Ready to advance your workforce?

Team training:
certification & prep

A growing number of organizations require their Quality & Safety leaders to hold the Certified Professional in Healthcare Quality (CPHQ.) That’s because as the only accredited credential in healthcare Quality, those who earn the CPHQ demonstrate that they have the commitment and competencies they need to excel in their Quality roles – and when teams are all CPHQs,  they have the common knowledge they need to be aligned and coordinated.

NAHQ designed, developed and hosts the CPHQ exam. In addition, we offer a suite of the most comprehensive preparation materials available for your team of 10 or more.

  • Developed directly from the exam content outline
  • Designed specifically for adult learners
  • Includes multiple formats to meet varied learning styles
  • Complement one another for the most thorough prep when combined
