How this checker counts

    Your program director, and NCCT for the TS-C, decide what counts for you. This checker follows the published rules and is independent of AST, ARC/STSA and NCCT. Programs that use the AST requirement can track every student’s cases this way in Academy’s Clinicals: see how it works.
