Organization Pricing Built Around Your Certification Volume

NPS Bridge Organization Plans provide group Certification Access at a fixed per-seat rate for the applicable 12-month plan term. Each plan includes a defined number of Certification Seats, access to NPS Group Management, administrator setup, and support for assigning Certification Seats to eligible candidates.

A Certification Seat is access that may be assigned to one eligible candidate for one NPS certification program through the applicable NPS group workflow. Choose the plan that best matches your expected volume and operating needs. Candidate eligibility, program availability, and the applicable agreement still govern each assignment and certification pathway.

What to Know Before Selecting a Plan

12-Month Plan Term

Your Organization Plan applies for the applicable 12-month term, including its fixed additional-seat rate.

Certification Seat Availability

Purchased Certification Seats do not expire under the current commercial model, subject to the applicable agreement, transfer rules, and refund rules.

Additional Certification Seats

Additional Certification Seats purchased during the plan term use the fixed rate associated with your selected plan.

Candidate Eligibility

Purchasing or assigning a Certification Seat does not establish candidate eligibility. Candidates must meet the current requirements for the applicable NPS certification program.

Program and Renewal Availability

NPS confirms supported programs, initial-certification or renewal availability, and applicable route conditions during plan setup

Plan Changes and Renewal

Upgrade, transfer, refund, payment, and renewal terms are governed by the applicable agreement and current NPS policies presented before approval or purchase.

Organization Responsibilities

NPS provides certification, examinations, credential issuance, administration tools, and credential verification. Organizations remain responsible for training, supervision, skills validation, employment decisions, and their own requirements.

NPS Bridge Boundary

NPS Bridge provides certification access and administration support; it is not a school, staffing agency, clinical site operator, employer of record, or placement guarantee.

Candidate Progress Visibility

Review available candidate status and progress information through the applicable NPS Group Management workflow.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an NPS Bridge Organization Plan?

An NPS Bridge Organization Plan is a 12-month group Certification Access arrangement for qualified schools, employers, health systems, laboratories, diagnostic centers, workforce programs, and other organizations. Each plan includes a defined number of Certification Seats, a fixed additional-seat rate during the plan term, NPS Group Management access, administrator setup, and applicable support.

What is a Certification Seat?

A Certification Seat is access that may be assigned to one eligible candidate for one NPS certification program through the applicable NPS group workflow.

What is Certification Access?

Certification Access describes the broader NPS service provided to an organization or group. Certification Seats are the counted units purchased and assigned within that relationship.

How much do the Organization Plans cost?

NPS Bridge Foundation includes 25 Certification Seats for $4,000, or $160 per seat. NPS Bridge Growth includes 100 Certification Seats for $13,000, or $130 per seat. NPS Bridge Leadership includes 250 Certification Seats for $30,000, or $120 per seat.

Which Organization Plan fits our volume?

NPS Bridge Foundation has the lowest published Organization Plan total cost from 25 through 81 expected seats. NPS Bridge Growth has the lowest published Organization Plan total cost from 82 through 230 seats. NPS Bridge Leadership has the lowest published Organization Plan total cost from 231 through 250 seats. Needs above 250 seats route to a higher-volume consultation. Operational needs may still justify comparing more than one route.

What is the rate for additional Certification Seats?

The additional-seat rate matches the selected plan: $160 each for NPS Bridge Foundation, $130 each for NPS Bridge Growth, and $120 each for NPS Bridge Leadership during the applicable 12-month plan term.

Do unused Certification Seats expire?

Purchased Certification Seats do not expire under the current commercial model, subject to the applicable agreement, transfer rules, and refund rules. The 12-month term controls plan benefits and the fixed additional-seat rate; it does not by itself make purchased Certification Seats expire.

Is NPS Group Management included?

Yes. Organization Plans include NPS Group Management access and administrator setup for the applicable organization workflow. Current capabilities and role limits are confirmed during setup.

Can multiple administrators have access?

Administrator access is part of the Organization Plan workflow. The number and type of available administrator roles must match the current production configuration and will be confirmed during setup.

Which NPS certifications can our organization offer?

Organization access may be available for Certified Clinical Medical Assistant, Certified Phlebotomy Technician, Certified Electrocardiogram Technician, Certified Patient Care Technician, Certified Medical Administrative Assistant, and Certified Behavioral Health Specialist programs. NPS confirms current availability and route-specific conditions before plan activation.

Can Organization Plans support renewals?

Organization-sponsored renewal access may be available for supported NPS credentials. NPS will confirm the current renewal programs, candidate requirements, and workflow for your organization.

Can employers, laboratories, and workforce programs use Organization Plans?

Yes. Organization Plans are designed for qualified schools, employers, health systems, laboratories, diagnostic centers, workforce programs, and other organizations with group certification needs.

What happens after we choose a plan?

NPS reviews the organization route, certification programs, agreement, payment process, and setup requirements. After approval and activation, administrator access is provisioned or connected and Certification Seats become available for assignment under the applicable terms.

Can we upgrade to another plan?

Contact NPS to review current upgrade options. Any price, seat, rate, and term adjustments are governed by the applicable agreement and current NPS policies.

Are Certification Seats refundable or transferable?

Refund and transfer eligibility is governed by the applicable agreement and current NPS policies. Review those terms before approval or purchase.

Does the plan renew automatically?

Renewal terms are defined in the applicable agreement presented before approval or purchase. Do not rely on the public plan term alone to determine renewal or automatic-renewal status.

What should we do if we need more than 250 Certification Seats?

Submit the plan-selection form and choose more than 250 seats. NPS will review your expected volume, programs, administrator needs, locations or cohorts, and implementation timeframe before recommending a higher-volume route.

Should a qualified instructor choose Instructor Group Rates instead?

Qualified NPS-certified instructors purchasing smaller quantities should normally review Instructor Group Rates first. Instructors at or approaching 25 seats should compare both routes because volume, organization structure, ongoing use, and administrator needs may affect the best fit.

Do study materials or practice exams have to be completed before the certification exam?

No. NPS study materials and unlimited practice exams are optional preparation resources. After completing identity verification and receiving application approval, an eligible candidate may proceed directly to the certification examination without accessing or completing those resources.

Does purchasing a Certification Seat guarantee eligibility, certification, or employer acceptance?

No. Candidates must meet current NPS eligibility and application requirements and successfully complete the applicable certification examination. NPS does not guarantee eligibility, examination success, certification, employer acceptance, employment, licensure, or legal authorization to perform job duties.
