AMT- A Trusted Name

American Medical Technologists (AMT) is a not-for-profit association of allied health professionals. In addition to certification, AMT provides members ongoing support to maintain skills and competencies, learn and grow in their chosen professions, and sustain quality in the workplace.

This isn’t something we merely talk about – it’s something we do every day. We’ve awarded over 1 million certifications to healthcare professionals during our three decades of existence. These certifications truly empower people to pursue their career goals and move forward, confident that they have the knowledge and skills necessary to perform well in their role.
As we continue to advance and advocate for frontline healthcare workers, we strive to create a ripple effect on the healthcare industry. By working to certify professionals who meet a nationally recognized measure of competency, we help improve patient care and make for a better, more thoughtful patient experience.
Our ability to grow and evolve as the need for certified allied healthcare workers has grown and evolved uniquely positions us to lead the industry. Guided by a spirit of innovation, we offer solutions beyond certification and address the needs of your learners and students throughout their journeys.

But we don’t do it alone. We measure our success on the collective success that comes from true partners who share our passion for shaping a better future in healthcare.

Welcome! The New York State Department of Health (NYSDOH) has contracted with Prometric to develop and administer the New York State (NYS) Nursing Home Nurse Aide Competency Examination and manage the NYS Nursing Home Nurse Aide Registry (NAR). All individuals performing nurse aide duties in a nursing home on a full-time, part-time or contractual basis must meet minimum training and competency requirements in accordance with state and federal regulations and be listed in good standing on the NAR. The majority of nurse aides on the registry become certified by successfully completing a NYS-approved nursing home nurse aide training program and passing the Competency Examination. The exam consists of two parts: 1) a Clinical Skills exam (practical portion); and 2) a Written (oral) exam

Scheduling certification exams is easy. Simply log into your Test Site account, select “Schedule Exam” and submit exam details. All exam dates must be entered prior to candidates registering. Two weeks prior to every scheduled exam date, an exam confirmation and roster is email for review, approval or changes.

The AMCA provides prep material for all of our National Certification Exams at no additional cost to the candidates or Test Site. Practice tests can be used as an assessment before candidates challenge the national certification exam and Quizlet allows your candidates to Study-On-the-Go.

AMCA’s finance team has developed a simple payment procedure that can work for every Test Site. No over billing or charging for exams not taken. Only pay for completed exams and invoicing is available, for larger groups with finance department approval.

Site owners /directors appoint proctors/staff members for an exam that do not have a conflict of interest for the exam being offered. It is required that the Proctor not be in a faculty role in that particular program being tested and complete AMCA’s Proctor Training. To learn about proctoring exams for AMCA, click here.

The AMCA allows instructors from AMCA Approved Test Sites to challenge 1 certification exam AT NO COST.

All AMCA exam dates are accompanied with an exam item analysis. It is important for Test Site directors and instructors to receive feedback on the overall certification exam results. All item analyses provide the percentage of correct and incorrect answers broken down by the exam blueprint or domains.

AMCA has teamed up with E-Hired.com to provide you with your gainful employment action plan. Once a candidate successfully passes a National Certification exam, they will receive daily emailed job leads within a 25 miles radius of their zip code, specific to their certification.
