With our one-of-a-kind e-learning platform featuring intelligent automation, you will easily navigate your way through the certification process. The entire process is able to be completed online from the comfort of your home. DCD advisor’s will also be made available to assist you throughout the CPT certification exam process. Though our advisors are here if you need them, we offer such an incredibly easy user experience, you’ll most likely not even need them until it’s time for your resume revision and job placement assistance once certified.

You may take the certification exam at any time, and you have a total of 3 attempts to pass the CPT exam without any retake fees. Each time you take a practice exam or the certification exam, you will be provided with a domain proficiency report that will show you the areas of the study materials you need to focus on to improve your score. Upon completion of your national certification exam, your results will be provided to you within 1 hour.

The cost for your initial two-year CPT certification period is $200. Your competency-based study guide, unlimited practice exams, and three chances to take the CPT certification exam are all included in the cost of your initial certification, as well as unlimited medically-driven resume revisions and job placement assistance. On average, these services would cost over $450, but with DCD they are all included for one low cost of $200.
