QUESTIONS

Before you enroll

What is the difference between a certificate and a credential?

A certificate of completion shows you finished a course. A credential shows you met a standard that was checked, such as a hands-on skills check for CHT or an exam for CPTMP.

Who issues CHT, CHTI and CPTMP?

Impact Training Company issues all three. CHT, HPT and CPTMP were created in partnership with NAHTM and are endorsed by NAHTM.

Can I earn CHT online?

No. CHT includes hands-on training and a skills check through a hospital program. HPT is the online knowledge course that prepares you.

When does CPTMP launch?

The first official offering is at the NAHTM Annual Conference, May 18-20, 2027. Packages start at $395 for the exam only. Candidates need three or more years in transport leadership at supervisor level or above, active NAHTM membership and a resume review, and study alone does not guarantee eligibility.

Does the CE Access Pass count toward both CHTI and CPTMP?

Partly. Leadership and Technical modules count toward both CHTI and CPTMP renewal. Instructor modules, included in the CHTI pass, count toward CHTI renewal only.

How long do I have access to online courses?

Access to courses and complete programs does not expire. CE Access Passes cover one renewal cycle.
