CA ROUTE CNT REQUIREMENT
An original Clean Needle Technique Course (CNT) completed through CCAOM within 6 years of the California Route application submission date is a mandatory requirement for CA Route Certification.
If the original Clean Needle Technique Course was completed through CCAOM more than six years prior to the date of application for the new route, applicant must complete the Clean Needle Technique (CNT) Review Course: Acupuncture Safety
All certificates of completion for the original CNT course and the CNT Review Course must be sent to the NCCAOM directly from the CNT course provider (CCAOM).
Please note: CNT course verification must be requested only AFTER an application for CA Route is completed with NCCAOM.
