exam used to assess the foundational knowledge and safety practices expected of patient care technicians/assistants. You’ll answer about 100 questions in approximately 2 hours at an authorized testing site, and your result is reported as pass/fail based on a scaled score (passing score: 390).
This exam is typically taken by students and working professionals in nursing and allied health pathways who want a recognized credential to support clinical employment goals. It’s designed to confirm that you can apply entry-level clinical concepts, follow safety standards, and make sound decisions in common patient care situations.
Because the CPCT/A is timed and covers a broad range of workplace-ready knowledge, preparation matters. Targeted practice helps you get comfortable with the pacing, sharpen your decision-making on multiple-choice questions, and reduce test-day stress by making the format feel familiar.
Practicing with realistic questions and clear explanations also helps you identify what you already know versus what needs more attention. When you study based on your performance—rather than guessing what to review—you can use your time more efficiently and walk into the exam with a clearer sense of readiness.

Expect questions that focus on entry-level patient care knowledge, safety, and clinical support tasks—often presented as short scenarios where you choose the safest or most appropriate next step.
