Studying for the NCCCO certification exam can be a bit of a grind. Regardless of your familiarity of the equipment and its usage, there are a few key components to keep in mind when planning for the NCCCO certification exam, including preparation for the exam itself and plenty of rest.
As part of your preparation for the NCCCO exam, it’s best to review all the components of the NCCCO written exam and practical aspects of the exam beforehand.

- Be at least 18 years of age
- Comply with both the NCCCO substance abuse policy as well as the code of ethics
