Take note 📝

Your CEU requirement is based on the credential with the highest requirement. So, if you hold a certificate-level credential and you earn an Advanced or Registry-level credential, your CEU requirement will increase to match that level.

The History and Background of CCI and the CVT Profession

For over 50 years, Cardiovascular Credentialing International (CCI) has been a leader in the credentialing of cardiovascular professionals. In 1968, the National Society of Cardiopulmonary Technology (NSCPT) was formed. The NSCPT was a professional society that also administered credentialing examinations. NSCPT had a Board of Schools and an examination committee. At that time the credential was RCPT (Registered Cardiopulmonary Technologist).

In 1977, the first noninvasive (echo) examination was offered by the NSCPT in addition to the cardiac cath exam. Individuals earned the Registered Cardiovascular Technician (RCVT) credential. The next year the NSCPT divested itself of the credential and the National Board for Cardiopulmonary Credentialing (NBCPC) was formed.

1981 was when the American Medical Association (AMA) Council on Medical Education (CME) officially recognized cardiovascular technology as an allied health profession. Then, in 1984 the National Alliance of Cardiovascular Technologist (NACT), and the American Cardiology Technologists Association (ACTA) joined to form the National Board of Cardiovascular Technology (NBCVT).
