IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING NBCOT CERTIFICATION EXAMINATION STUDY PREPARATION MATERIALS
NBCOT does not support, endorse, or have any type of affiliation with, any company advertising or selling study preparation materials for NBCOT Certification Examinations, and does not endorse their representations or products.
It has come to the attention of NBCOT that a number of companies advertise and sell study preparation materials to candidates preparing to take the OTC® and OT-SC™ Certification Examinations. In some instances, these companies represent that the product(s) identify specific examination content areas and "guarantee" to help a candidate successfully pass the OTC® or
OT-SC™ examination. For example, one educational publishing firm offers the following study preparation materials on its company Internet site: "Orthopaedic Technologist Certified Exam Secrets Study Guide;" and, "Orthopaedic Technologist Certified Exam Flashcard Study System."
NBCOT does not support, endorse, or have any type of affiliation with, any of these companies, and does not endorse their representations or products. Additionally, NBCOT has not authorized the use and/or display of the NBCOT trademarks, including the OTC® and OT-SC™ marks. Therefore, NBCOT does not assume any legal liability or responsibility for the representations being made by these companies concerning NBCOT examinations, or the products and materials being sold.
As explained in the OTC® Examination Application and Candidate Handbook, "there is no one study guide, reference, or textbook that will solely guarantee that you will pass the OTC® Certification Examination." In order to prepare for the examination, NBCOT recommends that candidates review the examination preparatory references and materials identified on the NBCOT website, including, but not limited to: "Exam Breakdown," located on the NBCOT website:
Please contact the NBCOT Executive Director at Executivedirector@nbcot.net with any additional questions concerning the NBCOT examinations.
