Certified Medication Technician Final/
Challenge Exam (CMT 100-75)

Some students are permitted to skip the CMT class and proceed directly to the final exam. Students eligible to do so are:

• Persons enrolled in an RN or LPN program who have completed the medication administration course and have a letter of endorsement from the school and a copy of college transcript (must take CNA challenge exam first if he/she is not an active Missouri CNA).
  
• Graduates of an RN or LPN program who have failed their state board examinations (must take the CNA challenge exam first if they are not an active Missouri CNA).
  
• Individuals certified as a CMT in another state who submit a letter of recommendation from an employer, administrator, or director of nursing from the state in which they were previously certified.
  
• Persons who have completed an RN or LPN program and have not yet taken or received notification of state board results and more than 90 days have elapsed since graduation or taking the state board exam (must take CNA challenge exam first if he/she is not an active Missouri CNA).
  
• Persons trained as psychiatric medication aides from the Department of Mental Health and who have received the 16 hour orientation module (see CNA Review 102-40) and have an active CNA certificate.  (These individuals must take the CNA challenge first if they are not an active Missouri CNA).

Process:

1. Students must enroll for the test and schedule an exam date with the instructor.
   
2. Students must provide all required documentation (see above) including any out of state certificates and their social security number to allow for application to the state for a Permission to Challenge letter if the student has not applied prior to contacting the school.  
   
   Note:   Letters are good for four months from the date of the letter.
   
3. Students will receive a letter from the college with the location of the exam, supplies needed, and any additional information pertinent to that student.

Fees:

$95 non-refundable test fee plus an additional fee of $18.00 sent to the State with the final exam paperwork for the Missouri certificate.

Note:

Tests should be scheduled at least 4-6 weeks prior to the desired date to allow for processing of all applications through the State office.  SCC does not have any clinical sites that will permit us to bring in a CMT challenge student that is not an employee to take the clinical portion of the exam.Call 636-922-8280 for an appointment to take the CMT Challenge Exam.
