How to Become a Hyperbaric Technician

We receive a number of phone calls each week from folks inquiring how to become a Hyperbaric Technician, which is an added qualification awarded by either the NBDHMT or the ABWH.  

We have compiled a one-stop list of resources to help you learn what it takes to become a hyperbaric technician.

Please note that the American Board of Wound Healing (ABWH) offers added qualifications similar to the CHT awarded by the NBDHMT. The ABWH offers Certified Hyperbaric Specialist (CHS) and Certified Hyperbaric & Wound Specialist (CHWS) . 

The UHMS recognizes both CHT, CHRN and CHS, CHWS - you can find the UHMS position statement here.

Our Introduction to Hyperbaric Medicine basic training course applies to those pursuing CHT, CHRN, CHS or CHWS, as it is a UHMS approved training course.
