Certification Schedule

Thank you for your interest in Breast Patient Navigator Certification

We have completed our online testing project. At this time, are only allowing those who were registered to test in April the opportunity to take the exam.

We have also decided to make it available to a group as we would for a regional in the month of September. We are working on the registration page for this now and we will begin accepting applicants soon.

Due to travel restrictions, we do not have plans for regional testing sites this year.

If you are interested in hosting a Regional Navigation Program at you facility in 2021 please contact Aerial at 574-401-8113. If you have any questions please contact the Certifications Manager at certifications@breastcare.org

Application/Registration is required at least 1 week prior to testing at each location.  Those who need an accommodation and can supply appropriate documentation can reach out to the certification manager at certifications@breastcare.org for assistance.  NCBC abides by the ADA requirements for testing accommodations.  For a list of required documents, visit https://www.ada.gov/regs2014/testing_accommodations.html.

Exam handbook will be sent as a pdf via email within 7 days of registration.  If you do not receive it in this time frame, please check your junk mail and then if you still don't see it please call the office.

Test results will be sent via email within 3 weeks of taking the exam.

NCBC is in the process of accrediting its certification through the National Commission of Certifying Agencies. It is hoped that individuals who wish to be certified are currently navigating breast patients as part of their job, and are familiar with many, if not all, aspects of navigation for a breast care/cancer patient. Although experience is not a condition of certification eligibility, the beta testing results to date have revealed that experience has a direct correlation to the level of success of taking the certification examination.
