Frequently asked Questions

What is the difference between a 6 hour training and a 2 hour annual renewal training for CURRENT med techs?

A 6 hour initial training course is for students who do not have a current med tech certification.  AHCA  requires initial training for med techs to be taught in-person only not on-line by an RN instructor.  The 2 hour annual renewal training course is for students who currently have a med tech certification, but it is about to expire.  A 2 hour annual update for med techs to stay current is required by Florida regulations.  This renewal course is allowed by AHCA to be offered on-line.

You have 90 days to access our online courses. You may study and review the lessons as many times as you would like during the 90 days.
