WHY GET CERTIFIED?
The one-hour Training & Certification module was conceived to maintain MoCA’s superior validity and was designed for busy medical professionals.
-
Care providers and researchers of all backgrounds will gain applicable knowledge of neuroanatomy and the cognitive domains that MoCA assesses.
-
You will become more confident in administering MoCA and explaining results to patients and families.
-
You will receive a unique MoCA ID number and certificate. Your name and certified status will automatically appear on the tests you administer.
Successful completion of the official Training & Certification is mandatory for anyone administering paper based MoCA tests. We found only 33% of users have acceptable proficiency prior to MoCA Certification, compared to 79% after completing training only once
Training & Certification is now free for students, faculty members, academic researchers and publicly operated healthcare institutions. (Proof of status is required).
Training available in several languages

“As a Research Scientist I consider the MoCA Certification a key step towards standardizing research data collection. Successful completion of the official MoCA Training & Certification not only contributes to the quality and accuracy of the data but also to building trust among research participants and investigators, who become more confident in administering MoCA and explaining results to patients and families.”

“Thank you so much for the online MoCA Training and Certification program. As an educator at an Occupational Therapy Assistant Program, the training was SO HELPFUL in teaching my learners about standardized assessments for cognition. Additionally, the rater status credential makes my graduates more marketable as they transition into clinical practice. The Training and Certification program is an invaluable resource for my students and me!”
