The minimum requirement for certification is the equivalent of two semesters of classroom training and off-site assignments, (100 hours). Fifteen hours of continuing education credits are required annually to maintain active certification. A Board has been created to administer exams for Board Certification at three higher levels of academic and practical experience.
In order to receive certification, you must have successfully completed an NGH approved certification course or training. The NGH recognizes many courses, training and/or a combination of supervised practice. If you have questions about whether or not a course you have taken or training you have received, meets the NGH standards for reciprocal certification, you must contact NGH directly at:
