To maintain their credential, candidates need to complete 12 continuing education credits every two years.
The CHT exam will last for two hours. During that time, candidates will be asked to answer multiple choice or true-false questions. The exam is administered at various times and locations throughout the year. Candidates can take the exam at the Annual Scientific Meeting of Undersea and Hyperbaric Medical Society and at the Society’s regional chapter meetings. Many educational institutions can administer the test if the candidate makes special arrangements.
The CHT exam costs $175 and must be paid when registering for the exam. The certification lasts for two years. If for whatever reason the candidate does not pass with a 70% or better on the first attempt, they must wait six months to retake the exam.
