OUR FLAGSHIP HANDS-ON PROGRAM · HCTHyperbaric
Hyperbaric
Certified Technician.
For the people who prepare the chamber, support the patient, monitor the session, and respond when something changes. Formal hyperbaric training is essential preparation for delivering HBOT, and HCT is our technician certification pathway.
HBOTCertification.com provides this 40-hour program with educational oversight and accreditation through the National Hyperbaric Safety Association. Your learning moves between the classroom and the chamber, so the science becomes something you can put into practice.
40 hours / 4 daysIn personMonoplace & multiplacePractical assessment
What sets the experience apart is time spent working on the equipment. You practice controls, checklists, patient communication, operating sequences, and emergency scenarios with instructors and fellow trainees.
Required qualifications depend on your role, employer, state, and applicable facility standards. HCT training does not replace professional licensure, clinical supervision, or facility-specific competency requirements.
A CLINICAL FOCUSBuilt around the care
Built around the care
your team delivers.
The curriculum covers established on-label indications alongside off-label, emerging, and research-based applications. Learn to separate accepted uses from questions that still need stronger evidence.
Diving medicine provides useful foundations and is included in the curriculum. Our primary emphasis is practical hyperbaric care in hospitals and clinics, including the safety and clinical judgment involved in evaluating newer applications.

THE CLINICIAN PATHWAY · HCCHyperbaric
Hyperbaric
Certified Clinician.
For eligible healthcare providers and prescribers who need a deeper understanding of the clinical decisions behind hyperbaric care. This pathway is intended for physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, chiropractors, and naturopathic physicians, subject to professional scope and state requirements.
The 40-hour course shares the HCT foundation and hands-on experience, with higher expectations for clinical knowledge. Your preparation, certification requirements, and NHSA board examination reflect that responsibility.
- Evaluate contraindications, precautions, and patient suitability
- Understand adverse effects and how to discuss risks and expectations
- Connect physiology and current evidence to patient-centered decisions
- Practice with the technician cohort and strengthen communication across roles

SAFETY IS A LEADERSHIP RESPONSIBILITY · CSDClinic Safety
Clinic Safety
Director.
Every hyperbaric facility needs a designated safety leader. Our online Clinic Safety Director course prepares that person to organize the safety program, strengthen everyday procedures, and keep the team ready to respond.
This is an administrative safety role. A medical background is not required for the course, but a foundation in hyperbaric training is.
Prerequisite: complete accredited hyperbaric training first.
Applicants must have completed an accredited hyperbaric course, such as our HCT or HCC program, before taking Clinic Safety Director training.
- Safety policies, responsibilities, and operational oversight
- Oxygen and fire safety, equipment checks, and maintenance planning
- Staff training, emergency preparedness, and incident documentation
- Understanding relevant standards and coordinating with facility leadership
$1,000Online course · Manual included
NFPA 99 uses the term “hyperbaric safety coordinator” in its 2024 edition. Course completion supports role preparation; facilities must meet the qualifications and requirements of their adopted codes and local authorities.
BRING THE TRAINING TO YOUR FACILITYYour team.
Your team.
Your equipment.
One shared standard.
Dr. Borsand and his certified hyperbaric training team come to your facility for a 40-hour, four-day program. Train up to 10 people together, using your own chambers and the environment where your team will work every day.
Train the whole team.
Strengthen every handoff.
The patient experience starts with the first phone call. A receptionist who understands basic HBOT language can explain what to expect, share preparation instructions, and route clinical questions to the right person.
When the whole team has a shared foundation, patients arrive better prepared and staff know where their responsibilities begin and end. Front-desk education builds communication skills; clinical screening and treatment decisions remain with qualified clinicians.
- Hands-on instruction with your facility’s equipment
- Shared checklists, communication, and emergency scenarios
- Clinical and technical learning appropriate to each trainee’s role
- Less disruption from sending your entire team out of town
- Course planning that accounts for your facility, team, and preferred dates

BEFORE YOU REGISTER
A few helpful answers.
One application for HCT, HCC, and Clinic Safety Director. Select the course that fits your role and qualifications.
Which certification should I choose?
HCT is the technician pathway for practical hyperbaric operations. HCC is for eligible clinicians and prescribers with deeper clinical responsibilities. Clinic Safety Director is online training for the administrative safety role and requires previous accredited hyperbaric education.
Is the HCT or HCC course online?
No. HCT and HCC are 40-hour in-person programs that include hands-on chamber training, classroom instruction, and assessment. Clinic Safety Director is the online course. On-site training brings the in-person program to your facility.
Are emerging or off-label applications covered?
Yes. The curriculum includes established on-label indications and discussion of off-label, emerging, and research-based applications. The course addresses evidence, limitations, safety, and clinical judgment. Discussing an application does not mean that it is FDA-approved, proven effective, or appropriate for every patient.
Can everyone on our team earn the same certification?
Training can include your whole team, but certification depends on each trainee’s course, professional eligibility, and successful completion of the relevant assessments. HCC is reserved for eligible clinicians. Front-desk participation does not confer clinical authority.
Does certification satisfy every regulatory requirement?
Training is one part of a safe hyperbaric program. Licensure, professional scope, facility requirements, equipment standards, supervision, and local approvals must also be addressed. Confirm the requirements that apply to your role and location before enrolling.
