Exam outline and official sources
National Healthcareer Association (NHA) · Current as of 2026-10-13 Asia/Hong_Kong: NHA CPCT/A Test Plan based on the 2018 job analysis, applicable before the updated examination launches January 13, 2027. The PDF does not state a separate effective date. The workbook label 'Certified Patient Care Technician Certification' maps to NHA's officially named Certified Patient Care Technician/Assistant (CPCT/A) examination; the assigned slug is preserved. The 2025 job-analysis plan is prospective on this date and is not the blueprint used for these materials.
This original 20-question sample covers selected topics across the outline. It does not reproduce official exam questions or cover every tested topic.
