Take the Exam

You will either take the exam at your school on a specified date or, once your application has been accepted by AMT, you will be given instructions on how to schedule your exam through a Pearson VUE testing center or at a DANTES site. If you take the exam online, you will know your score immediately. This score is transmitted to AMT and if everything else is in order, within a few weeks you should receive your official certificate and membership card in the mail. Please note that you are not considered certified until you receive official documentation from AMT.

On an annual basis, you will be asked to pay a nominal fee in order to keep your certification and membership current. Every three years you will be required, through the Certification Continuation Program (CCP), to submit an attestation that you have acquired a specific number of continuing education credits relevant to your certification specialty.
