In 2009, ACAM completed the process for developing a certification program for Chelation Therapy. The first program of its kind offered by ACAM, the CCT Designation Exam allows physicians to use CCT as a credential and showcases his/her commitment to applying the highest standard of care when administering Chelation Therapy.  ACAM's CCT Exam was developed in conjunction with Applied Measurement Professionals using state-of-the art psychometrics, robust question development and the academic rigor necessary for a certification program.

CCT Designation elevates the practitioner to a higher standard of reputation and professional development.  Our rigorous and sound program ensures that only those truly qualified to administer chelation therapy safely and effectively are awarded designation.  Patients will look for CCT designation when selecting a healthcare provider.

The process for attaining CCT designation is as follows:

• Meet eligibility requirements.
• Complete ACAM's Chelation Therapy Training Course.
• Be proficient in the protocols and supplemental learning materials available on our resource guide.
• Successfully complete the written exam at one of our testing centers or where the exam is being offered.

Physicians who have achieved Basic Proficiency in Chelation Therapy (BPCT) or Advanced Proficiency in Chelation Therapy (APCT) may apply to sit for the CCT Exam (eligibility requirements apply). As of January 1, 2009, ACAM has discontinued administration of the BPCT and APCT exams; the CCT exam is the only exam currently offered by ACAM.  BPCT and APCT designations will be recognized until January 1, 2013.  It is recommended that health care practitioners who have achieved BPCT and APCT designation sit and achieve CCT designation prior to January 2013.

For information on applying for the CCT exam, please review the CCT Candidate handbook or call 949.309.3526.
