Nephrology Nursing Certification Commission (NNCC) · The generic workbook label “Dialysis Technician Certifications” is mapped to NNCC’s Certified Clinical Hemodialysis Technician (CCHT) examination; it is not a separate examination or an alias for CCHT-A. Topic alignment uses the blueprint and specification linked from NNCC’s CCHT page on 2026-10-14: cchtExamBlueprint_2021.pdf and cchtSpecifications_2021_08272021.pdf. Their filenames do not establish an effective date. The blueprint states adoption in 2001, 2011, and 2018; the specification states acceptance in 2001, 2012, and 2018. Both print Clinical 48–52%, whereas the application booklet marked Revised 1/2026 prints Clinical 40–42% alongside 71–78 items out of 150. Clinical Application is 48–50 items in the linked blueprint and 45–50 in the booklet. The linked specification also prints Knowledge 8–13% and Comprehension 23–28%, whereas the linked blueprint and booklet print 8–12% and 23–27%; Application is 63–67% throughout. The preparation guide’s printed page 7 explicitly dates its blueprint as accepted April 2018 and effective 2019. Its printed cognitive totals are Knowledge 12–19 (8–13%), Comprehension 35–42 (23–28%), and Application 90–101 (63–67%), differing from the standalone blueprint. That effective date applies specifically to the preparation guide’s printed blueprint and does not establish precedence over the January 2026 booklet. No documented issuer clarification establishing precedence was identified. Consequently, this guide verifies the credential and topic scope but asserts no definitive current Clinical weighting or Clinical Application item range. Technical, Environment, and Role ranges agree across these documents. The separate ©2015 documents are historical comparison sources, not the currently linked outline.
