How do I apply to take the Certification exam?
To apply for either the CCD or CBDT exam, please visit the Certify page at ISCD.org. Once you have selected the exam you wish to register for and have reviewed the associated handbook, you can apply for the exam either online or printing the application, filling it out and mailing/faxing it in with payment.    

Is there a study guide or suggested resources for the Certification exam?
ISCD provides a complete exam content outline which can be found in the CCD Handbook or CBDT Handbook. This outline provides all the information that will be on the exam.   

Will this course prepare me for the exam?
ISCD offers a Quality Bone Densitometry Course for Clinicians and Technologists, which provides education on performing quality bone densitometry. The educational content covers many of the areas in the respective exam content outlines. Taking either course is not required, nor is completion a guarantee that an applicant will pass the certification exam, but the courses provide the foundational knowledge related to clinical densitometry. 

If I register for the course, am I also registered to sit for the exam?
No. The course registration is separate from the exam registration and each has separate fees.    

Will the credits received from this course count towards recertification?
If an attendee is currently certified, yes, credits will count towards recertification. If an attendee is not certified and plans to sit for the exam, credits from the course taken prior to being certified will not count because they were not obtained during their certification cycle.
