Support

We want your learning experience to go smoothly. Who can help depends on where your program is hosted:

Programs hosted by a 3rd party (AHA, ENA, SCCM)

For these programs your online course, e-learning or exam account lives on the issuing organization's own system. HCTA has no access to those accounts, so we cannot reset passwords, recover logins, fix account errors, or see your progress there. Please contact the organization's own support team directly using the contact info on their website.

What we can do: help with your HCTA registration, confirm your enrollment, and assist with registration transfers.

Programs hosted directly by HCTA (e.g., CEN, CCRN review, SNEAT, RAPID)

HCTA support handles login, password, access and technical questions for these programs directly. Email Support@hctausa.org or call (732) 777-1191 and we'll get you sorted.

Registration transfers: need to move to another session? Contact Support@hctausa.org or (732) 777-1191; see your program's Transfer section for eligibility and any fee.
