ABOUT THE PROGRAMTake a
Take a
deeper dive.
Into the science. Into the equipment. Into the decisions that make hyperbaric care safer.
Build your foundation through NHSA training that connects classroom learning with practical chamber experience and a clear focus on safety.

BEYOND THE LECTUREUnderstand the why.
Understand the why.
Practice the how.
Hyperbaric training is about more than knowing which control to turn. It is understanding pressure and oxygen, preparing a patient and chamber, recognizing a concern, and knowing how your team should respond.
HBOTCertification.com provides National Hyperbaric Safety Association training. The in-person program pairs structured instruction with equipment demonstrations, practical exercises, case discussions, and assessment.
LEARNING THAT YOU CAN PUT TO WORKLearn the theory.
Learn the theory.
Practice together.
Work alongside your cohort and connect the classroom material to the people, equipment, and routines of a hyperbaric clinic.
Get close to the details
Explore chamber systems, controls, checklists, and the operating sequence. Ask questions where the learning happens: beside the equipment.
Build repeatable habits
Connect patient preparation, observation, communication, and documentation to consistent operating routines.
Learn with your cohort
Talk through scenarios, compare perspectives, and practice the communication that keeps a team coordinated.
Knowing what to do when things go well matters. Preparing for what to do when they do not is an essential part of the training.

From first principles
to practical decisions.
The NHSA in-person course outline connects the science of hyperbaric oxygen with clinical understanding, chamber operation, safety, and assessment.
Start with a shared foundation.
An introduction to course objectives, NHSA, the safety briefing, and relevant anatomy and physiology prepares the cohort for the modules that follow.
The outline below describes the in-person program. Clinic Safety Director is a separate online course focused on safety leadership and operational oversight.

- Fire prevention, grounding, and patient preparation
Understand the patient response
- Oxygen’s physiologic effects and potential toxicity
- Decompression calculations and tables
- Patient assessment, ear checks, vital signs, and documentation
From checklist to chamber
- Supervised introduction to controls and operating checklists
- Absolute and relative contraindications
- Recognizing adverse events, including barotrauma and oxygen toxicity
Practice the operating sequence
- Patient loading, communication, and treatment records
- Neurologic assessment in the course context
- Decompression illness and diving-related injuries
Apply the concepts to cases

SAFETY IS A PRACTICEPrepare deliberately.
Prepare deliberately.
Respond as a team.
- Recognize how pressure, oxygen, and equipment change the working environment.
- Use preparation, screening, observation, and communication as part of daily routines.
- Connect fire prevention, grounding, and chamber-entry checks to the facility safety program.
- Rehearse emergency roles and procedures before an unexpected event occurs.
- Understand why documentation, review, and continuing education matter after the course.
Course education supports safety awareness. Facility compliance also depends on applicable requirements, the adopted code edition, equipment, manufacturer instructions, and oversight.
