CHHA Certification Details

Healthcare is evolving and the demand for home health aides is experiencing unprecedented growth with a remarkable 34% increase in demand claimed by O*Net. According to the U.S. Department of Labor, an estimated 711,700 new jobs are expected to be added each year. An aging population, the increasing prevalence of chronic conditions, and a widespread preference for in-home care over institutional settings are driving this surge. As we navigate these changes, the importance of professional, competent and compassionate care within the home setting has never been more apparent.

The National Center for Competency Testing (NCCT) is taking the lead in advancing the quality of home health care by offering the first-to-market home health care certification exam: Certified Home Health Aide (CHHA). For students, obtaining NCCT certifications means distinguishing yourself with a mark of excellence nationally recognized across the healthcare industry, while providing you with a significant advantage in the job market. For employers, this certification ensures a highly competent staff, improving patient outcomes while strengthening the reputation of the organization.

To NCCT, certification is not merely a credential, it is a testament to dedication, proficiency and an unwavering commitment to the highest standards of competence in healthcare. Certifying home healthcare workers through NCCT demonstrates your commitment to their future success and to improving the overall quality of care provided in the community.
