CCP Audit Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What is the Certification Continuation Program (CCP)?

A: The Certification Continuation Program (CCP) is a mandatory requirement for maintaining AMT certification. Designed to support ongoing professional development, CCP ensures certificants keep their skills and knowledge aligned with current industry standards and best practices. AMT-certified members must document and report qualifying activities every three years to demonstrate their continued commitment to professional growth and competency.

Q2: Why does AMT conduct an Annual CCP Audit?

A: As part of CCP requirements, AMT performs an annual random compliance audit of members who have advanced into a new three-year CCP cycle in the previous calendar year.

• These audits take place at the beginning of each year as part of a systematic review to verify compliance.
• Selected AMT-certified members must provide supporting documentation to validate the CCP points claimed in their previous certification cycle.

Q3: How are individuals selected for the CCP Audit?

A: A report of AMT-certified members marked as compliant with CCP and advanced to their next three-year cycle during the previous calendar year is generated from AMT’s member database. A random selection generator is then used to determine which members will be audited.

Q4: What should I expect if I get randomly selected for the CCP audit?

A: In January, individuals selected for the CCP audit will receive an audit notice via USPS and email, requesting the supporting documents necessary to validate the points claimed in their last three-year CCP cycle.

• Example: If the current year is 2026, your last 3-year CCP cycle would have been from 2022 to 2025.

Q5: When is the deadline to submit my supporting documents?

A: The deadline to submit documentation for the annual CCP audit is March 31 of the audit year. This provides approximately 8 weeks to gather and submit proof of all CCP points claimed in the previous three-year cycle.

• Example: If you receive an audit notice in January 2026, your submission deadline would be March 31, 2026.

Q6: How do I submit my documents?

A: Audited members must submit a complete package containing proof of all continuing education claimed in their last three-year certification cycle using AMT’s Annual CCP Audit Form.

Q7: Can I fax the documents?

A: No. AMT does not accept faxed documents. All audit submissions must be sent using AMT’s Annual CCP Audit Form.

Q8: I entered my points in AMTrax. What documents should I submit for the audit?

A: You must submit supporting documents to verify the points claimed during your last CCP cycle. Acceptable documentation includes:

• Certificates or transcripts of healthcare-related courses/training completed during the last certification cycle.
• Each document must include the following information:
  • Name of the organization/CE provider
  • Title of the course/training
  • Date of completion/activity
  • Amount of credit awarded (e.g., CEU, CME, contact hours, or credit hours)

🚨 Important Notes:

• Missing Information: If any of the above details are missing, your documents will not be accepted.
• AMT Learning Center Activities: Do not submit documentation for courses completed through the AMT Learning Center, such as STEP articles—AMT has already verified and applied these activities to your CCP requirements.
• Refer to the CCP Guidance Document for details on acceptable forms of documentation and point allocation per CCP category.

Q9: How long does it take to receive a response after submitting my documents?

A: Please do not contact AMT to inquire about audit status. The audit process may take up to 8 weeks after the submission deadline (March 31) to complete.

• Once reviewed, AMT will notify you via email whether:
  • Your audit is approved (you have passed).
  • Additional documentation is required (you must submit missing documents within 48 hours of the email).
  • Failure to submit the requested documentation on time will result in non-compliance.

Q10: What happens if I fail to submit proof of my CCP points?

A: If you:

❌ Do not submit supporting documents, OR

❌ Submit unacceptable documentation, OR

❌ Fail to provide additional documentation within the given timeframe,

👉 You will be deemed non-compliant and fail the CCP audit.

⚠️ Failure to comply with the audit requirements will result in the rescinding (decertification) of your AMT certification.
