Certification Education Study Guides

This Certification Exam Study Guide is divided into three parts – a set of basic to advanced practice questions with answers, a list of suggested references for a deeper dive into topics you may wish to learn more about and a set of short study materials or one-page summaries and tables of frequently accessed information. These resources are intended to be a supplement to materials available to you in your laboratory, such as lectures, manuals, meetings, not the sole items used for your exam preparation. 

The Study Guide is designed to cover the topics currently listed in the ACHI detailed content outlines for the CHA/CHT and CHS exams and provide a foundation upon which to prepare for the Diplomate exam. The practice questions and study materials comprising the Study Guide were developed independently of the ACHI/CHA/CHT, CHS and Diplomate exams. No one who worked on the Study Guide or contributed to the Study Guide was affiliated with the ACHI or participated in development of the ACHI Certification Exams.

Regular review and revision are planned as the field and the exam content outlines evolve, and as we receive feedback from users.

We need your feedback! After you access the Study Guide and study for your exam, please send us your questions, comments and suggestions. Please click here to take a brief survey. Thank you for your comments.
